It’s all possible in Playa del Carmen, Mexico’s fun-loving beach getaway.** You could be forgiven for thinking that Playa del Carmen was a place you dreamed up. With alabaster sands lapped by the azure Caribbean Sea, magical hidden cenotes (swimming holes) and stylish resorts, this city on the Riviera Maya is the definition of beach paradise. And like the colorful corals of the Mesoamerican Reef below, its richest treasures reveal themselves when you dive beneath the surface. Shop for artisan goods at local night markets, hunt down the best *cochinita pibil* (slow-roasted pork) or witness traditional Mayan dances in bustling squares. Discover every facet of this dazzling jewel on the Yucatan Peninsula. #### The best areas for accommodation in Playa del Carmen - For first timers - For couples - For families For bar hopping and boutique shopping moments from the beach, [Quinta Avenida](https://www.expedia.com/Quinta-Avenida-Downtown-Playa-del-Carmen.d6141582.Vacation-Attraction) (Fifth Avenue) is one of the best places for first-timers to stay in Playa del Carmen. This colorful pedestrianized street is the city’s main thoroughfare, with designer shops, stalls selling local handicrafts and Mexican and international restaurants. Alternatively, stay in the upmarket [Centro](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-Del-Carmen-Playa-Del-Carmen-Centro.dx3000662985) neighborhood to be in the heart of the action and close to the beach. One of the best places for couples to stay in Playa del Carmen is [Playacar](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-Del-Carmen-Playacar.dx6209538), a gated community south of the city center featuring all-inclusive resorts overlooking a pristine stretch of sand. To be closer to the action, base yourself in [Gonzalo Guerrero](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-Del-Carmen-Gonzalo-Guerrero.dx553248635976398190), a buzzing neighborhood filled with salsa bars and beach clubs. It’s also home to some of the city’s best dining, from taquerias to food trucks and seafood restaurants. North of the city center, you’ll find Luis Donaldo Colosio, a great area for families to stay in Playa Del Carmen with a low-key, residential vibe. Spend your days chilling out on [Playa Punta Esmeralda](https://www.expedia.com/Punta-Esmeralda-Beach-Luis-Donaldo-Colosio.d553248634249814664.Attraction), a crescent-shaped bay offering shallow waters and gentle waves that are perfect for young swimmers. Or stay in Playacar for family-friendly all-inclusive hotels near the heart of town. #### Best time to visit Playa del Carmen - **Winter (December to April):** The best time to visit Playa del Carmen for warm, sunny days and cooler nights with minimal rainfall. Expect crowds, especially around holiday periods. - **Spring (Late April to May):** The low season offers great hotel deals but can bring seasonal hurricanes. - **Summer (July to September):** Expect hot, humid weather and local celebrations like the Virgen del Carmen festival. - **Fall (October to November):** October is the rainiest month, but storms usually subside and make way for cooler, clearer days come November. #### How many days to spend in Playa del Carmen Plan a three- to four-day break to explore the best beaches in Playa del Carmen, stroll along Quinta Avenida and go on a scuba diving or snorkeling tour. If you’re seeking slower-paced beach days and a couple of day trips to sites like Chichen Itza, you’ll want at least a week here. #### The vibe of Playa del Carmen Think of Playa del Carmen as the Goldilocks of [Yucatan](https://www.expedia.com/Yucatan.dx11215) destinations. It combines the nightlife and urban feel of [Cancun](https://www.expedia.com/Cancun.dx179995) with the relaxed, boho vibes of [Tulum](https://www.expedia.com/Tulum.dx182189), appealing to a wide range of travelers from families and couples to backpackers and party-goers. In Playa del Carmen’s town center, local markets rub shoulders with gleaming modern shopping malls, and trendy cafes filled with digital nomads share the street with hawkers selling traditional *tamales* (steamed corn dough wrapped in banana leaves). It’s the perfect choice if you’re seeking a laid-back beach break with plenty to do besides relaxing, from exploring cenotes and Mayan ruins to scuba diving in the Mesoamerican Reef. #### What is Playa del Carmen famous for? Playa del Carmen is renowned for its palm-fringed shorelines, from the upscale, resort-lined Playacar to its bustling namesake beach and the secluded Playa Punta Esmeralda. Another iconic feature of this region is