Mexico - Caribbean Coast or Pacific Coast

[Morny]

Looking to book up for one of them all-inclusive efforts to Mexico (hence accusations of scratterness) and wondering if theres any difference between the two?

Assumed Caribbean Coast was the only way Playa Del Carmen, Playacar etc.....

But there's some better deals at Vallarta, but if the weather/beach/area is shit then rather fork out a smidge more.

Its a family holiday BTW, not really going to be pubbing and clubbing, so what an area's like for that don't really matter.

Pacific is just as good and cheaper.

We were going to go there this year, but plans have changed.

Caribbean Coast.

Cos it's the only place I have been once at RIU PLAYACAR and the other was RIU CANCUN. Think I preferred PLAYACAR to be honest. Love Mexico me. I'm getting married there next year

Been to both and prefer Caribbean side as more local sites to take in especially independently

That's in Playacar isn't it? Pretty sure its next to the one we stopped at (Rui Palace Mexico) - aye, the place is lovely if you want something quiet, with the odd day trip.

Vallarta mate, that’s where it’s at.

Pacific side. More chance of seeing hammerhead sharks and whales.

Been to both. Both as good as eachothee tbh. Beaches better in carribean and water is warmer and calmer. Hotels seem a bit more luxurious on the pacific side. For length of flight and price i'd recommend just going to carribean side.

Do Cozumel then fly over.

I found the pacific side to be a little cheaper, although I'd agree about the extra hours on the plane.

Only done carribean side and enjoyed it but if I go back definitely heading for Pacific. Clientele a bit classier

Ooooh look at me I’ve moved away from The Lane and now I’m going going to Mexico.

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic

Would not be difficult.....Epster.

Booked up for the Sensimar Seaside Suites & Spa this summer and will be first time to Mexico. Gets more than decent reviews so looking forward to it

When you going because we were specifically advised to avoid spring break time as if you're with a family its probably not what you want

Isn’t the Pacific side controlled by the cartels? Would not be going
