I'm not going to do this day by day since they all kind of blended together. Basically, I went to the beach every afternoon and club every night no matter how tired/hungover I was. I had a blast hanging out with my group and meeting the other cc groups on this trip, like every other year. But it was almost, except for the last night, a complete failed year for me when it comes to the girl meeting department. WORST RATIO EVER The spring break ratio was never good but this year was just ridiculous. You see maybe a dozen hot girls at Krystal beach during the day and maybe a handful at night at any club (maybe slightly more if you go to a super packed night where you can barely move). The peak beach party hour was shorten (3:30-5PM at Krystal instead of noon-5PM usually at Oasis) and we spent the prime pregame hours (7-10PM) in our rooms instead of going somewhere with a lively pregaming lobby bar. All that contributed to me meeting almost no girls the entire week. It almost made me want to compile a list of what do girls like questions and post them on cc for next year. CLUBS Clubs were playing a lot more electronic dance music which I really enjoyed. Again, terrible ratio everywhere. Usually, I can easily get girls to come up to me with my dancing but it didn't work at all this year. The new club Mandala was great but it's kind of small and got super packed easily. Sweet is hands down my favorite club in Cancun. Two of the most memorable nights of this trip, I've spent them at Sweet. Their DJ is really good, I love the light up floor and ceiling. When it's not too crowded or too empty, Sweet has the perfect layout for getting drunk with bottle service then dance the night away. KRYSTAL It's nowhere as big as Oasis and the beach was 90% dudes (theme for the entire Cancun this year, not an isolated problem for any particular hotel or club) during the day. The older tower rooms are okay (still way better than Oasis) but I heard the new tower is really nice. I think I'll seriously consider staying at the new tower next year if that's the Student City HQ again. The last night of my trip, I snuck inside and hung out at the lobby bar during pregaming hours, it actually had the best ratio of anywhere I went all week. Me and a friend of a friend (my group all left by that point) met 5 girls at the bar and took them to Sweet and had a great time. NEW FRIENDS OF THE YEAR I meet a lot of people every year, but there are always a special few that you know will become an integral part of your crew for years to come. And this year, Nuno and Mauricio win the award. You guys are tons of fun to hang out with. You are always up for any kind of craziness and you are reliable (flaky people drive me crazy). I'm really looking forward to partying with you guys again whether it's in Vegas, Chicago, or NYC. And the honorable mention is Larson, what a chill guy. It was too bad we couldn't party more together because we were both pretty busy with our own group. Maybe some other time. MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT Mauricio convinced the bus drive to let us rent out the entire bus for US$25 and let us drive it back from the clubs to Oasis at 4AM in the morning. This is not only the best story of this trip. It's possible the best story of all my Cancun trips. SURFIN BURRITO It's so good, it deserves it's own paragraph in my trip report. Thanks Norma for letting me know about this place. They seriously have the best burrito I've ever had and I eat a lot of Mexican food even when I'm not in Cancun. CONCLUSION I had a good time this year but ever since having ridiculous amount of fun 2 years ago, I think the overall enjoyment of my spring break trips has been steadily declining. This is probably the first time I didn't have that sad empty feeling when I left Cancun. I think American spring break just got way too popular among all the dudes around the world. The massive saussagefest never really bother me before but the worse than normal ratio got kind of annoying on this trip. I love Cancun but I don't know if I will go during peak weeks again. I'm thinking doing a non peak week (last week of Feb or first week of March) may have much better ratio and the clubs won't be packed to the point where you can barely move.
"It almost made me want to compile a list of what do girls like questions and post them on cc for next year." I laughed out loud at that sentence. Also, Henry you must go during peak weeks next year. I really want to meet everyone next year!
Great trip report. Sorry about the ratio. I ran into that problem at Temptation 3 yrs ago in march. Thats why i will never go in march again but it's different for as i'm a little older n past my SB days. Thanks for sharing
too bad about the ratio, but that bus story sounds pretty epic haha. where is Surfin Burito? Ive looked and tried a bunch of mexican food places in cancun and havent been to impressed with any so far. and its too bad cuz thats deff my favourite kinda food.
Love the trip reports, I also heard it was the biggest sausage fest that any has ever seen. Might have to do with the “drug crime” and the USA trying to persuade students not to go to Cancun. You just never know. Hopefully it is better next year.
I've told you guys 100 times! I've always gone when it wasn't spring break, and never once it was a sausage fest!! L0l
Just to kind of copy Henry and add my own two cents in CLUBS Normally, I spend 3-4 nights of my trip at Frogs, but this year something seemed to be off. Maybe it was the fact that the whole entire setup was ass backwards, or maybe it was there was too much stuff to do, but I only went there once, and what a night it was. I think it's safe to say that SWEET has also taken over the ranks as my favorite club. The wait for Frogs was way too long the second time we tried to go, so we decided against it. MANDALA is awful, everything is too narrow, and it's damn near impossible to grab a drink or make your way to the bathroom up the 2 foot wide staircase. They should have kept Corona Bar. I liked the fact we tried something different just about every night. City, Bulldog, Sweet, etc. I will NEVER again go to Basic. Seems everytime I go, I do not have a good time, so F YOU BASIC!! Sweet will be hit up more than once next year, of course with the table and bottles! KRYSTAL Anytime you can set up your own party spot on the beach complete with an unnecessary amount of bottles, its sure to be a good time, as was the case with Krystal beach. Yes, alot of dudes, but with the help of booze on demand, you can bring girls in like nothing. Definitely some good times were had at Krystal. Just wish I made it there more than 3? times. NEW FRIENDS OF THE YEAR I enjoyed meeting everyone individually but if I had to give the award out, it goes to three. Hands down, Mauricio, Nuno and Ron. Those guys love to party and fit right in with our group. What more can I say? Also, was a pleasure to meet the rest of you guys, Nico, Kellz, Ryan etc...all helped make the trip what it was. I trust a few more will be joining the regular group next year. MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT If I could remember the majority of the trip, I'd probably have a most memorable. Evidently I was directing traffic outside of Frogs one night, but for the life of me, I cannot recall. :xyxthumbs: SURFIN BURRITO Also deserves a paragraph from me. I had the tacos twice, and the burrito once, and it was heavenly. Despite it taking about an hour and a half to get the meal, it was well worth it. Quite inexpensive as well, always a plus. CONCLUSION Definitely a trip to remember, thanks to everyone involved. My only hope for next year is that I dont spend all of my energy the first night out, and maybe I'd be able to partake in some more daytime activities haha. Definitely one for the books, with the new group of friends, and the possibility of some returning regulars (not to mention names, but I have confirmation) :sofa: next years trip could go above and beyond. MVP I am sure I named someone an MVP already, but Luz is by far the most valuable to the trip. Hooking us up with tables and bottles pretty much every night, just cant be topped. She's the best! Here's to ya Luz :beer4:
my name is Norma you dork! hahahahahaahahahaha jk i will add my own trip report later... spring break isnt over for me yet, today, its been 10 days officially since i started going out every single night and havent stopped and yes, your traffic directing was awesome, punk
