2011 Hot Spring Break Destinations: The Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City, Cancun, Padre Island, Texas

Once again, the boardwalk resort in Panama City will be ground zero for all the major Spring Break parties. MTVu Spring Break will be there. And so are a lot of major artists and stars who just want to join the fun.

What's great about this year's Spring Break is that hotel managers understand the financial situation of most students. The economy is bad and they are feeling its effects. So they are willing to give great deals to students who know how to bargain. Cheap hotels remain a major attraction.

Here is a brief list of some of the hottest spring break destinations:

Acapulco, Mexico

Mazatlan, Mexico

Cancun, Mexico

Bahamas Party Cruise

Panama City Beach, FL

South Padre Island Texas

Nassau, Bahamas

Negril, Jamaica

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Violence and death are keeping tourists away from the beautiful beaches of Acapulco. Everyone hopes that the drug violence will stop so more people can visit Mexico. Even some Mexican Americans with family members still living in Mexico decide to bypass Mexico because of the senseless killings. The video below show the types of killings and deaths that are occurring there.
