While some Tren Maya sections are still being worked on, the section between the Cancun airport and the famous Chichén Itzá ruins is finished and already taking international visitors and locals to this well know destination.
While I’m all into catamaran sailings when on vacation, I do admit this video really tempts me to take a private sailing trip to the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres from Cancun.
Say you’re staying a week at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone…and you realize you are getting bored just laying around poolside, bellying up to the swim-up bar, and eating like there’s no tomorrow. What do you do?
My Instagram friend, Gaspar Michel (known as cancunvacationsecrets on Instagram) kindly wrote me a blog post about what to do when travelers are staying at an all-inclusive resort but want to do something fun and/or adventurous in the Cancun or Riviera Maya areas of Mexico. Since he currently resides in Tulum and has been posting for some time about what to do and how to save money while on vacation in this part of Mexico, I thought a local would be the best source of info about how to have even more fun while vacationing at an all-inclusive property. So, please read on and find out what he thought would be helpful…

The Xenotes Tour by Xcaret is one of the most booked tours out there right now. It is extremely popular with vacationers to the Cancun and Riviera Maya areas and especially more so for those within the age group of 20-40.
Want to experience the best of both a day club and a cenote? Then head to Buuts’ Ha’ Cenote Club. If you want an idea of its location in the Riviera Maya, it’s south of Xel-Há Park and north of Dreams Tulum (about a 15 min. drive north of Tulum).

Exhausted and frustrated in trying to find the right all-inclusive resort for your next vacation in Cancun or the Riviera Maya in Mexico? There is a LOT of info out there for vacationers who don’t want to use a travel agent’s help or suggestions–most travel agents truly do work hard to find just the right vacation “fit” for their clients, but some agents will push resorts which offer the most commission.
Every year between the months of June through September flocks of Cancun visitors will make a day trip off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula to get a chance to snorkel and swim with whale sharks. No need to get anxious, however, these sharks only eat plankton and are not known to attack people so this may be an intimidating day trip but it’s not dangerous.
