El Rey is one of the most important archaeological zones on the island of Cancun. Although it originated as a small settlement in early times, it reached its most important growth stage until the late Postclassic (1200 - 1550 AD). According to investigations, it is believed that El Rey and nearby San Miguelito formed the nuclear area of a town dedicated to maritime trade and fishing activities.

"Tulum is the most emblematic site on the Quintana Roo coast due to its privileged location and the excellent conservation of its buildings and mural paintings. Its wall delimits the main complex on its north, south and west sides since the eastern sector faces the Caribbean Sea; It has five entrances and two watchtowers.
Sources from the 16th century designate the site as “Zamá,” which in Mayan means “morning” or “dawn.” The name of Tulum is relatively recent and translates as "wall" or "palisade," alluding to the wall that is preserved here."

“Puerto Morelos is a Mexican port town on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It’s between the Riviera Maya resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, but retains some of its original fishing village character. The Puerto Morelos Reef National Park has many offshore dive sites. Turtles breed on coastal beaches. Inland are freshwater sinkholes including Las Mojarras Cenote and Verde Lucero Cenote.”
Great for a day trip for water activities or for a relaxing afternoon at any of its beach clubs.
