Had a great time in Cancun. There were some nice reefs right off the hotel beach that I could snorkel on every day. Nothing better than an all-inclusive. The ONLY problem I had on the trip were these obnoxious high school kids from Canada. We get to the hotel around 9PM, walk into the lobby, and start hearing this horrible rendition of O! Canada. Look over to the lobby bar, and we see this hoard of people wearing outlandish costumes and using Canadian flags as capes. Looked again, and realized it was a bunch of kids (literally). Asked the woman at the desk, and it seems there were 300 kids from some high school in Canada celebrating their graduation staying at our hotel. These kids claimed to be 18 (legal drinking age in Mexico), but I heard several of them say they were only 16 and 17. They'd stay up until 3am or later screaming and yelling down the halls. The pool area was nice until around Noon, when they'd come crawling out of their rooms and take over the swim-up bar. I never had a problem getting a drink, but you'd go to a bar and hear some kid say "8 Kamakazi's, 5 Scooby Doo's, 4 $ex On The Beach, and 3 Margaritas" This one kid would drink half of them before turning around and handing the rest to his underage friends. They would then disappear around 7pm (when the pool closed), then showed up again at the lobby bar around 9 or 10 to start all over again. I actually saw one woman who claimed to be a chaperone admonishing a couple of kids for making noise down one of the hallways, but that was the only one I saw. I felt sorry for the families that had young kids at the hotel, because all you heard coming out of their mouths was the F-Bomb every other word. No one dared confront them, since you don't know what would happen with 10 or 15 wasted kids retaliating. Complaining to the hotel was useless. They'd just smile, apologize, and say they will speak to the individuals causing the problems. The hotel complex was huge, and we ended up going over to one of the other hotels we had access to. It was more family oriented, and there weren't as many teens over there drinking. Just be aware if you go down to Mexico resorts like Cancun, you may run into issues like this. We've been down there four times now, and this was the first time we came across this during the summer. This is why I'd NEVER go to Cancun during Spring Break.
