Beach Week Day 3: Countdown to Cancun

Cancun gets a bad rap as a spring break destination that you should only go to if you want to compete in a wet T-shirt contest or break a record for tequila shots, but as Hope learned it depends on when you go and where you stay. Ready to test the waters? Enter VH1's Countdown to Cancun giveaway that celebrates Virgin America's inaugural flight to the Mexican beach resort.

Included in the prize is a 3-night stay at the new Live Acqua Cancun, a 371-room resort. The hotel is an all inclusive with restaurant choices ranging from Mediterranean to Asian to New American to Mexican. (Why you wouldn't indulge in guacamole and salsa everyday of your trip is beyond us.) It has a spa and a pool valet who hands out snacks, magazines and fully loaded iPods to borrow and is located in the main hotel zone.

The only bad news: Virgin America is currently only flying to Cancun from the west coast, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Here's hoping flights from the midwest and east coast start soon! Enter to win on CountdowntoCancun.com.
