Playa del Carmen
Caribbean beach with the best value on the Riviera Maya.
Travellers come here for beaches, nightlife, meeting people and food.
When to go
Aim for February, March and January. Think twice about September, October and June — that is the wet season.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
