explore puerto morelos
Puerto Morelos is a Mexican port town on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is between the Riviera Maya resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, but retains some of its original fishing village character. To get here, simply fly into Cancun and take a 20 minute car ride to Puerto Morelos.
The Puerto Morelos Reef National Park has many offshore dive and snorkeling sites. Along the Ruta de los Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes known as cenotes, including our favorites: Siete Bocas, Zapote, Maravilla, Verde Lucero, La Noria and Popul Vuh.

Beach Clubs

Generosa Litton and Leslie Marder
Originally from San Francisco, California, Generosa Litton and Leslie Marder have been visiting Puerto Morelos since 2017. In 2021, we and our kitties, Django and Luna made Palmares 203 our first home in Puerto Morelos. We look forward to hosting you and sharing the wonders that this town has to offer.
Location
Palmares 203 is located on Avenida Rafael Melgar on the port side (beach) of Puerto Morelos. It is on the same street as Layla Guesthouse and across from the Secondaria school. We recommend using USA Transfers to get here from Cancun airport. Just provide "Layla Guesthouse" as the destination and inform the driver to drive about 300 feet more where you'll see a white building with a sign Palmares 8-02 to the right of the entrance.
