RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT HOTEL IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN, MEXICO

We recently had family visit us in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico.  They had been promising to come, but the timing was never right.  Finally, they were able to ascertain plane tickets at a good price, the timing was perfect, and they found the Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel in Playa del Carmen.

Uber and Didi – rideshare services in Merida and Cancun, Mexico

 

Before I share our experiences with these two rideshare services, I would first like to provide a very brief overview of this service in Mexico.  The taxi unions in Quintana Roo and Yucatan, Mexico fought long and hard to keep Uber and DiDi (and any other rideshare service out of this country…unsuccessfully).

Oh, Le Café Paris – Puerto Aventuras, México

Oh, Le Café Paris is the most fun and beautiful restaurant in the entire Puerto Aventuras community… and their food is delicious!  They have a wide variety of items on their open menu (which means you can have breakfast for dinner or vice versa), the ambiance is stunning, and the service is impeccable. It truly reminds me of having an adult Tea Party with all the trimmings of royalty. We were treated like a Queen and a King on our visit.
