One thing\u2019s for sure, Cancun is the ultimate holiday destination. And top of the list for many when choosing where to stay in Mexico. Whether your idea of a great holiday is soaking up the sun, embarking on an adventure, dancing into the small hours or diving into an array of water-sports, Cancun has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s such a great choice for anyone visiting Mexico for the first time. There&#8217;s a host of incredible resorts scattered along the coastline that are perfect for couples and families alike. Furthermore, adventure is never far away with epic attractions like Chichen Itza are easily doable in a day trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;d recommend Cancun for anyone looking for an exciting holiday, who loves the beach life and who might want to get out and about and do a little exploring too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Riviera_Maya\"><\/span>Riviera Maya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/filip-gielda-VPavA7BBxK0-unsplash-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/filip-gielda-VPavA7BBxK0-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"The incredible Chichen Itza\" class=\"wp-image-29692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/filip-gielda-VPavA7BBxK0-unsplash-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/filip-gielda-VPavA7BBxK0-unsplash-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/filip-gielda-VPavA7BBxK0-unsplash-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The incredible Chichen Itza.

Similarly, to Cancun, years ago Riviera Maya was just a tiny village, but fast-forward and it now boasts high-end resorts, an array of fine dining opportunities, incredible nightlife, shopping and more. Everything is focused on the coast, thanks to the barrier reef system here being the second longest in the world. With <strong>over 120km of turquoise shoreline<\/strong> there are endless water activities to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>For those with an interest in history there\u2019s a host of <strong>traditional Mayan villages within easy reach<\/strong> where you will be transported back in time. Take the opportunity to sample local culture and of course the flavours of the region. The unique location of the Riviera Maya also means a stay here places you perfectly for an adventure. Choose from the ruins of Chichen Itza or Xcaret Park.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly to Cancun, Riviera Maya is great for Mexico first-timers and also has a lot of repeat holidaymakers who visit time and again.

It\u2019s a place to see and be seen, with busy beach clubs and stylish resorts. Therefore, it&#8217;s one of the most expensive parts of Mexico to visit. Surrounding the area is a<strong> dense jungle complete with cenotes and large nature reserves<\/strong>, making the area incredibly beautiful. Tulum is also one of the most popular archaeological zones in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Tulum is another destination in Mexico that you&#8217;ve probably heard of. Like Cancun and Riviera Maya it&#8217;s renowned for amazing beaches, with the<strong> Insta-worthy Playa Para\u00edso<\/strong> probably the most well known. Tulum is also home to unique cultural hotspots like the Mayan Ruins of Coba, complete with a huge pyramid that you can climb.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s location next to the jungle also makes Tulum a great choice for those looking for aquatic adventures.

It personifies everything you think of when it comes to Mexico: beaches adorned with palm trees, colourful coral reefs, delightful restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. It&#8217;s also on the Caribbean coast, so expect azure waters to boot.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>effortlessly cool Fifth Avenue strip<\/strong> is packed full of boutiques, and after sunset comes alive with music and dancing. No we&#8217;re not talking New York, though the Mexican namesake is not too dissimilar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From Playa del Carmen, it\u2019s really easy to <strong>catch a ferry over to the island of Cozumel<\/strong> which is famous for impeccable beaches, diving and more.

But not only this, the island also <strong>showcases nature at it\u2019s very best<\/strong>, untouched and with many areas uninhabited, as the island has only 100,000 residents.<\/p>\n<p>Getting here is super easy, just head over to the ferry port in downtown Playa del Carmen, hop on the ferry and in just 40 minutes you\u2019ll arrive on this tropical island retreat, with an abundance of white sand beaches, exquisite coral reefs and colourful marine life.<\/p>\n<p>The island is a <strong>great choice for a day trip<\/strong> and change of scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Puerto_Vallarta\"><\/span>Puerto Vallarta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-soly-moses-15238141-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-soly-moses-15238141-1.jpg\" alt=\"The picturesque town of Puerto Vallar\" class=\"wp-image-29706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-soly-moses-15238141-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-soly-moses-15238141-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-soly-moses-15238141-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The picturesque town of Puerto Vallarta.

The epic Sierra Madre mountains surround the beaches, mountainous jungle surrounds the city and all this is juxtaposed with traditional cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Puerto Vallarta is a great choice for those looking to experience the authentic side of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pueblos_Magicos\"><\/span>Pueblos Magicos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-melissa-sombrerero-12605499-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-melissa-sombrerero-12605499-1.jpg\" alt=\"Taxco, a Pueblos Magicos. \" class=\"wp-image-29709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-melissa-sombrerero-12605499-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-melissa-sombrerero-12605499-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pexels-melissa-sombrerero-12605499-1-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taxco, a Pueblos Magicos.
