- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- This week we visited Puerto Morelos, an adorable beach town just south of Cancun. We loved the vibe, the lack of any big chain stores (except for Chedraui, which was actually great to have) and obviously the food. If you've been to Puerto Morelos before and have any travel tips or favorite things to do while you're here, let us know in the comments!

So glad that you got to my town, and loved it. Get back here soon! Cafe Layla is always amazing.
It really is!! ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely town! You guys are doing a Tremendous Tourism job for Mexico! God knows, how I wish and pray 🙏 to spend some time there, even Retire there, if possible! Love ❤️ and respect you guys for being Honest and Truthful about wherever you travel in Mexico. Mexico has been given a bad rap which prevented me when I was a young man from visiting that beautiful country with such humble and kind people. No doubt, like any other country, it has its negative elements! Now that I am a much older man, I regret not following my instincts in going there! One day. God willing! Keep up the Great Work! Blessings always 🙏!
Fell in love with you guys and you’re channel. It’s amazing to experience Mexico with you. Puerto Morelos is definitely a gem to keep in mind. Lovely vibes
❤️❤️❤️
I spent a month there when I turned 50. Loved it. It has probably changed quite a lot since then. WOw it has changed so much! for the better! Would love to go back
What a beautifully told story about Puerto Morelos. I am going there in a few weeks to SCUBA dive for my 60th birthday. I could not be more grateful to have found your tips. I am hoping to try many of the recommendations you made. I am also glad to see there is a Chedraui, because I can stock up on Mexican spices and products I can't find in California. Thank you, Thank you Thank you for highlighting this beautiful town.
Puerto Morelos has been on my gotta visit list for a while now. After watching your tour, it’s first stop as soon as we get to Mexico. Thanks! Hasta luego. ☕️
Enjoyed the video so much. Thanks for the tips.
Thoroughly enjoyable guys! Thanks for taking me along!
Back in 2017 I considered living in PM, sight unseen. It does look really nice. I never got there but traveled around and then settled in CDMX, which I loved, for two years.
You always brighten my Thursdays! Gracias!
Love your recent addition of internet speeds! Thanks for including- super helpful for those of us working during our travels.
You guys are amazing!
Thank you for the tour.
That's an amazing place.
I'm heading that way. 😀
Will be staying at an all inclusive a few miles away next week. Just started doing a little research today on the area. So glad I stumbled on your guys video! Very well done!
Hey David and Travis, I really enjoyed your stay in this very charming place and David I hope you get to try out snorkelling very soon. It's a really great way to see life under the sea!! Happy travels!! 😘
Thank you! My wife and I are looking at homes in Tulum, but PM looks like the perfect, sleepy little beach town. Thank you.
Thank you for showcasing our beautiful little town. Unfortunately this year has been quite rainy but that is not the norm. There is lots to do in this area so plan some more time here on your next visit. La Colonia is amazing and you can easily spend some days up here. Enjoyed your video very much. ❤❤❤
Wow!!! We totally missed this one. We passed by it twice, definitely will try to go there
I appreciate you two continuing to share your journey with us. Keep on doing great things. Wishing you two nothing but the best! Stay Blessed💕💕😇😇💕💕
❤️❤️❤️
1st of all, I LOVE your channel name lol so catchy 😊 Awesome video, I just subscribed to your channel!
just lovely
Hahaha I know that part of the shining 😂😂.
As good as it gets is my favorite.❤
Mahalo from Honolulu Hawaii, enjoyed your reporting or story telling.❤️🤙❤️🤙❤️🤙❤️
Awesome! Keep it up!
I'm going in August...looks wonderful
I think this is your 100th video boys! Cheers! Keep it up! - Besos, JJ
You two are great. 🍻
love your Mexico travels what a beautiful country thanks for showing us all these gems
❤️❤️❤️
Great town… I was torn between Merida and Puerto Morales but I think you have made up my mind! Will be there in 2 months. Thx for sharing. Free Agent From Washington DC.
My Cuentame coffee arrived a couple of days ago and I love not only the coffee but the packaging as well! I wish you guys so much success!! ☕️
Thanks so much for supporting!! ❤️❤️❤️
I loved Puerto Morelos and the restaurant strip. I was there about four years ago, looks like it has changed a lot since but looks like for the better. You can pronounce Chedraui, WAHOO!! 😅 Chedwowie, good one! I'm quite sure that coaster at 11:48 was made of sisal, I have four and love them. I think it's great that you left the puerto and visited the puebla. PM has changed a LOT since I was there! I have a funny story about my transportation to PM from Tulum, remind me to tell you at our next meet-up - Anne
I'm new to your channel and really enjoyed this -- thanks! Especially appreciated the vegan tips. (It's hard to find travel videos that don't have a ton of close-up shots of meat, so thankful for that too, haha!!)
