Playa del Carmen Hotels

playa del carmen is a gorgeous resort, a real mixture of colourful shops, bars and restraunts, then off all the avenues is some real mexican eateries.
The beach is lovely, though a little crowded for me.
Its great to haggle the shop owners, they are so friendly.
Taxi\'s are really cheap too.

Once your out of the hotel you walk along what seems to be a residential street, with lovely looking houses down each side. It is a gated area therefore you do not have to worry about security etc.
Along the road is some little shops selling jewellery and gifts etc but further on you will come to a shopping mall called fifth avenue. There is an wide range of shops from designer to tacky, staff will ask you to go into their restaurants but once you say no that seems to be suffice.
The beach is lovely and clean and the sun beds are in good condition.
Would I visit this resort again? YES without a doubt.
