One of the few restaurants by the beach, excellent and fresh seafood, you buy the food by the kilo, and they prepare it whatever way you ask them to do it. Very popular among locals, it is a little hidden, the entrance is a little local convenience store, then you go upstairs and voila, restaurant is there, you would not imagine there is a restaurant with a nice view in that little store.
Located in Puerto Juarez, which is the old part of Cancun.
Highly recommend to make reservations, the waiting time can be up to an hour if you do not have any reservation.
Fresh, local, yummy and nice view.

This is a bar and seafood restaurant with ocean front, one of the few in the hotel zone (most of restaurantes are on the lagoon side)
Located in front of Chedraui Selecto. The entrance is through the X-Caret offices, where you can park if you are driving.
I love coming here for lunch to have a beer and a snack, good food. Please do not confuse it with the restaurante besides El timon de Cancun. It is totally different.
There is the option of renting lounge chairs by the beach and ordering your food in Almadia, the lounge chairs do not belong to the restaurant, but they will provide you with the service by the beach if you wish.

Excellent French restaurant, ideal for celebrating a special occasion or just to delight your palate. Due to its location in the city and not a hotel zone, prices are affordable for the type of food and quality they offer.

The only reason why I recommend this restaurante is because is inside a cave, the food is expensive and is not that good, but the place is unique. The only restaurante of it's kind in the area, located in Playa del Carmen.

Seafood restaurante located in the city. It is the same owners and quality as Marbella, the difference is that they do have a menu made by a chef (in Marbella there is no menu, you have to tell them how would you like your meals to be cooked)

Considerada una de las 7 maravillas del mundo moderno, Chichen-Itza es uno de los sitios mas populares a visitar. Ya sea que lo visites por cuenta propia en carro, autobus ADO, o bien con algun tour, es una de las recomendaciones cuando visitas esta area. Y ya que estas aqui, aprovecha a disfrutar el espectaculo de luz: Noches de Kukulkan, un show de 30 minutos que recomiendo ampliamente.
La entrada al show de noche es independiente al de dia, hay que volver a pagar, y puede llegar a suspenderse si el clima no lo permite. El mejor precio para el show de noche es el dia domingo.

Este museo inmersivo (simula un ambiente tridimensional) esta genial para disfrutar una experiencia diferente y tambien para tomar unas excelentes fotografias. Ubicado a unos pasos de la zona arqueologica de Tulum, su exito ha sido tal que una replica del mismo, represento a Mexico en la Expo Dubai 2022.
Es un museo pequeno y no te tomara mas de una hora en disfrutarlo.

Playas
Esta es una de las playas que mas gusta a la gente, ubicada en el corazon de la zona hotelera, el acceso es entre Coco Bongo y Mandala. Lo que mas me gusta de esta playa, ademas de su color turquesa, es la accesibilidad al estacionamiento y al 7 eleven, por lo que si se te antoja una cerveza o algo para comer, el 7 eleven esta justo en la playa.
No hay renta de camastros ni sombrillas, tienes la opcion de comprar un day pass en Mandala o Coco bongo.

A visit to Isla Mujeres is a must
Either taking a tour or the ferry, isla mujeres is a small and pretty island, better to visit on weekdays. You can either take the ferry in Puerto Juarez or hotel zone. Puerto Juarez is more for locals and have slightly cheaper prices, but the line up can get very crowded.
Many boat tours go daily, my favourite and the one I recommend if you decide to take a tour is "the Dancer" lots of fun, good food, and suitable for everybody, very complete tour.
