Our Rotary Club is located in the most popular of Mexican vacation destinations. We hope that when you visit this corner of the Caribbean you will take time to visit our Club.

We meet downtown at the Hotel Be Smart America (previously known as "Hotel Oasis America"). This is located on Tulum Avenue at the corner of Coba (the extension of Blvd. Kukulcan, the main road that runs through the Hotel Zone).(See Map) Our meetings are held Wednesday evenings. We begin at 9:15 p.m., have a buffet style dinner, and finish with our  business meeting. There's no telling when the post-meeting domino or poker game will break-up  (it often runs rather late), but the meeting itself is over around  11:00. 

If you have to be up early Thursday morning, we understand and 'tis okay for you to leave after dinner and the exchange of visitor cards/banners.

This Rotary Club was  born almost at the  same time as Cancun was established: 1976.  Since then we have grown; although not the case right now, most years we have been the largest Club in District 4200.  Most Clubs in the District are small, though, so we have lots of growth potential.

Most of our Community Service work is channeled through the "Centro Comunitario Rotary International de Cancun", the community center we established in a working class neighborhood located on the west side of the city. 

Most of the Community Center's facilities have been sub-let to other organizations providing professionally managed services. One is a Mexican government educational program that uses satellite TV and computers for educating adults and children not in "age appropriate" class levels. The students cease being illiterate and become E-literate in one step. During the 2003-04 year we added a "women's shelter" for women at risk; this is operated by an outside agency using part of the Community Center. Another section of the Center is utilized by the D.I.F. (a governmental family services organization which operates at the municipal, state, and national levels. The D.I.F. provides vocational training, nutritional education, psychological counselling, aerobics and English classes, services to seniors, and other activities.

In most visitor photos you will see the flag of Tailand; this is because we have a sister club relationship with the Rotary Club of Nakhonchaisri, Tailand.
