MayanPalace Great Club and Fun!

The sand, sea, and sky—among other things—are the reasons why visitors flock to Mexico every year. Nevertheless, everyone, including you, is required to be a conscious traveler. You need to know the dos and don’t’s, as well as what to do, once you are already in the country.

Here are 6 important tips to remember when you are traveling to Mexico:

1. Get your state registration certificate ready. One of the easiest ways to travel to Mexico is by crossing the border. However, before you can even succeed on that, you have to ensure that you have your state registration certificate with you. It is a proof that the vehicle is yours or leased, not stolen. Otherwise, you will not only get in, but you will also be turned over to U.S. police.

2. Be specific when you are booking for a hotel. There are several gorgeous hotels all over Mexico, including the MayanPalace. But they offer different kinds of world-class accommodations to their guests, such as a beach front or an ocean view. When booking, therefore, you need to specify where you want to be. Keep in mind that a beach front does not necessarily mean that you can have the most captivating view of the ocean.

3. Buy bottled water. It is highly recommended that you only drink from bottled water, besides getting yourself vaccined before travel. A lot of Mexico’s places do not have water purification systems. That’s why, too, it’s encouraged that you stay in a hotel such as the MayanPalace, since it has the facility to give you drinkable and clean water.

4. Take a bus. There are various modes of transportation that are available in the city. One of these is the bus. It’s very cheap, punctual, and convenient. You can choose between two classes: first class and second class. Nevertheless, since there’s only a slight difference in price, you might as well go into first class, where you will be served with snack and drinks.

5. Coordinate with a travel agent in MayanPalace when you’re physically challenged. The infrastructure that you can find in Mexico is not comparable to that of other countries. Thus, several of its establishments are not physically challenged—friendly. If you want to travel to Mexico despite your physical condition, it’s wise to coordinate with a travel agent so he or she can tell you the best places to stay and visit that could be comfortable to you.

6. Know the weather. Different parts of Mexico experience a different kind of weather. For instance, in Mexican Riviera and MayanPalace, the weather remains warm and humid the entire year. It’s a completely different story when you’re in Central Plateau, where the elevation provides colder wind. When you know the weather, you can have a good idea of what to bring.

Most of all, like any traveller, keep your camera with you at all times. Mexico still remains one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and you don’t want to miss anything.

Situated on four miles of beachfront along the Gulf of California, the 184-unit MayanPalace Puerto Peñasco Mayan Resorts brings a new level of luxury to one of Mexico’s most rustic sites. Located in the northern state of Sonora, Puerto Peñasco is a picturesque fishing village just 60 miles from the U.S. border. Also known as “Rocky Point,” Puerto Peñasco has recently begun to be developed and Grupo Mayan is leading the way.

In addition to the wealth of traditional amenities you’ve come to expect from Grupo Mayan, the MayanPalace Puerto Peñasco features an 18-hole, Nicklaus-designed golf course, two tennis courts, an outdoor Olympic-size swimming pool, an indoor pool, Health Spa, Fitness Center and more. Dining and entertainment opportunities abound with Bakal Restaurant, Balche Snack and Pool Bar, the Lobby Bar and Lounge, an entertainment center with video games and a cyber café.

As MayanPalace Puerto Peñasco grows, se does the infrastructure supporting its growth. The first phase of a new International Airport Del Mar de Cortes in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora will be completed in January, 2009. This state-of-the-art facility will have the capacity to serve two 737 jets and 10 executive aircrafts simultaneously. In 2009, a new 30.6 mile highway, being constructed by Grupo Mayan, will run from the Arizona border directly to the new airport and the MayanPalace development.

Just a three-hour drive from Phoenix, Puerto Peñasco is the closest shoreline to Arizona. It is becoming an increasingly popular destination for tourists and new residents alike. Some 40 new real estate developments and nine golf courses have been built within the past few years or are currently under construction.

Grupo Mayan’s new resort at Puerto Peñasco will also offer whole ownership in an innovative selection of vacation homes, villas and condominiums overlooking some of the most alluring waters in the world! Stay tuned for more information as site planning and development progress.

Grupo Mayan had made the decision to demolish the 15-year-old Acapulco MayanPalace and rebuild new units to meet current MayanPalace standards. In order to accommodate Members during construction, we first built a new Acapulco MayanPalace on the golf course just 400 yards away while the existing MayanPalace was being rebuilt.

Acapulco MayanPalace will be completed in winter of 2008. At that time, the existing MayanPalace will be demolished. After reconstruction you will be able to enjoy rooms and suites that will be 50% larger than existing units, featuring luxurious furnishings and high-quality finishes. Just as we did with the MayanPalace Puerto Vallarta in 1996, we are undertaking all improvements at no extra cost to Members.

Grupo Mayan is the only company in the industry to have ever done this, providing our commitment to maintaining the highest vacation standards for our members for generations to come.
