Picante Cruise
One of our favorite ways to relax, if we aren't by one of our pools, is an afternoon spent on the Picante. They have 4 different cruise options on their catamaran to choose from. You can't go wrong with whichever you choose. Food and drinks supplied from their fantastic crew from the minute you board! Give the spinnaker flying a try, you won't regret it.

Bear's Taxi Service and Adventures
The card may say Taxi on it, but Bear is so much more than that. His real name is Anselmo, but his old soccer buddies call him Bear. With a rack on top of his taxi, he can take you anywhere you want to go or help you with all of our luggage. He even helped us with the dresser that is in the main bedroom! Our biggest adventure with Bear took us all the way to Patzcuaro for 4 days. He made sure we saw all the sites and never felt lost in a new area.
His English is great and he is a wealth of information. Send him a WhatsApp and he will be there!
