LODGING
When you fish with MOTIV you won’t be staying in a 5-star resort, there’s plenty of those places outside of Cancun. This operation is as remote as you can get on the Yucatan Peninsula-Literally! Quality of fishing takes the front seat to luxury. Our operation is rustic but it ain’t to shabby. We have three cabanas, a glorious bar called the Black Pearl and a sand flat in front of us loaded with hundreds of hungry bonefish. What else do you need?! It’s possible to catch a bonefish within 2minutes of waking up.
Each one of the cabanas are powered off solar energy with lights and AC plugins for phone and small electronic charging. Each cabana has its own bathroom with a gravity fed toilet and solar shower available. There are two comfortable foam padded cots in each cabana surrounded by mosquito mesh. Purified water is also available inside the cabanas.
LA PERLA NEGRA – CANTINA
Perla Negra is the the most remote bar in Mexico with legendary status. This is the center of our operations and where we start and finish our days. Wake up to a great cup of coffee while going over plans for your day of fishing. At the end of the day, the front porch of the Perla Negra Bar is the perfect spot to kick your legs up and unwind, while sipping on an icy pineapple jalapeno MexiJill Margarita. Unfortunately, we can’t go into too much detail of what happens at Perla Negra and you will have to visit it to get the full experience. What we can say is that the bartender is skilled at cutting limes, has a sweet spider tattoo, and an ice box full of the coldest beers in all the Yucatan. Stay thirsty my friends!
CUISINE
One thing is for certain…you will not go hungry at Perla Negra! We wanted to keep our meals as authentic as possible by taking full advantage of the bountiful resources surrounding us. With freshly caught fish and lobster (in season) harvested each day, Chef Tururu’s meals are a simple and delicious blend of traditional Mexican cuisine with a hint of Mayan flair, accompanied with fresh locally grown vegetables and fruit.
After a long day of fishing, you can always look forward to a scrumptious array of seafood appetizers highlighted by Tururu’s out of this world ceviche. Mornings usually consist of loaded up breakfast tacos and burritos made with so much love that they’re guaranteed to kill even the worst tequila hangover. If you have any dietary concerns, please let us know in advance so your needs can be accommodated.
