7 Activities for Rainy Days in the Mexican Caribbean

You’re in paradise looking forward to some good beach time, and… it’s raining! Say WHAT!? Is this for real? 🥴

Don’t worry: as your Local BeeFriend, we’re here to share with you  7 Activities for these Rainy Days in the Mexican Caribbean ☔️

Visit an underground cenote

Cenote Chaak Tun / Aktun Chen

We dare you to become a cave explorer for the day! We know it may sound out of the ordinary to offer a water activity during a rainy day, but UNDERGROUND CENOTES are perfect for these ocasions! As you may know by now, the Mexican Caribbean is home to the world’s largest underground river system (cenotes), and Cenote Chaak Tun in Playa del Carmen and Aktun Chen in Cancun are perfect options to visit on a rainy day! If you are going to get wet, you might as well go all the way 😜

🐝 loQsea Tip: if your kids are under 5, choose Aktun Chen over Chaak Tun for a safer experience. Remember you can always book your activity through our new All-Inclusive Vacation Rental Platform!

Go to the movies

Cinépolis VIP Cancun

Another option is to go to the cinema and adventure into trying some spicy popcorn! 🌶 

If you are wondering about the movie language… good news: most films are played in English with Spanish subtitles. Are you in Cancun? Check the billboard here; or maybe in Playa? We got you! 


🐝 loQsea Tip: try the amazing experience of Cinépolis VIP in Cancún (see pic above)! We can assist you with transportation and tickets. Ask us and just… relax! 😉

Visit a museum 

Mystika @ Tulum

You could also spend some time visiting one of the museums of the Mexican Caribbean!

Looking for an educational experience? Go to the Maya Museum (located in Cancun’s Hotels Zone) and discover many interesting facts about the Mayan culture and our ancestors!

But if you are curious about the “spiritual”, we highly recommend you Mystika, an immersive experience in Tulum designed to take you on a journey to connect with Mayan cosmology.

Pamper yourself with a massage

Why not take advantage of the day by pampering yourself with a day at the Spa? 💆‍♀️ The Mexican Caribbean offers good prices and amazing quality massages and spa treatments: Bric Spa or OKOM (for a full Spa day) in Playa del Carmen, Bamboo Hair and Spa in Cancún, and Animamente in Tulum are the people’s choice.

Enjoy a Mexican coffee or hot chocolate

When was the last time you took some quality time for yourself? What better than sitting in a cozy coffee shop with a good book and enjoying a tasty Mexican coffee or hot chocolate while watching the rain? 🤤 Here’s our selection of the Best Coffee Shops in the Riviera Maya and Cancun.

🐝 loQsea Tip: if you are in Playa or Tulum don’t miss the Mayan Chocolate from our favorite Coffee Shop Ah Cacao 😍 

Go souvenir shopping

Quinta Alegría Shopping Mall @ Playa del Carmen

Who doesn’t want to remember this paradise with the perfect souvenir? And what about not losing a beach day over it? 😎
