Arsgan House Mystery?

fmd_good Arsgan House

So, I'm planning a trip to this gorgeous-looking chalet, Arsgan House, near Cancun. The photos online are stunning, but they don't really show the vibe. I'm picturing lazy afternoons on the veranda,… more

Been there! Arsgan House is exactly as idyllic as the pictures. Think total tranquility—the veranda is amazing, you'll spend hours there. But, it's a bit of a trek to Cancun. You'll definitely need a car, taxis are pricey and infrequent. Nightlife? Forget it unless you're happy with quiet drinks on your patio. The closest action is a good 20-30 minute drive. Mosquitoes? Bring industrial-strength repellent. Seriously. It's the jungle, even that close to the coast. So, plan for your relaxation time, but factor in travel time if you want Cancun's buzz. It's a trade-off—peaceful escape versus easy access.

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! That's really helpful. The tranquility sounds amazing, exactly what I was hoping for, but the mosquito situation... yikes! Industrial-strength repellent it is, then. Good to know about the transportation too; I hadn't considered that aspect. Guess I'll be renting a car. Sounds like a perfect getaway for some serious R&R, as long as I'm prepared for the lack of nearby nightlife. Appreciate the heads-up!

Secundaria Memories?

I'm heading to @Cancun soon and found out my Tia went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She always talks about the amazing school plays they put on. Apparently, they were legendary. Anyone kn… more

That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought about Facebook groups or contacting the school directly. That's a great suggestion. I figured it was a long shot remembering those plays, they were... well, a very long time ago. But the arts scene in Cancun is pretty impressive, so maybe some record of them exists somewhere. I'll definitely check out those local theatre groups too. You've given me some really helpful leads!
