Sensatori, Secrets Silversands & Mayan Palace The good news is that you are close to a real Mexican fishing village (and it ain't Cancun). Depending on which resort you are staying at, you may be able to walk to Puerto Morelos or take a short cab or collectivo ride. As you will read on the pages of this website, Puerto Morelos is a safe, fun and relaxing place to be. Escape your resort for a few hours and enjoy the atmosphere and tranquility of the real Mexico. Here are some advantages to visiting Puerto Morelos.
General tips for staying at an all-inclusive resort *Pace yourself. Do not try and eat & drink your money's worth in the first day. *Watch the sun. It is very powerful and your milky-white snowbird skin will roast in minutes without protection *Bring down a big stack of US $1 bills and spread 'em around like Sinatra at the Sands. Tip everybody! Tip the guy who waters the grass, tip the guy mopping the lobby, tip the maids, bartenders, bus staff...anyone who isn't a guest. Wages are low at these resorts and your tips can make a huge difference. Tipping in pesos is better, but it might be hard to get your hands on a stack of 10 pesos coins...plus how are you going to carry them around in your speedo? Yikes! *Get off your resort once in a while. Explore our area. There is lots to see and it is easy, safe and inexpensive to do so. There are a whole pile of good ideas on this website, check 'em out! *While at the resort, step out of yourself and be extra friendly. Start up a conversation with the people at the table next to you. Ask the waiter where he is from and about his family. Ask the bartender to make the drink he invented or likes to make. Be nice to your fellow guests and extra nice to the staff. You'll have a better time! *Learn a few key Spanish phrases and test them out on everybody. We have excellent phrase books in the bookstore. *Don't worry about the negative reviews on Tripadvisor and other web sites. I swear a large percentage of people just go on vacations so that they can prove how clever they are by running down the place they stay at and the staff. Complaining is the highlight of their trip. Don't buy into it. *Don't worry about the weather. Many people freak out when they see the 15 day forecast and it shows rain every day. Don't believe it for a second. First off, any weather prediction over 24 hours is worthless and secondly, if we do get rain, it is usually a brief shower which then moves off. Besides, the weather is the weather. What can be done? Nobody forgets how to make a margarita just because it is raining! *Do some research. This website is a good place to start and there are others. Consider purchasing a travel guide. We have them in the bookstore! How close are you to Puerto Morelos? Ceiba del Mar - Close, 30 minute walk on the beach or
short cab ride Marina El Cid - Close, 20 minute walk, mostly on the beach or short cab
