So you stumbled here on to my blog in search of a couple of things…beer, beaches, and babes…right?
Well maybe not exactly (if your a female spring breaker), but I am sure you were searching the internet for a few items on Spring Break 2010!
The hot spots for spring break 2010 are the usual: Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Panama City Florida or South Padre Island Texas!
HERE ARE THE 4 STEPS TO PLANNING YOUR 2010 SPRING BREAK TRIP!
STEP # 1: Find out when your school goes on spring break!
I already did that for you! I have listed them all here on my blog. To find your school’s spring break date Click here (opens in a new window)
STEP # 2: Figure out a budget…(i.e. save some beer money!)
I can help you do that too. It’s important to have a budget, so you’ll need to save some money. To see how to budget and what an average trip will cost check my blog post on it Click here (opens in a new window)
STEP #3: Choose a destination/hotel that fits your budget.
So if you can afford it and have $2000 per person to spend for 7 nights (including airfare) of all out crazyness…check out the private villas in Acapulco…or headquarter properties like the Oasis Cancun Resort. Private villas run from $1700 – $2000 per person. The Oasis Cancun runs about $1400 – $1500 per person but…IT’S ALL YOU CAN EAT AND DRINK.
For a 7 night vacation with all you can eat and drink including your flight plan to spend:
Cancun $999 – $1600 per person
Acapulco $899 – $1800 per person
The Bahamas $999 – $1500 per person
Puerto Vallarta from $1000 – $1500 per person
Jamaica from $800 – $1300 per person
Party Cruises from $400 – $699 per person

STEP # 4: Choose a company secure and legitimate travel company to book your trip.
On the internet these days there are hundreds of ways to book a spring break trip. There are people claiming to operate spring break trips in all these foreign countries, when really they are just a “mom and pop” travel agency. They have no parties, no MTV, no free meals and drinks…and most of all no staff from their offices to pick you up at the airport and bring you to your hotel and be there to help you if there is trouble. In the past 8 years I have travelled with several small companies but have not found any to be as comprehensive and low priced as Studentcity.com
They are a publicly traded company on the stock exchange (so they aren’t “mom and pop”) and they are the largest student travel company in the USA! They are also the official travel partner of MTV. You can see them on “The Real World Cancun” airing Wed. nights on MTV. Spring Break is all that they do and they send about 40 staff to every destination to make sure your having the best time, and if you need help…they are right there to help you out! Also know they are the low price leader, but if you do happen to find a lower price…they’ll BEAT it!
Whether you choose to travel with Studentcity.com or someone else, please use your head and make smart decisions. Be safe and have the time of your life.

Wow…this is an interesting story. If you have been to Cancun since the 2005/2006 hurricane, you know that the government had to re-build the beaches. In the last few years the beaches have began to errode again and well…hotels are doing anything they can to fix that problem.
Environmental enforcement officers backed by Mexican navy personnel closed off dozens of metres of powder-white coastline in front of a hotel accused of illegally accumulating sand on its beach.
Mexico spent $19 million to replace Cancun beaches washed away by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. But much of the sand pumped from the sea floor has since washed away, leading some property owners to build breakwaters in a bid to retain sand.
The practice often merely shifts sand loss to beaches below the breakwaters.
“Today we made the decision to close this stretch of ill-gotten, illegally accumulated sand,” said Patricio Patron, Mexico’s attorney general for environmental protection. “This hotel was telling its tourists: ‘Come here, I have sand … the other hotels don’t, because I stole it.”‘
Patron said five people were detained in a raid for allegedly using pumps to move sand from the sea floor onto the beach in front of the Gran Caribe Real Hotel. The hotel is also suspected of illegally building a breakwater that impeded the natural flow of sand onto other hotels’ beaches, he said.
An employee of the hotel’s marketing office said nobody was available to comment on the allegations. Authorities said the hotel owner ignored previous orders to remove the breakwater.
A knot of angry tourists gathered around the closed beach.
Some were irked by the sight of police tape and “Closed” signs. Maria Bachino, a travel agent from Rocha, Uruguay, said by telephone that she had booked a beachfront room in Cancun, only to find herself cut off from the clear, bathub-temperature waters that lure millions to Cancun each year.
“They promised us a beach,” said Bachino. “This is very unpleasant, we feel bad. This is intimidating,” she said of the armed navy personnel who participated in the raid.
Patron said he regretted any inconvenience for tourists, but said the government is planning projects to restore beaches throughout Cancun in an orderly, environmentally responsible way.
“I apologize to the tourists for this problem, but it is a question of enforcing the law,” Patron said.
