From the moment you arrive in Cancun, until the moment you leave, every person whose path you cross, wants one thing Your money. And trust me, they will get it if you’re not prepared.
They take advantage of people just like you everyday. These guys are experts at separating you from your money. We all underestimate them and it is a critical mistake.
This is why, if you are coming to Cancun on vacation, you must read every word of this letter. Don’t be another naive victim of the Cancun Connection.
Inside, I reveal dozens of secrets "they" do not want you to know. I shine a spotlight on things like
The only way to get from the airport to your hotel for about $5 per person. Forget the $45/person shuttles and $60 cab rides. This ONE tip covers your entire investment in this guide!
How to save hundreds on tours, excursions and souvenirs. This alone is worth the investment in the guide
How I stayed in a water front hotel for $40 a day and you can too And I enjoyed dirt cheap drinks at the tiki bar
The one question you MUST ask before you ever get into a cab. (I was actually threatened for publishing this)
5 restaurants with delicious food where you can eat on the water for about $5-6 per person (And yes, they are in the Hotel Zone)
The rental car "secret" Expedia won’t tell you that will double your bill. And what to do about it.
Cancun is one of the most beautiful places in the world, right? Unfortunately, it has a dirty, seedy underground which few tourists know about.
For starters, 4 million people travel to Cancun every year. The reason why is as clear as the Caribbean.
Cancun has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is warm enough all year long to enjoy the beach everyday.
It’s true for many parts of Mexico. But it is most definitely not true of Cancun or any part of the Riviera Maya.
All these destinations (Cancun, Cozumel, Playa Del Carmen) lie in the most expensive state in Mexico, Quintana Roo.
Taxis in the hotel zone are outrageous. It will cost you more to drive 3-10 miles from the airport to your hotel than it would in New York City; around $60 USD. And just to go a few blocks $8 minimum!
The shuttle, where they pack 10-15 of you in a hot van will cost you $45-60 per person. And youll have to stop at every other passengers hotel unless you are lucky enough to be staying at the first stop.
The tourist restaurants in the hotel zone cost as much and even more than in any major city in the world. But there are a few exceptions which I’ll tell you all about.
Drink prices at your hotel, restaurants and bars will rival or exceed drink prices in a nice bar in a major American city. For example, a large piña colada at Señor Frogs in the Hotel Zone will cost you about $15!
Souvenirs like t-shirts, caps and trinkets can be very expensive in Cancun if you dont know where and how to buy them. You will save 300% or more after reading this book.
Cancun has some of the finest stores in the world selling designer jewelry and clothing. And the prices match or exceed prices in Los Angeles or London. Do not come here looking for a bargain on those type of items
Almost every tourist attraction is going to be more expensive than what a normal person thinks it should be. To get into some of the major parks like Xcaret costs more than it does to get into Disney World, around $125 per person for 1 day.
The plan and purpose of every part of the tourist industry in Cancun is to squeeze every dollar they can out of you, at every point in your journey.
You don’t want to take advice from some travel agent who spent a week here. They would have no clue how it really works. And you sure don’t want to take advice from your hotel concierge. (Hint: He’s paid for everything he recommends)
And please don’t take any advice from the free guides, maps and pamphlets they pass out at your hotel, rental car stands and area restaurants! Because everything in them is paid advertising.
The first, Juan Doe is a Mexican national, born and raised in Mexico. He has spent the last 28 years living and working in Cancun, very close to the tourist industry.
This guy knows everyone who is anyone in Cancun. Walking down the street with him is an adventure and also an exercise in patience. He can’t take 10 steps without someone saying hello to him.
He’s worked in or with all the tourist businesses and hotels in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. He knows all the scams, tricks and their operating tactics.
I’m an American living and operating a business in Cancun for the past year. I love it here and I’ve learned so much more living here than I ever knew as a 3-time tourist.
I am providing the American point of view on Juan’s suggestions. As well as throwing in a lot of my own.
For example, some of the places Juan likes to eat… I’m sorry but I won’t eat there and neither would you.
The truth is, there are many people in Cancun who would be very interested in knowing who is providing this information.
And they would do almost anything to stop it from getting out. We have to protect our identities in order to live happily and safely and operate our businesses here.
But we are committed to helping visitors to Cancun. Personally, I am sick and tired of seeing all the "sheep" getting sheared by the locals. That is my motivation. In this book
Cancun is such a…
