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!
