We've been there about five times. We used to like the hotel at La Punta Cancun because it faced the ocean and the gulf on two sides.......great snorkelling off the rocks to the South accross the channel. The Hyatt next door had the best fish shack ever.....you picked out the fresh fish and they cooked it however you wanted......great service, and great people.

We have also stayed down at a place near the town where you take the boats to Cozumel....just beautiful.

did you live there or just visit in winter?

Oh the place you took the boat to Cozumel..was that Playa Del Carmen or Puerto Moreles? Both are very nice.

Yes, I know where you mean up at the point. We stayed there when the hurricane (Gilbert) attacked our place. I love the Entero Frito Grouper there, and swear before I leave FL I have to make it here. There is a moratorium on Grouper here tho until Jan. They are being fished out. Not my fav fish, but fried in deep fat whole it's the nuts.

We only went there when we could get away for a week or two, or yearly vaca's. We still have many friends living at the same condo, and some followed us to FL and bought homes here, and still go to both places.

I got tired of the pain of international travel after awhile. It was four a hour trip from Boston..and took from early morning until evening to get there. That was before 9/11. :(
