Arsgan House Mystery?

fmd_good Arsgan House

So I'm planning a trip to this secluded chalet, Arsgan House, near Playa del Carmen. Heard it's got a seriously creepy history – apparently, some folks claim to have seen lights flickering in the wi… more

Honestly? I've never heard of Arsgan House specifically. Playa del Carmen has tons of weird local lore, though. Most of it's probably just embellished stories, fueled by tequila and late nights on the beach. That said... if you're going to a supposedly empty chalet at night, expecting ghosts, you're already halfway to creating your own spooky story, aren't ya? Take lots of pictures! Even if it's just boring pictures of an empty house, you'll have something to show for your trip. And hey, maybe you'll get the photo. Who knows? Just be careful. Mexico can be beautiful but also, uh, unpredictable.

Yeah, Cancun can be a mosquito haven, especially near the water. I've been to several resorts there, not that one specifically, but the bug situation varies wildly depending on the time of year and even the specific location within the resort. Some areas are definitely worse than others. I swear by OFF! Deep Woods formula – the stuff with the DEET. Doesn't smell great, but it WORKS. Also, long sleeves and pants at dusk and dawn when they're most active. Those little mosquito nets for your face are kinda dorky, but seriously effective if you're REALLY sensitive. Bring some citronella candles for your patio, too. Maybe even a battery-powered bug zapper. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks for the tips! I appreciate the real-world advice, way better than some generic resort review. The DEET sounds intense, but if it works... I'm already planning on packing long sleeves, just hadn't thought about the specific times of day. The mosquito net thing is hilarious, but I might just have to cave on that one. I’m super sensitive to bites; they swell up like crazy! A bug zapper is a great idea. I'd rather be prepared than spend the whole trip swatting.