cenotes, limestone caves filled with jewel-like water. Plunging into swimming holes like Cenote Chikin-Ha and Chaak Tun Cenote is one of the best things to do in Playa del Carmen. The Yucatan Peninsula is also famous for Mayan sites like [Chichen Itza](https://www.expedia.com/Chichen-Itza.dx6052401), a UNESCO-listed former city dating back over 1,000 years, which you can visit on a bus tour from Playa del Carmen. By night, even the most reluctant of party-goers will be seduced by the city’s eclectic mashup of after-dark rhythms, from salsa to electro to rock music. #### Events in Playa del Carmen Events in Playa del Carmen kick off with Año Nuevo (New Year’s Day). From late January to early February, look out for the Arena Festival, Mexico’s largest LGBTQ+ music festival. The Virgen del Carmen festival in July brings a procession through the streets to celebrate the city’s patron saint, along with vibrant parties throughout town. And if you’re visiting in November, don’t miss Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Xcaret. This Mexican festival honors the deceased with colorful costumes, decorated skulls, floral displays, Mayan dances and traditional foods like *pan de muerto* (bread of the dead). #### Top attractions in Playa del Carmen - For first timers - For couples - For families Just a 45-minute boat ride away, [Isla Cozumel](https://www.expedia.com/Cozumel.dx180033) offers access to the world’s second-largest barrier reef, and the snorkeling or scuba diving here is unforgettable. Exploring Mayan ruins is another great thing to do for first-timers in Playa del Carmen. Take a day trip to Chichen Itza to explore the renowned pre-Hispanic city, featuring the pyramid-shaped El Castillo temple and the largest Mayan ball court in the Americas. It’s worth waking up early for a stand-up paddleboard sunrise tour, one of the best things for couples to do in Playa del Carmen. Or experience golden hour with a sunrise yoga class at Coco Beach. If food is your love language, join a cooking class to learn Mexican dishes like fish ceviche and mole (richly spiced sauce), or dine in a cave restaurant for a unique date night. One of the top things for families to do in Playa del Carmen is visit [Xcaret](https://www.expedia.com/Xcaret-Eco-Theme-Park-Playa-del-Carmen.d6074370.Vacation-Attraction), an ecological park in the jungle. You can slide, swim and paddle in its lagoons and cenotes or experience Mayan cultural performances and historical reenactments. Kids will also love Rio Secreto, a fascinating underground cave and river system you can experience on a guided tour from Playa del Carmen. #### White-sand beaches, bustling nightlife and chic shopping make this beach town one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most cosmopolitan and exciting destinations.

First, seek out this signature Yucatecan dish; you’ll find the best at unassuming taquerias, served on corn tortillas with pickled onions. To see why Mexican cuisine is world-renowned, hunt down fresh ceviche at seafood restaurants, try Oaxacan fare like *pozole verde* (green chili stew), or have a traditional breakfast of *chilaquiles* (fried tortilla chips cooked in salsa). Thanks to its large expat population, Playa del Carmen’s culinary landscape is increasingly global, featuring European-style bakeries, Caribbean restaurants, Italian-style steakhouses and vegan cafes. #### Nightlife in Playa del Carmen Nightlife begins long before darkness falls in Playa del Carmen, where sunkissed beach days blend into energetic beats that stretch into the early hours. Kick things off with a sunset cocktail and some lo-fi rhythms at a beach club. Then continue your bar crawl in town, where mezcal and tequila bars sit alongside craft beer hot spots and Cuban-style joints with salsa dancing and rum cocktails. Party-goers won’t want to miss renowned clubs with state-of-the-art themed performances. For a true Mexican fiesta, head to Parque Los Fundadores for Mayan dances, fire-breathing and plenty of food and drink stalls. #### Shopping in Playa del Carmen Quinta Avenida is the epicenter of Playa del Carmen’s shopping scene. Spend a leisurely afternoon hunting for unique gems like hand-painted ceramics, ornately embellished mirrors, embroidered blankets and real leather goods. At the street’s southern end, the open-air Paseo Del Carmen Shopping Mall is perfect for leisurely strolling, with its shady, cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings offering a mix of independent and big-name stores. For more international brands, head to the three-story Quinta Alegria Shopping