Another one - if you are a wine lover, you'll be hugely disappointed, as Mexico is a land of beer. It is extremely hard to buy any wine, not talking about a Mexican one (though we had finally found it - if it was worth it, that's a whole different story). Finally, in Ciudad Cancun there are none zebra crossings... to get to the other ...
