Helped us narrow down the good stuff during our 4 day visit to Cancun. My only complaint was the Isla Mujeres map was also not available for purchase so I had to rely on other online resources. Had I not had ph ok ne service /wifi we would have been hosed. But always fun to talk to others for recommendations.

I ordered the Cancún and Isla Mujeres maps for our first trip to Mexico and they were so detailed and helpful. The maps had everything from restaurants to shopping centers to beach locations. They never led us astray and were even more helpful to get around than some of the locals. Make sure you spend the small amount of money for these, you will not be disappointed.

The maps I rec’d were great. Though, I was trying to order the map that included Ek’Balam and Chichen Itza. The Google results led me to that map and when I clicked, it sent me to the Map Set. It was not part of the set I rec’d. Unfortunately, the set doesn’t include a description of the maps the are included. I rec’d the maps quickly. So, is the “adventure” map no longer available? Thank you.
Our response: Hi Debra,
I’m sorry, the Mayan Adventure map is sold out and not available at this time. Our Cancun map and Guide store page and website pages does show you what maps you get with the set, so I’m confused at what you’re looking at.
Here is the link on our store:
https://store.cancunmap.com/Cancun-Map-Travel-Guide-p/cancun-travel-guide.htm
And if you click see inside this map, http://www.cancunmap.com/cancun-map.html
I will email you this information as well in case you don’t come back to look at your review.

These maps are really clear and loaded with quality information. I have 2 books about Cancun that I purchased recently from elsewhere but I find the maps are much better at providing quality information. For me, they are a must buy to help enhance your travelling and holiday experience

I just purchased the 3-map set for Cancun and Playa del Carmen since that’s where we are going to be. I find them very helpful for finding my way around and to see what’s available for eating, etc. My only criticism is that sometimes businesses in Mexico, as elsewhere, change almost overnight–to wit: Yaxche, in Playa del Carmen hasn’t been there since at least last year and has been replaced by Guy Fieri’s. Also, the Kaxapa Factory, one of our favorites, is not listed and is, we hope, still there..
Our response:
This map was printed in 2016, so yes there will be some changes, we don’t know of changes until, #1 we go back or #2 customers, like yourself and friends tell us about changes so we can make an update list. Thank you for your comments!

We are using our 3 edition of Map Chick’s maps.
It makes sense when you invest good $ for a vacation that you keep up with the comings and going of restaurants and attractions. I especially like the detailed instructions and maps for visiting restaurants and markets downtown. We love to go downtown and we always need a little help pointing us in the right direction.

Thanks for the awesome maps! This is my second set of Cancun maps and I was hesitant due to still having the old ones, but the update is a huge upgrade from the old one and all of the data seems much more intuitive. Thanks and keep up the good work! A great deal for someone who likes to have a physical reference and not just electronic as most things are today. Thanks! Good work!

An excellent guide to explore Cancun. It gives prices for both the bus and taxis. It includes the best places to shop and eat, all the hotels in the hotel zone, best beaches, advice on safety.
The first map shows the hotels and beaches. I especially like the tips, such as using the bus and taxis, and the fares.
The second map shows the hotel zone, best restaurants and nightlife, as well as attractions and tours.
The third map is of downtown Cancun. It lists the restaurants, highlighting the memorable ones. It also lists restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Well worth the expense. Order well in advance. It took a month to arrive in Canada.

These maps are invaluable. I have purchased two different sets of these maps. One for Isla Mujeres and then this last set for CANCUN. They are phenomenal maps, the detail they contain is so helpful and needed when you are traveling to different countries. We loved all the suggestions for the different restaurants, attractions, etc. Everything was so much easier to find and navigate with these maps. I can’t say enough good things about them. I had so many people ask me where I got my maps and I told everyone where I bought mine. When we were on a bus in CANCUN my husband heard me tell another couple about these maps he said I should become a map chicks sales rep I’ve told so many people how good they are. We found so many out of the way great places to eat with these maps, great shops and markets, beautiful places for pictures, all because of recommendations from these maps. All I can say is I will never leave home without these maps.

We travel to Cancun and Playa del Carmen every year and have been using Laura and Perry’s maps for over 20 years. The detail included in these maps have proved to be invaluable in using the maps for planning purposes. We invite family and friends to join us every year and make it a point to purchase a set of maps to mail to them for planning purposes. There is so much to see and do in the Yucatan area and these maps are a required planning tool to make sure we take advantage of the sights and eateries.