Mall. Prefer something with a more local flavor? Check out the weekend night markets near the Palacio Municipal, where artisanal handicrafts, jewelry and clothing are matched by excellent street food. #### Best beaches in Playa del Carmen - For swimming - For snorkeling With an underwater cenote forming a shallow natural lagoon, Playa Punta Esmeralda is one of the best beaches in Playa Del Carmen for swimming. It’s also quieter than the main beaches near town. Nearby [Playa 88](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-88-Playa-del-Carmen.d553248635976063189.Vacation-Attraction) is a lesser-known gem where palm-flanked white sands meet calm, lifeguard-patrolled waters. Playacar is another idyllic swimming spot, known for its upmarket resorts and crystal-clear waters. Playacar is one of the best beaches in Playa del Carmen for snorkeling, offering pristine sands and waters teeming with tropical fish. The quiet [Xcalacoco Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-Xcalacoco-Playa-del-Carmen.d687399908502200320.Vacation-Attraction) is favored by locals and is a great place to see multicolored parrotfish, angelfish and hermit crabs among reefs and rock pools. For guided snorkeling tours, head 30 minutes north to [Puerto Morelos](https://www.expedia.com/Puerto-Morelos.dx180137), the closest stretch of shoreline to the Mesoamerican Reef. #### Getting around Playa del Carmen Thanks to its easy-to-navigate grid system and pedestrianized streets like Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen is very walkable. To explore off-the-beaten-track beaches, download the BiciPlaya app and use the bike-share scheme to enjoy a growing network of cycle paths. If you’re planning to visit cenotes, Mayan ruins and other attractions further afield, it’s best to rent a car or take a Playa del Carmen bus tour. #### Playa del Carmen currency and budget Tipping is standard in Playa del Carmen, and you should add around 10%-15% to your bill in restaurants. It’s best to pay in pesos for shopping, dining and activities, although U.S. dollars are accepted at some establishments. Budget around $100-$150 USD for a mid-range vacation, including accommodations, food, transportation and activities. Here is the typical cost for a few daily expenses: - A meal at an inexpensive restaurant = $10.00 USD - A pint of domestic beer = $6.00 USD - A medium cappuccino = $3.50 USD - A meal for two at a mid-range restaurant = $40.00 USD *\*Prices are provided for informational purposes and are subject to change.* #### Local greetings in Playa del Carmen While English is widely spoken in tourist areas, a little Spanish will earn you brownie points in Playa del Carmen. Start with “hola” (hello) and “buenos días” (good morning). Ask for “la cuenta, por favor” (the bill, please) in restaurants and say “gracias” (thanks). If you’re meeting someone new, it’s typical to share a hug and cheek kiss, and you might hear the greeting “mucho gusto” (nice to meet you). ## Reviews of Playa del Carmen 4.4 Top Destination 5 - Excellent 3556 4 - Good 2396 3 - Okay 583 2 - Disappointing 117 1 - Terrible 68 ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveler Great beaches, cool caves for advanced divers, warm waters, shopping. Just be careful with cash on hands and do not leave it in the room even in the safety box. We were part of bigger group, 3 out of 12 rooms in 4 hotels were missing money or items. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler Highly recommend the excursions of Rio Secreto and Chichen Itza. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler I love Playa del Carmen. The vibe in the Riviera Maya is much more relaxed than the Cancun area. I also loved 5th Avenue for the shops, people watching and restaurants. ### 5/5 - Excellent Emily Amazing city, nice people. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler Love the people, the culture, the food, the geography, the history, Mayans, etc, I think Mexico is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler Favorite destination in Mexico ## Cities near Playa del Carmen ![Puerto Morelos which includes a coastal town, tropical scenes and a beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/180137/0314afde-9141-4a8b-a52e-3ca9d636835e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Puerto Morelos ![Colorful scarlet macaw perched on a branch, Mexico](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6050868/fcf89ab7-a088-40d0-b2fa-b6a861752587.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Xcaret ![A beach with a rocky shoreline and a clear blue sky.
