Things to do in Playa del Carmen: Playa del Carmen boasts miles of sandy, palm lined beaches, bordered by the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. Dozens of varied restaurants and hotels are available to meet any budget or taste, and a tranquil and serene atmosphere and attitude that you won't find in tourist meccas like Cancun or Cozumel.

Hit the beach and enjoy many watersports from windsurfing to scuba diving, jetskiing to peaceful snorkeling. Lie on the beach and tan, or boogie the night away to live music at a local hotspot. Take a short daytrip and visit Mayan ruins nestled in the jungle at Coba, or overlooking the Caribbean at Tulum. Visit the natural aquariums at Xel-Ha, or the nearby park at Xcaret.

Stroll along the new pedestrian walkway and discover fine dining and great shopping opportunities. Take a day trip and have an adventure...centoes, snorkeling, ruins, swimming, lagoons - it's all amazing!

Discover the Mayan ruins of Tulum!: Playa del Carmen has some interesting Mayan ruins near by, but if you want to see some truly magnificent pyramids you'll want to visit these sites. Tulum is about a 45 minute ride (by bus, taxi, or rental car) south of Playa del Carmen. The only Mayan city built directly on the sea, Tulum is thought to date from 400-900A.D. After exploring the ruins and enjoying the spectacular view from atop EL CASTILLO.

Don't forget to bring your swim suit! You can take a refreshing dip in the Caribbean from the pristine beach in front of the site. Tulum is the most visited Maya ruin and is the biggest attraction on the coast. It was the only Maya city built on the coast, possibly having housed 2000 people and once functioned as a trade center. There is no question why Tulum holds great significance to the Mayans.

We definitely recommend visiting Tulum, it can be done in half day or a full day, and it's a wonderful opportunity to explore the mysterious and very impressive Mayan world!

Eating in Playa del Carmen & Some Recommendations: There are nearly 75 restaurants in Playa, with foods of every type and price range.

Ah Cacao Chocolate Café, 5ta Ave. at Constituyentes. A chocolate-themed coffee shop, selling chocolate in all its forms (including pure cacao beans). Famous for the brownies. Probably serves the best lattes and espresso in Playa.

Babes Noodles and Bar: Very popular restaurant bar serving Thai-style noodles, loud music, and lots of beer. Two locations: Calle 10 between 5th and 10th, and 5th Ave. between calle 26 and 28.

El Asador de Manolo - Argentine owned restaurant with the best steaks in Playa! Located on 5th Avenue between 30 and 32 Streets.

Ileana's Il Pescadore located on the North end of Playa, a newly renamed Italian Restaurant that is a must on any visit to Playa.

La Casa del Agua is on 5th Avenue at 2nd Street, Playa del Carmen. Great ambiance; the Calamari at lunch was excellent !

La Cueva del Chango -Calle 38. Contemporary Mexican cuisine in an offbeat 'jungle garden' setting.

Playa del Carmen is one of the fastest growing and most fun towns in the Caribbean. An international mix of fun loving travelers come here to enjoy a family vacation, party with friends, enjoy the beaches and just generally immerse themselves in the tropical splendor of it all.

Playa del Carmen or 'Playa' as it's known to the locals, is in the middle of the Riviera Maya in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico's Caribbean vacationland. This place is tons of fun with amazing beaches, fabulous restaurants, loads of attractions and the ferry to Cozumel which runs numerous trips daily. There are taxis everywhere and a couple bus terminals for connections to Riviera Maya vacation resort towns and other parts of Mexico. Playa del Carmen is only 45 minutes from Tulum ruins, or Cancun. It's central location makes it convenient to all the sights & adventures on Mexico's tropical Caribbean coastline.

Other Activities: There's so much to do in Playa, it's hard to know where to begin! Start with a day sunbathing at the beach, go to a beach club and sip a margarita, or just sit at the beach, read your favorite book while you enjoy the sound of the waves and the gentle breeze of the Caribbean! Enjoy live music and loads of festivals on the beach during the months of December and January. If you are a more adventurous and sports kind of person, there are loads of watersports available, try the newest thing in Playa: kitesurfing! Or, rent a waterski, go snorkeling and diving. You will find some of the best reefs in the world! as A popular activity amongst all tourists and locals alike is strolling all along Playa's famous 5th Avenue where you will find shopping, Mexican curiosities, all kinds of restaurants, and the frendliest people in the world! At night time you, walk to 5th Avenue and 12th Street and choose from a varity of fantastic nightclubs, bars, and restaurants for all ages and music styles.

