OT: Playa Del Carmen, anyone???

[MRSchultz]

Hey all - in about 10 days we are headed to Playa Del Carmen for a family vacation. Anybody been there? Advise? (I know - don't drink the water), but other than that? ;-) We are planning an ATV trip through the jungle, but otherwise beachin'it! I can't wait to run on the beach.

Thanks.
Marcia.

I was suppose to go 2 years ago with friends. Grandsons birth cancelled that one.
They did tell me that the Riu Playacar hotel they made them change because it smelled of must. Bonnie said it was not as warm as they expected in Jan. They had a great time though.But also look at this years weather...
Have a great time. Pictures...

We've been the past 3 Februarys. Love it! It's warmer the later in February you go, but you'll still have a blast. There's a fabulous park you must go to called Xel Ha Eco Park. It's kind of expensive to get in but it's so worth it to go once. You can spend the day there. Check it out here http://www.cancuntravel.com/xelha.asp. It's just a little bit south of Playa del Carmen. In Playa there's lots of shopping and restaurants on 5th Avenue (you can just walk from one end to the other) in and there's a ferry that goes over to Cozumel. You should go to the ruins in Tulum. Are you renting a car or are you staying in an all inclusive? We always rent a house in Playacar. We fly into Cancun, rent a car and drive to Playa del Carmen. Feel free to e-mail me or PM me if you have any specific questions and I'll try to answer the best I can.

Have fun!

Check out www.tripadvisor.com. It's a great website where people write about their experiences and give their opinions of their hotel, activities, prices, etc. of places all over the world. I visit the website every time I plan a vacation.

Another vote to NOT miss Tulum. It is so beautiful and interesting! We have visited MANY places over the years and this is our current favorite. We were just there this past March/April.

Some members of our group just hung out at the beach and they raved about that, too!

Playa is wonderful!! I am jealous!
