We love that town. We visited friends there once. But I don’t have any recommendations. Sorry.
Hi Dan and Qiang;
May you both be doing well. Can you recommend any accommodations in Puerto Morelos, Mex.?
We very much enjoy your informative you tube videos. We just became members.
Thanking you in advance.
Wishing You Both All The Best,
