John Gray’s Grill 14 looked like it had already shut last time I went through town–short-lived. But I hear he has opened a location downtown, called…John Gray’s Downtown.
Unfortunately, the excellent Museo de Arte Folklorico in the hotel zone is slated to close soon and move to Xcaret. No details on a precise date for the move, but if you’re going to Cancun soon, be sure to check it out.
Writing about Puerto Morelos is hard–it seems like new restaurants open there every month. Here are the major changes:
Marlin Bleu is shut.
Dona Triny’s has moved into the former Marlin Bleu spot, on the plaza.
Bodo’s has moved out of Hacienda Morelos, into a space on Ninos Heroes, opposite Posada Amor.
Mama’s Bakery has moved a little bit south on Ninos Heroes.
Thanks to Rob and Joanna at Alma Libre Books for the news!
I’ve filed all the old update notes under “1st edition,” paving the way for the new edition, now available in stores for your winter trip planning.
If you’re planning a shorter trip focused on the Riviera Maya (the coast from Cancun south), check out the trimmer Cancun & Cozumel Directions, a new edition released in October.
Sadly (and typically) one restaurant is already shut: El Manati on Cozumel. Too bad–it had a good bar scene too.
Los Cantaros (p. 158) is shut.
Tuti Fruti (p. 158) is shut.
Hola Primo (p. 159) has been rebuilt in cinderblock. Maybe I’m just nostalgic, but it doesn’t seem as tasty…
Cetli (p. 159) had been closed, but now it has reopened, on Calle Polar near Calle Beta. Great food, sweet owner.
