Hotel restaurants:If you are staying at an all-inclusive hotel in Cancun's hotel zone, it is 100% sure that you will be invited to their Christmas dinner. Christmas is one when Cancun pushes the boat out, so expect huge dinners, light shows, and plenty of decorations. If you are not staying at these hotels, don't worry! On these dates, the restaurants of many important resorts open their doors to the general public to participate in these exquisite events.
Imagine setting sail on a boat during the first days of the year, letting go of the pressures of the old year, and breathing the breeze of the future. It sounds very poetic, but it is a real experience that you can experience in Cancun.
Rent a private boat and organize a party on board. If you prefer calm, arrange a romantic date or a yoga class to start the year full of positive energy. Boat companies have staff that help you plan your event on board, so you don't have to worry about anything. But, if you prefer to take care of everything, just choose your favorite boat and contact a consultant.
