Cool Cancun App for iPod & iPad

In cheesy, overbuilt Cancun, wouldn’t it be nice to have a filtered guide to the best beaches, the best eats, and the best bars not filled with drunk 18-year-olds? Download the Cool Cancun app from the iTunes Apps store—for the moment on sale for 99 cents—and you’ll be immediately in the know.

I like to give a shout-out when one of our regular contributors to Luxury Latin America has something else in the works worth mentioning. This is something I can highly recommend. Zora O’Neill writes the Rough Guide to the Yucatan and Cancun & Cozumel Directions. Over the years she has developed a keen sense of what’s worthwhile and where the bargains are.

The app gives opinionated and spot-on reviews of a few paragraphs each in several categories, which you can search by name, location, or price. There are Basics (transportation, hotels, beach tips), restaurants, clubs, shopping, and more. That includes one addition you won’t get from the likes of Time Out: “Kid-friendly.”

Admit it, if you’re spending every day at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun, after a while aren’t you itching to get out and eat some real Mexican food, maybe some tacos pastor at a lively stand that’s open past midnight? Download Cool Cancun and Isla Mujeres and you’ll be chowing down and hitting the cool clubs like a local expat, frequenting the great places and ignoring the worst tourist traps. If you’re heading that way, it’s a no-brainer.

Haven’t made plans yet? See our reviews of the best hotels in Cancun and Isla Mujeres.

    This is great! I can’t believe this is 99 cents. Definitely taking this along on my next trip there.

    Ahhhhh the memories of Cancun. Had so much fun there during a Spring Break about 15 years ago. I know the area continues to grow, but it was pretty crowded and crazy back then.

    I need to get back and take the family someday. I really think they would all enjoy staying there.

    You usually have to do it through your own iTunes dashboard, even if you click on a link on a webpage. Apple doesn’t make it easy. (It’s even worse if you try to find a book to read on your iPad—you have to go through an app to get it.)

    I am wondering what’s the best canvas carrying case cover for iPad available for the market? So far I have found a good stock at macmall and the local apple store

    Just about all of what you say happens to be supprisingly precise and it makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. Your article truly did turn the light on for me as far as this particular topic goes. Nevertheless there is actually just one factor I am not really too cozy with so while I try to reconcile that with the central idea of your point, allow me see what all the rest of your visitors have to point out.Well done.
