Photo Post: Puerto Morelos Throwback Thursday II

11. February 2021 · Comments Off on Photo Post: Puerto Morelos Throwback Thursday II · Categories: Beach Reads The Blog

We’ve been going through our voluminous photo collection from almost 20 years of Puerto Morelos history. For the next few Thursdays, we’ll share some of them with you.

For this edition, we go way back to when we first arrived in Puerto Morelos.

This is a view looking north, towards Cancun back in 2002. A few resorts have been built since this photo was taken.
This apparently abandoned resort was north of town back in 2002.
Back in 2003, the Pelicanos pier was a little longer and had two parts.
The view in front of the malecon in 2003.

We are taking bookings NOW for next winter.
Another view of the Pelicanos Pier from 2003.
Our first fishing tournament in 2003. We could not believe how our sleepy village came alive for the annual tournament in May. So many people and boats!
This was our greeting back to our friends in Canada for our first Christmas in Puerto Morelos. I cannot explain my hair, except that it WAS very windy and I had not found a local barber yet. I can tell you that we were delighted to spend Christmas in our new town, without snow!

We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane. We’ll post another set of photos next Thursday.

Photo Post: Puerto Morelos Throwback Thursday

We’ve been going through our voluminous photo collection from almost 20 years of Puerto Morelos history. For the next few Thursdays, we’ll share some of them with you.

For this edition, we focus on signs. How many do you remember?

2007: Marlin Bleu was a great restaurant operated by our friend and next-door business neighbour Eric. Originally from Paris, Eric has lived in Puerto Morelos for many years and made scrumptious shrimp tacos and other delights. Eventually, he gave up the restaurant to focus on his own tour company. The space is now occupied by Dona Triny’s.
2010: Next to Eric’s Marlin Bleu was L’Oazis. It was run by Flavio & Martine from Quebec. They stayed at our Casa de los Viajeros right after Hurricane Wilma and fell in love with Puerto Morelos. Next thing we knew they had moved here and opened this restaurant, which was originally a cafe called Caffetto. They served many dinners and were very popular, but eventually, they sold. The space is now El Nicho’s.
2009: Que Hora Es was the bar in the Posada Amor hotel. Posada Amor was one of the oldest businesses in Puerto Morelos. We stayed there when we were scoping out the town in 2001. The space is under renovation now. We are told it will be a Mexican Market/Food Court.

We are taking bookings NOW for next winter.

2014: This was a fish restaurant on the north end of Rojo Gomez.
2014: A very colourful candy stand on Rojo Gomez, across from Taninos. It is still there, but I think they sell cigars etc.
2019: Our Puerto Morelos sign disappeared this past fall. We think city officials might have taken it to safety because of our busy hurricane season, Hopefully, it will return soon.

We hope you enjoyed our trip down memory lane. We’ll post another set of photos next Thursday.