We have bought these maps every time we go to Cancun because things change, and they change so fast. Old favorites disappear (the old Sanborn’s in the hotel zone, for example, that went away long ago) and new places pop up all the time. The maps are excellent and make it easy for even bad navigators to avoid getting lost, especially downtown which is, in fact, such a maze one should leave bread crumbs. Update for you all: They did open the famosa mystery supermercado next to Plaza Caracol. It is called Selecto. My desire: that you create and include a detailed “shoppers” map to go along with the restaurant one. Keep up the wonderful work, and if you ever need another staff person to check out Cancun for you … 🙂

These maps are great, we used them every time we left our resort. They have lots of information you wouldn’t know about without having the map, we found some fantastic beaches. Loved reading their reviews and information that was included on the map. We used it so much I can’t believe it held up as well as it did, we brought it back home with us but will order a new one next time we go. Shipping was quick. Thank You Map Chick!

Initially, I was hesitant to buy these maps for our trip to Cancun but turned out that these static maps were more valuable than my GPS enabled Iphone6. They were very easy to read and you could get some idea of where things were with just a glance vs. scrolling through a map on an phone or ipad. Furthermore, everyone could gather round the map to decide on a place to go or the bus route to take or just the lay of the land around us. The authors advice and comments were well thought out and useful!

My fiancée and I will be honeymooning in Cancun next year, so we ordered the maps to help plan our trip. They are fantastic and include everything you would want to know! Perfect for that pre-trip exploration.

We used our Cancun maps to help us locate better and more interesting things to do.
We especially enjoyed the restaurant guide. As people who enjoy finding out of the way and off the beaten path eateries, these tips made our trip more exciting and memorable.
One more thing, much better and easier to use than the phone.

We ordered these maps from the UK a month before we were due to go on holiday just to make sure we got them in time.
I had emailed Laura beforehand to ask how long they may take to get to the UK, and she said they should take about a week.
They were sent by International Priority shipping, and we were able to track their progress online door to door. They arrived within 7 days! so a very reliable and fast service.
We are still waiting to go on holiday, but we’ve got the maps so we are ready to go. They look great, are a handy size, and contain lots of useful information, so they are going to be invaluable while we are out there.
Highly recommended

We have owned a condo in Cancun for 3+ years and thought we knew a lot — until we got our MapChick map!

There are no better or up-to-date maps/travel guides available for all of the major Yucatan destinations!

I’ve been buying your maps for years. My first map was Cancun, but after that it was Playa del Carmen (twice) and Riviera Maya.
We’re going back to Cancun this time, so I pulled out my very first map, from 2005! I laughed because all the hotels/resorts, restaurants, etc — most of them have new names or don’t exist anymore. “Time for a new map.” I told my husband. “Throw that one away then.” he said. Are you kidding me? I can’t throw it away! It’s a wonderful souvineer of going to Cancun, all those years ago, and how things were. Nevermind that it’s tattered and torn from so much use!
I was thrilled when my new map showed up! Not there are different maps for resorts and restaurants, which makes it a little different from 2005, but I can see the need for it — and it just gives you so much more information, as well!
Looking forward to being able to hop on the bus with my map, and go anywhere!

Wish I had found out about these earlier. I research all of our trips and plan for them in advance. I did not find MapChick until a week before we left. I ordered the maps and they did get to me in time to take them with us. They are beautiful, high quality maps. They are easy to read and give helpful tips to save time and make your vacation less stressful. As I said I just wish I had time to process them earlier, so if you can get them well in advance of your trip – do so! Like post cards, souvenirs, pictures and other things we use to remember vacations, these maps will be a valuable addition to our memorabilia. I am considering ordering some from past vacations we have taken.

I have been traveling to Cancun and the Riviera Maya every year for the past 20 years. In the early years of my travel I shopped in book stores for maps and books that would provide me with good information for planning my trips. It wasn’t until I discovered the Cancun Map published by Laura and Perry that I was totally satisfied with my planning guide.
I have purchased the newest editions of the Cancun Map over the years and have always been impressed with the comprehensive and accurate information regarding resorts, restaurants, and travel that this map provides.
When I invite family and friends to travel with me, I purchase a map for them and have them participate in the planning process.
My vacation planning has been enhanced by the purchase and use of the Cancun Map. Thanks Laura and Perry for your dedication to what is clearly a labor of love!

Reviewing the map also made me super excited for my trip, and I feel much more prepared with the information it contained. Thank you!!

We have purchased the maps for PDC and Tulum in the past, and now have ordered the Cancun maps as well as the the Isla Mujeres Maps. I wasn’t sure if I really needed a new Cancun map, as I have been so many times, but when my husband I looked over the map of the restaurants, I saw that there were a few spots that we had never noticed, and now we are anxious to try. I haven’t been into Cancun “town” proper since 1986 or so, and now looking at the Downtown tour map, I am looking forward to seeing a few places including little market areas that are well laid out. Thanks very much!

