| Our holidays
to Mexico are concentrated around the Mexican Caribbean in the north-east
of mexico. Flights arrive at Cancun International Airport from around
the UK, and all resorts are within a maximum of 2 hours transfer time
from the airport with many under an hour away. Cancun is the most famous and well-known of the area's resorts and its hotels are within around 20 to 30 minutes transfer time from the airport. Cancun can be viewed as two distinct places with downtown Cancun being the hub of the working city with many hotels, restaurants and shopping areas. Cancun's hotel zone on the other hand occupies a strip of land, shaped like a number 7, of around 25kms which has the Caribbean on one side with the Nichupte lagoon on the other. The hotel zone is home to the larger hotels as well as shopping malls, restaurants and boasts some fantastic beaches of white talcum sand lapped by the warm turqoise waters of the Caribbean. Cancun is also famous for its fantastic nightlife with some great bars, restaurants and discos including Coco Bongos, Bulldog and many other exciting venues. Heading south from Cancun you will first come to Puerto Morelos which is a sleepy fishing village where tranquility reigns alongside beautiful beaches in this charming Mexican fishing village. Puerto Morelos has the benefit of a beautiful reef just 500 metres offshore and the town has been awarded the status of a 'National Marine Park'. There are a number of excellent hotels close to Puerto Morelos including Azul Hotel, Secrets Excellence, and El Dorado Royale. A few miles beyond Puerto Morelos lies the larger city of Playa
del Carmen which has become a popular resort over the years as well
as being the port for ferries to the island of Cozumel. Playa del
Carmen incorporates Playacar which is where the larger resort hotels
are mostly located. The resort has grown up alongside the ocean
with the main roads running parralel to the sea. The most famous
of these is Fifth Avenue where there are superb opportunities to
shop as well some great Mexican bars and restaurants with Lobster
available in many places at a bargain price! Puerto Aventuras is the next port of call on the southward journey down the Riviera Maya. Puerto Aventuras is best known for its marina, - the only one along the Riviera Maya. The town is popular as the destination for swimming with dolphins as well as being the centre for sport and big-game fishing on Mexico's Caribbean coast. Tulum is the southern-most point of the Riviera Maya and it offers
a combination of a beach, archaeological ruins, and a town. You
could say that there are three distinct areas which make up what
is commonly referred to as Tulum. |
