Hotel Oasis Cancun
Destination Information
Special vacation packages to Cancun at a special price with oasis hotels is one of the reasons to go to Cancun in an all inclusive package
Cancun attracts more visitors than any other region in Mexico. More than three million people visit annually for the fantastic climate and amenities.
In the 1960s, the Mexican government saw the potential for the mother of all resort regions on the white-sand beaches off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Now Cancun is synonymous with Spring Break, but it is much more than a party town. The main beach at Cancun is really a barrier island shaped like a number 7. Running down the east side of this magnificent beach are shops, restaurants, malls, clubs, and huge Maya-inspired hotels.
For a quieter holiday, try the Mexican Riviera, which extends south of Cancun to more traditional, historical, and natural areas like Isla Mujeres, the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and the island of Cozumel.
Just about every kind of water sport is available in Cancun - parasailing, water skiing, scuba diving and snorkeling. Or make like Ernest Hemingway and go sport fishing in the outer Caribbean for sailfish, marlin, dorado, wahoo, grouper and blue fin tuna.
The average temperature in Cancun is 80 fahrenheit with more than 240 days of sunshine. Rain is rare, with late August through November being the rainy season.
Getting Around Cancun
In Cancun it is easy to walk, and if you dont want to hire a car, you could get around town by taxi. Prices are set by zone, but be warned that locals pay about half of what tourists pay and prices for guests at more expensive hotels are approximately double those for guests of budget hotels. Taxis can be rented for $20 per hour for travel around the city and hotel zone.
Bus travel is popular within Cancun. Ruta 1 and 2 city buses travel frequently from the mainland to the beaches along Avenida Tulum (the main street) and all the way to Punta Nizuc at the far end of the hotel zone on Isla Cancun. Ruta 8 buses go to Puerto Juarez/Punta Sam for ferries to Isla Mujeres. They stop on the east side of Avenida Tulum. City buses operate between 6am and 1am daily. Beware of private buses along the same route; they charge more than the public ones - about 12 pesos (80 cents). An alternative is to rent a moped from about $30 for a day. Dont forget your crash helmet.
US dollars are accepted everywhere in the main hotel zone of Cancun, but exchange rates vary widely. Also, as you venture further into Mexico, using dollars becomes more difficult. Exchange your currency for local tender and pay for everything in pesos.
In Cancun you will find many familiar shops, restaurants, and services, and you do not need to be unusually concerned about contracting tropical illnesses. However, outside Cancun, be careful with food and water. Read up on avoiding Montezumas Revenge.
Be prepared to haggle, but do some price comparison first. Unless you are certain that the item is exclusive to a particular vendor, shop around and find the vendor with the best initial quote, and then haggle.
Taxis in Cancun
Cancun downtown taxi prices vary, but the average fair is 25 pesos, but they will try to charge tourist more(around 40 pesos). Taxis from downtown Cancun to the hotel zone are a minimum of 150 pesos. You can get a taxi cab anywhere in Cancun, the cost is variable depending on the zone, fares to or from the hotel zone are the most expensive, we suggest you to arrange the price with the driver first. In most of the hotels you can find at the lobby area or by the bell boy counter a sign with the current prices for local taxis. The picture on the right shows the average size of the taxis, all of them are white and green stripped, it must have a number too. Capacity: up to 4 people without luggage or 3 with luggage. Local taxis are not allowed to transport passengers from the airport, they can take you over there for your departure only. To go to your hotel from the airport you can use any transportation line located on the two terminals but be aware with the unauthorized persons working at the airport, they are commonly called pirates and you could end paying much more than the regular rate. We suggest to pre-book your airport transportation service , it is more convenient, safe and easy.
To get a transportation from the airport to your hotel you must use an authorized transportation line
Cancun Buses
Cost $12 pesos (NO American coins) per person / 1 way. You get a ticket, but, it is for their control. There are 4 buses R-1, R-2, R-15 & R 27. If you are traveling within the hotel zone then it really does not matter what bus you take (Wet and Wild is the exception. It is in the hotel zone but only half the buses go there so ask before you get on). R-2 & R-15 go to Wal-mart & Mercado 28. R-1 you ask! Well, it now goes almost everywhere. You have to read the front right window of the bus as it lists where it ends up. R-1`s will go to Puerto Juarez, Wal-mart, Plaza 2000, Mercado 23, the bus station & places I have never been. The R 27 turns left on Tulum Ave & goes to Plaza Las Americas (the locals mall).
Cancun Bus Tips
a) Last man standing does not win anything. It means you will be flying soon. If you are the last person to pay the driver then before you can think about where you want to sit he will be going 78 miles per hour.
b) Telling the bus driver where to get off is a good start but not always will it work. Most do not speak English well enough to understand you. Have an idea of where you are going before you get on. Look for landmarks.
c) They will not stop to let you off unless you ask them to. Dont assume they stop at all the stops.
d) To flag a bus down you need to wave one of your body parts.
e) Cheapest tour in Cancun so enjoy it.
f) Get on in the front and off from the back door whenever possible.
g) Dont bring drinks on the bus as they will most likely end up on someone else.
h) When getting off NO ONE moves for you so if the bus is packed, put your head down and push.
