Puerto Morelos is an ideal place to go for those who want to spend a quiet beach holiday without all the glamour of Cancun or Playa del Carmen. The well-developed tourist resort offers a variety of amenities, but is small enough to be crossed from one end to the other in a walk of about 15 minutes. In the region, Puerto Morelos is nicknamed “La Joya del Caribe”, the jewel of the Caribbean.