Have been going to Cancun yearly for the last 25 years. Haven’t been to Isla Mujeres in quite a few years and decided to order your map/travel guide. I enjoyed it so much I decided to order the Cancun map/travel guide too to see if I was missing out on anything, especially with regard to the many restaurants. I am happy to say that I found several new restaurants which I will try on my upcoming trip. I found both maps to be extremely informative and will order the Playa del Carmen map when I go there next year. Thanks for all of the time and effort you both put into creating such a wonderful product.

Having a written explanation for things like the buses was great for us.

This map had a lot of good information, but the smaller streets are missing and it did get a little hard for us to know where we are when downtown.
Last thing is the round about street lights, word of caution watch out for people coming out of no where.

I have been going to Cancun since 1985, nearly yearly and back in those days would rent jeep and hope for the best…Great to have all so detailed, I look forward to trying a number of things differently..

Looks like a great map with great reviews, might have been better in a smaller form, like a bounded book type thing. It will be hard once in Mexico to keep opening the big maps up.
Thank you Carrie, I’d love to hear what you think after you’ve used them!
I appreciate your review, Laura

Terrific! These just keep getting better and better. Been ordering the maps since their inception. Can’t say enough good about them.

These maps allow me to plan and understand where everything is before going.
Suggestion: check with your printing company about applying a 1/2mil OPP lamination to eliminate the tearing that happens. Yes, this costs more but I believe it would be a worthwhile cost that could be passed along to the buyers. The paper that you are using is very thin and tends to rip easily along the fold lines. Just my thoughts since I am 30 years in the print industry.
Our response:
Thank you, every year we look at the different paper options in case something new has come out. We have to have something that will be able to do all of the folds involved with the large sheet and of course still have it be cost effective. We really appreciate your tip and will look in to it next time we print!

Very fast shipping. Maps look great with tons of tips and suggestions on restuarants and shops. I think the most useful of all is the tips on public transportation. Really, really helpful information especially for the first time trip to Cancun. I would highly recommend these map to anyone going to Cancun. I actually looked at the maps and suggestions there more than the 300+ page guide books I bought for the trip. Worth every penny.

I just love these maps. I now live in Cancun and I use my MapChick maps all the time. They have all the details I need…restaurant locations, downtown info, hotels, excursions and so much more. The tips on getting around Cancun are invaluable!
Thank you for putting out such a fabulous map!

Thanks for the quick turnaround. The maps made it in plenty of time for our trip. In the future, as long as I’m still traveling to the Riviera Maya, I’ll still be purchasing your guide maps…

PERFECT!
Your attention to detail, comments, the amount of information included on the maps is quite amazing. My sister and I were in Cancun and Riviera Maya several years ago and so far have spent a couple of hours pouring over the new editions, reminiscing and planning a future trip to one of our most favorite destinations.
Muchas gracias por su maravilloso trabajo.

The reviews and suggestions were very good. We used the map along with a Moon guidebook and together found everything we wanted. I would love to see more places of interest listed and maybe more street names (it is a map) and bus routes. We would recommend it.

We ordered a Cancun map before our trip to the Yucatan. We studied it and used it. When we forgot it at the hotel, we missed it. It is such an informative and helpful map and gave us some great ideas. Felt almost like having our own personal tour guide with us. We liked it so much that when we went over to Isla Mujeres, we contacted Laura to find out if there was any place we could purchase their maps on the island. There was!! We loved the golf cart tour included in the Isla map. Keep it up, you guys are doing great. Contact me if you ever need someone to help you do “research”. ;o)

I’ve used these folks before, for Riviera Maya maps. They were great. Service this time is also great. The Map is good. I don’t suppose they can update yearly. It is mainly for the resort areas; I aim to explore the city more.

In preparation of our December vacation in Cancun, I was reading the Forum on Trip Advisor and the “mapchick” was mentioned a few times; I checked the website and was impressed at what I saw, therefore I didn’t hesitate or oder the maps – I received them

the quality of the maps are great, very detailed and I am sure that they will be very helpful. Thank you again.

I ordered all 3 maps to replace ones that I had received years ago and have become outdated. They are a great help in finding your way around as well as tips on shopping and eating. I have discovered many new places with the help of the information received when using these maps. I always receive them in a timely fashion. Highly recommend!

As always delivery was super fast. The maps are beautiful and so helpful. I’ve bought the whole set and whenever somebody asks me “what should we do when we’re in Cancun”
I always tell them about you guys. We’ve been to Cancun/Mayan over 20 times in the last 20 years and found out about your maps 5 years ago. We thought we were “seasoned” travelers but we always do at least one thing you suggest and have never been dissapointed.

