April travel

Where to go on holiday in April?

Cancun scores 8.5 out of 10 in April: 31C days, a 27C sea you can swim in without flinching, and 40mm of rain that mostly falls in short afternoon bursts. Here is how the rest of the world stacks up this month.

Crowds. Busy, but you can still walk into most places midweek.

Prices. Rates are above average but deals still appear midweek.

Seaweed. Sargassum can appear on some east-facing beaches. Isla Mujeres north beach and the cenotes are the reliable backup.

Storms. Outside hurricane season entirely.
