Reservations rebound for summer

Repuntan las reservaciones para el verano[+] Ver mas


The Director of Tourism reports that hotels have reservations for ~75% of their rooms during the summer holiday months of July and August.  This season in Isla Mujeres is enjoyed particularly by tourists from Mexico, the US, and Canada. They are attracted by the beautiful beaches, restaurants, various bars, and variety of activities on land and sea. The Office of Tourism will continue training tourism service providers. Reservations are expected to increase in early July, since many people plan their vacations at the last minute. Occupancy during summer vacation is expected to reach or exceed 80%, which is beneficial, although the highest occupancy rates occur in the winter season when they can reach nearly 100 percent.

Sat & Sun June 22 & 23 : Super Full Moon (6:50, 7:50, & ~hour later nightly)

Super Moon of June: The biggest brightest moon of the year
This year the Supermoon will be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical Full Moon is. This is a result of the Moon reaching its perigree — the closest that it gets to the Earth during the course of its orbit. During perigree on June 23 the Moon will be “only” about 221,824 miles away, as compared to the 252,581 miles away that it is at its furthest distance from the Earth (apogee). Source link

 Lolo Lorena Dinner    Jun 23, 2013, 9:05 AM
I am sitting here this morning still in awe over dinner last night! I love writing trip reports so I will do one later when I have a computer and not just my phone...but I had to do this now. The meal was incredible! Someone gave her crab just before we arrived so we had one extra course of crab legs! Woo-who! On to risotto with 5 cheeses, seared tuna with a cucumber salad, main entree of chicken with potatoes and veggies and a piece of fried chicken skin with sea salt that was amazing! Dessert was a platter of dainty samples: grapefruit, passionfruit, strawberries with Ginger and mint, a shortbread cookie, grilled pineapple, mango sorbet, and a chocolate mousse. Oh, and a mojito too. We brought our own wine , as she instructed. One of the best meals I've ever had!! Lolo is a delight! You can just get a sense of her gentle sweet spirit right away! I had to hug her when we left! :) I feel extremely lucky to have experienced this and we will definitely come back next visit! Lolo is leaving soon for her two month vacation so her last meal is on Monday.
We're having such a great time here!!

 Isla Mujeres Scholarship Group.   High School is not free in Mexico. The cost is approximately $50 per month and on an island where the average daily wage is $8, this can be a huge strain for some families.   We have matched up people who travel frequently to the island of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, (Islaholics) with students on the island to provide financial assistance for high school and college expenses. Many of our students not only excel, but have gone further with their education than they ever dreamed possible.   As sponsors, we are proud to help such deserving students and watch them succeed. The relationships that are formed between the sponsor family and the student family result an enhanced cultural understanding and a rewarding friendship.
