What are some great spring break destinations?

When is "spring break" season generally from in the major Mexico destinations?

• A group of friends would like to go to vacation sometime in March and were wondering if that was spring break season. We are all in our late 20's and do not want to be around a bunch of wild and obnoxious college spring breakers. We like to party but not in their style if you know what I mean. Some of the top places we are considering are Cabo, Acapulco, Cancun, and Mazatlan. Any suggestions and advice is appreciated.

• Answer:

  In Acapulco its really the whole month of March. The third week is the Americans and is one of the top tourist dollar weeks of the year. The beach has live bands and they go all out. Traffic on the Costera is pretty bad. Its not too awful for this 41 year old man though. I do avoid the costera traffic ! As far as the beach the kids really stay on the beach that that is in front of thier Hotel. To be honest if you walk the whole beach line you will only see 3 or 4 hotels with kids parting in front. Its really not too bad. Some small groups grab drinks and take a stroll around the beach but its fine. When you look around the beach you will see small hord's of kids in front of 3 or 4 hotels so I just avoid that section. Not hard as the bay and beaches are pretty big. When I want to see some partying and music I stroll up to the small stretch that has the stage and kick back under a palm tree and enjoy. They really are pretty tame. Cancun is INSANE. I call it Gringoville as there are always too many Americans and for spring break - Not Me ! From what you wrote - Cancun is NOT for you and I think youll enjoy Acapulco. Link over to me and I will help any way I can. Lots of other things to do that only people like me know about. 30 mins north is Pie de la Cuesta. Deserted huge beach that has some 20 foot waves. Not a sole to be seen and the little family hotels are paradise and cheap. Google Pie de la Cuesta. You tube also has some stuff. I know many others !
