Playa del Carmen Hotels

With many charming Playa del Carmen hotels close to the excellent beaches and
turquoise waters for which the city is famous, there are many options for anyone
seeking a relaxing, romantic, or even adventurous beach vacation.

The city of Playa del Carmen is situated on the

coast of the Caribbean Sea, and located in the
northeast part of Quintana Roo. The third-
largest city in the state of Quintana Roo (after
Cancún and Chetumal), its 2005 census
population was just over 100,000 and continues
to grow rapidly.

Once a small fishing village, Playa del Carmen

has since become the Riviera Maya's central
location, and a popular stop-over port for numerous cruise ships. The Riviera
Maya is perfect for adventure trips as the area has numerous large environmental
recreational areas; great beaches for relaxing and making sand sculptures; and clear
turquoise water for exceptional diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing activities.

Other nearby attractions include the Mayan archaeological ruins at Tulum, Chichén
Itzá and Cobá; the eco-parks Xel-Há and Xcaret; cenotes or underwater wells; and
the facilities and attractions of Cancun and the island of Cozumel, both less than an
hour away by car or ferry, respectively.

During the high season it can get very crowded and the Playa Carmen hotels and
resorts are typically full. That’s why it’s best to have booked your reservations
well ahead of the rush.
