Cuba VS. Cancun

A few friends and I are planning a trip down south next winter. Call us what you want be we're going for the typical spring break party deal, no we aren't jockotrons we just think it would be dope. So the dilemma is that we originally wanted to hit up Cancun, then a bunch of girls we know told us they're going to Cuba. Going with these chicas isn't a big deal for me (it sort of is for a few friends), the thing is Cuba could save us each over 500$ probably and we'd get a nicer hotel/resort. However, it seems like Cuba is hype and all, but Cancun is really next level. Anyways, hit me up with some opinions/experiences to help out with the decision. Thanks NS.

SPARKNOTES: Going south next winter around spring break, Cuba or Cancun? Go!

P.S. Is the drinking age in these resort areas (hotels and bars) 18+ or 21+? I know a lot of Americans go there so they could boost the legal age.

dont worry about legal age i was 16 and had the ''18+ wristband'' (that was in cuba)

i also went in cancun for 1 day (i was on a cruise) and the beah is soooo beautiful, i had plenty of fun on both places

it all depends on which you have a better deal

Cuba was rad. We were there in November like, 5 years ago. I was only 15 but i still loved every minute of it. If you go to Veradero, which is like the Cancun of Cuba, its a huge party town, not to mention that Cuba is a beautiful country. Havana is probably one of the coolest cities I have ever been to. But if you are an American, can't you not go to Cuba? Or is that a part of history now?

its against the law for Americans to go to Cuba...if the government finds out you were there since like 1959 you'll get put in jail and fined some money

If your lookin for a more rowdy "spring break" time, defiately go to Cancun. The clubs/bars are hoppin' every night. Cuba is a nicer place to relax, and find one nice girl to sleep with every night of you all inclusive stay. If you wanna get sloppy and bang a different chick like a hammer each night, then Cancun is your best bet.



Hope that helped cleared up your decision.
