About Playa

Area Information

Located 45 minutes south of the Cancun International Airport in the heart of the Riviera Maya with a world class Caribbean beachfront, Playa is a tropical garden paradise with virtually everything you could ask for in a Mexican beach vacation. This charming town is pedestrian friendly featuring relaxed cafes, open air hotels and luxury beachfront condos. There are eco parks nearby with interesting species of birds and sea creatures, Mayan archeology and world class snorkeling and diving. Best of all, Playa del Carmen offers unsurpassed small town Mexican hospitality.

Playa del Carmen is a travel hotspot for the entire country. Though it has received attention from natives, Europeans and Americans, the town retains its village feel which is the reason that families, couples and groups all visit this safe and friendly location.

Destinations and Tours
Among the most popular Playa del Carmen tours are those which take in the eco-archaeological parks and the site of Tulum. The parks offer visitors an amazing chance to explore the history and ecology of the area as well as see the remains of a true Mayan fortress. There are many organized tours to these destinations, but a visitor with a rental car can reach any one of them within an hour or two of time.

When planning a vacation to Playa del Carmen it is important to remember all of the ecological and archaeological areas as well. Many visitors like to take a brief jungle trek in one of the preserves just outside of the city. In these locations they can view all of the native wildlife in its natural habitat. This includes monkeys, birds, butterflies, deer and many reptiles.

Of course most visitors to the area also make the time to explore one of the public cenotes of the region as well. These are remarkable natural wonders which are the homes to underground rivers. Amateur explorers can wander the caves and waters to see some of the most amazing sights in the entire peninsula.

Playa del Carmen Restaurants
Given the over 200+ restaurants in PDC, consistency can sometimes be an issue and new restaurants pop up all the time. Eating right on 5th Ave will be more expensive than finding places a couple of blocks off.  Be adventurous. Some of the small local places have great food.
