Focus on Puerto Morelos, Mexico

SIX REASONS YOU SHOULD VACATION IN PUERTO MORELOS, MEXICO DURING THE SUMMER SEASON

(JUNE to MID NOVEMBER)

1)  What happened in July.

• During the month of July, our town became an “Alcaldia”  meaning that, it is where the Mayor does business with slightly more autonomy for decisions than previously.  An Extraordinary sitting of the Constitutional Committee of Benito Juarez was held in the Parque de Puerto Morelos to ratify the formation of the Alcaldia.  For Puerto Morelos, it means that there is the strong possibility that we will have our own municipality within the next few years.

2)  Our Beautiful White Sand Beaches.

Our beaches are beautiful year-round, but during the summer and early fall the oceans flatten out with gentle waves perfect for swimmers, those who want to snorkel or scuba. The waters are also warmer, a pleasant 78-85 degrees F,  perfect for all water activity.  Enjoy long beach walks on cool sand since the silica that composes it doesn’t absorb the sun’s heat, remaining cool under foot).  Spread out your beach towel near one of the beach bars and just let your senses feast on the beauty of turquoise blue waters, clear blue sky and those books you’ve been dying to read.

Prefer to just chill out and relax by the pool side?   Miles of wide beaches invite you to daydream, read, snooze, let your imagination run wild while you watch the frigate birds and pelicans dive for their dinner.  Back at your lodging, you can awaken to the sweet songs of orange breasted orioles, yellow breasted warblers, white warblers, sandpipers, blue jays and humming birds.  And let’s not forget some of the best Mexican beers, Micheladas and Tequila available!

3)  Forty restaurants all within walking distance of the town square.

Perhaps you enjoy relaxing at café style bistro tables to have your coffee, drinks, or meals, a regular people-watcher.  Perhaps you prefer sitting inside.  Whatever your style you can find it at one of the many diverse restaurants in Puerto Morelos.  Whether you crave Mexican, Italian, Thai, Oriental, Indian fusion cuisine or seafood, Argentinean style beef, Pizza or a delicious American style hamburgers and fries you can find it in town.

  Like entertainment with your dinner or for a special occasion?  You can find it at several restaurants and bars  at various nights of the week  as Puerto Morelos boasts with fine singers and music combos.  On a budget?  Not a problem.  A typical dinner including an entry, main course, a glass of wine or beer will cost approximately 130 pesos – just a little over $10 per person!  (Current exchange rate =  Approx.  11.00 pesos per US dollar and 11.30 pesos per Canadian dollar.  Rates fluctuate.)  How can you top that?  Check out our website for a complete listing of  restaurants  in and around town.

4)  Summer time brings bargain rates for rental houses and at some hotels.

Vacation Home

For example, from July to mid-November, the monthly rental rate for a residential gated house,  3 bedrooms,  2 baths, 2 street away from the beach,  is $700 for the month plus utilities (Gas, electricity, cable, drinking water).  This house has air conditioning plus ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, an equipped galley kitchen and an enclosed yard.  Price also includes weekly maid and gardener service.
