Sian Ka'an Tours – The Authentic Yucatan
Twelve habitats comprise the 1.3 million acres of Sian Ka’an and with a human population of only 2000, visiting the reserve would allow you the chance to experience one of the few remaining vestiges of unspoiled earth. In 1986, the land became part of the UNESCO ‘Man and the Biosphere’ program, an attempt to “integrate … Continue reading
New Cancuncare Website Goes Live
It’s been a long time coming, but the old and tired looking cancuncare site has had a huge makeover at last. It had got to the point that I was actually embarassed how it looked and was reluctant to add new material, partly due to hating the look and also because the navigation system was … Continue reading
Cancun before and after videos
Dean has come and gone and to be honest it was nothing worse than the storms we get here every month or two. Sat there waiting for something to happen and it didnt, it hardly even rained. The new blog we ran though was an oustanding success – around 120,000 unique vistors in less than … Continue reading
New Hurricane Dean Cancun Blog
Well it looks like we are on the verge of another biggie. Rather than fill this general Cancun blog with endless hurricane posts I’ve started a new blog specific to the situation. The situation is developing all the time so I intend to make updates several times a day at the new site: Please visit my Hurricane … Continue reading
Hurricane Dean set for Cancun?
The first major storm of the 2007 hurricane season looks to be upon us. It’s still way to early to tell whether Tropical Storm Dean (soon to be Hurricane Dean) will affect Cancun at all, let alone score a direct hit. But after the devastating Hurricane Wilma of 2005, it’s one that all in Cancun are keeping … Continue reading
Temptation Cancun – new name for Blue Bay Getaway
I’ve known via the grapevine for a little while but today I noticed that on the official Blue Bay website that they have a banner running announcing their new name “Temptation” Cancun which will take effect in December 2007. I find the choice of name a little strange as it seems that the hotel have … Continue reading
Fat Tuesday in Cancun Open Again
Last August I made this post concerning the famous Fat Tuesday closing down. I’m pleased to see that it has now reopened but at a different location. The manager emailed me a month or two ago to let me know and invited me for a daiquiri there, so the least I could do was tell … Continue reading
Sea Lice in Cancun
Every year, between the months of March and August, Cancun is affected by a phenomenon called “sea lice”. These little beasties are not lice at all, rather they are the microscopic larvae of the thimble jellyfish. The larvae get between your skin and your bathing suit and cause large red welts to appear that itch … Continue reading
Oops – no posts for 3 months!
Looks like I’ve let things slip again. I thought I’d better get a couple of entries in before the end of the month as it’s been 3 months since I last updated. I’ve said it before and, no doubt I’ll let things go again, but I am going to try to post more often. The … Continue reading
New Mambo Cafe to open in Cancun Hotel Zone.
Word on the street is that Mambo Cafe the popular downtown Cancun club which features live salsa bands and dancing is to open a new venue in the Hotel Zone. Mambo has always been one of my favourite clubs in Cancun and I think the latest addition will work well, as long as it doesn’t … Continue reading
