The Fifth Avenue is Playa del Carmen's shopping and restaurant/bar area. It is a great place to visit shops and has many places to eat or just sit and enjoy a drink. Many tourists visit Playa's Fifth Avenue and Mareazul is a 5 minute drive from it.
You can take a day and visit one of several eco theme parks in the Mayan Riviera area. When driving from the airport, you will see the signs to Xel-Ha, X-Plorer...these are natural parks where you can snorkel, walk through gardens with exotic plants and birds...and eat at one of many on site restaurants. You can also drive to one of the Mayan ruins; not far from Playa is Chichen Itza; the famous pyramids.
Close to the Fifth Avenue is Playa's ferry station. This ferry can take you to Cozumel; it is only 30- 45 minutes and a great day trip. Take pesos...many places in Cozumel do not accept Credit Cards.
Mareazul offers you a wonderful vacation...you can relax, exercise, go to Fifth Avenue for excitement and travel a little further for adventure!
