Most universities give at least one week of vacation. Because of this, comes this period full of partying and lots of alcohol in different paradises. From the end of World War II until 1980, Florida was the first option for spring breakers. This phenomenon continued, however, the destinations have been changing.
The tourism opening of many Mexican destinations that were once a simple secret are now destinations where the wildest parties are experienced as if there were no tomorrow. Spring break in Mexico is increasing and it’s making Mexican destinations must-visit places for every party people in the whole wide world!
“In the United States, spring break typically falls in March or early April. However, actual dates may vary based on the academic calendars of different universities or schools. We suggest checking your respective academic calendar for exact dates”. Check out current dates here!
Among the places that stand out are the wonderful Caribbean beaches, for their crystal clear waters, their prices, and their temperature. Most Mexican beaches are a perfect spring break destination since it is pretty economical to spend some unique vacations in these paradisiac destinations.
Moreover, Mexico is a country that always shares with the world magnificent beaches where you can eat gastronomic masterpieces as well as learn from the culture of the place you visit. But in this case, springbreakers can simply live the moment of their lives while watching the impressive landscapes that Mexican beaches offer. Let’s start with our list of top places to experience spring break in Mexico!
The truth is that Cancun can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Of course, from the end of May until October, hurricanes are very present there. However, if you want to enjoy spring breakers and have some fun and partying, you should go at Holy Week time (which varies every year). The stunning color of the ocean, the different delicious drinks, and the whole environment are the main reasons why springbreakers choose this little paradise on earth!
Cancun offers a variety of activities where youngsters can have incredible adventures and have the time of their lives. However, many of us simply want to go to relax without so many teenagers. This is why, after Holy Week, you can go and enjoy Cancun at your leisure without any problem.
Where to spend the Spring Break in Cancun: Oasis Cancun
Grand Oasis Cancun is very famous for spring breakers. Also, Hard Rock Hotel is a pretty great option. Mamitas Beach Club in Playa del Carmen is a beach club by excellence where thousands of spring breakers come.
For the spring break experience, the best is to stay at an all-inclusive resort or hotel. Why? Because the drinks and activities in most of all the hotels will be included. Therefore, you can save money from your wallet. However, you have to consider the dates for traveling, availability, and services of the hotel you have chosen among other aspects to take into account.
Also, the hotel prices, flights, and meals are not the same. For instance, Cancun and Los Cabos are much more expensive than Huatulco and Acapulco. Hence, always update your research in terms of hotel and flight prices. Skyscanner is a great app for researching anything you want for your next trip.
Not every all-inclusive hotels and resorts include the same thing. For more info, click on the image below!
Many springbreakers do not have access to different hotels due to the lack of control they sometimes have. However, many hotels have theme parties or special events for these out-of-control moments. For instance, The Hard Rock Hotel, Iberostar, and Grand Park Royal Cancun organize lots of parties exclusive for spring breakers. Still, you can enter these parties at an additional cost.
In times of high demand, it is always best to buy and book well in advance. Not only for spring break but also, for other important seasons such as Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Most of these trips can be expensive due to the prices of the alcohol and the entrance to bars, nightclubs, and exclusive parties. You should always be prepared to check out your travel budget to avoid any inconveniences. Also, do not forget to bring your ID card. Check out the mobile app Mint to have some financial order in your trips.
This one is for every beach where spring breakers may go. Most of the all-inclusive hotels tend to have a specific time of partying and serving all the alcohol you want. Get on time and start ordering the drinks you may have. Once the party continues, more people will be at the bar zone.
If you have the opportunity to buy your tickets to the nightclubs months or hours in advance, do it. At night, all the nightclubs such as Coco Bongo, La Vaquita, and The City will be full of people. Try to buy your entrances in advance or at least a few hours earlier.
As strange as it may seem, there is no Uber or other car-hauling service in Cancun. Due to problems with taxi drivers, Uber, and other car-hauling services cannot operate in the hotel zone and at the airport. That said, be aware that taxi drivers will charge you more if they know you are a foreigner or simply not a native of Quintana Roo.
Specifically, the best to get around Cancun will always be by renting a car. In areas such as Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Bacalar, and Holbox among other places, you can get around by bicycle. Car rental price on kayak:
Taxi app price:
Finally, if you want to travel and visit islands such as Isla Mujeres, Holbox, and Cozumel, you need to move to another airport like the Chetumal one, and travel to those places by boat or ferry. Do not hesitate to ask locals and people from tourist services how to get exactly there 🙂
Please, if you have a friend or relative who is going to join spring breakers, make them bear in mind that the preservation of nature is pretty important for continuing to enjoy these parties. Please do not throw the trash into the ocean or hurt any of the animals that you may see in Cancun and the following beaches and their surroundings. Thank you, let’s continue!

