A
burst
of
orange
comes
over
the
horizon,
it's
an
almost
fluorescent
orange
for
a
short
amount
of
time
and
then
it
dissipates
into
a
humid
hot
day!
There's
a
mild
relief
when
the
sun
is
behind
a
fluffy
cloud.
My
partner
and
I
stayed
for
7
nights
in
the
Beachside,
Beachview
Studio
Suite
and
every
morning
was
so
picturesque.
I
would
just
lay
in
a
lounge
chair
on
our
front
stoop
and
watch
the
sunrise,
then
Ernesto
would
come
by
with
breakfast!
It
was
always
a
beautifully
made
fruit
plate
with
some
pastries
and
jam!
Ernesto
is
a
very
friendly
and
helpful
host!
He
likes
to
communicate
using
What’s
App,
so
be
sure
to
have
that
on
your
phone.
Make
planning
your
trip
to
Mayambe
Private
Village
easier
by
putting
his
number
in
to
confirm
the
booking
48
hours
in
advance!
Choose
to
come
to
this
establishment
vs.
the
hotel
zone
to
experience
authentic
Mexican
culture!
It’s
easy
to
get
around
using
the
Colectivo
as
it
runs
up
and
down
Punta
Sam.
Hail
it
down
with
an
enthusiastic
wave
and
give
the
driver
10
pesos.
If
you
go
south
from
Ernesto’s
place
walking,
there’s
the
El
Meco
ruins
13
minutes
away
and
it’s
fun
to
explore
for
55
pesos.
So
many
iguanas!
We
took
the
Colectivo
down
the
Punta
Sam
to
the
OXXO
and
got
basic
stuff
to
make
sandwiches
and
a
bunch
of
snacks
(there’s
a
mini
fridge
in
the
room)
And
many
beverages!
Water,
ice
tea,
soda,
beer
ect
as
it’s
all
very
affordable
here
and
you’ll
be
so
damn
thirsty
all
the
time
haha.
Then
go
to
La
Palapa
Beach
Pescados
y
Mariscos
for
wood-fired
pizza
if
you’re
around
in
the
evening
(no
pizza
until
5pm)
because
it
is
phenomenal!
(We
went
twice!)
Getting
back
to
Mayambe
is
not
obvious
from
the
outside
as
there
is
no
sign
so
we
waited
to
see
Flamingo’s
restaurant
and
after
it
and
basically
yelling
‘Stop
Por
Favor’
gets
you
in
a
position
to
jump
out!
(It’s
safe
and
the
locals
are
friendly!
Now
you
know
it’s
easy
to
navigate
around
from
there!
It
was
a
struggle
of
mine
to
figure
out
how
to
use
the
local
transportation
by
using
the
internet
having
never
been
there
before)
(Also
if
Expedia
offers
you
the
drop
off/
pick
up
service
to
and
from
the
airport
do
it!)
There
is
a
familiar
scent
and
layout
to
the
room
we
stayed
in.
Very
cottage-like.
Simple
comfort.
The
A/C
in
the
room
works
awesome
for
night
sleeping
and
midday
retreat
from
the
hot
sun!
The
wifi
works
super
well!
We
streamed
South
Park
to
watch
on
the
phone
in
the
evening.
The
water
pressure
in
the
shower
is
great!
The
knobs
can
be
tricky
temperature
wise
though.
The
bed
isn’t
the
most
comfortable
to
sleep
on
but
once
you’re
up
and
moving
for
the
day
you’ll
be
fine.
The
sore
neck
will
dissipate
after
a
dip
in
the
ocean
outside!
There’s
a
lot
of
seaweed,
but
it’s
not
that
bothersome.
The
water
temperature
is
great
to
relax
in
and
if
you
ask
Ernesto
there
are
kayaks
you
can
take
out
for
an
adventure!
The
door
to
this
room
is
a
bit
of
a
hassle
to
open
from
the
outside.
It
annoyed
me
because
I
had
to
angle
my
arm
to
push
the
door
in
and
use
my
elbow
off
the
wall
to
force
myself
in.
I
found
myself
wishing
for
a
door
handle
of
some
sort.
All
in
all,
very
pleased
with
the
vacation
we
had
here!
Very
happy
to
have
chosen
this
place
as
a
home
base
for
our
adventure
to
Cancun.
I’d
chose
this
place
again
to
give
tourism
income
to
an
individual
rather
than
a
hotel
corporation!
Great
spot!
