Thanks for the info. We were looking at the Xcaret park, and we have found a really nice looking hotel that's quite near it, so you get a free day-pass in it!!!

We'd be planning to go between pretty much from the beginning of July to the end of August. I've heard sometimes it can be better (and cheaper) to go around May, but i have a scholarship with my school, and the terms and conditions are that i am not allowed to take leave from school if i want to retain the scholarship.

Another question that's come up, is there a chance of heavy rainfall and wind around there? My mum was researching on the web and found some sites that said there's a risk of that. It should be alright, we had many downpours whilst visiting Florida, but it would be great to just know.

Thanks, sammy101, we've also been looking at the Dominican Republic. I still like the look of Mexico though
