It's been over 16 years since I've been on college spring break to Cancun, but I would tend to agree with Irieonline and RonMon. Cancun is much better suited for the spring break junket thing. With it's main boulevard lined with all-inclusives and American bars and restaurants, it's hard for the kids to wander off and get in trouble. Once you arrive at the hotel, they herd you like cattle to an area where you sign-up for daytime activities (i.e. tours) and nighttime parties at the various clubs. Basically, every minute of your stay is booked with some type of organized (and chaperoned) event. Aside from the fact that every club played crappy American dance music, I hated being told where to go. Really, the only time I enjoyed was hanging out by the pool or beach (which, BTW, can't hold a candle to Negril's).

Sorry, I digress, but yeah the Cancun environment is well suited for college kids who want to pay a cheap price to party a lot and not care about any culture. I did not like the vibe, at all.