Where to stay in the Spring Break in Puerto Vallarta: Hilton Riviera Vallarta All-Inclusive
Tripadvisor’s hotel reviews:
The high season arrives along with winter from mid-December to February. This season is the coolest, not to say coldest. Nevertheless, if you want to be more relaxed, think twice if you want to come this season, you might meet a lot of people.
You can say that the demanded season extends into spring due to spring break, which runs from March to June. If you want to get a great tan and enjoy the sun, it is best to come during the spring break season. *In all the places we are going to mention in this post, this little tip applies as well as this one*
Uber and Indriver are available in Puerto Vallarta. In addition, there are inexpensive buses, taxis, car rentals, and bicycles. If you want to go to the airport, you can ask for a taxi from the hotel where you are staying (recommended). Bicycle rental price on Viator:
It wouldn’t be a list of spring break in Mexico if Cabo wasn’t here. What else can we say about Cabo? Perfect weather, delicious gastronomy, and the wildest parties in the greatest hotels and nightclubs in Mexico!
What makes Cabo unique and authentic it’s that apart from spring breakers, you may meet Hollywood celebrities while you party and have some fun. Everybody likes Cabo and it is no wonder, since its beaches on the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, make the views unparalleled.
In addition, after a day of partying, you can take a ride during whale season to admire these beautiful animals. Do you see it? Cabo is perfect for spring break and relaxing vacations.
A good hotel to live the Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas: Hotel Riu Palace
If you want to experience the great foam party or any other themed party at this great hotel, you have to google “White Party Riu” or “Riu Party”. There, you will find information about upcoming parties, calendars, schedules, themes, prices (covers), etc. Honestly, I don’t know if you can access these parties if you are staying at another hotel, however, you will find all the information and a call-center option on the pages I mentioned above.
If you want to experience a different kind of spring break season and you are tired of EDM and reggaeton music, this rock club in Cabo is waiting for you. By the way, this place was founded by ex-Van Halen member, Sammy Hagar. Isn’t that cool? Click on the image to see the complete information:
In Cabo San Lucas there is Uber service, taxis, car rentals, and buses, among others. The not-so-good part is that taxis can be excessively expensive as in Cancun. Bus station prices departing from Los Cabos airport:
Even so, the transportation service is very varied in this place.
Have you ever watched that Elvis movie Fun in Acapulco? If you haven’t, this is a good moment to watch it and understand the importance of Acapulco in Mexican culture and Hollywood. Famous superstars such as Sylvester Stallone, Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne, Cary Grant, and many Mexican golden age actors were enchanted by the always precious Acapulco.
In fact, Stallone opened a franchise of the famous Planet Hollywood restaurant chain in Acapulco in 1991. In addition, the Hard Rock Cafe chain had several franchises in Acapulco and Mexico in general since 1989.
Sadly, nowadays, the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Acapulco and most of the Hard Rock Cafe franchises (there are only two Hard Rock Cafes in Mexico, one in Cancun and one in Los Cabos) are completely closed.
Saying this, you can imagine how is the party environment in this place. Recently, spring breakers have been visiting Acapulco since Cancun stole Acapulco’s fame as the most visited and famous beach in Mexico a long time ago.
However, Acapulco is attracting thousands of spring breakers and tourists from all over the world every day. Therefore, if you are a music and nightclub lover and also you adore partying and celebrating like a superstar, Acapulco is a destination you have to visit at least once in a lifetime. Perfect to experience spring break in Mexico!
Where to book for the Spring Break in Acapulco: Mayan Palace at Vidanta Acapulco
Tripadvisor’s hotel reviews:
This is a hotel that is not all-inclusive, however, it is the best option to live a unique vacation in a wonderful complex surrounded by the nature of Acapulco. Even spring breakers will find this hotel farther away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds and it will be an even more exclusive and private experience.
The only issue with this hotel is that is not as centric as the other ones we mentioned above. But the good news is that it’s close to the airport and the diamond zone of Acapulco. Therefore, there are many taxi services nearby.
As well as Cancun is mostly restricted to the Uber service and there are no other car-hauling services in Acapulco. So, if you want to move to another place in Acapulco from this hotel, the best is to rent a car or to take a taxi (Most taxis already have an established rate). Click on the map to see the accurate location of the Mayan Palace Hotel.
Definitely, one of the beaches with the biggest waves in Mexico. Puerto Escondido is widely known for its incredible waves where thousands of professional surfers come to show their best tricks in the water. What’s more, Puerto Escondido is a place that is also characterized by its nightlife and parties. In addition, it is a place that is still a mystery to non-surfing tourists and spring breakers.
There are many bars where you can enjoy excellent international and Mexican drinks and sing at the top of your lungs in the hundreds of karaoke bars in the area. Sun, sand, and sea are what you need, and why not, a little partying and dancing wouldn’t go amiss on your spring break vacation in Mexico.
