tourist centers. Read More»

Why Go: "Playa" boasts a
hip food scene and an even hipper bar scene — that is, if you can tear
yourself away from the breathtaking beach. The nearby community of
Playacar is also helping to distinguish the area as a great golf
getaway. Read More»

Why Go: It's not just a
set of Mayan ruins anymore; now, Tulum is the new frontier of Riviera
Maya beaches. And luckily, the area hasn't succumbed to the mega-resort
influences that have overtaken Cancún, Cabo and parts of Playa del
Carmen. But hurry up: The empire is expanding. Read More»

Why Go: This Yucatán
island is probably best known for two things: coral reefs and cruise
boats. But Cozumel is also a quiet spot to learn about Mayan culture.
Visiting the island's San Gervasio or El Cedral ruins should be high on
your list of things to do here. Read More»

Why Go: Acapulco may have been the
hotspot in the 1950s, when stars like Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy
flocked to its glamorous beaches, but don't think this site has lost
its allure. Sun-worshipers can take advantage of Playa Icacos' soft
sands, while history buffs explore the Fort of San Diego. Read More»

Why Go: After falling
off the tourist map in the 1970s and '80s, Mazatlan is once again

Why Go: The most
populous city in the Americas is steeped in history, culture and
(unfortunately) turbulent politics. Despite its delectable cuisine,
ancient Aztec sites and world-class hotels — all at extremely low costs —
Mexico City visitors are right to tentatively approach this
destination. Read More»

Why Go: Cabo is party
central in the Mexican Baja peninsula, but it's also an enclave of some
of Mexico's most luxurious resorts and a haven for lovers of the links.
Stay in nearby San José del Cabo if you're looking for some respite from
the area's busy beaches and loud parties. Read More»

Why Go: Sand, bars and
inexpensive flights from the United States make Cancún one of the go-to
spots for a Spring Break vacation. But these factors have also
contributed to the area's party-hard reputation. Visiting in winter will
ensure you see this tourist town in its best — and most tranquil —
light. Read More»
