Playa Del Carmen
 

Description

Once a quiet fishing village, this beach town has exploded into a major tourist attraction with a population of over 30,000. Restaurants, hotels and shops spring up overnight. So far development has left the beaches in good shape, if somewhat crowded. This is not the place to relax but you can enjoy great nightlife, dining, shopping and golf or use it as the jumping off point for visiting the Riviera Maya. Ferries depart every half hour from the main dock in San Miguel. The trip takes 45-minute and call ahead to confirm departure.

Liked it so much we moved here! Events/Rentals
By Ruben & Jamais, 2/4/12
About us....After living between Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Miami Beach, Florida for several years, we wanted to share our exciting locations with friends and soon-to-be friends. We liked Playa so much that we decided to move here 4 years ago. We have been successfully renting vacation condos for over 18 years and are now offering select vacation rental properties including condos and homes to the world. We pride ourselves on being responsive and honest with all. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey. I also write a blog with events, restaurant reviews, tours, and anything that happens to be going on. You can find all of this info on my website. Let's go! Sincerely, Jamais and Ruben Trujillo LetGoPDC

Exciting yet, relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/16/05
Beautiful Beaches and extraordanary views. Tranquil and relaxing. Great Hotels and natural yet convenient vacation experiences. Fun for the whole family or just a relaxing get away for two. Downtown Playa del carman has such a selection of Mexican cultural items and clothing for everyone. Great food and exciting night life.
