Cancun is Destination of the Year at Attitude Awards 2014
By Sam Rigby
Cancun has been named Destination of the Year at the Attitude Awards 2014.
In association with Virgin Holidays and Hip Hotels, the Mexican resort has been ranked the most desirable holiday destination for the next 12 months.
The Great British Bake Off champ and attitude.co.uk columnist, John Whaite, recently jetted off to enjoy everything the resort has to offer.
Looking back on his trip in the Attitude‘s Awards Issue, he gave a special mention to his favourite eatery, The Surfin’ Burrito, which he described as “a roadside shack of carb joy”.
He continued: “Open 24 hours, they serve burritos with more flavour and girth than a 1980s porno.”
The star baker also expressed his surprise at how gay-friendly the resort is, despite having a reputation for intolerance.
“Not once did I feel unsafe. It’s a true sign that we no longer need to recede into the shadows of a grim bar; we’re welcome to join in with the rest of them and have a simply wonderful holiday.”
