The Islands of the Mexican Caribbean




The Charming Islands of the Mexican Caribbean Contoy Holbox Isla Blanca Isla Mujeres

The common characteristic of the islands is their peaceful beauty and their diverse flora and fauna. This is particularly true of Contoy Island , which is uninhabited as it is a National Park, and is known for its beautiful bird sanctuary.
Isla mujeres is commonly described as a peaceful island of fishermen with some alarming stories of pirates. In reality, it presents a very different image, with small boutique hotels scattered along its 7 km length, and over 975 hotel rooms. It is located 14 km from Cancun, across the Bay of Women.

Holbox, known as the rustic island home to flamingos, specializes in ecotourism. It is located off the north coast of Quintana Roo, and has only 20 hotels, mostly cottage-style, and 262 rooms. Holbox offers unique outdoor activities and unforgettable tours, suck as the whale shark and exotic bird watching.


Cozumel, only 15 minutes flight form Cancun, or 35 minutes boat ride from Playa del Carmen, is an island rich in traditions and culture that predates the Spanish arrival. It has over 4,000 hotel rooms, is 48 kilometers long, and is the largest island in Mexico. Its international fame is due to the enormous and beautiful coral reefs that surround it, and as such, it is an excellent destination for aquatic activities. Cozumel has the second best diving reef in the world, second only to Australia. The annual arrival of the cruise ships, about 1,300 of them, bearing more than 2 million passengers, makes Cozumel one of Mexico's most important ports.

The Island of Holbox




Holbox Island

There is no no written history about this beautiful bare-foot island. It is in the voice of the elders that we find the legend of the island's first inhabitants. Long time ago, around 1800, the ships of the Spanish Armada came to recharge fresh water from Yalahau, a beautiful crystalline water-eye also known as the fountain of youth, that today offers its beauty as a tourist destination. Far from large cities, several European emigrants settled on the island, where forgotten by history, founded the town that we know today as Holbox. The meaning of Holbox is lost in the legend of the infamous pirate Francisco Molas and the navigational charts of Spain army as well as fantastic stories of the ancient Mayas, from whom the word Holbox meant "Black Hole".
The islanders descendants of pirates, mestizos of several races. Fishermen by trade have kept their simple lifestyle unaffected by technology or the ambitions of a greedy modern world, which is why the island has retained its special simple atmosphere that invite visitors to stroll bare-foot along the white sand roads and relax in the bohemian ambiance.

Holbox is a paradise amongst mangroves and white sandy beaches; it is a perfect refuge for temptations of the soul, far from the contamination of the main land. Thanks to this continual purity and isolation, a large variety of birds and other species had chosen the island as a refuge and breeding ground. All of this enriches the natural wonder and beauty of the environment offering us a completely different experience full of life.


Holbox is about 27 miles long island, with tourist attractions based on its natural surroundings its beaches, birds, deep sea and fly fishing, and the famous whale shark, who in summer comes to feed in the nearby waters. This unique experience is highlighted by kayak rides through he mangroves, diving ancient shipwrecks, not to mention a pleasant stay in the island's quaint inns and small hotels.
Unforgettable, Holbox will leave a mark that will make you want to come back again and again. We will always be waiting fro you.


Rent a yacht to do a trip to Holbox Island , complete tour is 8hrs long from Cancun and a cost of 1200 usd by a boat of 6 people

Whale Shark in the Riviera Maya




Dive with the whale shark at the Riviera Maya

To think of a fish that can be 18 meters long sounds a little prehistorical, even more when we are told that it is herbivorous and it lives in these days distributed among the warm waters of the world. It's fascinating to think that the same water where swimmers enjoy summer, this gigantic animal lives.

This creature is really a fish but people include the name whale because his enormous size.
Whale sharks are essential animals in the ocean. According to experts, to catch these animals could produce terrible disasters in the ocean's balance. This is why every place this creature visits, ecotourism program that protect it and inform to the people about the characteristics and situation that this huge animal is facing are developed.

Whale shark turn out to be great tourist attraction that let divers get close enough to touch them, and is an awesome unique experience the takes them even to cross the word only to touch their rough skin.
The local community of Holbox Island developed conduct codes that let you enjoy this fascinating experience at the same time you preserve this natural wonder.

