Xel-Ha
Xel-Ha -
The
Snorkeling Heaven (ishel-ha) is a great pick for 1st time
snorkeling, or people whom do not want to open water snorkeling
on windy days when the ocean is rough. The park is a large
natural inlet that has a small opening to the ocean making it a
natural aquarium for all kinds of fish and sea life. There is a
fresh spring water river that flows threw a mangrove, down to
the inlet - you can inter tube down. You can see cenotes and

areas with hammocks.

Tulum is about an
hour drive south from the Puerto Morelos / Playa del Secreto. It
is small but very spiritual, located on top the 50 foot-high
cliffs with the blue waters of the Caribbean as a backdrop.
A morning trip to Tulum makes a nice day
trip is combined with a trip to Xel-Ha in the afternoon. If you have never seen a Mayan Ruin before and are not sure
you want to spend a whole day going to one of the large sites in
the Yucatan, this is a good choice for you.
Chichen Itza was
the most important ancient city of the Mayan Culture, a center
for religion, trade and politics. It is the largest and most
impressive of the Mayan Ruins that lay within a day's trip
distance from the Mayan Riviera area.

you go you should pay for Private Guide - you really get the
most of out the trip and learn a lot about the Mayan Culture
that you will miss on your own. There is also a night light show
that you don't want to miss. It's open 8am to 9pm. It's located
149 miles from Cancun towards Merida, and takes approximately
2.5 hours to get there.

pick you up from the villa and drive to Chichen-Itza (300
miles R/T.)

We encourage all
of our renters to spend a day on the beautiful reef that runs
along the coast
(the 2nd largest coral reef in the world) - the portion of this
reef that runs in front of Puerto Morelos is a national park -
weather you are a diver, fisherman or you like to snorkel it
will make your trip to the area very special.
We suggest Diving Dog
Toursout of Puerto Morelos for FishingandSnorkeling.
Longtime citizen of Puerto Morelos Kathy Loretta runs this
operation. In the last 3 years since I have used Diving Dog
Tours as our Fishing/Snorkeling Service, my guest have had
nothing but great reviews, they are reliable, return emails
promptly and are very informative. Kathy has a the best
antidotes and "fish" tales to tell. I have had other services
forget appointments, get too drunk to fish, cheat customers on
hours out fishing, change prices etc; this service will take
good care of you.
Paco dose the snorkeling and is really good with kids, takes
them by the hand and teaches them how to snorkeling and points
out all the fish and sea life, and explains what each is called.
Kathy goes with the fishing trips if there's room (and she can
skip out from work.)

The villas are surrounded by the best golf
Cancun has to offer. Below are a list of the Golf Courses that

I
suggest that you book your Golf Tee times online before you

phone numbers in Mexico and "Spanglish" speakers: the good
tee off times book up quick.
