We only use Cancun as a place to get on the ferry to Isla Mujeres. Will be there in a month. Thanks for the heads up.

I will be flying in there headed south to Riviera Maya... I have never felt unsafe there or any other place in Mexico but that does not mean things cant happen..

Dang sorry I'll miss you! I've gathered some good intel from the Isla Mujeres trip review thread. Do you have anything to add?

If you want fantastic cheap authentic Mexican food eat at Basto's and order the flank steak. I can't wait to go back.

Visit Punta Sur and walk the trails down to the water. It's beautiful and some of the wildest water I've seen. Serious washing machine stuff going on down there.

Thursday is cheeseburger day at Soggy Peso and they're damned good cheeseburgers. Sunday is ribs and if you want them you have to get there before they open to get an order in.

We did an excursion to the bird sanctuary island and enjoyed it.

I'll think of more.

Love Isla. Been a few times. Had local deckhands that worked for my wife's uncle take us around and we hung out at locals spots at night. It was awesome and interesting and a couple of times a little scary. My BIL is a big dude so they didn't mess with us. Some of those frickers get drunk as a mofo on that tequila
