Just curious. I have never been to Cancun before (or out of the US) and going to Cancun solo in mid-February. Do a lot of people vacationing sit on the beach and sun tan? I figured that being down south people would be chilling on the beach, drinking, tanning, etc. In the many videos, I see I don't see much for the sun tanners? Is that just a stroke of luck :) ??
It depends upon where you stay within Cancun and what resort. Some resorts cater to the party-goers, others don’t. If sitting on the beach with a beverage in the sun is what you want to do, then Sun Palace would be a good choice. Or le Blanc, but we went in February for the first time and it was way to chill for me (but everyone is different). I like the more upbeat music throughout the day and a bit more lively atmosphere when I’m not reading. Over the 20 some years we’ve been going for a week in the winter, we’ve met lots of people traveling solo. Strike up conversations if you want, or don’t. It’s all good. I personally love to walk the beach or sit or stand in the pool and read or chat with folks. That’s why I like Palace Resorts, not a big party atmosphere and people are really nice. The service and cleanliness are stellar. I go to Cancun to get into the warm and relax for a week away from work.
We were there in the Spring and the weather was perfect. Not so hot it was unbearable, but refreshing with the costal breeze that is almost always present.
We hated the persistent vacation club/Time Share pushing on us, calling our room everyday and not being able to walk by the lobby (small resort, can't avoid it) without being harassed. Ohhh the resort credits and excursions discounts... You also need to talk to the vacation club/timeshare sales shark people for that and they will be very rude and unwilling to help if you do not agree to their sales presentations. Many unhappy "palace members" when they find their rates are higher than what anyone can find and pay online.

What time of the year/month did you go?

I’ve been to sun palace before and have booked to go again next June. When was this video actually made as people are still wearing face masks???
This was made about 4 months ago is my guess
Actually late March.

Oh no! If you aren’t a member, will you get tricked into paying more than you think??
Do Not Buy the package, it is a SCAM!!!
Thanks 😊
