The usual winter for most Russians is not here. Cancun's climate is tropical and can be divided into two main periods - the rainy season and the rest of the season.
High season
The tourist season in Cancun usually begins in November-December and lasts until April. The dry season is characterized by hot weather, low rainfall, lack of wind and, as a result, less disturbance at sea. The water temperature in the Caribbean during these months is slightly lower than in the rainy season, but overall it is comfortable for vacationers - about 25-27 degrees.
Airline prices at this time of the year are much higher than in the low season. If you plan a trip in the high season, especially during the New Year and Christmas, we recommend that you book hotels and buy tickets in advance.

Early booking and last minute tours
Tours to Cancun are also better to purchase in advance. Earlier booking will save up to 30% of the cost of the tour. We recommend adding this page to your bookmarks, last minute tours to Cancun and offers with early booking often appear with discounts up to 50%!
Rain season
The rainy season in Cancun lasts from May to November. At this time of the year, you can often observe long tropical showers, strong wind and increased humidity, which together with high temperature creates not the most favorable conditions for beach holiday and trips for excursions. However, the tourist infrastructure at the resort also works during the low season, hotels still welcome guests, and guides carry tourists on excursions.
The only drawback to relaxing in Cancun during the rainy season is that you have to adapt to the weather. Sunbathing in the sun at any time of the day will not work, but under the scattered rays, the risk is sunburn much lower. The advantages of relaxing in Cancun during the low season include reduced prices for hotels, flights, rental houses and villas, entertainment, as well as a more relaxed atmosphere on the beaches.
When is the best time to go to Cancun?
The best months for a holiday in Cancun are traditionally considered November, December, January, February, March and April. Russian tourists visit the resort throughout the year, but of course they give preference to the dry season.
When planning a trip to Cancun, it is also worth considering that the climate on the planet has recently begun to change and the weather periodically pleases with “surprises”, so the beginning and end of the seasons can easily shift by a month, and tropical rain can happen even when you are not waiting for it at all. Read the latest weather reviews from tourists below.
Tropical rains in Cancun during the rainy season often occur, but usually do not last long, so even in the rainy season you can also sunbathe here.
The air temperature during the day fluctuates around 25-31 degrees Celsius.
It is cool in the night hours in Cancun - from +24 to +30 degrees Celsius, so it will not be superfluous to bring along some things like a windbreaker, light jacket, etc.
The average water temperature in Cancun for months varies between 24 and 30 degrees, which creates favorable conditions for swimming all year round.

