Q & A
What would you have changed?
I would have come at a different time.
Anything go wrong during the trip?
Some hostels in San Cris are not well managed. Avoid the cheapest ones you find on booking . It did rain for 2 days like crazy in Mazunte my kitchen got overflooded cos of a small hole in the wall. I rented a scooter that died on the second day because the battery was out.
How was the food?
San Cris Loving hut Tok tok wok La Xangarra Palenque Don Mucho's Zipolite/Mazunte Chiwi's Gecko creperia Azúcar Morena Arena Negra
What tips would you give a friend?
Avoid sitting on the sand directly it might not be so clean there is a common bacteria that might affect your butt's skin.
Packing tips?
Mosquito spray and all food or medicines that makes your tummy strong against parasites.
Transportation Tips?
Colectivo or shuttle bus. Taxi for short trips into town.
Any surprises?
Some bookings havent been made by the hostel ( san cris ) so its good to have verifications and a personal message from them or a plan B
Booking details?
For Mazunte and Palenque On booking its more expensive if you can its better to come to the hostels and ask them
