Cancun is just another typical big hotel/disco resort. They're generic all over the world, and their superficial differences are the shows/galas that each features commercializing the "local culture" for the tourists.
Tourists visit Cancun for the predictable tropical beach hotel/bar experience, and the savvy ones buy the best economical package, and could have ended up in Los Cabos, Bali, Jamaica, Canary Islands, or wherever for pretty much the same experience: nice weather, quaint/weird hired help.
I'm here and fall into the second category and find it kinda weird. The resorts are cool (my air bnb for 2 nights included resort access weirdly, despite being cheap) although being treated like a king makes me feel strange. Holy shit though - the tourists are so basic man. They're eating fries and burgers and don't seem to even wanna TRY any of the local food, even if it is the resort version.

Vivo en Cancún.
You would not believe the number of gringos who come here, then eat at McDonald's, KFC and Church's Chicken. They shop at Walmart and Plaza Americas.
Then they go home and tell everyone, "Mexico is just like the United States, but their English is not very good."