They charged y'all double from the airport 😂. Been gh.
Love your attitudes and love for everyone!
Moving to Puerto Morelos next year!
God bless you both!
I really loved this place. Thank you as always.
Us too! Thanks so much for watching!!
After traveling around Mexico all winter,I ve decided , I’m not a beach girl, but I do love Puerto Morelos. Sssh, keep it quiet 🤫
Love this little town! Been once and it was amazing 🙂. Thank you for showing it! Your videos are so enjoyable! But why you didn't mention their famous "falling" lighthouse 😉
Going there in January, as well as Isla Mujeres. I miss you both sooooo much.
Siiiii fresh cafe con leche :)
We love you guys in Kansas Gracias for your great videso :)
❤️❤️❤️
Happy to see you made it to our sleepy fishing town. We love it here, not into the busy crowded towns like cancun and playa del Carmen. Only 20 minutes from cancun Airport. We love love it. We live in the colonial area, gated community Selva Escondida where you can find rentals for 400 usd and up with great amenities and workable WiFi. Next time you are in town you need to try the vegan lasagna at MEM AL MARE right behind Chedurai 😋
Vegan lasagna?! Yes please!
Gerri, how did you find your rental in Puerto Morelos? Agent? FB Group? Walking around? I just left Playa for Merida, but missing the beach already and PM looks amazing!
@@biancat.6155 first month through airbnb then walking, riding around, and talking to people. We now live in a gated community on the colonial side and love it here
@@gerritdendekker1844 Awesome, thanks!
@@biancat.6155 let me know if you need any help finding a place in the colonial area
You can google Selva Escondida in P.R. they also have TH-cam videos
I just got back from Puerto Morelos and watched your video several times before arriving. It's so nice to re-watch and reminisce on this adorable town! To the right of the juice bar (10:32 point in this video), there is lovely abuelita that sells tacos from a basket, cannot recommend enough!
oh wow - we'll have to find that abuelita next time!!
Thanks for doing this! I'll be there in a villa in April. Can't wait! Now I need to check out your coffee :) **EDITED** Just ordered some coffee!
Aw thanks so much!! Let us know what you think of it when it arrives!!
You guys are so cute.just found your channel...love your name Café con Leche!..have not been to Puerto Morelos but plan on visiting..Great video..went to Merida many years ago and loved it..will go back in the winter..have you been to Mahahual? Heard it was lovely too..
What's your favorite part of Puerto Morelos? Let us know what we should check out next time we are here! ✈️
Hey Guys,
Jim and I met you in Valladolid, last March while we were all waiting for a non-existent Video to play! Sorry you are moving but happy for you both! Loved seeing your take on Puerto Morelos, because I actually bought a condo there in May ( not built, quite yet!) I'll be living there part time and the rest of the time in my home in DC. I'm very excited. I will be around the corner from Layla's , which has awesome empanadas! There is also a great English book store in the town and a locals market on Wednesday. I considered Merida and also Valladolid, both awesome places. Decided to grow old in PM because of it's beach vibe and ease of getting there. Wish me luck!
Hey Sally!! So good to hear from you and congrats on the condo!! That's such wonderful news!!
Love the place.
I really like your videos and the music is fantastic!
Thanks so much!
@@TravelWTravis Your production valued are sooooo on point. Can I ask if you do the editing and music beds or do you mostly just do the filming and contract out the other stuff to a production company? On a different note, I'm currently in Madrid but want to be able to spend winter months freely in Mexico, and today the Mexican Consulate in Madrid approved me for Temporary Residency. Part Two of the process will continue once I arrive into Querétaro at the end of March. I'm so psyched!
@@goldvideo ah congrats!! So exciting! And yes, we do all the filming and editing ourselves (the editing is all Travis, although it would be amazing to have a production team!)
@@TravelWTravis Wow -- SOOO profesional. The music beds are amazing and the editing is as well.
Kudos to you guys y que tengáis un buen finde 😃.
