Why It’s a Great Deal in 2026

 

The ROI on the Puerto Discount Card is faster than ever. For example, a single snorkeling tour with Lighthouse Tours or a dinner for two at Punta Corcho can often save you more than the cost of a weekly plan.

 

With no limit on how many times you can use the card during your membership, the savings stack up daily, from your morning coffee at The Local Cafe to late-night tacos at Parrilla San Miguel.

 

How It Works

 

Getting started is simple and convenient, with both digital and physical options:

 

Digital Card:

 

1. Buy Online: Visit the official Puerto Shop and choose the plan that fits your trip.
2. Activate: For the Quick Getaway and Journey plans, you can pick your specific activation date to match your arrival.
3. Show & Save: Log in to the website on your phone to access your digital card. Show it to the staff before asking for the bill to ensure the discount is applied.

 

Physical Card:

 

For those who prefer a tangible card, especially year-round local residents, a physical Puerto Card is available for purchase.

 

You can acquire one at the Lighthouse Tours booth on Javier Rojo Gomez, conveniently located near the Live Music Hall. They are open daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

 

The physical card costs $30 USD or 550 MXN and is valid for one year.  You save almost $10 USD when you buy the physical card, but you also don't get access to certain benefits the digital version offers.

 

This option is particularly recommended if you prefer not to carry your phone everywhere, minimizing the risk of it getting stolen, and allowing you to simply bring cash and your card.

 

Tips for 2026

 

• Check the Directory: Business participation can change. Always check the latest Puerto Morelos listings before you head out.
• Screenshot Your Card: While the digital card is easy to access, having a screenshot can save time if you have a spotty internet connection at a remote beach club or cenote.
• Ask About Exclusions: Some discounts may not apply to already-discounted "promotions" or "happy hour" items, so it's always good to clarify with your server first.
