7 nights in Mexico... too short?

Hello, thinking of celebrating my 30th in Mexico in March...

I was originally planning/thinking 7 nights - 4 nights in Cancun, 3 in Tulum...
But I've been told that "it'll be a waste to go to Mexico for just 7 nights"...

Do you agree? I don't mind staying longer at all, so would 10 days perhaps be better?

I have done Tulum for a week (fly into Cancun and then down to the Gran Bahia Principe). You arrive in the evening which is a little awkward for meals plus you're whacked. The next morning you're awake at sparrow fart (or pelican hoot), which makes for a weird day.
Coming back you're probably leaving the hotel around 12ish for a teatime flight, so that days knocked out.
So it probably is too short a time for that outlay.
Nowadays, I'd rather fly direct south for a shorter break. Even Cape Town flights are more jet lag-friendly as they are overnight both ways and time difference doesn't come into it. Plus you can be at your hotel very swiftly.

Hello there 😊 May I message you with regards to Tulum? I'll be staying there, it really speaks to me.., and yes it'll be 10 nights I've decided now x

Update : I've decided on Tulum wooo! I've found a gorgeous gorgeous place to stay. It's absolutely lush and I'm excited woo.
Tulum really speaks to me and I've discovered I can do all my plans there (and nearby Akumal). Will do day trips elsewhere too

I'm so excited to explore, you've all been really helpful 🤍 aiming to go for 10 nights

Wooooo 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾
