BMW Service in Cancun? Also, a nice stop to Vecracuz?
Hi All
We're enjoying a day off in Xilitla today. Love this place! Have 2 key questions:
1/ can you recommend where we can get our bikes serviced in Cancun?
2/ can you recommend a cool place to stop the night on the road from Xilitla to Veracruz? We are taking: Mex 102/127/180
Cheers
Sarah + Rick

talk to mikemike
The guy to ask about all things Veracruz is MikeMike, its his backyard. Here is a sample post:

If you have to visit a BMW dealer...
Alecka Motor, S.A. de C.V.
Avenida Bonampak 83 Mz 20 Lote 34, Col. Supermanzana 3, C.P. 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo
01 (998) 88 71 661
Google Maps: http://goo.gl/maps/rmCt4
There are more Mexican BMW dealers listed here, but make sure they service motorcycles. The BMW website sometimes mixes motorcycle and car dealers. BMW Motorrad México
If are just looking for something simple, like an oil change, there are plenty of small shops that can service your needs.
Xilitla was one of the highlights of my trip. I would recommend it to anyone.

My experience from a few months ago is that Veracruz is a historical city. Adjacent Boca del Rio is the action place. I stayed a night in Anton Lizardo .... not much there.
