The Travel Gallery

Here’s our monthly gallery showcasing some of the region’s many natural and historical
attractions. How many have you visited? Which ones would you like to explore on future visits
to Grand Residences?

Isla Mujeres

Hop over to Cancun’s Caribbean sister island, it’s only a 20-minute boat ride away. Rent a golf
cart and drive to Punta Sur, the island’s southern headland, for breathtaking views of turquoise
waters and the Cancun skyline and a glimpse of an ancient Maya temple. Then spend the day at
Garrafon Park or at Playa Norte and be sure to stay on for the sunset.

Puerto Morelos

Start 2024 by spending an hour or so in one of your favorite spots, Puerto Morelos. Sign up for
the bike trip from the resort into town. Find a palapa for some beach time or go snorkeling
along the offshore reef. Grab a coffee and ice cream in the main square or snack on fresh
seafood along the waterfront. If you have run out of beach books, browse the shelves at Alma
Libre bookstore just off the main square, you are always sure to find something to read.
For a fun day of jungle adventures with the family, visit Selvatica or one of the cenote parks in
the forest along the Ruta de los Cenotes.

Akumal

Spend the day on the beach at Akumal in the Riviera Maya. This sheltered, palm-lined bay is a
family favorite for swimming and snorkeling. You may even spot one of the turtles that give the
bay its Maya name “place of the turtles.”

Tulum

Taking in the breathtaking views of the Caribbean from this ancient clifftop city is the perfect
way to start the year. Breathe deeply, listen to the breeze and the cries of the birds and savor
the moment.
Your Concierge can help you arrange trips to these sites of interest and many more in the
Mexican Caribbean and the Yucatan.
