Things to do near Playa del Carmen vacation homes

Playa del Carmen's downtown is the heart of the destination, and the Quinta Avenida is its main artery. This pedestrian street is lined with bars, restaurants, and beach clubs, as well as boutique shops full of unique souvernirs. If you came to Riviera Maya for the history, then be sure to book a tour out to the nearby historical ruins and archaelogical sites. If natural wonders are more your speed, then head out on a snorkeling trip to one of the stunning local "cenote" sinkholes, where you'll swim among the caves in impossibly blue waters.

Climate for your stay in Playa del Carmen vacation rentals

Playa del Carmen's weather is tropical and pleasant for most of the year, but the best time to visit is in April and May. This window between spring break and summer vacation promises smaller crowds and more affordable prices, as well as nearly perfect weather. Think 70 to 80 degrees during the day, with cool evenings. October through March promises dry and warm weather, too, while summer tends to be hot, humid, and busy. Hurricane season starts in June and lasts through September, so keep this in mind when booking your Playa del Carmen vacation rental.