The maps and guide exceeded my expectations. I’ve never seen a map that went so far as to indicate areas where it was not safe to walk at night. Thank you!

We have been traveling to Cancun nearly every year for the past 20 years. We still consider this map as a very valuable guide to resorts, hotels and especially restaurants. Things change in Cancun everytime we visit. It is nice to know Laura and Perry are trying to keep up with it. Thanks!

These maps are excellent. I go to Cancun every five years or so and I’m fairly familiar with the spot, but these maps provided some details that I was unaware of which will allow me to have some new experiences this time… ruins I was unaware of, open beaches, etc.

We thought we were ordering 2010-2011
maps, but find that they are the same maps that we received last year, except for the addition of the airport map.
Thanks for the updates. It might be important to note that the McDonalds & Subway next to Captains Cove are no longer there. It has been replaced by a very nice Bank — Banamex. We were at the Omni across the street.
We did feel very confident with your maps. They are truly a marvelous addition
for our travel. Thanks for your efforts.
Jeannine, we will be updating after the first of the year, please return the map and I will send a refund, on the front page of the store we do say this is the 2009-2010 edition. When you placed your order you said you had a 2008 edition. Hopefully we’ll have the new Cancun map by late February or March.

I ordered the maps and they quickly arrived in the mail. Even though Cancun will only serve as a go-between location for longer trips to Merida and Akumal, I enjoyed seeing the whole layout of the area most people use to access the Yucatan. It puts the airport, the hotel zone and the downtown area into good perspective. I will use this map to access shopping prior to heading down to Akumal.

THE BEST PART WAS YOUR UPDATE, RESTAURANTS CLOSED ETC, SHOWS THAT SOMEONE IS UPDATING MESSAGE AND NOT JUST REPRINTING WHAT WAS VALID 5 YEARS AGO.
Most vacationers are limited in time, about a week.MAKING A SHORT LIST,SAY 5 of each hotels, resturants, antiquities, golf, fishing OF “MUST VISIT” PLACES , or sports. It could be labelled “if you have 3 days I recommend…….. if you have 5 ad the following…………
this can apply to all your maps.
We live in a suburb of San Francisco and when we have visitors from England and who want to “do” all of California in 5 days have a sheet of recommendations. We will be in Cancun December 29 to January 9 and I volunteer to be your guini pig.
Great ideas George, thank you!

So glad I found this site before our 1st trip to Cancun last week. Could not have asked for a better treasury of information. So well put together and easy to understand. I consider these maps to be invaluable, especially for the 1st time traveler. And not just the map parts, the information printed on each map gave us so much information and made our vacation there enjoyable and relaxing. Thanks, MapChick.

My MapChick map is indispensable! Not only is it a wonderfully accurate map, but it includes helpful hints on restaurants, hotels, and transportation (prices, “best of”, and schedules). It is really more of a complete guidebook that seems written by a close friend with insider’s notes in the margins! Keep up the great work Laura & Perry!

I have poured over all 3 maps & hope they withstand more opening & folding come Nov. travel time! I can see that they are well thought out, & packed with useful bits of info. Easy to understand, easy to read & printed on decent paper with clear print. I love them from here & am sure I will love them from there! I’ll let you know!!

April 1, 2009 Reviewer: Leanne Robinson from Holly, MI United States Everytime we go to Mexico, people stop and ask us where we got the maps. We always praise your maps and tell people where to get them. We used to be intimidated to rent a car and venture outside of our little resort. Not anymore. The last 4 times in Mexico, we study your maps and drive off to explore your recommendations. The maps truely have made our vacations adventureous, safe and wonderful. Gracias! Leanne Robinson

June 5, 2009 Reviewer: dj creamer from Beverly Hills, CA United States We’ve been coming to Cancun for about 8 years, and just last year we found mapchik and entertainment plus. We LOVE the maps. We ordered ‘Cancun’ and ‘Isla Mujeres’. Best to study them, before your vacation, on the plane to Cancun or over breakfast each day you’re there, then just keep them in your everyday travel bag to reference while touring Cancun or surrounding areas. Otherwise if you are studying the map the whole time, you are sure to miss something amazing!! We loved all of the great tidbits of info., really enhanced our trip, and we will be buying a new map each year we visit!

June 9, 2009 Reviewer: Julie Fredlund from Cedar Park, TX United States I was a little worried about our trip having never been to Cancun before; I ordered the Cancun map hoping it would ease tension. I received the map shortly after ordering it and found that I was overwhelmed at the USEFUL information included. These folks really put a lot of effort into making travelers feel comfortable and prepared for trips. I am SOOO excited about my trip now, and will be sure to keep my map on me at all times.
