CANCUN: This unique resort city on Mexico's east coast combines high-profile larger-than-life
This unique resort city on Mexico's east coast combines high-profile larger-than-life luxury with traditional Mexican hospitality. Currency is the Mexican peso (though dollars are accepted everywhere) and the official language is Spanish (but making your point in English is rarely a problem). Cancun can be great fun!
