Avoid Mexico like the plague it is. Seriuosly.

But if you are going, yes I've been to Cozumel. There is a whole strip right along the water that isn't too bad. Kind of a tourist area. Search for excursions given out, those are always a fun and safe way to travel around.

As for far as bars and partying? There are plenty of bars around, especially on that main road I mentioned. But I really wouldn't venture off to bumfuck. Mexico is not a nice place.

Very "touristy." Not as bad as say Nassau as far as people trying to bargain with you all the time in my opinion, but still high up there. There is a Senor Frogs, Margaritaville, etc. all right there on the main strip by the water. Nice open market area too.

To party, they had a party boat that went out to some island and the people that went all had a great time. It was pretty expensive, but it was also all you can drink alkie.

Me and the wife went a different route and went to a private beach and just sat around soaking up the sun drinking pina coladas and eating nachos.

Mexico is pretty weak sauce, but definatley go check out the Mayan ruins in the Yucatan. The water is beautiful down there as well - they have some huge dive spots that are ecological sites so they aren't fished out like in the carribean

I'd go with a machine gun.

Mexico to me, is like Africa. Except just a country. A whole lot of nothing that does nothing but suck up the worlds resources and begs to be blown up daily, yet no one has done it.

But for a vacation that your're already going on, make the best of it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I just have a strong dislike for that country since the takeover of mine by them.

I've been to Cozumel 3 times and enjoyed it each time. The drinks are cheap and plentiful, and one shop has a bunch of Mexican cowboys that sit in front which is hilarious. Great photo op too.

Yeah Senior Frogs is fun and so is carlos and charley's I think thats the name. Been a few years. just know anything you buy can be bargined way down. I got this ring for my girl at the time that they wanted 250 bucks and I got it for 45 when it was all said and done. Easy to bargin with them mexicans. Especially for american dollars.
