If you mix Miami, Las Vegas and Ibiza you end up with Cancun. In the 1970's, the Mexican government decided it was time to create a world class resort destination that would match Acapulco.
What was a small fishing village only 40 years ago has now been transformed with an endless row of high end resorts. With the crystal clear water and picture perfect beach it is easy to see why they choose Cancun.
With our travel budget we could not stay at any of the high end resorts. Instead we slept in an abandoned shopping mall that had been turned into a hostel.
Thanks to the Mexican law no private property can extend to the waterfront. Staying at the hostel still gave us the possibility to use the same stretch of beach as the resort guests.
