Personal Favorites
Local Attraction:
I definitely enjoy the Emotions tour by Alltournative! It’s fun to ride ATVs, swim in a cenote, and go thrilling zip lines. At the end of the day, they serve delicious Yucatecan food, a delight to my palate!
Recreational Activity:
A weekend trip to the island of Isla Mujeres is so relaxing. I recommend Playa Norte (The Northern tip) for its calm waters that resemble an infinity pool and its white sandy beaches.
Restaurant:
I love Puerto Madero steakhouse, where Argentinean cuisine is the specialty. They serve lots of fresh seafood and prime steaks grilled to your specifications. I enjoy accompanying my fine cut with a nice glass of red wine while admiring a bedazzling sunset on the Nichupte lagoon.
Local Event:
The International Beer Fest in Puerto Morelos. Beer tasting is fun since you can sample beers from the world over. This event is becoming more and more popular each year, attracting lots of visitors.
