We’ve already shown you the most popular Caribbean hotels on Oyster, and now it’s Mexico’s turn. Though we love less touristy locales like Manzanillo and Yelapa, we weren’t surprised to find that party-centric Cancun and honeymooners-filled Playa del Carmen were the most sought after destinations in Mexico for our users.
