Mexico's Caribbean islands are tropical, with a rainy season from May to October and hurricanes from June to November, so the drier months suit outdoor meals best. Spanish is the main language, Yucatec Maya is spoken in the Yucatán Peninsula and English is common in resorts, which makes ordering and directions easy. The Sac Bajo position means the restaurant is reachable from the island's main town and resort areas, with the Muelle and Centro both within a short distance.
