Playa del Carmen
is located in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, just in middle of the Riviera
Maya. The reef breaks the waves heading to shore, which means good snorkeling,
diving, swimming and even good wading.
|
For anyone who has
not donned scuba gear before, Playa is a good place to try it out. Most dives,
like the reefs, are relatively shallow (about 12-15 m/40-50) which means divers can stay down longer.
|
The Hotel Cohiba
is a charming three-star hotel conveniently located downtown within walking distance
to the typical cafes and artisan boutiques on Playa del Carmen’s famous Quinta
Avenida and Playa’s spectacular white sand beach. This three-story white
stucco building is tastefully decorated in a Mexican Caribbean style.
|
In Playa hot, steamy
days fade to cool afternoons, an excellent time to visit the Xa-mán-Há
Aviary in Playacar. It is run by a private foundation sponsored by Situr, the
corporation behind the Playacar development. The admission fee is a reasonable
and it's well worth a visit.
|
Apart from a few
beach-side cafés, Fifth Avenue is the town's restaurant row, with a dozen
of restaurants, breakfast nooks and cafés to choose from.since the town
is only about ten blocks long, it's fun to stroll down "Quinta" and
check out where to dine.
|
There are wide ranges
of boutiques along 'Quinta' which feature an eclectic mix of handicrafts
from all over Mexico and Guatemala. The specialty shops feature masks, embroidered
or batik blouses, dresses, and silver, shell and amber jewelry.
|
During siesta Playa
is quiet, but as the sun sets the town is at its most festive. Street performers
stroll 'Quinta Avenida' Playing guitars while singing Spanish folk song,
and lovers walk hand in hand, their ruddy faces glowing in the red rays of the
setting sun.
|
From Playa it’s
only a hop, skip and a jump to Cozumel. Twin-hulled ferries depart every hour
and take takes less than that to make the crossing. Conveniently, they arrive
in the heart of the island’s one town, where tourists can find dive shops
(Cozumel main attraction) or shop in duty-free stores. The island is so close
that many people go over for breakfast rent a scooter and motor around to see
the sights.