Isla Mujeres food restaurant and cofee

Picus. My first and last Isla meal, with a few in between. Ceviche is IMHHO, the best. I get the mixto – shrimp, squid, octopus, conch. In comes on a plate, not in a glass like the solo ceviches. It is superb. The conch and o'pus are tender too, a rarity. Lime and cilantro fragrances. And at 70p, a bargain. Lobster? 3 mediums with all the fixins – 150p. At 11:1 exchange rate, that's what, USD .13.50. The snapper Veracruzana and the fish filets with garlic – super! Super!!

Na Balam's Zazil Ha. Wow, the lobster bisque is still awesome. One time it was a bit off, but the other times, 10+, lots of lobster and sooooo creamy smooth. Wow again. But, 115p. Expensive. The lobster tostadas were not up to par of 2 years ago – just OK. The tuna spring rolls are great. The crème brule was not brulled – soft and sort of like tapioca. Disappointment. The scorpio tequila is 60p a shot and 900p a bottle. Rip off for 1800 anejo. It seems Na Balam is keeping pace with pricing but not improving or maintaining. OK, some Jacuzzi suites went up 2 years ago, but I spoke to several people staying there that felt the lack of amenities (no phone, TV, clock, frig) were too glaring for the price of a room and the food. The crepuscule shrimp and the black pasta with squid were off too. Bottom line: we'd go for a tequila scorpio, get 2 bisques and one app and then have a latter dinner elsewhere. Too bad, but still good.

Angelo's. Now here is a fine consistent place, better than Rolandi Pizza. The menu is some apps, pizzas and pastas, but are they ever great. The pizza oven is out near the street and you see the pies being made and put in the oven. Prices 55-75p All are fine. The pastas – oh my! I had the Pacifico (linguine with shrimp in alight red sauce) and the fruiti de mari (white oil and garlic with clams and shrimp).. Both are really excellent and 70p (?). And all the garlic bread you want. Nice wine list – we always got a Spanish rioja – Paternina (?) for 220p. Angelo himself does the cooking.

Café Cito. Nice for breakfast or lunch. Light yogurt, eggs, coffee, sandwiches.

Sergio's Playa del Sol. Nice place to watch the sun set and have a beer. The food – questionable. I know many here know Sergio and I did meet him briefly on Dec2, as he was having a party with a band following him around. I know he doesn't remember. His friend Ed and he left. Next day, the waiters were all hung over, haha! Sergio seems nice and several folks I met sat he is great guy. But the food – guac OK, chicken nachos - ^&*^&*&*. I won't say how bad they were. Two other couples, there at different times, agreed. So, just get a drink and watch the sun. Sorry.

Posada del Mar. The bar in back by the pool is n ice and they make mean strong drinks – great banana-strawberry daqu with a rum float on top. The restaurant, Penguino's, serves a very nice breakfast and if you sit right at the front facing the street, you have a show!

Alexia y Giovannis, by Leonore. Wow, what a place. Shrimp soup, chile rellenos, breakfasts like eggs (huevos) rancheros and moltenos – excellent, fresh and cheap.

Jammin. Across the street from Alexia y G. Nice place, indoor and a yard. Had an USD5.00 burger – 350 grams, with Lettuce and tomato, cheese and fries. Giant burger, hard to handle as is almost the size of a Frisbee!!

Chiles Locos. Fine place. Drinks are 2-4-1 from 11AM until your drunk, as they say. Jorge, the owner, is a card, Okey Dokey! Fine food. The chile loco, the namesake, is a wonderful baked poblano pepper stuffed with creamy seafood. But it is small. I told Jorge to double the order or charge half. It does take prep time tho. The coconut shrimp are excellent – plump, juicy and not too sweet. I had a free drink per meal coupon from Kathryn of Travel From. I pulled it out and Jorge shrugged, but when he took it and saw Travel From, he lit up and said, My Friend Kathryn!!! We each got free drinks with our meals that night and every time we ate there. After the free drink, It's 2-4-1 – cab me a call home, Gorje, haha!

Sunday Ribs. It's called Asadero Tino's Costillos al Carbon. Located in a yard on Matamoros, just up from the water and Medina. Sundays only and just look for the smoke! Ribs are ready by about 10-10:30 AM USD3.00 gets you about half a rack, ensalada, rice, beans, salsa and tortilla. Scrumptuous. Take em back to the room, or the beach and have soap and water ready clean your fingers and face, haha. Super good!

Sunset Grill. On North Beach. Nice guac, fish tacos; easy place to chill
