Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're looking for a local coffee, authentic Mexican chocolate, gifts for the family back home, or unique souvenirs, I would definitely recommend stopping in here.

Overall, we really enjoyed spending the day exploring Porttoaya. Yes, it was hot. Yes, it was busy. But we found great shopping, met some wonderful people.

If you're looking for that perfect photo, there are actually two great vantage points to capture the Sun Princess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're carrying a backpack, security may ask you to open it before you leave the terminal.
Use the two specific vantage points (near Three Amigos or the ship replica) for postcard-worthy photos of the Sun Princess.
Have your Medallion ready when returning to the ship through security.

You still highlight Puerta Maya while also matching the terms travelers are most likely to type into YouTube.
