Puerto Morelos - Provisions & Laundry
At the marina.
Grocery Store – No real supermarket in Puerto Morelos, but Casa Martin on the north side of the square has the basics including produce, eggs, bread, snacks & alcohol.
There is an abundance of small “Supers” (convenience stores) all over town, most with beer. There is also an OXXO convenience store on the south-west end of the square.
The Wednesday morning Produce Market by the Church providing fruits and vegetables. The fish co-operative on the square has the best and freshest fish anywhere. Letty’s on Av. Ninos Heroes has frozen fish and shrimp.
A bakery truck rolls through town every evening at dusk with baked treats.
For more grocery selection, Playa del Carmen and Cancun both have Sam’s Club, Chredaui, Mega, Wal-Mart and Soriana. Cancun also has Costco.
There are two very good produce markets located in the Colonia. These markets specialize in fresh fruit and vegetables and also fresh meats, chicken, pork and other items. The first store is located 3 blocks behind the Pemex, on the corner of the road that runs beside the Pemex and the wide street. The second location is one or two blocks further west (toward Villas Morelos). If you ask the bus or taxi driver to take you to Chulim, they will be able to help you find them. There are a couple of larger grocery stores there too.

As of Dec 18 2015, after talking to the marina officials, there are no more mooring balls available. They were taken off for the expansion of a new project. The marina is still there doing well and open for business as usual.
Posted by Kairos48 on the main Mexico page:
When clearing in or out at Puerto Morelos (Marina El Cid) a 24-hour notice is required by Immigration and Customs. You cannot call in advance to inform them as the marina requires you to be present when making the request. You will be required to stay in the Marina until all of the officials have cleared you in. If you are coming from the south, expect to be boarded and searched by customs.
Five agents and a K-9 searched my vessel. (I am a male, single handing, and I came from Guatemala so, no surprise since I came from a known narco route and fit the profile). None of my meat or food was confiscated as others have reported. The agent and personnel at Marina El Cid were quite helpful.
