Hi were planning on going to Isla Mujeres in 2 weeks, on a Sunday...we probably won't get there until about 12 noon at least. Has anyone ever experienced golf cart rentals running out if you arrive too late in the day? We will be needing 3 of them. Someone warned me about this a few months ago, but I figured it was only during high season. Thanks.
You should be ok at that time of year, especially if it's just 3 carts. We sometimes had problems getting enough carts when we did the golf cart tour as part of the booze cruise, but this was usually when we were looking to hire 7 or 8 carts at 2pm during high season.
hope you have fun done the golf carts about 5 times and have never had toubles 2 years ago a few days after our wedding 20 of us went over rented carts looked like a convoy was fun stopped at some of the pubs was a great time remember to eat out at the light house great food awesome drinks enjoy. going in 28 days
Ok thanks, will try to go early, but will be travelling w/ my 20 yo son and his friend, they're late sleepers as it is, but imagine adding alcohol *eyeroll*.... I've done the cart tour 1 or 2 times, and it was SOOO much fun...we will be travelling w/ 3 other couples in addition to my son and his friend, so should be a very fun trip.
I do this a few times each year. Always got my carts at the place adjacent to the Sombrero de Gomar restaurant on Hidalgo. They were out of them two times in a row but referred me to a place at the next corner, taking a left onto Guerrero and it was on the left about half way down toward Playa Norte. 3 times now I talked myself into a "locals" discount. Going there today for a long weekend and was going to grab another cart but the plans changed and am now taking my car there on the car ferry, a first for me. Helping a friend celebrate the big 4-0. Can't wait.
Actually, I've found it just the opposite. After 1pm or so you can get 24hr rates at a discount if you bargin a bit. You'll get the carts for an afternoon sight seeing run up and down the island. An evening run to whatever destination you have planed. And morning transport to the Turtle Farm or the Point or many of the other sites you found the day before that might like to explore before lunch. Then turn the carts back in, have a great lunch somewhere downtown and enjoy the rest of the afternoon on the beach.:umbrella1:
We ended up renting from PPe's off Hidalgo and Matamoros...it was 600 pesos (about $50 US) for 2 golf carts for 2 hours. It was like 3 pm already once we ate lunch at Posada del Mar (best ceviche and guacamole btw) so we didnt want to get a daily rate...
They aren't running out these days. Construction is making it hard to get to the shops and they all close by 5pm
Do they have any stretch limo carts? I have 4 boys along with me and my wife. We need a 6 seater. Thanks.
