Cancun, a Gay Travel Guide and Tips

by Ricardo d Argence

If you are going on vacation to Cancun, you are going to have a blast. As you get prepared, consider the money you have and the time you’ll be there. You can fly to the area you are going or you can go on a nice long cruise. When traveling with a friend, ensure that you have limitations you agree on and then plan away.

If you plan on taking a cruise, more than likely you will leave from Galveston or Miami to go to Cancun. Usually the ships take off in the evenings. Those who live in the west will end up going on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera.

If flying is the option you have chosen, you may be able to save by booking your flight and a hotel together. If you do decide to go with a travel agent for your trip plans, ensure that they let you know everything that is included in the vacation you are paying for.

You’ll want to see whether you are going to Cancun Calica or Cancun Playa del Carmen. You’ll find that Calica is an area with a great night life, beautiful beaches with white sands, and tours of the Mayan ruins and lovely parks. The Play del Carmen is a town on the beach that has habitat reserves and tropical forests as well.

Buy sunscreen! It’s hard to avoid the water in Cancun, and it’s best to buy waterproof sunscreen.

Make sure you contact the service provider for your cell phone. Find out what you’ll be paying to roam in Mexico. This is important if you are going to stay in touch with your office or with those you care about.

Most of your money should be in traveler’s checks. Most establishments are happy to have American money, but if you exchange cash for pesos, do it at a bank. Carry your theft information for your traveler’s checks separately from the checks, and if you have a credit card be certain you have theft protection. If you do have pesos, be careful not to tear them, and do not accept torn bills, because the Mexican government does not honor torn money.

Make sure that you tip wait service, night club service, and hotel staff. It’s best to give about 10-15% to them.

If you are going to travel by cab, let them know where you are going and come up with an agreed upon price. You don’t have to tip the cab driver.

When you are walking to your destination, never go by yourself. Remember, pedestrians in Mexico are not given the right of way, so be very careful.

Talk to the staff at the hotel you are staying at for some recommendations of areas to check out. If you enjoy gay night life, then check out the night club Karamba.

No matter where you are traveling or how you are getting there, make certain you check about luggage restrictions, including how many pieces you can carry, the size, the weight, and the cost for extra pieces. Also, call the airport or the cruise line a few days before departure to learn about any boarding restrictions on what you can carry with you. The best trips are well planned. You can have fun now organizing your trip, and then while you are actually on vacation you won’t have any surprises to spoil it!
