Boutique Hotel | Progreso Beach | The-Mayan-Gypsy-Event-Venue

The Yucatan Peninsula

If you are looking for a beautiful & non-touristy getaway, we invite you to beautiful Progreso Beach, Yucatan! The closest airport is the Merida International Airport (MID). From there it is an easy 40-minute taxi ride straight through Merida city and on to The Mayan Gypsy, in Progreso Beach.

Many visitors also come by way of Cancun (CUN). From the Cancun airport, you can often find more affordable and direct flights, but you will need to get transportation to Merida, (4 hrs) via ADO bus or a direct shuttle. The ADO buses are nice, with comfortable seating and AC. Email us if you are interested in more information on the Cancun travel route to Progreso.

LOCATION: Progreso Beach, Yucatan is a quiet, humble fishing town. Although it is only a few hours west of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum etc., it is not like those touristy places yet. Progreso is more for the quiet adventurer, who can enjoy the “real” Mexico. Many “snow birds” visit here every winter to escape the coldest months back home and enjoy Progreso for its affordability and authentic charm. The local Mayan people are humble and honest and the area is very safe. In fact, Merida has been in many magazines and articles, such as this FORBES article here and HERE and a few other articles to check out below as well:
