Fountain in downtown Playa del Carmen PLAYA DEL CARMEN The friendly people of Playa, as Playa del Carmen is locally known, think their sundrenched coastal city is more sophisticated than Cancun due to its chic style and European ambiance. And while you’re snorkeling over massive coral reefs mere steps away from the beach or strolling along the 20 blocks of shops and restaurants on pedestrian-only Quinta Avenida, you may agree. You’ll also agree that this town has a tranquil vibe that is easy to soak in. You can spend many blissful hours here putting your photography skills to the test at Tulum, the Maya walled city built atop a cliff facing the Caribbean, collecting birdies at the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleón golf course or simply enjoying a private beach cabana on your resort’s exclusive stretch of beach.
