March has elite beach weather, but spring break makes it loud, expensive and crowded.

March has some of Cancún’s best weather, but it is not calm. Spring break creates hotel, nightlife and beach-club pressure, especially in the hotel zone. It is excellent for parties and reliable sun, less ideal for quiet resort value.
