cancun

For the Cancun experience—without the tequila-chugging, foam parties -- hit the Riviera Maya. A little farther south down the coast from Cancun—the beaches get more pristine and the beer-bong toting hordes don't bother to venture. If you're an all-inclusive lover, book a room at Azul—or if you're looking for a bit more of a low-key, it's-me-and-the-beach feeling check out Coqui Coqui in Tulum (about two hours from the Cancun International).
