    We will be staying at a resort over Spring Break this year - and although the place is wonderful, their lounges aren't. They are designed for basking in the sun - and I'm more of a sit up and look around and read type of gal.
    Consequently, the chaises are too laid back for me.

    So...I was hoping to buy a chair once we arrived in Cancun. Costco? Walmart?

    In the past, I have always brought my own chair with me (much to the embarassment and chagrin of my kids). Yes, I know it's a kind of geeky thing to do - but there are definite advantages. One - I never have to rise at the crack of dawn to save a lounge chair at the pool or beach. Two - it's so comfy with a cup holder and a foot rest and the back is more upright so I can read while sitting up instead of lying down and Three - it's lightweight so I can pick it up and move it wherever I feel like sitting.

    Sadly, my favorite chair met its demise at the beach last year - so I need a new one. And that's why I'm posting...

    Do you know where in Cancun can I might find a decent beach chair that is comfortable and under $60? I can probably find one here in the states, but given that I have to pay to put it on the plane anyway, I thought I would see if it would be worth it to just wait until I got there to buy one. That way, I would only have to pay to ship it one way instead of 2!

    We will be staying out in the hotel zone near Plaza Kukulkan, but can take a cab into downtown..

    Thanks for the help!

    Both Costco and Walmart should have something and they'll be way under $60. Home Depot is another option.

    Costco often haves them on the left as you walk in the door, along with beach towels, coolers, umbrellas, and other beachy stuff.
