    GREAT! I'm sure you guys will have a great time since the dates you chose have a heavy amount of spring breakers in-town. The clubs won't post their lineups until sometime in February although the lineups WILL include some really big names in the techno/electro/hiphop genres.

    There are a TON of extra activities to get into like jungle tours, jet-ski'ing, eco parks, Mayan ruins tours, etc.

    As far as hotels I would recommend:

    Barcelo Costa

    Why this hotel?

    All major year round travel / tour companies offer it = massive mix of
    students = more fun
    Better location that many other hotels, just 5 mins to the party center vs.
    30 mins from Oasis
    One of only a handful of hotels that is all inclusive + offers a "toes in
    sand" bar on the all inclusive
    Quality much higher rooms inside than many other "popular" spring break
    hotels
    Bumpin' music at the pool
    Property is like a nice Holiday Inn on the beach
    Barcelo is a worldwide chain that's very well known not just in Mexico



    Gran Caribe Real

    why this hotel?

    Prime location, across street from Flamingo Plaza it's twice as close to the
    party center as Oasis
    True 5 star - not some dubious "5 star" it realy is a 5 star
    One of the only 24 hour all inclusive (including alcohol) hotel properties
    in Cancun
    Restaurants are superb & not overcrowded
    Higher end hotel keeps the trash out

    Hit us back for more info on this great city!

    I've been to Cancun twice this year and the year before. On my trip this year in March i stayed at the barcello Tucancun and thought it was very nice, with really friendly Staff and the Rooms and food areas were really nice and clan.

    Going in spring break the pool staff "Alan and Useless are really fun guys along with Gloria (think I've remembered her name correctly) who is also lots of fun whilst easy on the eyes. Ha

    Your about a 20 - 30 min walk to the clubs but the hotel put shuttle buses on so you'll be fine. The hotel entertainment staff will tell you were to go each night, You don't have to go with them but its normally a safe bet to do so in terms of wheres the place to be that night. If you decide you want go to somewhere were there not they can still sort you out with tickets and seen as all the clubs are next to each other you can still get the transfer to the clubs.

    Fun times had at the Barcello Tucancun had by all.

    I'm no spring break expert... But from what I've read on here pretty soon as its the main hub for SB.
    I'd hurry up and book.
