Playa del Carmen is the fasted growing city of the Mexico with gorgeous beaches and everything a traveler needs.

Do  a favor to yourself  and stay away from the all-inclusive instead choose a nice small motel in town and use the saved money for enjoying diving, trekking, etc. Also, do not waste your money on souvenirs sold on the main street (Quinta Avenida, or 5th Ave.). You can get the same stuff on side streets for half the price.

Some of the best are the Maya ruins of Tulum and Cobá, the white sand beaches, snorkeling on Cozumel Island (the ferry to Cozumel leaves from Playa) or in one of the various Cenotes are some of the attraction in Play’s neighborhood. If you prefer Sea world kind of tourist parks , you could visit one of the numerous parks like Xel-Ha or Xcaret.
