Cancun: the Jewel in the Crown

Cancun Beach Scenery, Mexico Travel and Tourism

During my holiday in Cancun I become conscious of why it has developed into the foremost tourist resort in Mexico. I arrived in Cancun anticipating a small fishing village and stumble upon a tranquil, serene tourist center housing some of the most stunning beaches I had ever perceived in my travels.

Honeymoon on Cancun Beach, Mexico Travel Guide

My first day in Cancun was spent in a small rented boat and I proceeded to pilot the craft through the Nichupté and Bojórquez lagoons to a tapered island where I observed the crystal clear water and did a bit of enjoyable scuba diving. Off in the distance I could make out the various travelers sailing and water-skiing.

I could scarcely believe my eyes during my initial night in Cancun as the nightlife was bustling within each and every one of the million-dollar discotheques which eloquently lined the Hotel Zone. As I wander from nightclub to nightclub, I could appreciate why Cancun bragged of its ’Big Name’ entertainers, many of which competed favorably with those found in America. I made my rounds to the Hard Rock Café and then on to DadyO’s and ended up in many of the lesser known bars.

Now to discuss my favorite part of any holiday I would like to momentarily mention the fine food. Cancun sports a expansive selection of dining opportunity. With over 200 restaurants the dining possibilities are infinite. Regardless of what cooking tends to tickle your palette you are certain to find it here.

I had to appraise the cuisine at the Blue Bayou. The Blue Bayou is the solitary Creole Cajun restaurant to exist in Cancun. I fervently feasted upon the boiled crawfish, potatoes, onions and corn cautiously seasoned with pieces of lemon and other spices commonly referred to as “crawfish boil”. My dinner was cautiously dumped upon a large, newspaper draped table and covered in spice blends. I marveled at the culinary talents of the Blue Bayou’s chief as I indulged in the seafood delight served with Corn Maque Choux. The fare was well seasoned, but I might mention not overly spicy. I simply could not have come across any taster meal if I had gone directly to Louisiana itself. The food was simply scrumptious, I can not wait until my next holiday in Cancun.
