Good to know

  • Late October is the tail end of the rainy season: short showers are common, and we watch the forecast with you.
  • Kosher kitchens like a day or two of notice, so we order as soon as you confirm.
  • In the quiet season we confirm the Shabbos minyan with Chabad before booking.
  • You need a valid passport. Mexico’s entry form is done at the airport.