Hi David & Travis!! just grabbed my membership. I have been following your channel for over a year now and I love your adventures. I lived in Playa Del Carmen 4 years ago and now arriving in Merida to live on May 8th, 2022. I did however just get a house/pet sitting invitation there in Puerto Morelos that will be from late May until August. The owner is going back to Canada to help a friend out with a hotel opening. This video is perfect timing and I really enjoyed watching it. I am definitely going to check out Layla's guest house for some fruit drinks and Vegan Pizza!! I also just watched your Progresso beach tour also.
Ah thanks so much for your support!! And hope you're having the best time in Puerto Morelos!!
enjoyed your video, I was there last year for a day trip, awesome beach town, what was the B&B you stayed at?
I just subscribed and see you settled in Merida. Can you do a comparison video sometime of the two? Curious if you could you see yourselves settling down in this smaller town?
My heart is with Mayan Riviera bc of the bounty of green + rainforest. It’s too dry, less green in other coastal areas of Mexico for me, i just loove the trees everywhere on the coast here 💜
If you haven’t already you should visit Akumal next time you head to PdC or Tulum. My partner and I also recently stayed in Espita for a couple days at the beautiful Casona Los Cedros and highly recommend it for an amazing weekend away. Love watching your videos.
It’s on our list for sure!
Is beautiful
You guys need to come to my city La Paz Baja California Sur México
Puerto Morelos looks amazing. I hope to see it in person someday. I first became aware of it on another Mexican travel channel. The couple was based there during 2020 with very limited travel due to the pandemic, of course. They generally seemed to love it there, but said they would not stay there again year round due to the heat and humidity in the summer. On a different note, I've been snorkeling at Garrafon on Isla Mujeres years ago and remember copious amounts of beautiful, colorful fish. So, I would expect along with reefs, you might see some similarly stunning fish when you finally get a chance to snorkel in PM.
I'm a Tangerini too! 😃
Hi guys. First, I love your videos so much and I have learned a great deal about Merida. My husband and I are visiting next year, and each year after until we retire in 2028.
My question is this: What do you think of Progreso beach? We think we will love being so close to it.
P.S. David, I am a HUGE fan. When you sang Beautiful, I had chills. As well as Overjoyed. I love me some Stevie Wonder. You’re so talented.
Love your videos. Please keep them coming. You’re such a beautiful couple ❤️
Funky little town….I wanna go! Hey guys….I’ll show you the Pescadero / Todos Santos section of Baja Sur !
You make me want to move to Mexico.
Are you kidding, that pizza looked so great!
It was!
Live you two! You always seem to find the best places to stay. Do you have a recommendation for staying in Mazatlan?
Oops meant love you two! And you're live too lol.
Haha thanks so much! We haven’t been to Mazatlán yet, but we’ve heard great things!
This looked divine boys!! We need to add this one to our list. You had us all the way until, I saw that Alligator sign WTH!!! David don’t fall for it. I wonder how’s the weather in the summer, is it like PV? Hopefully, the summer’s are doable unlike PV.
We have been in Puerto Morelos since 3/2/2021 and call it home just finished our temporary residency visa in USA need to finish the 2nd part at the INM Cancun this month
Summer here is 85-90 degrees humidity in the 80s but you have the beach and AC beach clubs where you pay 1200 pesos for a bed and 800 pesos of the 1200 is credited back to use for food and drinks
That's funny......."a town we NEVER wanna leave". That we LEFT early. Come on guys.......run from rain. Your Mex cred is dropoing......lol I give you a few points back for taking the lame duck bikes. lol Salude'
I wish you guys mentioned the prices were you eat and stay
30 minutes from Merida? It takes me that long to drive across my city.
I wonder what it's like during Spring Break?
It looks like everything a beach lover wants/needs.
Did you realize you were smiling the whole time?
Haha yes we couldn’t stop smiling! But it’s actually 30 mins from Cancun / Playa del Carmen - it’s about 3.5 hrs by car from Merida, sorry if that wasn’t clear!
Missed you Saturday and now Thursday. Que pasa jovenes?
Hi guys. You went in February? How was the sargasum?
Can u find rentals beach apts or houses in o Porta moreles
It looks like a beautiful little town. Is it rainy season there now?
It shouldn’t be! 🤷♂️
Hi David and Travis we’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while, in fact we went to Playa Del Carmen for Dental bc of you two. We’re planning a trip to Meredia in April and would like to know do you think a hotel or an air bnb is the way to?
