RE: What's the game plan for Cancun?
I’ve been to Merida before and agree that it isn’t a place with an abundance of hot women walking around but there is a fair amount in the 6 range, which is what I usually go for anyway. I hooked up with a girl last night who I met here three years ago, so at least I’m getting laid here. The shitty weather has followed me to Merida, I just got soaked walking to a coffee shop.
I’ll likely head back to Playa or Tulum for the weekend although everything I read about Tulum makes me not want to go. It seems like a very international crowd and full of Eat, Pray and Love vegan hippy weirdos. I may end up over in Cozumel, I tend to get along better with scuba divers.
God damned them all, I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, we'd fire no guns-shed no tears, now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett's privateers!

RE: What's the game plan for Cancun?
I spent the summer of 2015 in Tulum and can agree that when I think Scotian.....I don't think Tulum in the same sentence. All the Tinder matches I get from Tulum are yoga/vegan/eat/pray/love types.
I personally like a 6/7 mestizo girl that is displaying some traditional values....I'm older so that is my target market. Not much for me in Playa or Tulum. Mexico City, Merida, Puebla, Aguascalientes, those are the places that I personally find traction.
I do have an 18 year old in Playa that has the hots for me...but she is a budding slut, chubby, and I'm losing interest.
BTW, I'm going to check this hotel in Playa out for a few days, sometime in the next month:

RE: What's the game plan for Cancun?
^I’m staying two blocks from there, it’s really nice and pretty busy throughout the day and early evening. I’m going to walk around paseo de Montejo tomorrow and have lunch there, Merida is really nice in the tourist areas with the colonial architecture and clean streets, the people are really chill too, I haven’t seen any beggars or sketchy street people, which is nice. It’s a bit onnthe boring side though, I could see it as being a great place for retirees.

Thank you for sharing info about the parties in Tulum.
Where would you recommend staying in Tulum if the purpose was to go to all those night parties, especially around New Years ?
Would it hurt the chances of pulling from clubs if I stayed in Tulum city centre as opposed to a hotel at the beach? All those clubs seem to be around the beach where it seems much harder to find a hotel and way more expensive.
As you realised the city is really split in two parts. Town center which is around the main strip (the street that goes from Cancun to chetumal) and the beach area. Might seem close to get between the two areas but its probably 45mins-1 hour walking so not an option late at night. Can be done with a bike during the day which I highly recommend as is good exercise and you can check different beaches to see which one you like the most.
If possible I would just stay around the beach area and take a cab (or bicycle) back to the city center if needed.
If you decide to stay in the center you will have to do the other way around obviously, cab its like $7 from the center to PPP if I remember correctly.
You also have a few bars in the city center main strip, one is called Batley which is really popular. Dont remember talent was anything special though but might be good for a pre-party drink.
If you need a good cheap hotel to stay I can recommend you one on PM, its actually a friend of mine not sure if they are full for NYE though as its high season.

RE: What's the game plan for Cancun?
You really should not even have one drink if you are going to drive. The concept of 'legal limit' does not apply here. If you have been drinking at all and they pull you over then you are going to jail. Also, they occasionally have license roadblocks but not that often. Technically you are supposed to have a license for a motorcycle here and no one does so they were starting to enforce that.
There are a shit-ton of cops and Marines and national police all over the place as a part of the nationwide security crackdown since the election of AMLO.
So, if you are going to drink the use Taxis. But if you are going to spend much time in the Yucatan, having a car just changes the entire game. My friend took a girl he met on a long trip in his truck, down to Belize and back and he really sealed the deal and now is in a LTR with her.

Cheers for data on having a car and car rentals in the area which you shared in Merida thread. I wanted to ask how strict the traffic enforcement there.
Is it possible to drive around, especially between towns if you had a drink the same night ?
Would they stop you and drag you to laboratory to test your blood and your pee to see if you’ve been partying and taking anything the past week? That happens in some places these days and I don’t know Mexico well, so I just assume that they would want to extract as much money as they can from a white tourist.

Cool, I'll be staying nearby (though not in this hotel). If they have a bar/lounge open to non-guests, i'll definitely check it out.
BTW, I stayed in this hotel. It was actually quite dead and had zero scene at the pool during the day and then had a fucking gay EDM party on the rooftop on one night. I went up there and walked around and was wondering......where are the fucking girls, then realized it was a gay party and quickly left.
However, the rooms are quite insane and would be an awesome place to pull a girl to so I'm probably going to stay there again.
I found a great upscale restaurant/bar in Playa to post up at and hang while the mariachi and norteño bands come in and out and all the evening and play for the customers. You could almost pull off some suit game at this place which surprised me as I had not found any places like this in Playa before. I ended up number closing on a girl there and I'm supposed to meet up with her when I get back from diving in Cozumel.
The bar is right off avenida quinta (the main drag) but is quite hard to find and is really only patronized by upscale mexicans that know about it. All the people I met there lived in Playa or were with someone that lived in Playa.
The place is called La No. 20 Cantina: https://goo.gl/maps/GsdbGw3ioWR2

Just say south of the Federal and on the west side of the Colosio and is very safe. Best place to stay for me is Playacar but its expensive.
Walked at night all the time in the town never had any issue, however taxis are very cheap.
Don't go to the colonias (same as colombian barrios) unless you really have any business there. Q roo has been a very safe place historically however a few years ago two different cartels entered the region and there has been a wave of violence. Usually shit happens away from the tourist area but no guarantee on that (see the BPM incident last year).
For nightlife I recommended a number of places a few posts earlier.
