I'm planning a trip to Cancun this spring break with a group of friends and wanted just hear some experiences people had with Cancun. I'm aware that it's a vacation hotspot and there shouldn't be any further discussion about it, but if anyone could provide some feedback on their trip there, that'd be great.
Also, my main concern is.... the budget.
For about a week of stay and not living too extravagantly, how much do you think I'll realistically spend?

ive been to cancun probably like 12 times
i'm guessing you're doing spring break? where you staying? Most hotels have guides or promoters that work with the hotel. GO WITH THEM EVERY NIGHT. I know at my hotel, it was pretty much 45 bucks a night, and you get VIP bottle service with open bar..IE they bring you a new bottle when you run out..
definitely do all inclusive, as you'll save a good amount on drink (especially if you're going for a piss up)
What hotel are you staying at?
take the public bus everywhere..they're about 6 pesos (60 cents) and after dark they're an absolute blast
oh yeah...dont pee on the beach..cops will make you empty your wallet

Cancun is awesome. Definitely the best place in Mexico IMO. Best beaches and water. I will warn you, although you can find some cheaper or budget hotels, Cancun has been built up and upscaled quite a bit in the past decade or so. Lots of high-end stores and restaurants.
If you want some dinner recommendations and aren't afraid to splurge one night, let me know and I can post them.
As Tony stated, the buses literally take you everywhere and are incredibly cheap. They run 24/7.
For a week probably $1000-1200 should be enough including hotel and flight. The amount you spend there depends on you. Are you going to spend most of the time on the beach, doing activities or just going there to find easy meat? Partying isn't anything you won't see in NYC or other major city, but the weather is nice and women will be wild during spring break so that should be fun. Clubs for $40-50 a night with unlimited alcohol sounds about right (but alcohol is significantly watered down).
just go to Cabo!!!
Cabo is overrated. Beaches suck, water and waves are much worse than Cancun.
playa del carmen for the grown n sexy
I second this. Even if you're still not grown and immature. Cancun is too god damn touristy.
Well, if you're looking for the coolest place to get away from it all, you can't beat Isla Mujeres. Short ferry ride from Cancun to a whole new latitude.
where should I go for a Mexican "happy ending" and by that I mean an ax to the neck from a Cartel assassin? also I cook the purest meth in the US if that makes a difference.