Hey Tai - thanks so much for the support! As for Airbnb vs. Hotel, it just depends on what you’re looking for, how long you’ll be in Merida, your budget, etc. We mostly opt for airbnbs when we travel because we cook at lot (when we’re not filming places to eat) and that saves us $$, but there are some super cute and charming hotels in Merida, so if you’re not wanting to have a whole house/apt to yourself, then there are some great options. Hope that helps and you have a great trip!
@@TravelWTravis hey we’re watching you now lol. The episode is why this neighborhood is growing like crazy. We’re visiting to see if this in a 1.5 years will be home. Thank you for responding, we love y’all energy. It would be nice to see you two and others that we enjoy watching, and we’re going to do air bnb.
How long was your total trip? Did u fly into Cancun? Doing prelim Prepping 😂
Snorkeling that doesn't include the tourist crowds of the popular spots? And close to Merida?! I'm going. Thanks!
How far is all of video from EL Cid Ventus Ha?
On the high end, it's 900 for a year lease 😮.
Starts at 350. 😮😅
You gentlemen had me up until 'vegan'. LOL. Yeah I adhere to an almost 100% Carnivore way of life but seriously I love you guys (and I'm as straight as an arrow!) and your top-notch presentation here on my town (yeah it's mine!); which I will be visiting for a 4th time in under 2 years come June. You did a great job of capturing the 'essence' or "je ne sais quoi" that this Drinking Village with a Fishing Problem exudes!!!
🤣🤣 thanks for watching and jealous you get to claim Puerto Morelos! Have a great trip this summer!
Can you do us a favor and straighten out the leaning lighthouse?
🤣😂🤣
I love you guys!!! So, which did you enjoy more - Puerto Morelos or Tulum???
For us, it’s Puerto Morelos hands down. Totally different vibe than Tulum (which we also loved) but this place stole our hearts
@@TravelWTravis I agree, will be there next week! So thankful for all you have shared throughout your travels in Mexico.
Thanks for the tour. I was in PM 10 yrs ago and I looove seeing the size of it now. Lots more restaurant options and a big grocery store woot! Thks for showing this. I’ll have to get back and enjoy before it becomes too big like Playa!
Hello Dave hello Travis my name is Edward and I'm from Orlando Florida where I work as a chef at Universal Studios my fiance and I plan to move to Mexico by the end of this year and was wondering if you can give me some tips on good remote jobs
I'm surprised y'all don't live in a beach town. I'm considering spending a month in Mexico and I want a small beach town to visit. Any suggestions?
Depends what you’re looking for! Bigger like PV, or super touristy like Playa or smaller like Puerto Morelos or Sayulita. And there’s a ton we haven’t been to yet like Mazatlán 🤷♂️ Our favorite (so far) was Puerto Morelos, but that’s just us!
Was there a lot of sargassum there?
Yes, unfortunately it’s most places now
Just came back from there.. now i'm depressed
And how far is it from Merida Mexico
Over 2 hours drive.
Loved Puerto Morelos…. And the mosquitoes and no see’ums loved me!!!! I had to use so much calamine lotion ,looked like I was wearing pink socks.
Haha yeah, we got bit up a bit, too! 😬🤣😬
Correction to your video--10 peso is the collectivo inside Puerto Morelos. They have route 1 and route 2 and both make a circle on the beach area and then a larger one in La Colonia. Collectivo to Playa Del Carmen is 30 peso, but for those that do not know collectivos are for a small place to sit. Many are bench seating for short distance, some seats, but NO ROOM for baggage , or large purchases. You can carry a daypack is about all. PDC taxi is usually 600 peso now which you can bring baggage of course as you have the whole cab. If your coming FROM Cancun airport direct book a shuttle company online. Prices vary depending on time, season, and how many people. Just google cancun to Puerto Morelos transfers. There are 15-20 companies. Going back any cab will take you for 500 peso for the whole cab, or many know who will do it for 400 but they only can drop there, never pick up. Have to use an airport approved for leaving the airport.
Ah thanks for the info!
And the "Playa Express" goes from Cancun beside the ADO to PDC. I have taken it many times between PM and Cancun. 30 pesos per person from Cancun to PM. There is a good size baggage compartment in the back which can handle full-size suitcases.
@@mswhatmeworry Oh great tip! Thanks!
I recommend San Pancho, on the Pacific side of Mexico. Way better than this place.
Daniel Radcliffe, what are you doing here?
Bro how do I get weed out here
haha no idea
Morelos. Lol not Morelas. Love ya guys
