Traveling with pets has drastically changed in recent years. Maybe ten years ago it was either very expensive or uncomfortable to travel with your four- legged companions. These days, traveling with your pet has become more common and accepted in the tourism industry, not just by hotels, but also travel agencies, restaurants, and many destinations around the world. Here are five pet-friendly locations in the Mexican Caribbean where you can share memories with your furry best friend.
1. Cancun
Cancun has been one of the top vacation spots in Mexico for a long time. One of the popular pet-friendly hotels on the strip is Aloft Cancun , which features a view from the lagoon, a rooftop to watch the sun set, and of course, comfortable rooms for you and your pet. The hotel is centrally located in Punta Cancun, so guests can take their pups for a walk to Cancun’s best sights.
For a more refined experience, the all-inclusive Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun is perfect for couples without leaving your pet behind. The resort offers canine travelers an exclusive bed, a drinking fountain and other amenities to spoil them.
2. Isla Mujeres
Just 20 minutes from the mainland by ferry is this tropical destination like no other. Isla Mujeres is an easy day trip, but guests can also opt to stay overnight in one of the island’s charming hotels. The pet-friendly hostel like Selina Isla Mujeres offers private rooms, plus a hip beach club and morning yoga.
3. Playa Del Carmen
For stays longer than just a weekend you should try Playa del Carmen. Feel at home within its surrounding neighborhoods and plenty of cafes and restaurants in walking distance. Hotels like Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen, Thompson Main House or The Fives Downtown offer a chic pet-friendly stay close to all the action.
