There are internet cafes along the hotel zone in Cancun, but they're pricey. If you go downtown (El Centro), you'll find some dirt cheap internet cafes. Well, they're called "cafes", but there is no coffee in them. Just a small shop with a bunch of computers. And don't be afraid to take the buses down there to get to El Centro. They're clean, and safe, and very convenient. Cancun is very tourist friendly. I think I used one near Mercado 28 (aka El Mercado) which is in downtown Cancun and a great place to get away from the totally corporate GAP/PlanetHollywood/Dominos, etc. hotel zone. |

Hi, You did not mention if you were bringing a laptop? Some internet Service providers provide roaming numbers, meaning, they will have a local number in Cancun, where you can dial that number with the computer and actually have access to your mail, web pages etc. For example, here in Canada, Telus is my ISP, and they actually have a local number that you can call in Cancun, so no long distant charges. Telus charges a 2$ an hour rate in Cancun which appears on your internet bill, other ISP's might be free. You can always call the Tech support line of you Internet Service provider, and they will configure your laptop so that you can connect once you get there, and ask them if there are any "roaming charges"! Just remember, if you are in a hotel, you will have to place a "9" before that number to get access to an outside line, for Mexican Hotels, it must be the same. You can always verify with the Hotel themselves. Hope that helps! Have a nice Vacation! |

I forgot to mention that I am bringing a laptop. I did some research in parallel. Apparently, there is a company called 'GoMobile' which pretty much gives you Internet connectivity anywhere in the world with local dialing. They have tied up with hundreds if not thousands of ISPs. The charges in Cancun are $0.15 per minute, which is not bad at all. The other option is that I can a local temporary ISP account for $35 for a whole week. This one is through http://www.cancun.com Thanks all for all the suggestions. I got the El-Centro hang-out place as a nice bonus. Suneet |
