    I know where it is, it's in Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula

    The Caribbean is a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea

    There's no end to 'creative' marketing in the travel industry, I guess

    The Caribbean is an ocean, that does indeed have a number of islands.

    When I lived in Colombia in the mid-1990s its northern coast was referred to as its Caribbean coast, so this is hardly something that the travel industry has done.

    Totally agree, Cancun is in the Caribbean. There are only five oceans in the world and Caribbean is not one of them !!! It is a SEA.

    I've stayed in Dom rep in February and April I stayed in Puerto platta complex as I wanted the freedom between beach, swimming pool, not far from ocean world and still be able to wonder a bit on trip and some shops but if u went further down the island it seems to be hotel only not much Around.

    Last time we went was 2011 - that was April it was hot gd tan no real rain.

    I've stayed previously in cancun I enjoyed but I found it to be nightlife based out in clubs and there are parts of season when American teenagers pour in as drinking restrictions are 18 rather than 25. I found cancun expensive x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    hi there, under £850 pp, 7 nights all inclusive ideally st lucia, but will consider st kitts, antigua, bahamas, tobago, barbados and cancun/dom rep if nothing else...between mid feb to 1st june.

    is there any difference in standards between the smaller islands and the larger resorts like cancun?
