Paradise is forever
Saumur-based Celso Flores hopped over from France to visit family in Monterrey over Christmas. Before returning to his PhD studies, he diverted to the Riviera Maya where he spent four days and nights at the breezy Cabañas el Mirador in Tulum.
"The region is recovering," Celso writes, "suffering but recovering."
"The Cabañas el Mirador is one of those little paradises, where one can get back to basics (a hammock, sand floor, no electricity or running water). US$10 dollars a night for your own hamaca. The owners, Maria and Humberto, also hail from Monterrey.
"In short, a great place to encounter some very interesting people."
The beach looks in pretty good shape, too. Many of the beaches around Tulum actually gained a few more metres of white powdery sand with the passage of Wilma.
In downtown Cancún, Celso stayed at The Mayan Hostel.
