Very Excited!

Any recommendations or things to do in the area? Any Golf courses worth trying to get a round in?

Here is what we'll be trying to do:

• Zipline through the Yucatan jungle
  
• Visit Playa del Carmen or Isla Mujeres
• Snorkle/Swim with dolphins

when are you going? I would do swim with the whale sharks...i would pass on the zip line in cancun

thanks. Fiancee wants to do some type of "rainforest" ziplining. I'll check into the whale sharks. Heading down on the 19th.

You picked a great resort, the wife & I stayed there for a week and we loved it.

On a previous trip, we did a cenotes tour that I really enjoyed. They are basically these pools at the bottom of deep sinkholes. It was about 110F that day and swimming down there felt awesome after walking around Chichen Itza for a few hours.

As for the resort itself, the breakfast buffet is sort of meh. I'd skip the buffet and do breakfast at one of the beachfront restaurants. Better food, better view. That's probably my only complaint about the place. I'm sure you guys will have a great time. Drink a playa blanca for us.

I'm jealous. And no real help from me, we always lay on the beach or at the pool all day and relax. Havana Club 7 and soda, por favor.

i did cavern diving in the cenotes at Playa del Carmen. If you are a diver, it is a must do imo.

Visit Isla

We stayed there for a week last summer. Amazing place with beautiful beaches, awesome food, and great locals.

If you're going for a day trip opt for either Playa Norte to relax on the beach or the Reef Park Garrafon for snorkeling, ziplining, kayaking etc. At Playa Norte rent chairs from one of the numerous beach bars and enjoy cold beer in the shade. At the Reef Park it's all-inclusive and includes booze, towel, locker, buffet lunch, and activities. They have a pool but no real beach. Water and views are amazing.

We also did a day trip to the ruins at Chicen Itza and a stop for cenote swimming that was great.

Let me know if you want more details and recs.

the cenotes tour looks awesome. Any company you recommend? Or is that something that the conceriege could setup.


Worth going down to Playa del carmen or Isla verde? Probably only want to do one of these but playa Norte looks amazing. It looks like a ~ 45 min drive plus a ferry ride over to Isla Mujeres. Has anyone done that trip before?

Boca Del Puma Eco-Park seems like a good time too

5th ave in Playa is cool....sort of like their version of 6th Street.

I've done the dolphin thing, it was cool to do if you've never done it before.

We also did the zip lining. It's supposed to be a whole day adventure thing. Zip lining, snorkeling, lunch, ect. We spent 2-3hrs on the zip lining, then just caught a cab and went back to the resort. It was cool.
