Carlos Antonio’s guide to explore the Riviera Maya’s hidden spots

Our extended family reunion in Cancun was a long-awaited event, with a group of ten flying in from all over the world. Carlos Antonio greeted us with a large van, perfect for accommodating our group and all our belongings with room to spare. His friendly and patient behavior instantly made us feel like we were in the best possible hands for our holiday in Mexico.

Over the next few days, Carlos Antonio became our guide to Cancun’s rich cultural side. Certainly, his service was not limited to driving us to the beach and back to the hotel. At our request, he arranged visits to Mayan ruins at Tulum and Chichen Itzá, providing insights and tips that allowed us to experience the sites in a meaningful way. We appreciated his flexibility, as he always adjusted plans to suit our pace, especially with the elders in our group needing extra time.

On the third day, when the kids needed a break from sightseeing, Carlos Antonio found a hidden cenote where we could all cool off and enjoy a private moment away from the crowds. His understanding of the region’s geography, combined with his easy-going nature, improved our family holiday in a very distinctive way.

By the end of the trip, everybody in the group was so happy with the work of Carlos Antonio: from my elder parents-in-law to the youngest of the party, Danny, aged only 8, didn’t hesitate to ask for his help whenever they needed anything, which he provided every step of the way.
