Playa del Carmen is a smaller coastal resort town in the Riviera Maya, but it still has a lot to offer. Many travellers tend to make Playa del Carmen their next port of call after Cancun due to its spectacular beaches, lively nightlife and access to some amazing cenotes. You can spend your days hopping from one hip cafe to another or go window shopping at the boutiques along Quinta Avenida. Something you may want to try is Xcaret Park. It describes itself as a nature park but is probably closer to a theme park, offering over 50 natural and cultural attractions.
