In a country where they mix chilli with chocolate, hot and spicy is definitely the way to go on this holiday.
Cancun is fantastic for milling around American-style malls and designer boutiques, with plenty of opportunities to people-watch from stylish outdoor cafés. Playa del Carmen and Puerto Vallarta are much more down to earth, where bartering for woven rugs, handmade hammocks and jewellery, in their busy markets and shop-lined streets, is part of everyday life. see our amazing value Mexico holiday deals click here

Evening flavour
Cancun is a thriving holiday hot spot for loud bars and all night dancing, with the aptly named 'Zona de Fiesta', Party Zone, being every night owl's haven. Mexico's Riviera Maya, on the other hand, is where the Caribbean meets Ibiza-style chill out lounges, where you will find contemporary beach bars offering soothing rhythms, atmospheric lighting and perfect ice-cold Margaritas. Puerto Vallarta has a fantastic combination of both. see our amazing value Mexico holiday deals click here .Back to top
