El Cid Vacations Club Spotlights One of Mexico's True Gems

QUINTANA ROO, Mexico, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The city of Puerto Morelos continues to enjoy steady growth, according to the CEO of the Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau, Jesus Almaguer. El Cid Vacations Club notes that Puerto Morelos is fast becoming one of the nation's most popular cities for many reasons.

Situated in the State of Quintana Roo on the Yucatán peninsula, Puerto Morelos is a mere 20 miles from two other better-known cities: Playa del Carmen and Cancun.

Mr. Almaguer pointed out that the key role the city plays in the growth of the region, stating, "We are proud to continue expanding Puerto Morelos' already robust tourism offerings. The constant evolution and innovation of tourism attractions will help Puerto Morelos solidify its international presence as one of the most popular tourism destinations in Mexico. We are certain this new attraction will provide visitors with an additional incentive to keep coming back to Cancun and explore its surroundings."

El Cid Vacations Club points out that Puerto Morelos became Quintana Roo's 11^th municipality late last year after merging with another nearby village. Now on a growth spurt due to its large shipping port and scenic locale, Puerto Morelos is a key international trading port known all over the world.

Sometimes considered the quiet neighbor of Cancun, Puerto Morelos was a central shipping and trade center from the 1920s to the 1950s, but since then it has built a reputation as a serene little outpost in between two of Mexico's better known resort towns. The last 5 years, however, have seen a renaissance of sorts for the friendly town of Puerto Morelos, as visitors have come to appreciate its glistening beaches, authentic culture, and hospitable residents. El Cid Vacations Club notes that Puerto Morelos officials are officially putting out the welcome mat for businesses and travelers.

The city's reef is one of the best in Mexico for snorkeling, features hundreds of species of fish, as well as sea turtles, eels, lobster, and rays. The local produce market and craft center are key features of the locale's charming character; and the botanical gardens offer a 150-acre wonderland full of animals, exotic plants and very friendly monkeys.

El Cid Vacations Club reminds visitors to Mexico's easternmost beaches that Puerto Morelos is a must-see. It is a growing city that has managed to maintain its old-world charm without giving in to the temptation to over-develop. Local government officials are working hard to make sure that the authenticity of Puerto Morelos is never lost, and that every visitor is welcome.
