The Best Mexican Resorts To Visit During Spring Break

Not everyone that travels to Mexico during Spring Break is looking for a tequila-induced drunk-fest that they won’t remember the next day. Here are eight types of Mexican resort for eight different types of Spring Breaker, to help you find the perfect spot for your vacation.

1. For the escapist

Independent Hotel, Bed and Breakfast, Hotel, Villa

Seeking solitude or some one-on-one romance with your beloved? Twenty minutes outside of the hustle and bustle of Acapulo and with its suite spread throughout the hillside property, Banyan Tree Acapulco is just the place to cloister yourself away from it all. Each private villa has its own sunning deck and infinity pool so you don’t even have to risk chatty fellow sunbathers. It also offers spa treatments galore and delicious Thai food at the hotel’s restaurant Saffron.

2. For the party animal

Hotel

The Grand Oasis Cancun is part of a two-hotel complex with 1,800 rooms. The hotel is known for its massive guest count and party atmosphere during Spring Break. There are 14 bars and 18 restaurants on the premises, which tend to be crowded during this period. But if a wild, ongoing party is what you want, you can’t get better than the Grand Oasis’ open-air pool and its location slap bang in the middle of the hotel zone and the area’s bars and clubs.

3. For the rock star

Hard Rock Hotel Cancun is another ongoing party during Spring Break, this time with music 24/7 and free drinks around the clock. There’s live entertainment, five international restaurants and two swim-up bars that are loads of fun for the music-loving Spring Breaker. Some rooms have liquor dispensers so you don’t even have to stop drinking once the hotel’s seven bars close down for the night. The Hard Rock has a prime location in the hotel zone and it’s an easy walk to lots of bars, restaurants and shopping.
