Family travel

Playa de Carmen was beautiful, I’ve gone 4 times already and I always find new thing to do! I would recommend booking a place close to the 5th ave., it’s a street that has literally everything. Restaurants, bars, vendors, and the beach is about 3 to 4 blocks away.

Family travel

We had a lot of fun. It was a bit of a different vacation for us as we didn't have a car so we had to stick to walking distance from where we were staying....with kids that get "tired" quick lol. The beaches are gorgeous and always a good time if you have beach bums like me. Even in November, it was warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities. Safety was never a concern for us but my husband does speak Spanish fluently so that helped! Tourist center of Playa del Carmen IS expensive compared to other areas of Mexico but that's to be expected.

Group travel

Traveling to Playa del Carmen was one of the best experiences I’ve had. It was so lush and tropical, the culture was so rich and vibrant. It was very affordable to go out and explore and shop around local markets and streets. I never felt unsafe and it was mostly always populated and busy. Definitely will be going back!

I feel safe to walk around any time of day being mindful and aware same as I would anyplace. The stress and sidewalks are uneven so be mindful of that to not fall. I walk often with friends along the main tourist avenues that are very brightly lit by shops and hanging lights. People are a friendly mix

It's safe even when you can read a lot of things about Mexico! Of course, there's a lot of people around from a lot of different countries and sometimes when people drink they do stupid things but everything it's good, no worries 👍

Don’t walk alone after dark - always go places with someone. Know where not to go. If you’re in doubt, ask. I only ever take cabs and send my live location to a family member on WA. otherwise really good!
