FAQ's About Our Home
1. Is it close to the ocean? We are about 300 yards from the beach as the crow flies from our rooftop but it is only a 2 minute drive to the closest beach. The beach is Plahya de Ninos on Puerto Juarez which is the original Cancun Beach before the Hotel Zone ever existed. It is the polar opposite of the glitz of the tourist area. It still has the innocent charm of a small fishing village with a lovely public beach which is usually filled with locals rather then tourists (see pics). USE THE CAR TO SHUTTLE YOUR CREW OR WALK there or to the ISLA MUJERES FERRY which is right around the corner from this beach. The beach you can see from the rooftop is right at an amazing bar and restaurant (Puerto Santo) right on the beach!
Literally a two minute drive from our house is the Ultramar Ferry which takes you to our favorite island, Isla Mujeres, which is the reason why we bought in our neighborhood. It's a great island with amazing beaches, tourist shops, restaurants, bars and - my favorite - fantastic inexpensive massages right on the beach they were 600 pesos ($30) in June 2023). You can rent a scooter or golf cart and tool around the island on golf carts and scooters. A blast!
2. Is it safe? Completely safe. Our home is in a gated and guarded community which has guard service 24 /7. Look up the location on google maps or Google earth to get an idea of where we are. Search "13 Cuenca, Bahia Azul, Cancun". That is our street. We also have smoke and CO2 detectors in the home.
3. Can you arrange airport pickup/dropoff work?
Yes, we have worked with the same transportation company for years and are happy to arrange your pick up. You will need to pay for the transport when they have dropped you off, but we can arrange it as a free service and get you a quote before your arrival so you are prepared. You will leave the terminal and they will be there to pick you up with your name on a placard.
We will show you the best Hotel Zone beaches, bars, grocery stores, gas stations, the Isla Mujeres Ferry (only a two minute drive away) etc. He can help you get tickets to all of the tourist destinations...Lory, the property manager lives right in the neighborhood if you need anything.
4. Do I need to rent a car or a van? Is it difficult to know your way around Cancun?
Definitely not! You will have the GMC Terrain at the home for use FOR FREE for all supply needs. You can pick up taxi's right outside our neighborhood if needed for any reason at the front gate. You can also pick up local busses very close by and the actual big out of town terminal is a quick car or taxi ride away.
It used to be very difficult to get around if you didn't know your way through Cancun's streets. GPS has completely transformed a foreigner's experience in Cancun now! I just changed this FAQ in June 2024. I usually answered that I always rent a car because it is just easier to get around. Now it is just the opposite. I spent 17 days in my home doing tons of upgrades which meant trips all over town before I got the car. I went to the hotel zone several times, Home Depot, Puerto Juarez, the bus station, took the bus to Tulum, Playa del Carmen, etc. I spent about $150 total on cabs and the bus and the experience was so easy. Cancun is now perfectly mapped out on GPS which is huge because the majority of the city was built very spontaneously so it is very confusing at first. Of course, MOST TRIPS IN TOWN ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE WITH THE FREE USE OF THE GMC TERRAIN.
We are a hop, skip and a jump to the Cancun bus station. These busses will get you to anywhere for incredibly cheap. We went to Tulum on this last trip and paid $6 - it's like a two hour drive. And the bussus were SO niiiice! Brand new....air conditioned.
If you have a huge group and just don't want to split the group to ride in several drivers at a time I can understand renting a car or van. Otherwise, forget the car...save the dough to eat at cool places or go on excursions.
5. Is there food and groceries close? Yes, Lory will make sure you know how to get to grocery stores, Walmart (best place for beer and liquor), Costco, Sam's Club, etc. Remember, however, that this home is in a real Cancun neighborhood. It is not in a resort. There are two small local restaurants outside our gate which serves local fare and is very good and inexpensive, food trucks and a little breakfast place. Puerto Juarez is down the street with restaurants, but in general you will need to grab a cab or hop in the car, at least, if you plan to eat out. There's lots of suggestions they can give you.
Everything about this luxury large group or multi-family 5 bedroom property feels like the perfect location for a Cancun Vacation. Our daily rate is incredibly inexpensive which includes the car use... an amazing bargain as a jump off point to the Hotel Zone, Isla Mujeres, Downtown Cancun, and an easy link to Bon-Am-Pok, the road to the Riviera Maya hotspots like Xcaret, Xel-Ha, Chichen Itza and other Mayan Ruins. No other place offers this in Cancun.
INCREDIBLE LOCATION:
1. This five bedroom home is a five minute drive to the beginning of the Hotel Zone which is also where the stunning Puerto Cancun Mall is.
2. Two minute drive (twelve minute walk) to the Isla Mujeres Ferry on Puerto Juarez...the original Cancun. The island is like a full vacation on its own. Stunning! Great bars, restaurants, gorgeous beaches and the ability to scooter or golf cart all over the island.
3. Five minute drive to the AWESOME PUERTO CANCUN MALL. We spend a huge amount of time at this mall when we visit. Great shops for very inexpensive clothes. We come home packed. But the real reason is the absolutely incredible upscale restaurants (Italian, Mexican, Japanese, French, Seafood and Steaks) and the outdoor food court and bar. Much different than the food courts at home. BEAUTIFUL and right on the water...awesome for a meal or a drink at night and so close to the house.
4. Five minute drive to the bus station for out of town trips.
5. Property is in a completely safe gated development of Bahia Azul with 24 -hour security and a great international community.
