Here are my two cents as far as where to book. From your list these are where I would go.. - Gran Caribe Real - RIU Cancun - Barcelo Costa - Royal Cancun (high end Adult only) No crazy pool/beach activites - Golden Parnassus - Gran Melia Additionally... Royal Solaris GR Solaris Dreams RIU Caribe No matter where you go, unless it's adult only, there will be kids. And as far as I know, there are only three in Cancun Royal Temptations Golden Parnassus
during march, you cant go wrong where to go. ive done Oasis, oasis playa (when it was an adult only resort), and Golden parnassus. oasis, i just cant handle the kids and the resort smells like puke and wayyyyyyyyy too "Busy" for me. and i consider myself a party animal! lol oasis playa was great but now its a family resort. Golden parnassus, once i went to this resort....ive called it my SECOND HOME now. been going there since and sometimes twice a year at GP. most of us in GP are repeat customers and we pretty much make it our yearly thing now. good luck!
Thanks a lot everyone for the responses. I basically might have to leave on Mar 6 or 7. I've basically narrowed it down to a couple from your suggestions along with availability: Dreams Barcelo Costa Dreams looks like a pretty solid resort, central to everything, walking distance to Kyrstal studentcity if I want to visit. Barcelo Costa looks good too and I save over $100. OMNI Cancun was another choice but it's pretty much the same price as Barcelo which I think is better. My only concern is the old people complaining about music and stuff lol, I hope the Dreams and Barcelo are full of spring breakers so we overrule Cheers
Between the two, I would say Dreams, but that is me. Not sure what the SB scene is like there, but it's top notch. I love their entertainment team. One of the best in Cancun..so very personable and fun. They are more of a family spot, but a beautiful hotel that is one hotel from the Krystal. Barcelo from the one time I was there around Thanksgiving, there was alot of young people. But I have no clue as to anything else about it
Princess, I wish lol I can only go on one of those two weeks. I also pulled up numbers, it looks like with the amount of students off, those two weeks are going to be insanely busy...I found these numbers on the net (amount of students off for all colleges and universities in the U.S). February 21-25, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 334,196 February 28 - March 4, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 156,026 March 7-11, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 1,714,927 March 14-18, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 2,112,478 March 21-25, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 886,403 March 28-April 1, 2011 (Mon-Fri) - 295,922 Tori, thanks. I heard the RIU Cancun is a family resort too but in SB, it's pure party zone. I wonder if it's going to be the same at Dreams...this is my biggest scare right now. I can't book anything with the other resorts on my week...they're not available. The only other two avail are below, but I thought Dreams/Barcelo would be better than them: Great Parnassus OMNI Cancun
Agreed!!! Just book it and make the best of it. It's not like your gonna go home miserable. It's not so bad even if kids are around. Families know it's SB, and even so, those mid-lifers are some crazy ass ppl themselves.
For sure, I'm still contemplating and it's driving me nuts, I don't want to be stuck with the old folks....barcelo costa or dreams..
