I can’t wait to go to Cancun, specially after reading this. I spent New Year’s in Acapulco. I can tell you the bay of Acapulco is the most unbelievable experience of my life on New Years. All the hotel and even the navy shoot off the best fireworks that illuminate the bay and reflect off the water. The navy base is behind the mountain range here and they fire over the mountains . The hotels join in and they are just INCREDIBLE. Maybe 15 minutes of complete noise and people and beauty. After the show everybody just parties on the Costera and beach.
Trust me un forgettable!
