Where can I go In Mexico for a calm comfortable weeklong vacation on the beach without breaking the bank?

Wherever you go, I would choose a Riu all-inclusive resort. I stayed in the Riu Tequila last Easter (in Playa Del Carmen, Yucatan Peninsula), and it was AMAZING! The beaches of the Mayan Riviera I would say are second to none in Mexico. We stayed for 7 days, and this was a great amount of time to spend relaxing on the beach, by the pool, and going on a great tour. We went on a daytrip to the Coba ruins, one of the many Mayan ruins on the peninsula. We got to visit a small Mayan village, climb the ruins, and even swim in a Senote (underground cave). That was by far the best trip I have been on in my life!
We paid $1000 per person (without airfare) for the week at the resort, so it is not overly expensive at all.
If you are planning a trip to Mexico, I urge you to check out the Yucatan peninsula, and Playa del Carmen (about 1 hour south of Cancun).

Manzanillo (about 1 hour s. of Puerto Vallarta) it`s calm and no lousy tourists...the hotel i stayed at was Carmina Palace is priced so,so but you`ll love it! promise!

Riviera Maya. South of Cancun. Try going during the "off" seasons. July - October. It picks back up during the holidays. January is a good time too then it picks up again for spring. But if you go during the "off" seasons you can get good deals in Cancun too.

Tulum in the Yucatan peninsula it is close to cancun but here you get raw beauty at its best...calm,blue crystal clear waters with white sandy beaches...and on the back....the beautiful pyramids...few people take notice of this place...it is absolutely enchanting...

I'd go to Puerto Vallarta. West side of the country, a little bit older crowd, not all the kids puking on themselves in the lobby. Older side of the country, more european attitude and the people are great. Don't waste you're time on Cancun, leave that to the little kids

Miriam S

Ensenada in Baja is perfect

Jim M

CUBA!!!!!!

How about Puerto Vallarata.

childofevil2003

Go to Baja California. Many people try to go to Acapulco, Puerto Ballarta and Cancun because these places are Americanized so you don't need to speak Spanish too much. I think Baja since it is so close to Tijuana many people learn and speak English enough for you to have fun. Women are beautyful and the Scenery is also great. The beach is clean and water clear. I think you will have more fun and it won't be as expensive plus you will see the old towns and the people tend to be even nicer at small towns.

I hope you speak more spanish because more likely you will need it.

have fun!!
