“I’d like a better way to navigate this resort.”— Stacy, during our stay in Puerto Morelos
The origin
One sentence started all of this.
During a stay at El Cid Resorts Riviera Maya, Stacy looked at the size and complexity of the property and said something very simple: “I’d like a better way to navigate this resort.”
That sentence became My Resort Locator.
What started as a practical way to find restaurants, pools, lobbies, and other destinations grew into a broader guest directory—combining searchable locations, maps, photographs, resort information, and verified walking paths where available.
The first working implementation was conceived, built, refined, and field-tested on-site in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. The property provided the real-world environment in which MRL could be tested against the problems guests actually encounter.
What it does
Everything we kept wishing the resort map could do.
The feature list is deliberately broad because the problem is broader than a pin on a map.
🗺️
Interactive map
Guest-friendly pins, labels, satellite context, map framing, and location recognition.
🚶
Verified walking paths
Saved paths are used when they have been established, and the same connection works in either direction.
🧭
Direction-only fallback
If no walking path is known, MRL points toward the destination without pretending a straight line is a walkable route.
📷
Destination photos
Visual references help guests recognize a café, office, gate, pool, scenic pier, restaurant, or service point.
🕒
Operating information
Hours and practical details can be surfaced where useful, while weekly or changing schedules can be treated as such.
🌐
English / Español
The guest can choose a language at the start and use the directory in the language that works best for the stay.
📍
GPS starting point
Outdoor GPS can establish where the guest is before a destination is chosen.
⭐
Favorites and recent places
Frequently used destinations can stay easy to reach during a multi-day stay.
🏠
Home base
A guest can keep a room/home endpoint available for returning to a familiar point.
🏝️
Discovery as well as navigation
Scenic locations and useful services make MRL a resort directory, not merely a routing screen.
🧰
Owner workspace
Property-side tools support position corrections, route review, verification, photographs, and changing information.
Field-tested
The map had to answer to the real world.
MRL was repeatedly checked against actual guest movement, map and satellite references, photographs, resort information, and on-site walking observations. That process exposed an important rule: proximity on a map does not prove a walkable connection.
Recognition matters
Sometimes the most useful direction is: “This is what you’re looking for.”
The first MRL implementation demonstrated how destination photography can complement maps and routing without turning the product into a marketing catalog.
For the property
Guests see the simple side. Resorts can maintain the useful side.
The Owner workspace separates the guest experience from the work required to keep a directory trustworthy: location correction, route review, verification, photos, and information that changes over time.
What is known should stay different from what is assumed.
A destination can be correctly located while the path to it is still unknown. Two places can appear close together while a wall, pool, road, building, or restricted area makes the obvious line unusable.
MRL is designed to preserve that distinction rather than fabricate confidence.
