We had another 3 day weekend and the flights were open to Cancun so we jumped on the plane Saturday Morning and made it down. We landed at the Cancun airport and headed out to find our way to Puerto Morelos and the Amar Inn. The bus stop is directly outside the terminal to your right. There is only one major road heading to Playa del Carmen and beyond so it is really easy to take public transportation. It cost $10 to Puerto Morelos and shouldn't be too much more to Playa Del Carmen. We got off the bus at the Puerto Morelos stop which is a few miles away from the resort part of town and there are always taxis that will take you directly to where you want in the town for $2.
Puerto Morelos was great! It is a small town and much lower key than Cancun or Playa Del Carmen. We stayed at the Amar Inn which I highly recommend. Just call or email ahead of time to check if they have room. Our room was $50 a night and included a complete homemade mexican breakfast, it was soo good. The staff was very friendly and even cut down a coconut and cracked it open for us to drink the milk!
It is right on the beach so anytime we wanted we could go enjoy the white sand beach. The reef has really good snorkeling, it's a little ways off from the shore so you need to have a boat take you out. We payed $15 each for the snorkeling trip which includes gear and a guide. On Sunday we took the bus to Playa Del Carmen and walked around the market buying fresh cooked food here and there and eventually made it to the beach and had a picnic. There were a ton more people on those beaches but it was fun to see another area.
Monday came and reluctantly we took the taxi back to the bus stop to head back to the airport. We made stopped by the local fruiteria, bought a mango, and then headed back to Utah.
Total Cost: 2 Nights at $50 + Snorkeling trip $30 + Bus and Taxi $50 = $180
Hi, what a father you spent incredible vacation in the city of Cancun and the Mayan Riviera, I hope you repeat it again and you will have time to get to know even more things and places in the city and therefore I recommend you in the first instance reservations a transport service private because this way you will move more easily and save time and you should also buy your tours and activities on the official platforms from before you come so you will save money and you will have good promotions, on accommodation you will find something economical if you are not going to spend it a lot of time in the, but the trick is that several luxury hotels offer Day Pass in case you want to go to only one day, greetings
