On the topic of plants… A couple of weeks ago, we told you about the plant peddlers who bring their wares to Puerto Morelos throughout the year and set up to sell in La Colonia. (If you missed it – the post is HERE) Well, I brought home a few new leafy friends (because clearly, […]

We all have a serious sweet tooth at the office — guilty as charged! And we’re just as passionate about a well-made pizza. Imagine our delight when we found out about Atelier – where you can find both scrumptious baked goods AND great pizza, all in one place and all during the course of one […]

A few years ago, online shopping in Puerto Morelos wasn’t exactly easy. Being a lesser-known spot, some gated communities or streets didn’t even show up on Google Maps. Take Veredas del Puerto or Selva Escondida, for example — all you’d find was jungle in google maps! But now, our beautiful little town is growing (cries […]

Let’s Talk Rattan: Nature’s Gift to Coastal Living Rattan is a naturally growing vine-like palm originally native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia, but in Mexico — especially in areas like Yucatán and Quintana Roo — it has found a perfect home thanks to our climate, lifestyle, and appreciation for artisan craftsmanship. In this region, […]

That is, until one day the Caribbean breeze had other plans and sent my towels flying! Thankfully, someone close to me gave […]

Life’s a beach… until the sand follows you home! Life near the beach is all fun and games—until you come home and realize that no matter how much you shake off, that stubborn sand still tags along. It ends up in your car, your living room, your rugs, and yep… even your mattress! But let’s […]

If you’ve been around for a while or are new to town, you’re probably on the hunt for fresh, top-notch products. Maybe it’s for that weekend BBQ by the pool, or a relaxed dinner at home. This spot offers an incredible variety of quality proteins! Whether you’re a seafood lover, a meat enthusiast, or both, […]

No more sweater weather in Puerto Morelos! The heat is officially here, and we’re pretty sure that if you’re in town, you’ve already noticed (and so has your CFE bill, jk). Surely, if you’ve been to the beach on a Sunday, you’ve noticed that many people set up their picnics on the sand, with almost […]
