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 Yucatan, although this time, it felt like the right time.
Playa Del Carmen, or as the natives call it “Playa,” is very different from the other Mexico travel destination. The others, ...

Talk about relaxing! Playa del Carmen was such a grrrreat {last minute} choice! It's such a nice difference from built-up Cancun. Playa had lots of smaller hotels right on the beach, with plenty do to do and lots of great restuarants within walking distance!
