Ted Cruz has been slammed for joking that Texans should “join me in Cancun” as the state braces for a deep freeze.
“Texans, with the freeze coming, wrap your pipes, cover your plants, stay off icy roads & keep your family safe. And, if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun!” he wrote on X.

Ok, ok.... Ted "Zodiac Killer" Cruz is a total POS.
However, I'm going to Cancun for first time in a couple weeks.
Anyone have suggestions?
Make sure your visits don’t overlap?
Not sure when that scumbag is going. We have a wedding to attend. Can't really alter our timeline.
Well, make sure to fumigate the venue for vermin, should be fine.
Have fun. Watch out for vendors trying to sell you stuff before you even leave the airport. Only go on tours through your hotel. Mostly to avoid getting ripped off.
It's pretty safe down there. Last trip my spouse and I wandered around Tulum no problem. It's a ways down the coast from Cancun hotel zone. But it was fun seeing some less touristy areas.
The Mayan ruins at Coba, Tulum, and Chichén Itzá are pretty neat if you're into that. Tulum is the smallest but not too difficult to get to. The other two are inland and will be a bit of a trip.
If you drink alcohol and have never had one before try a paloma. Bonus points for going with tajin on the glass rim. I'm a huge fan. Been drinking those for years after a friend who grew up in Mexico taught me. But I enjoy grapefruit and spicy food which I realize isn't common.
Ty for the info. I'm pretty good with situational awareness, so, not really stressed about safety.
Just one: stay away from Ted
But, what if I notice him by a cliff with rocks below? 😏
Give him a friendly pat on the back for me.
Sure, that seems reasonable.
They have some great zipline trips in the rainforests! I'm not the biggest fan of heights but I had an absolute blast doing it and it's really scenic.
Jumping into/swimming in a cinote (as another commenter pointed out) is incredible.
Snorkeling is super fun just to explore stuff.
If you find a few janky lawn chairs you should definitely take them off the beach and into the ocean to enjoy the water in relaxation mode 😎
Ty. Wasn't expecting actual answers. We're planning lots of relaxation.
I gotchu, friend. Enjoy the trip!
Gracias
If it says it's going to rain, be aware that "rain" there can mean actual buckets of water being dropped from the sky on your head. Like, you get caught in the rain and you feel like you're standing under a waterfall.
Okie dokie
I had a blast going to a cenote. Just because someone is on the resort property doesn't mean they are legit - don't buy cigars, especially Cubans, from the hotel grounds. The water near the hotels sucks, but the snorkeling trips are legit. I was up the road a bit at Playa del Carmine, which is a bit quieter than Cancun, so grain of salt and all.
Ty. No worries about cigars 🤢
That's how I feel about every other form of tobacco but I like cigars and that's a super common problem down there. Especially to get them even as gifts and they are just terrible, made all the more tragic by spending Cuban-level money on floor sweepings.
Never on my radar. Ty.
Don't order pizza. We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut while we were down there because it was too windy for grilling at our place and it was the worst pizza I've ever had.
Ummm, okie dokie.... Wasn't even a thought.
Look for ”talking crosses". They are big crucifixes wearing mayan petticoats. They are a symbol of the Caste War and People of the Cross. They still receive offerings to this day.
