Just north of Cancun, the island is approximately 7 kilometres long and 650 metres wide and offers heavenly stretches of beach. Bordered on one side by the Mexican Caribbean and the other by a wetlands wildlife preserve, the vibe in Playa Mujeres is one of laid-back luxury in a natural, untouched landscape. And it’s not a pain to get to, it’s an easy ride from Cancun airport.

Airport transfers: exit the airport, do not stop and chat inside with anyone saying they are supposed to pick you up and take you to your resort inside the airport. These people are trying to sell you time shares. Head straight out of the airport to find someone holding a sign with your tour operators names on it. They will have your name on their list and direct you to the correct transfer to your hotel.
Using taxi’s in Mexico: if you will be taking a taxi to get around, negotiate the flat rate before getting in or you may get a surprise when you arrive at your destination.
