Although Playa del Carmen doesn't draw as many visitors as nearby Cozumel or Cancun, that might also be what makes it great. Far from the sleepy fishing village it once was, you'll find plenty of bars, restaurants, hotels and shops here, but the beaches are less crowded and you can still find some good deals on accomodation. If you're looking for laid-back, this is a perfect place to let the hours slide by on white sand and contemplate nothing more than the shimmering turquoise waters and dazzling sunsets. There is some good scuba diving here too, and if you're into attractions, the nearby Mayan-themed ecological park, Xcaret, is just South of town. To get Playa del Carmen travel ideas based on the things you like, check out the top recommendations about what to see and do as well as where to eat, shop and stay in the city on Tripbase.
