Playa Del Carmen

In my opinion, Playa del Carmen is more bearable than Cancun, but very touristic…very polished and packaged. I only went there because the friend I was traveling went over to Cozumel to dive. The beach is nice, but I found Tulum to be far superior. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. It does seem like a jumping point for heading to Cuba though.

we did little snorkeling and laid on the beach little shopping we relaxed more then anything …

Went here for senior spring break with 35 other seniors.. let the good times roll!!

Great food, gorgeous part of the world, safe, weather is awesome 99% of the time. Husband and I went on honeymoon there in 2005, then we went back in 2006 and 2007. We’ve made friends with folks on playa.info and intotheroo.com and have met up with them in PDC and other US cities for “Peep Meets” through playa.info. Fly into Cancun, take shuttle for 30-45 minutes to this serene and exciting getaway. You can stay as cheaply or lavishly as you’d like – there’s something for everyone. Ex-pats from all over the world have started restaurants and businesses in this area, giving Playa a noticeable international flair. Can’t be beat!

August 2007

The ball in the pool, touching the frame in the silence of a sunny noon…

Not my cup of tea. Did I go all the way to Mexico and not see it?

It is the most beautiful place on earth.
It also has less partying than Cancun.
That made it perfect for me.

It was truly awesome.

Best diving in the world right here. No doubt about it. Early fall is calm and clear. The visibility was awesome and the water temp was just right.

My husband and I were supposed to travel to Playa Del Carmen for our honeymoon, but unfortunately, hurricaine Wilma hit the exact weekend we were supposed to leave. Once we go to this place, I want to visit the pyramids and have an ephiphany!!
