Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo
Much better than Cancun!!
I was here in June ’05 for 5 days, then in Cancun for 2 days.
I can see it slowly becoming like Cancun, but trust me, if you want to see more of the ‘real’ Mexico, definitely hit up Playa. Not to say that the main streets of Playa del Carmen are the real Mexico (you’d have to venture out of the main downtown area for that), but it’s much more authentic than the tourist trap aka Cancun.
