Money-Saving Tips for Cancun
- Stay in the hotel zone for beaches, downtown for authentic food at half the price
- Visit Chichen Itza as a day trip — leave early to beat tour bus crowds
- Snorkel at Isla Mujeres (30-min ferry) for clearer water and fewer people than the hotel zone
- Cenotes are a must: Ik Kil and Suytun are the most photogenic
- Visit during shoulder season (December to April) for the best balance of weather and prices