Golf: Do you love golf? There are some fabulous golf clubs in Playa del Carmen and 10-15 minutes away. The closest one to the Penthouse is Golf Club at Playacar. It is located about 10 minutes away. This magnificent par 72 golf course with a distance of 7,144 yards was designed and constructed under the supervision of the famous Architect Robert Von Hagge and is surrounded by a diversity of lakes and exuberant vegetation and is considered the most challenging Course of the region.

There are three other fabulous Golf Clubs near Playa, about 15-20 minutes away. Golf Club Iberostar Playa Paraiso is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course, designed by P.B. Dye. Golf Club Iberostar Playa Paraiso displays a unique design, that meet the standards of any world- class golf course. Golf Club El Camaleon Mayakoba is a work of art designed by Greg Norman located in the supreme luxury resort 'The Fairmont Mayakoba'. This 18-hole, par 72, ows its name toof its diverse layout and ever-changing landscape, which bends through the tropical jungle, dense mangrove, stunning oceanfront stretches of sand and long channels with limestone borders. This multifaceted golf course has a 360-yard double-sided driving range. But there is a lot more to it, the “Club Car Precedent” golf cart fleet, is equipped with GPS yardage information software.

Great place and location!

The best place and location in Playa del cermen'. It was a fantastic location only a steps away from the beach, restaurants, shops, and nightclubs. The condo was all very clean and the building. There was a full-sized kitchen with modern and new appliances including a water purification system which was an added bonus. The condo also has spacious and luxury seating and dining areas and the bedrooms were perfect for our family. There was a full-sized washer and dryer, which was handy towards the end of our stay. The condo had plenty of closet space, storage, and a safe for locking up valuables. We were glad that the condo had beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrella to take to the beach which saved us from having to buy.

We were able to find many restaurants to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner all within a few minutes walk. . There was no need to rent a car (although you could) as taxis were available all day and the cost was no espensive to get around Playa and the surrounding areas including tourist attractions.

e were extremely happy with our stay and plan to return again very soon.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your preference. im really happy you enjoyed your stay at Penthouse Caribbean Dream. I need to thank you for being so wonderful guests. I liked your enthusiasm and your friendlyness. I hope to see you again and remember that this is your second home! Cheers

Great Place for Families

  • Submitted: Jun 12, 2012
  • Stayed: May 2012
Stayed for 9 nights and loved just about everything about the house. Had plenty of room for the entire family and the house is comfortable and felt like home right away. Had everything you need. Everything was clean and ready for us. Private rooftop area is awesome and because the complex is not always full, you get to have the rooftop pool all to yourself most of the time. Neighbor is great with everything a 3-5 minute drive or a short walk or bike ride away. Beach is great. Not really a ocean view as you can only see a small partial view from the patio and make sure they explain in detail how to work the jacuzzi. Other than that, the place is awesome.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much for your review and your stay in Penthouse Caribbean Dream! Im happy to know you really enjoy our property and Playa Del Carmen. The private rooftop area or terrace is also our favorite place, we love to be at the jacuzzi or at the lounge sofas. My kids love the hammock! We would like also to have a greater view to the ocean from our balcony, nonetheless the view form the rooftop area is awesome and the beach couldn´t be closer. Our property manager told us you and your family are very nice people We hope to have you and your family again as our guests in the future. Thank you for your preference!

