    7 days left until our first TTR trip. We are so excited and mostly packed already. But the weather forecast shows 4 days of rain next week.

    If we are stuck in doors anyone with a jaccuzzi suite open to having a party ? What kind of entertainment or games does the resort have for indoors ?

    Ignore the forecast, enjoy your stay, and if it rains, just drink more! And as long as its not lightning or a major downpour, i'll just be staying in the pool.

    I think rain is predicted every day in Mexico. The odds of four days - or even one day being washed out are not something I'd be concerned about. Five minutes of rain from a random dark cloud is much more likely than an all day shower. According to Steve's monthly average weather report, August in Cancun averages four days of rain per month...so it's unlikely you'll see four rainy days during your week.

    I've gone at this time a few years in a row and i always saw rain in the forecast and it might have rained for 10 minutes if that but we stayed in the pool and enjoyed it :)

    I'm pretty sure they throw rain in the forecast just so they won't be wrong if it happens. In April the 3rd day on the TV forecast was always bleak and the next day they just moved it lol.

    In January we did have a day and a half of rain and it was chilly, caught up on some reading and Paty'o's was still hopping at night so it was pretty good just the same.

    Ok so the right answer is somewhere in between. There are days where there are complete rain outs. Sorry it does happen. However, it is also accurate that the majority of the time it is just a short shower and you can ignore the forecast which implies rain every day.

    Reality for us was typically one rain out per trip, 1 or 2 days with a brief shower and the rest beautiful. On that rain out day you can hang in a jacuzzi, hang at the pool bar (it usually stays open), play pool or games in the sports bar or enjoy a day of private time in your room with your significant other. It's all good.

    The forecast has shown rain and thunderstorms every day for the last 3 months which is usual (the forecast that is not the actual weather) at this time of year. The previous 6 weeks have been beautiful though with hardly a drop.

    However, last night we had a tropical system come through and it has been dumping a lot of rain. Today is one of the few days of the year where it has been raining all day, intense at times. This will probably continue for another 24 hrs before the weather brightens up again.

    Here's what it currently looks like:
