For a week in Cancun we were treated to nothing but great sunrises.  The sun rises early but it’s worth it because the resort is quiet, there’s barely anyone on the beach, and you have no trouble reserving some chairs wherever you want poolside.

We also took a day trip to Chichen Itza which was worth it.  However, if you want to take photos taking one of the large group tours probably isn’t the best idea because you are there in the middle of the day with harsh sunlight that isn’t great for photos.
