We recently had a very nice(but chilly at times) vacation in your area. I purchased some art at a local shop upstairs above the gym I believe. Somewhere I missplased this artist card with his name.
If it wouldn’t be to much trouble could you please send me this info. Grazias

This is the most perfect vacation destination ever, I am still in awe with it’s beauty and serenity, I can’t believe I ws swimming in this bay.

Snorkelling off the shore with Sea turtles, sting rays and sooooooooooo many fish….. and the shrimp tacos are amazing at the Lol HAh. Thanks fot the great tip to try them there. I had them twice. We both fell in love with this bay and the people. We’ll be back next year. We stayed at the Royal Golden Bahia Akumal Principie, but my heart was here the whole time. And thanks for the web cam, I can be back in a flash when I need a quick break.
