We have 2 very important pieces of news that are going to have an impact on your vacation.

First, the good news… We are in GREEN again. Green is the best colour we can be on the stoplight system and we have explained it once before in a previous blog post. Click here for details.

The government has issued a chart explaining the restrictions, but basically, almost everything is open to 100% including the things that are really important to you like bars, beaches, restaurants and public transportation.

For the government’s, details click here.

Second, the inconvenient news. The city is about to finish resurfacing the roads and sidewalks around the downtown core.

Beginning today, the city has announced that they will close the other half of Rojo Gomez and reverse the traffic flow on the completed side. The road behind the church (Avenida Niños Héroes south) is closed and soon the road in front of the lighthouse (Avenida Rafael E. Melgar) will be as well.

It will be great once they are finished, but in the meantime (and we have no idea how long it will be), we will have to deal with this inconvenience. If you are a tourist driving in town, we recommend sticking to Avenida Niños Héroes (going north of the square) and Avenida Rojo Gomez (going south of the square) and you will be fine.

Keep up to date with all the changes in town by subscribing to BEACH READS.

And if you would like to stay with us, contact us today. We have openings as of March 27th, when hopefully the road work will be done.

Last night one of your favourite Puerto Morelos hangouts was turned into a movie set.

Cantina Habanero was used in the filming of a scene in the upcoming movie “At Midnight” by Paramount Pictures.

The film stars Monica Barbaro, Diego Boneta, Whitney Cummings, Anders Holm, Catherine Cohen, and Casey Thomas Brown.

The romantic comedy is directed by Jonah Feingold.

“At Midnight” is a romantic comedy about two people who do their best not to fall in love, Alejandro (Boneta), who lives a predictable life, and Sophie (Barbaro), a rising movie star with an unreliable celebrity boyfriend. During a visit to Mexico (this is where Puerto Morelos comes in) to shoot scenes for her new movie, Sophie falls in love with the hotel manager.

You can read more about the movie here in Deadline and here in Variety.

This is not the first time Puerto Morelos has been used as a location. Our picturesque village has been featured in several TV shows, music videos and commercials. You can see more here.

Starting February 7th, we are back in Yellow again after two weeks of being at the orange light on the Covid stoplight scale.

Our Governor, Carlos Joaquín, tells us that the contagion rate in our area has dropped significantly. Also, he says our hospital occupancy is way down as are the daily new cases. The Undersecretary of Health in Mexico also confirmed this downward trend.

This version of Yellow is a different shade than last time we were under it. Occupancy restrictions have been eased, and now everything can be open at 85% capacity. In this blog post, we went into greater detail about what all this means to you and your vacation. Everything seems to be the same as it was, except instead of the 60% capacity limits, we are now at 85%.

We encourage people to continue to wear masks when around others and to continue to social distance. Have a great stay in Puerto Morelos!
