My Instagram friend, Gaspar Michel (known as cancunvacationsecrets on Instagram) kindly wrote me a blog post about what to do when travelers are staying at an all-inclusive resort but want to do something fun and/or adventurous in the Cancun or Riviera Maya areas of Mexico.  Since he currently resides in Tulum and has been posting for some time about what to do and how to save money while on vacation in this part of Mexico, I thought a local would be the best source of info about how to have even more fun while vacationing at an all-inclusive property.  So, please read on and find out what he thought would be helpful…

I keep seeing more and more YouTube and Instagram videos out about the “Top 7-10 Best Of”, typically listing resorts in the Cancun and Riviera Maya areas of Mexico.  I guess that’s not surprising to see those in my feed given most of my social media searches and views are about those very items, but after viewing some of these posts I come away with thinking they’ve got to be just random picks with no validity to them.  The NYX Hotel Cancun a five-star?  Please.
