Located approximately 65 kilometers north east of the city of Mérida and 30 minutes from Progreso, Telchac Port is a port town in the Yucatan Peninsula. Its location makes it just far enough away from the denser population areas so that it keeps a special, slow, laid-back atmosphere.
This place has many convenient services, including the five star Reef Yucatan, private beach homes for rent, stores that offer groceries, vegetables and fruit, a bakery and several seafood restaurants, a small market and clinic, pay phones, a tortilla place, a harbor that has a gas pump, a hardware store, fried fish stands and much more. Although there are no banks here, you can find a town plaza shaded by beautiful trees and a park with a children's play area. One of the most attractive places to visit is the Mayan temples of Xcambo, three miles inland and a lighthouse on the small seaside walkway. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this place features quite good restaurants. For delicious seafood lunches it is worth visiting Bella Mar restaurant, about one mile east of the village. The ceviche, fried fish, shrimp cocktails, and fish filet are all superb.
During July and August, the main plaza is particularly dedicated to folklore as the fair is in town with stands offering foods, knick-knacks and mechanical rides. There are many family homes for rent during the off-season months, which goes from September to June. The Patron Saint of Telchac is San Diego de Alcala and the festivities take place in November. To get to Telchac Port by car, you should go towards Progreso and go east when you reach the beach. Or you can go to Motul, and head north to the beach from there.
Telchac Port is widely known for being small, slow and quiet, a place where you will find its inhabitants very friendly and polite. Being such a small village, you will feel at home quickly. The beaches are wide, sandy and perfect for walking. They are not packed with fishing boats, lots of tourists; break water sticks every twenty feet and all-pervasive houses like in other places. Swimming is good all year round. The water is safe, clean and with no rocks, currents or ebb tides around. This destination is for those people looking for a private and calm place to enjoy a pleasant stay.
A recommended place to stay in while visiting Telchac Port is Las Tunas, a comfortable home owned by the creators of the leading tourist guide of the state of Yucatan "Yucatan Today". This home in nestled amongst some 400 coconut trees and sits on a large, large beach front property on the Gulf of Mexico. It is separated from other homes – here they have no wall-to-wall neighbors. Set off the beach tourists will have a magnificent view of the pool, dune and the Gulf. The home features ceiling fans and AC in the bedrooms, for an additional cost. This is not a stark rental property, this is a home with sofas, chairs and beds that will make you feel at ease and comfortable during your stay.
Another option is staying at the Reef Yucatan Hotel. The Reef Yucatan All Inclusive Hotel & Convention Center is located on the virgin beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, in the area of Nuevo Yucatan. Less than 50 minutes to the Merida's International Airport, this is an all-inclusive resort nestled in an ecological area surrounded with pre-Columbian history. This resort has been designed to take care of the needs of both the international and domestic traveler who wishes to spend his or her vacation in a different way, while enjoying the comfort that can be provided by this five star complex. The hotel features five star accommodations consisting of 147 spacious rooms, 1 Junior Suite, and 1 Suite; all decorated in rich Mexican textures and floorings with a Yucatan Peninsula influence, enhanced by the exterior simulating a Mayan Village.
The resort has guest rooms for 1 to 4 people. The rooms feature king size or two queen beds in all rooms, balconies or terraces, ocean, pool, and garden view, air conditioned, satellite TV, and telephone. Services include all meals and snacks, unlimited domestic drinks, cocktails, wine, beer and liquors; recreational activities such as kayaking, ping pong, pool and tennis courts; nightly entertainment, and all hotel taxes and gratuities.
Among the resort’s facilities, we can name its 147 air-conditioned guest rooms with private terraces, the beach snack bar and pool, the lovely beachfront palapas, chaise lounge and towel service, tennis court, and a spectacular children's club, including mini-theater, soda fountain, arts and crafts center, secure playground, giant sandbox, wading pool, and TV room. Furthermore, the resort has a game room, a multifunction indoor theater and stage, a convention center with capacity for 600 guests, disco and video bar, a main buffet restaurant serving international cuisine, a snack bar for light fare, a boutique and gift shop, and mini golf, among other facilities.
