    Cancun / Riviera Maya Travel Tips

    Classroom Attire: Your preference, there is no dress code.  However, we do recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater since sometimes the conference room is cold.

    Travel Documents: You will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after entry to Mexico.  US citizens can find more information by visiting the Travel State Website.  Non-US citizens, please contact your native country's respective department for more information.  We recommend to make two paper copies of your passport (leave one at home with a trusted person and keep one in your suitcase) and also take a picture to keep in your phone as well as emailing it to yourself and / or saving it on a file server you can access such as Dropbox.  Having an accessible copy will make your life much easier if your passport is lost.   

    Transportation:  We recommend flying into Cancun International Airport (CUN) and utilizing Cancun Airport Transportation from the airport to the hotel.  Although Uber exists in Mexico, the taxi drivers have agreements that prevent Uber (and other rideshare operators) from pickups at the airport and hotels.  Parking at the hotel is free.  However, we STRONGLY recommend NOT to rent a car.  Although the car rental itself is inexpensive, the required insurance (as much as $70 per day) and additional $3000 deposit makes renting a car expensive.  Furthermore, the roads have very low speed limits that are not adhered to but if you are caught speeding it can be a challenging situation with the police.    For excursions, most of the tours include transportation and/or taxis are readily available.

    Tipping:  The resort is all-inclusive so technically tipping is not required.  However, the staff will be extremely grateful if you leave a gratuity - such as for the bell boy that carries your luggage.

    This is my second time attending a conference on a cruise. Cost effective , length of sessions, and knowledgeable presenters made this a need to do for CME. Will be doing again in the future.

    Excellent CME Event

    Don't underestimate this event just because it is on a cruise. They do a great job of focusing on the guidelines for medical management of each topic covered and yet keep each discussion interesting.

    Conference material was educational and up to date. Speakers were engaging and knowledgeable. Lots of time for fun activities. Had a great time with a few of the other conference goers on a boat ride, highly recommend. The waterpark is fun for all ages and beach is beautiful!

    Great CME!

    This was an excellent CME course — well-organized, engaging, and packed with relevant, up-to-date content, that could be applied to my day to day practice . The presenters were experienced clinicians who shared valuable insights on complex cases, diagnostic reasoning, and management strategies. Many high-yield outpatient topics were covered on their agenda. Whether you’re early in your medicine career or a seasoned clinician looking to stay current, I can’t recommend this course enough. It’s an excellent investment of time, and I walked away with practical tools and renewed confidence in my clinical decision-making. The CME being in the beautiful Atlantis resort in the Bahamas was the cherry on top!
