Ver guía completaThe main beach in the center can be very crowded. Walk north to Punta Esmeralda or south to Playacar to find quieter areas.
Before traveling, especially between April and October, look online for reports about sargassum (seaweed). If beaches are affected, plan excursions to cenotes, ruins, or the islands of Cozumel and Isla Mujeres, which often have cleaner coastlines.
It is acceptable to haggle politely at craft markets and with street vendors, but not in established stores, restaurants or shopping centres.
If you plan to swim in cenotes or the reef, you will be asked to use biodegradable sunscreen to protect the delicate ecosystem. Buy it before your trip or at local stores.
To avoid stomach problems, avoid food from street stalls of dubious hygiene and eat in crowded and reputable places. Wash your hands frequently.
Especially at dawn and dusk, and if you visit jungle areas, use repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes.
Taxis in Playa del Carmen do not use a meter. Always ask the price and reach an agreement with the driver before starting the trip to avoid surprises.
As with any party destination, be mindful of your alcohol consumption and never leave your drink unattended.
