A: Based on a recommendation from my guide there, UBER is your best bet. They are inexpensive and you won’t get taken for a ride, which some taxi drivers will do. You know the route and how much it will cost beforehand, no games.

A: We just took a taxi from port to Romantic Zone last Tuesday. It was $20 for 2 people. (not sure if that’s just average price?) It would have been more like $14 if we were willing to wait for a van to fill up with other people.... Then we got an Uber back from the Malecon to Walmart, across the street from the cruise port. It was 189 MX, so about $7.50 / $8.00 USD. There were lots of taxi drivers around though. They’ll ask you if you have a ride yet - no problem.See More

A: Las Caletas don’t forget water shoes. The sand can be a bit rough.

A: We did the zip line adventure and had a blast!!! My kids were 20, 17 and 13. It was a longer drive then we expected but it was worth it, then they drop you off downtown to do some shopping if you want.

A: walk out to the street and grab a taxi. agree on the price before you get in. go to the Romantic Zone and wander. great restaurants and shopping. walk the malecon. taxis will take dollars but you get a better price if you have pesos

A: There wasn’t a lot of shopping right in port next to the ship. I had a wonderful massage right at port. You can walk to Playa de Oro- Gold Beach. It’s apparently a 10-15 minute walk. We haven’t done that yet but might next time. I’ve seen on You... Tube how to walk there. There is a mall and Walmart close by across the street.See More

A: There is the shopping area at the port and then just outside and across the street is a mall. There is an excellent area south of the port, maybe a 20 minute taxi ride, called Centro. We went to a chocolate museum there and made chocolates to take ho... me. There was also a beach, shops, and restaurants. very walkable area.See More

A: Take the taxi into town, it is absolutely beautiful to walk around. Huge beach, shops, churches, places to eat, bursting with colour and photo opportunities. Do it, you won’t regret it
