Your
guide to quality accommodation throughout Mexico - Hotels in Playa del
Carmen & the Mayan Riviera
|
Playa
del Carmen is a city on the coast of the Caribbean Sea in the north
east of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, located at 20.62° North,
87.07° West. The city is the seat of the Solidaridad municipality.
In 2003 the city had a population of about 50,000 people, though it is
rapidly growing in population. Originally a small fishing town, tourism
to Playa del Carmen began with the passenger ferry service to Cozumel,
an island across the Cozumel Channel and world-famous scuba diving destination.
While passing through, many people realized that it was a nice place to
relax away from the crowds of Cancún but with the same quality beaches
and turquoise waters. While not as incredible as Cozumel, Playa del Carmen's
coast offers some good scuba diving opportunities, as well as cenote diving
for the more adventurous. Today Playa del Carmen, or just 'Playa'
as it is colloquially referred to, is the centre of the Riviera Maya concept,
which covers from Cancún to Tulum and the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve.
Playa is a stop for several cruise ships, which dock at the nearby Calica
quarry docks, about six miles south of the city. A Mayan-themed "ecological
theme park", Xcaret (pronounced "Shcaret") is a popular tourist destination
just south of the town. Tourist activity in Playa del Carmen centres on
the Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian walkway located just
one block inland from the beach, and lined with boutique hotels, shops,
bars and restaurants.
