A week at The Palometa Club begins on a Friday and ends on a Friday. You must arrive in Cancun from your home city no later than 2:00pm or plan to come in a day early and spend the first night in Cancun. Please supply us with your flight arrival information at least a week ahead of time.

Most anglers will arrive at Terminal 3. Once you are past customs continue through the building towards the outside. Immediately upon exiting the building turn to your left and go through the waist-high metal turnstile-type gates to an open-air café/bar with a blue sign extending up from the ground that reads “MEETING POINT.” Our transfer driver Gama will meet you there.

It takes about three-and-a-half hours to drive from the Cancun airport south to The Palometa Club in our comfortable air-conditioned vans. The first half of the trip is on a modern highway servicing the famed resorts of the Maya Riviera and ending at the legendary ruins of Tulum. Along this section Gama will be happy to stop at a local wine/liquor store if guests wish to procure something special for their week.

At Tulum you leave the highway for the final 56-kilometer drive down the infamous “jungle road” of the Punta Allen Peninsula. The scenery is spectacular and anglers are often rewarded with glimpses of exotic birds and wildlife.

The Palometa Club is located in the tiny lobster-fishing village of Punta Allen at the southern tip of the peninsula. To maximize the visual experience and negotiate the jungle road in the most comfortable manner, we like to arrive at the lodge right at sunset (which is why we insist that everyone arrive in Cancun no later than 2:00 pm).

Upon your arrival at The Palometa Club you will be met by your hosts Dick and Kaye Cameron bearing a tray of frosty margaritas (the best in all of Mexico!). Your luggage will be taken to your room, and a hearty dinner will be served. After dinner Dick will introduce the lodge staff, and will provide a thorough orientation for your upcoming week of adventure.
