Playa del Carmen Vacation Guide
Situated an hour south of Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula, Playa Del Carmen is a beach town with something to offer. There are plenty of swanky hotels, and places to stay along the beach, and all of the major attractions in town are conveniently located within a block or two of the beachfront. There are also cheaper accommodation options available, a few blocks from the beach, for those on a tighter budget.
The beach is long and sandy and the water warm and inviting. There are numerous opportunities for organising snorkelling trips in the area, including to the island of Cozumel, to which a regular ferry service runs from the town.
The town contains a mix of restaurants and bars, and shops selling souvenirs and tourist apparel. Playa del Carmen is a great place to visit if you want a small-town Cancun. The night scene can be impressive and is a great alternative to Cancun.
You can also use Playa del Carmen as a base for organising trips to visit some of the Mayan ruins on the Yucutan Peninsula, including to Chichen Itza.
The currency of choice for booking tours in Playa del Carmen is the US Dollar; those attempting to spend Mexican Pesos will find themselves clobbered by a less-than-favourable exchange rate.

First of all, as a little background, this is my third trip into the great vacation country of Mexico. In the past I have traveled to Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta with my family. There have been many times in my adulthood that I have thought of venturing back and traveling into the Yuca…

Wednesday, October 21, 2009After diving, we hurried back to the Hotel Flamingo, grabbed our stuff and walked over to the ferry dock to head to Playa del Carmen. We opted for sitting outside on the upper deck with a nice view of Cozumel where there were two, drunken honeymooning couples from somewhe…
