So here we are at our last stop before heading home: Playa del Carmen. Although no longer the quiet fishing village it used to be, Playa is a nice alternative to the showy, big resorts of Cancun. It sort of reminds me of a Mexican version of Lahaina. The beaches are gorgeous, the water warm and clear, and the town friendly but very touristy. Lots of cruise boat passengers find their way here and ply the main drag in search of souvenirs, food, booze, and entertainment. We are staying in a nice quiet hotel just two blocks from the beach and one block from the pedestrian zone "Fifth Avenue". The town is small enough so that you can pretty much just walk to where ever you want to go. The weather is what you'd expect along the Caribbean, hot and humid. Check it out...
