XCARET
(eesh-ca-ret) Eco Park:
14 km. (9 miles) from Puerto Aventuras
59.6 km. (37.2 miles) from Cancun Airport turnoff
“Nature's Sacred Paradise” was once an ancient Mayan port and one of
the places they came to purify themselves in the sacred waters of the
cenote. Today it is a large day park featuring an under ground river,
aquarium, butterfly pavilion, archaeological sites, lagoons, beaches,
museum, restaurant and trained dolphins. The evening show takes you
back in time to visit the Mayan as they once were, plus offers a typical
Mexican Folklore show performed in an open air theater. This popular
and often crowded attraction is well worth seeing. It is a very long
day if you come early and stay for the show. We recommend arriving in
the afternoon then staying for the evening show, which is a little less
expensive too. Here is their web site for more info: XCARET

Playa
del Carmen:
20.5 km. (13 miles) from Puerto Aventuras
53.1 km. (33.2 miles) from Cancun Airport turnoff
This funky little town is buzzing with growth. While it still attracts
many budget minded travelers from all over the world, it is rapidly
moving up market. Building restrictions have kept the large chain hotels
just outside of town in PlayaCar and up and down the coast, thereby
allowing the town to maintain a certain charm. The new growth is seeing
many small hotels, boutiques, restaurants, bars and the odd chain popping
up faster than one can imagine.
The action is along the beach and centered around Avenida 5. Most of
this street is blocked to vehicular traffic creating a wide pedestrian
walkway. Here the people watching is as good as the shopping and
dining. Listen carefully and you will hear as much Italian, German,
French and English as you do Spanish.
Development
has been blossoming to the north of town. Follow Avenida 5 or
3 further north and you will find all kinds of interesting little restaurants,
boutiques, and character hotels. The beaches are less crowded
out this way too.
Playa del Carmen is a major center so you will find numerous banks,
pharmacies, film developing shops and other services here. For
groceries and refreshments Chedraui is the largest local grocery store.
There is also a Sam's Club. Playa del Carmen is where the pedestrian
ferry to Cozumel docks.

Cancun:
Airport 73 km. (45 miles) from Puerto Aventuras, Central Cancun 87 km.
(54 miles) from Puerto Aventuras )
International airport, commercial center of the region, and world famous
hotel zone are what Cancun is known for. This is a good place to stock
up on groceries and supplies
before heading out to the villa. You can find many American brand products
and the best prices at Costco, WalMart, Sams Club or Commercial Mexicana.
Cancun is divided into two distinct areas. The “Hotel Zone” is a 28
km. (17 mile) narrow spit of land, separated by the ocean with its gorgeous
white sand beaches on one side and the lagoon on the other. Here you
will find a very polished side to Mexico with many of the hotel, store,
restaurant, and nightclub names you are familiar with, plus many unique
to Cancun. 4 shopping malls (we like La Isla) and a Mexican style Mercado
will satisfy any shopper. The entertainment never ends along this strip.
On the far end of the Hotel Zone nearest the airport, Wet & Wild
aquatic park is located. Here you can keep an entire family cooled off
and active all day long. (click
here for Wet & Wild web site)
The rest of Cancun is on the mainland and where the locals live, shop
and conduct the business, which supports the region. The center has
a nice Mexican charm about it and where you will find many restaurants,
shops and smaller hotels. Not too far from “el centro” on Avenida Tulum,
you will find the shopping center Plaza Americas, with its many shops
and movie theatres. Right behind is Plaza del Toros where every Wednesday
afternoon you can watch the bullfights. If you would like to join some
of the local businessmen for lunch, try the restaurant Guadalupana under
the bullring, it’s great.
