Cancún Q&A

We're visiting Cancún for a couple of days and I'm looking for something to do today with my family. We're staying in the hotel zone and can easily get to other areas. I've heard conflicting stories about what's happening in Parque de las Palapas tonight.

I've been a Canadian retiree in the Hotel Zone since 2021, enjoying fishing and beach life. I've had a prescription for alprazolam in the past, but after the DEA restrictions, I couldn't get it renewed. I need it now for panic attacks, but I'm worried about getting it seized by customs.

We're flying into Cancun on Dec 20th and staying in the Hotel Zone with a 20-month-old. We need a transfer service that can guarantee a rear-facing car seat.

We're looking at booking a 2-bedroom swimout at Royalton Riviera for spring break with our family of 5. I found out that booking through Marriott is 2k cheaper than booking directly through Royalton's website. I'd like to know what I'm missing here, since rooms are available on both sites and the rooms seem similar.

We're staying at the Cancun Bay All Inclusive Hotel and want to book some excursions for our 10-night stay. We're interested in visiting MUSA, seeing turtles, and going to Islas Mujeres. Can anyone recommend a good tour operator or two to consider?

I've been looking into taking the Tren Maya from Cancun Airport but I'm having trouble finding reliable information on the shuttle options from the airport to the train station. I've heard that there's an official shuttle that runs from Terminal 2 to the train station, but I've also been told that it's not well marked and that taxi drivers are trying to scam people.

I'll be traveling with a senior who has had some heart troubles in the past, which are controlled via meds. We're staying at a major all-inclusive resort in the hotel zone. What happens in case of an emergency? Do hotels have a protocol and any decent hospitals nearby? Just want to be prepared.

I'm trying to book a day on Selvatica zipline for my family who is visiting Cancún for the holidays. The link on their website is broken, but the website still works. Does anyone know if they are still operating?

I'm heading to Cancun and need to know which delivery apps and stores have low-carb protein nutrition shakes and vitamins available. I'd also like to know if I can get a blender from my hotel to make scrambled eggs.

I've been to Cancun at the end of August/early September twice, twice in April, at the end of September and beginning of October, and in March on a cruise. I'm going back with my family in mid-to-late November and want to know what to expect.

I was at Kukulcan Plaza last week and noticed that all the restaurants listed as open in January are actually closed. I'm also wondering if the Soriana Super grocery store will still be open in December.

I'm planning my first trip to Cancún during Christmas week for 9 days. My plan involves staying at four different hotels across three areas: Cancún's Hotel Zone, Isla Mujeres, and Akumal. I want to explore as much as possible while still having time to relax. Do you think my itinerary is too packed? Would you recommend simplifying it or keeping it as planned?

I'm an Argentine who visits Cancún a couple of times a year, and I'm planning to book a stay at RIU Palace Kukulkan with two friends. We'd like a room with two beds, but the hotel can't guarantee it, so I'm looking for advice on how likely we'll get our preferred room type.

I'm planning a trip to the Yucatán Peninsula and would love some advice from people who have visited the area. I'm trying to decide whether Mérida offers a better overall experience, considering its culture, architecture, food, and nearby attractions, compared with Tulum.

I'm planning a trip to Cancun in January, and I'll be staying in Akumal at the end of my stay. My flight back home is at 7 am from Cancun airport, and I'm looking for the fastest and most affordable way to get there. I don't want to take the colectivo because it would take too long.

I'm considering booking a room at Riu Peninsula Hotel in Cancún and I'm wondering if it's a good choice. I've heard it's newly renovated and close to the nightlife and downtown area. I'd also like to know if the food and drink options are good and if there are any nearby restaurants and stores I can walk to.

We're planning a trip to Cancún and want to visit these ruins, but my friends have food allergies and I'd rather not eat off property.

I'm a frequent traveler to Cancún for work and to see family, and I'm planning a relaxing break with my partner in December. We're looking for a mix of convenience and local exploration, and we're considering splitting our 10-day trip between Costa Mujeres and Isla Mujeres. We'd like to stay in a hotel in Costa Mujeres for 6 nights and then move to an Airbnb on Isla Mujeres for 3 nights, but we're not sure if it's worth visiting both places given their similarity and proximity to each other.

I've heard mixed things about what's allowed in Mexico, and I'd hate to get in trouble. I take these supplements to help with sleep when I travel.

My wife and I are going on our honeymoon this month and we're planning to visit Cancun. We want to explore the city beyond the resort area and visit Playa del Carmen. Can you recommend some local activities, such as boat/yacht trips, jet skiing, or local tours?
