Cancun is the most popular place to visit in Mexico, attracting more than 3 million tourists each year.

The calmest months tend to be May through November and if you visit during the fall you can expect nearby empty beaches, great weather, and good deals on hotels and airfare. Summer temperatures can range from 80 to 90 degrees and you’ll probably want to choose a resort with a pool. One downside to visiting during the summer is that sea lice, or jellyfish larvae, are prevalent in the sea around Cancun during this time. Although they are not really harmful, they can cause annoying and embarrassing skin reactions.
