Safety in Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is generally safe for female travelers. The city is a popular tourist destination and has a large police presence to ensure the safety of visitors. Women should take the same precautions as they would in any other city, such as avoiding walking alone at night and being aware of their surroundings. Additionally, it is recommended to stay in well-lit and populated areas, and to avoid carrying large amounts of cash. With these precautions, female travelers should have a safe and enjoyable experience in Playa del Carmen.

Solo travel experience

I stayed in Playa Del Carmen for a week and I felt relatively safe walking around during the day. The nighttime is when it gets a bit chaotic on the main street, which I wouldn't go alone.

Solo travel experience

I went to Playa del Carmen for my first solo trip. I was 2 blocks from the beach and about 3 blocks from La Quinta (5th Ave). I enjoyed my time on the Ave and did a few excursions.

Solo travel experience

I enjoyed my solo trip to Playa Del Carmen. Tons of tours and cheap (safe) airbnbs to choose from. Pretty walkable. Taxis everywhere. Excellent food. Beautiful beaches. Cheap buses that go from town to town and can also take you to Mayan ruins.

Couple travel experience

I just came back from an all-inclusive trip to Playa del Carmen and it was absolutely gorgeous! We stayed at the Royal haciendas and we loved everything about it. It was more of a laid-back kind of vacation but that’s exactly what we were looking for so it was perfect. Plus the food was amazing!
