One store in Puerta Maya, Cozumel, Mexico have huge signs in them that if you break an item, you will pay for it.

There is a signage that says: "Beautiful to look at, lovely to hold. If you break it, consider it sold."

There is also a Spanish translation for it: "Bello para ver, agable para tocar,. Quien lo rompe, lo tiene que pagar."

So, I warned my daughters not to touch anything at the store. I will not mentione the name of the store for free marketing but you will find out when you get there. The store is located at the middle of the Puerta Maya terminal mall.

They have a donkey in front of the store.

The beaches at the Faro Ceralain Ecopark is exclusive only to paying customers. And, the mangroves on the side of the road is so thick that nobody can penetrate it easily. These are just like fences to the park.

Your belongings are safe here but still take necessary precautions by bringing your locked key and attach your backpacks to some posts, etc. Or have someone watching your stuff.

Don't bring your expensive and valuable belongings when you go to the beach. Leave them in your hotel on a safety deposit.

At the ecopark in Faro Ceralain in Cozumel, Mexico, there are signs that warn visitors and tourists to not throw their cigarettes along the way because this might cause fire and destroy the forest.

In Cozumel, the mangroves were planted close to the beach area to protect their wildlife like the turtles, iguanas, birds, etc. The mangroves act as green belt to the area. In fact, when you are driving to the eco-park, which is also a beach park, both sides of the street are thick mangroves that are like fence. There are also other plants there that sometimes during the summer season, they get dry.

Throwing cigarettes on the street will ignite unnecessary fire and will destroy the flora and fauna of Faro Celarain.

Bringing food to the Faro Celarain Ecopark is not allowed. There are restaurants at the resorts inside the park like at the La Plaza Heromosa. Make sure to eat first before you head to the ecopark.

When you rent a jeep to tour the island you have to fill vehicle before returning it. The gas attendants will crowd around the front of the gas pump so that you can't see the amount. They must not clear off the last amount and we used $10 of gas, they said that they put in $60. It is only a very small island. They tell you which pump to drive up to. Make sure you look to see that the gas starts at 0. We had no choice but to pay up. Cheers

Hly hell the sun was strong when we were in Cozumel as well as it being incredibly hot. Fortunately we had applied sunblock with an SPF of 110 and wore hats. Even with sunblock I was a little pink on the arms.