Cheers,

Wendy

First Time in Playa del Carmen

  • 2 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 6, 2012
  • Stayed: May 2012
Condo was clean but wasn't set up as well as we expected as far as the basics. There wasn't any hand soap in any of the bathrooms, there was really nothing to cook with, there was only enough dishwasher soap for one run through (sorry I'm not doing dishes by hand while on vacation) and the grill's starter wasn't working. There were matches but no strike box. The location was further out than what we anticipated and not really close to a market for groceries. We were able to get to the Mega and the cab ride home was 50 pesos so not a big deal. The beach was not up to expectations. It seemed to be for the locals which in itself is ok but when we walked through, I saw more people sitting with 40oz beers which made it a little uncomfortable to walk through with our children. We were able to walk to Mamitas (sp) which helped. It wasn't really close to the 5th Ave. which could be a good thing depending on what you're looking for but it was further out than what we had hoped for. When we were there, we couldn't find the convertible bed so one of our sons ended up sleeping on the couch for the entire stay. However we did feel safe wherever we went and it was quiet at night. Overall I wouldn't recommend Playa del Carmen for families. There seemed to be more couples.

Owner's Response: Dear Patrick,

Thank you for staying with us in Penthouse Caribbean Dream! Im sorry you didn´t liked our beautiful caribbean beach. You saw many locals because beaches in Mexico are not private, are for all people, you wont find any exclusive beach for US citizens. Many people preferr being with locals because Playa del Carmen has an international comunitty and could be interesting talking to people from different places of the world. Playa is an excelent place to spend with your couple and has an excellent night life for grown ups, none the less is a place that has amazing nature parks, beach activities and many otheer places to have fun. 5th Ave. is at 5 minute walk, the same distance to Mamitas Beach Club. It is not our responsability to have groceries or food basics and personal bath products, the guests are responsible for aquiring their own stuff. Thank you for your review, we will try to immprove our service and hope you will visit us again in the future.

My husband and I just returned from staying 5 nights at Caribbean Penthouse Dream and we thought it was an excellent value. The condo itself was very spacious, clean and brand new. Although the unit does not offer real ocean views because of its location in the building, it is very bright and the view from the rooftop was great. (There is one terrace off the dining area that offers a partial ocean view) The beach is just across the street and although it is not a private beach, it was just fine for our needs. There were many parts of the the stretch that had currents (red flags) but the beach near the condo was lovely and calm. Since we didn't have beach chairs, we went to the Canibal Beach Club everyday for lunch (excellent food!!) and could've stayed the whole day and used their beach lounges/chairs for spending 150 pesos per day on food/drink...a GREAT deal!
The rooftop pool area at the condo was never crowded although it was high season. The poster beds near the pool, although they were not designated to the PH guests-- were great & available every time we went up to use them. We normally stay at condos with daily maid service, but actually enjoyed NOT having someone coming in every/other day. We did not need it, so why pay for it? Great idea to have it available but not mandatory. We loved having Wifi and purified water throughout the unit. (Wifi not available on private PH terrace.) Some things I would suggest: more towels, beach chairs, TV in master bedroom would be really nice!, figuring out a way to fill jacuzzi with hot water before it gets cold.
The great thing about staying in this condo in Playa is that it is accessible to everything! 5th Avenue is so close but not too close that you hear the noise. The restaurants on this end of 5th Ave are EXCELLENT. We are foodies from Boston and travel all over the world and PDC has some incredible restaurants. Our favorites for dinner include ComoComo and PachaMama (next to each other between Call 36-38.) For lunch everyday, we went to Canibal Beach Resort (on the other side of The Elements).I would include this info in the Guest Info Book at the Condo. Also include spending the day at Canibal for spending 150 pesos/pp on food drink. We did some food shopping for breakfast items at a nearby supermarket and then had THE BEST COFFEE/Latte at Ah Cacao. We bought some to bring home.
All in all, this was my 5th time to PDC and I've stayed at Luna Encantada and the Elements. This was the best value. Thank you!

Increible Playa del Carmen, las playas, el mar, la quinta avenida y el Penthouse con lujo inigualable, Primera vez en playa y seguro volvemos para el verano, nos vamos enamorados y nuestra estancia en el condominio fue de lo mas placentera. La alberca con sus camas fueron de nuestras favoritas, el jacuzzi por las noches junto con unos vinos y la fiesta en la terraza hicieron nuestras noches. Recomiendo ampliamente el condominio, esta cerca de todo, mamitas y cannibal beachclubs a minutos, la quinta caminando y la playa la teniamos a un minuto de distancia. Todos nos vamos felices y agradecemos a los propietarios por todas sus atenciones y hacernos nuestra estancia mas comoda. Excelente lugar para descansar y disfrutar de playa, lo recomiendo.