WHICH SEA RESORT IN MEXICO TO CHOOSE?
In our review, we will talk about holidays in the coastal resorts of Mexico on the Atlantic coast - Cancun and the Mayan Riviera. Russian tour operators today sell tours only with arrival in Cancun.
Most of the most modern Mexican resorts are located here, on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula). The main contingent of holidaymakers in Cancun is tourists from the USA (62% of all tourists arriving in Cancun). For residents of this country, Cancun and nearby resorts, such as the Mayan Riviera, are about the same as for Russians - Turkish Antalya: close, short-term flights, all-inclusive hotels and excellent beaches.
The plus of the Atlantic resorts of Mexico for our tourists can be considered, and without exaggeration, a chic entertainment infrastructure for active tourism.
It is really white (the color of high-quality book paper), and by consistency here it is more like fine flour or a soft powder.
For example, giants such as Moon Palace Cancun 5 * - this is 6 thousand rooms (however, thanks to the huge green area with several crowds of buildings, you can’t even see it here even when fully loaded). In high-quality fives and even fours, there is evening animation (quite incendiary).
Both in Cancun and in the Mayan Riviera you can find both bright and large city hotels in the center of nightlife, as well as quieter and more comfortable boutique hotels with a high level of service.
- TOP list the most popular hotels in Mexico among Russiansrecommended by ANEX Tour for different categories of tourists in 2019,.
- In Mexico hotels, only 110 volt sockets with three flat connectors, and an adapter will be needed to charge the electronics. In a number of hotels, it is issued free of charge at the reception, the main thing is to hand it in at the check-out. In other hotels, adapters are sold - from 8 to 12 dollars. Often in 5 * hotels in sockets or bedside “smart alarms” iHomethere are inputs USB - So you can also charge part of the equipment, but it will be a long time.
- Even at high-end hotels in Cancun and the Mayan Riviera no heated towel rails. In the Mediterranean, this is not a problem. But in Mexico your things are on the balcony do not dry in a night - even in winter there is very high humidity. Therefore necessarily stock up on several swimming kits.
Considering not the low prices for vouchers, we strongly recommend choosing 5 * and 4 * hotels and be sure to type of food "all inclusive". Tours at breakfasts or without meals will be, frankly, simply economically disadvantageous. Mexico is a very expensive country, prices in tourist places here are designed for wealthy Americans.
Therefore, eating in the city here, firstly, will have to be at quite Moscow prices (this is not Turkey at all, and especially not Southeast Asia) And secondly, it’s far from everywhere to reach the urban infrastructure. From some hotels, the nearest cafe can be reached only by taxi for 40-50 US dollars one way.
WHAT IS THE “EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN MEXICO” SYSTEM
Another reason to choose the Mexican all-inclusive concept is its richness and completeness. That's where everything is included in the “all inclusive” - it’s in Mexico, and it is definitely worth a try yourself.
In many good fives of Mexico, not only the opportunity to eat at 5-10 restaurants of the hotel to choose from (both buffet style and à la carte), and the use of infrastructure, but also a round-the-clock room service are free. Each hotel has its own “chips” in the concept, often different for different room categories - from the pillow menu where you can order aroma or water pillows to your own dedicated area on the beach or cigar club.
Often the all-inclusive concept in such hotels implies unlimited or reservation meals in a-la-carte restaurants. Thus, a tourist during his vacation can try Mexican, French, Italian, Lebanese, and Japanese cuisine - moreover, according to the menu (as a rule, without restrictions) and of the highest quality.
The all-inclusive restaurant menu in Mexico's good fives will amaze anyone: designed for wealthy guests from the United States, it contains seafood, lobster, marbled beef, and freshly squeezed juices. Often (but not all and not always) are well-known brands of alcoholic beverages of international brands (however, Mexico also has its own high-quality and expensive drinks without them).
In addition to the photo at the top of the section, here are some more photos from the Swedish line of The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun 5 * hotel, which our correspondent visited:
Travel tips and hacks:
- Do not be afraid of "spicy foods" in Mexico. The buffet menu in hotels is completely “European”, no peppery and generally spicy dishes there. Even in restaurants of Mexican cuisine in hotels, the dishes themselves are not spicy at all - only sharp sauces are served to them.
- “All inclusive” in most hotels means a buffet only for breakfast. Lunches and dinners, as a rule, - in restaurants a - la - carte or to choose .
- In most high-level hotels you are supposed to pool and beach waiters - you don’t have to go to the beach bar yourself at all. A top list of the most popular and recommended ANEX Tour hotels in Mexico can be found
DOES IT GO TO MEXICO WITH CHILDREN?
Yes. Moreover - you can and should go to Mexico with your children. This is a better and more interesting beach-animation vacation than, for example, in Turkey.
Travel tips and hacks:
- You can choose which hotels are suitable for families with children by viewing.
- In all of Mexico there is a children's table and a special children's menu. And these are not hamburgers with fries. However, as mentioned above, the usual food in hotels in Mexico is always high-quality, varied and not spicy.
- In many hotels in Mexico on the territory can live not only turtles, but also noses, agoutifrom which children are delighted, but also (in some hotels) crocodiles. But they are not dangerous and shun people living in their lagoons. And a number of hotels have their own dolphinariums - right on the territory.
WHAT TO DO OUT OF HOTEL IN MEXICO: SHOPPING
First, go out into the city (if your hotel is located near the city infrastructure) or take a taxi to it. Depending on the distance of the hotel, a taxi ride will cost from 10 to 40 dollars per car.
In Mexico, in addition to visiting local bars and restaurants, an interesting shopping experience. From edible products and drinks you can buy home real (and very tasty) cocoa, good grain and ground coffee (we recommend coffee from the state of Veracruz), and, of course, local brands of tequila, mezcal and rum. If this is not a supermarket, they can be given to you to taste.
By the way, Mexicans themselves drink milk whipped with a blender with pieces of special chocolate - such portioned chocolate is sold, for example, in the Cocoa Museum in Chichen Itza. We advise you to buy - it is much tastier than cocoa. Another souvenir that you can buy there is chewing gum made from sapato juice. Yes, be sure to take home the local Gusano seasoning - it's salt mixed with chili peppers and shredded dried Magway caterpillars - very tasty, believe me. Sold everywhere.
The “souvenir” is very diverse here - however, the famous skulls immediately catch the eye different types and other symbols of the Day of the Dead, a popular holiday in Mexico. But almost all souvenir products in tourist places are stamped Chinese.
Travel tips and hacks:
- icon $ Mexico is not the US dollar. And the local currency is the peso. Some tourists fall into a state of shock when they see a commission of $ 39 on the ATM screen, $ 210 for a plate of pasta with seafood in the restaurant menu, and a bottle of water for $ 12 in the store. Calm down - this is exactly the peso. And US dollars everywhere in Mexico are written likeUSD .
- Cigarettes in Mexico quite expensive (at least 10-11 dollars per pack), in addition, you can not buy them everywhere, especially if your hotel is remote from the shopping infrastructure. We strongly recommend stocking them before your trip. You can take 1 block of cigarettes to Mexico.
- You can take out of baggage from Mexico (not including goods from Duty Free) no more 3 liters of alcohol per 1 suitcase. Important: if one suitcase is for two tourists, the rule still valid on the basis of “1 suitcase”, not for 1 person. To prove to the customs that bottles for two in this suitcase is useless even if you are husband and wife.
- In Mexico, you can buy exotic and unusual tropical fruits in markets and supermarkets, impossible to take them out of the country (as, by the way, and shells found on the beach) - all the suitcases are visible and the "forbidden" is selected.
Definitely worth a ride on.
To be here and not to see the mysterious Mayan pyramids in Kobe, Tulum, Ek Balan, not to ride over zelva and karst lakes on zip lines in Xel-Ha and Xplore parks, not to swim with a child, not to take pictures or on Pink Lakes, not to swim with dolphins - it is simply not interesting.
The omission will not be to visit the Cancun Cirque du Soleil (it is not touring here, but local, and very popular with tourists).
But - get ready to spend a significant amount on excursions. There are no excursions "for $ 50" in Mexico; they are here in a completely different format and richness than in Europe, and the prices are calculated for Americans.
By the way - you should not buy “excursions” in Mexico online: in Mexico there will be no free wi-fi, a Russian-speaking guide, there will be a completely different food and service.

The climate of Mexico can not be defined in one word - on its vast territory it is very different, it all depends on the region, remoteness from the coast, altitude.

Tours to Cancun are also better to purchase in advance. Earlier booking will save up to 30% of the cost of the tour.
Rain season
The rainy season in Cancun lasts from May to November.

However, the tourist infrastructure at the resort also works during the low season, hotels still welcome guests, and guides carry tourists on excursions.
The only drawback to relaxing in Cancun during the rainy season is that you have to adapt to the weather. Sunbathing in the sun at any time of the day will not work, but under the scattered rays, the risk of getting a sunburn is much lower.
