Most of the damage is near the highway.. we were in Mayan Riviera in Cancun...
The whole cancun stripe with hotel was pitch black, no llights nothing...Police everywhere directing traffic...
We got out just in time.. There was a "tropical storm" warning, it was raining pretty hard for 1 day..

There was nothing to see...
All the hotels were still standing tho, lots of broken glass tho...

It was in Mayan Riviera, about 35min from Playa De Carmen

It was called Bahia Principle...
I think Ryder_23 stayed there aswell before...

The Moon Palace is the shit. It's soooo wide, there's so much stuff to do too. I don't think I ever really left the resort, everything was all-inclusive. I mean EVERYTHING. We just walked into restaurants, got food, and left (sometimes with tips depending on what kind of restaurant it was)

Moon Palace=:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Still, that damage is crazy! Doesn't seem that anyone was hurt though, right?

I just got back from Cabo San Lucas...that's on the peninsula on the other side of Mexico...B.C.S. When we came back there was a *FIFTY DEGREE* temperature change in the shitty direction. Pretty much inhumane.

Having been to the Mayan Riviera side too, I'd have to say it's a lot nicer on the side you were just on [IMO]. Did you go to Chichen Itza, Xel-Ha or Tulum? Or you just chill out at your resort? I especially enjoyed Cozumel ... some really nice snorkelling there.

Nice pictures BTW.

Nice pictures BTW.

We went to Tulum, some town about 50Km away from the coast, with the large piramid...

Tulum was pretty sweet, long walk tho..
We also did some shopping inside cancun, but there was not much to see at night...
Take it the weather was really nice? did you guys get any rain?

Chichen Itza is about 3 hours by Bus to the West of where you were staying. Tulum was really nice when we were there. The water was nice shade of blue and it was pretty neat. Cozumel was awesome. If you didn't go, next time I suggest you do. You can catch a Ferry across to it from Playa Del Carmen.

Xel-Ha is also close if you like to snorkel it's essentially a huge inlet. Really amounts to a cool water park but there are all kinds of neat fish there and the water is really easy to swim in. Very clear and not that deep.

When we were in the Riviera side, yes, it rained. We had about 10 days straight of pure sunshine! The couple times it did rain though - it rained hard. On our recent trip to the Baja, it rains less than 80mm per year there [mostly in Winter], so no, we didn't get any rain.

you should have rented the sketchy bikes from the natives. We went on a tour there, we went with a bunch of italians, watching them going up and down the pyramid was pretty hilarious
