If you don't want to carry a wallet or a purse and don't want to think about where and when to eat... an All inclusive resort in Playacar is a great option.
In Playa del Carmen you can find many beautiful, comfortable and well appointed condo-suites in quiet locations or you can try Akumal, only 25 minutes south.
Tulum offers spectacular beaches, small rustic accommodations and a very interesting Mayan Archeological site. Only 1 hour drive south of Playa del Carmen.
Discover the lovely island of Cozumel, right across from Playa del Carmen, and only a short fun Ferry ride away. Small hotels, night life and GREAT diving.
What a great trip and finish to 2007..... December was exciting for the Sol Solution team. Six kids exploring a Mayan village, a sustainable community and bringing a message to other kids though song was the best finish to 2007 we could have asked for. (-:
Visit Community2025.org, a group formed to raise the awareness of kids to sustainable lving and alternative energy. Adventuring science, music and fun bring a positive approach to future solutions.
The once sleepy village of Playa del Carmen doubled twice in population in the last few years, mainly due to Europeans who discovered the alabaster-white beaches, gentle surf, coral reefs and slow lifestyle were the equal of the more expensive island of Cozumel just across the straits.
Playa's dock is the pier for the 'people ferry' to Cozumel, so it's only a short trip over to snorkel or dive on Cozumel's incredible coral reefs.
Playa del Carmen is located in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Part of the Yucatan Peninsula, only 1 hour south of Cancun. To get to Playa we recommend either renting a car (several major companies like budget or Hertz are located at the airport), its an easy drive of about 42 miles. There are taxis and shuttles available at the airport as well, costs range between 50 - 70 dollars. 307 is the major highway going south and leads to all the small towns along the beach (Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tulum etc). They recently completed the expansion of the highway making it a very easy and safe ride to and from the airport.
