What to do in Puerto Morelos
Location, location, location. Vacationers looking for an up and coming destination—one with low-key, traditional charm and without the glitz, pulsing nightlife, and spring-break crowds of other popular Caribbean coastal cities—should look no further than Puerto Morelos. Located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, just 20 minutes south of the Cancun airport, Puerto Morelos is a gateway to all that Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer, yet it remains blissfully a world apart.
On a Friday night, the small square is filled with local families rather than tourists. There are no trendy nightclubs in which to dance until dawn, and high-end jewelry shops and boutiques are nowhere to be found outside of the most expensive hotels. You can leave your fancy clothes at home.

I will be going to Puerto Morelos in July. Seeing that our hotel is a bit out of the way we are considering renting a car for the time we are there. Has anyone rented and driven in the Cancun/Playa del carmen areas? If so, how was it?

My boyfriend and I are going to Mexico for new year and trying to decide where to go. We are flying into Cancun and are considering Puerto Morelos or Playa del Carmen. Ideally we want somewhere that isn't ridiculously touristy but has the option of a bit of nightlife if we want it. Would Puerto Morelos fit this? I get the impression there aren't many bars but just a few would do! We aren't looking for a completely 'get away from it all' location but somewhere in between. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
