Cancun

Trying to de-stress and escape from reality?

Cancun, Mexico is the place to go.

I was trying to escape from the cold winters of New York and finally relax after finals week. I decided Mexico was going to be my destination before 2011 ended. Getting off the plane in Cancun was surprisingly amazing; I was mind-blown as to how great the weather was. I had the pleasure of staying at the Moon Palace Resort and can't even begin to describe how breathtaking the view was at the Resort. The Resort had many activities planned. The trip was only four days but I definitely made the most of it.

During the four days, I had to squeeze in as many things as I could; jet skiing, para sailing, kissing dolphins, exploring the city, eating as much as I could, flea markets, and of course laying on the beach and getting my tan on! Jet skiing was my favorite. Riding against the waves with the wind cooling you off and at the same time having the sun shinning on your back was the best feeling. Para sailing was a great experience, as you soar higher and higher, the view of the Gulf of Mexico and the city of Cancun becomes just indescribably magnificent.

I highly recommend staying at Moon Palace Resorts; 13 restaurants, golf and spa, jet skiing and para sailing provided during the day, and even special night performances.

On the third night, my friends and I stumbled into a Michael Jackson performance. It was pretty impressive, it was basically a recreated Michael Jackson concert with a few of his most famous songs: Billie Jean, Beat it, Thriller, We are the World, etc.

Cancun was amazing, never a dull moment in this paradise on earth.
Mexico has been top priority for tourists during the holidays. After my first trip to Mexico, I completely understand how people were drawn to this welcoming and warm place.
