Local Tips from Us
Book Tours in Advance
Popular tours like Chichen Itza sell out, especially in December. Book at least a week ahead.
Cash is King
While most places accept cards, local markets and small vendors prefer pesos. ATMs are widely available.
Reef-Safe Sunscreen Only
Regular sunscreen damages the coral reef. Many places require reef-safe options—buy before you go.
Stay Hydrated
The sun is strong! Drink plenty of water and stick to bottled water (the resort provides it).
Uber Works Here
Uber is available and often cheaper than taxis. Download the app before you arrive.
Learn a Little Spanish
While English is common in tourist areas, locals appreciate any effort. 'Gracias' goes a long way!
