This is a coastal city put on the map by a number of Canadian and US snowbirds. The town sits on the north side of the Yucatan, 30 minutes from Merida, facing the Gulf of Mexico. We arrive mid day and thought the town was deserted. There were a few restaurants along the beach road and the usual local vendors. We drove behind the main beachfront road to explore a bit more. We were surprised by all the homes either for sale or rent, one after another. Some appeared to have been vacant for years. We checked out a few hotels that seemed to be in some form of deterioration and settled at the best place in town. Hotel Yakunah was a bed and breakfast paradise! A slight splurge for us but worth every penny. It’s an elegant home that is remodeled to perfection in every detail. Swimming pool, dining area outside under the palapa, great continental breakfast, a piano, good wireless connection, air conditioned and the bonus TV w/cable.
The town is like most coastal towns; in a constant battle with the wind and salt water air that seems to accelerate deterioration at a rapid pace. The beach was nice and the malecon is decent. We hear the Canadians love this place which is good for them as there seems to be an abundance of beach front property for sale.
