Playa del Carmen Need Family Friendly Spot
Posted: Wed January 31, 2007 04:04 AM UTC
We're looking for a good resort for families that will accomadate children of varying ages (special activities for kids, babysitting, etc.) Also have a non-beach hubbie who will need other things to keep him busy - like golfing! Heard good things about ShangriLa Caribe but didn't see many special activities on site for the kiddos. Thanks!

Playa del Carmen Parking in Playa del Carmen
Posted: Mon January 29, 2007 11:20 PM UTC
We're thinking of renting a car for our week in PDC. I've read all of the advice about renting a car and driving in Mexico, but no one ever talks about parking. Is it difficult to find a place to park if your hotel does not have parking? We are staying at Blue Parrot. Will we wind up driving around for hours trying to find a spot on the street? I heard there is a public lot at 10th and Juarez, but that's $10 a day. Does anyone have any idea about parking? Thanks.

Playa del Carmen Weather for Travel
Posted: Fri January 19, 2007 09:13 PM UTC
What is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen? I am planning on going at the end of March for 9 days staying at the Omni Puerto Adventuras Beach Resort, and I am mostly concerned about the weather. Can you please tell me what are the best months to visit this beautiful beach? I don't mind a little rain and humidity but if a lot of rain dampens my vacation, it would be terrible! This is my 1st time! Thnx!

Playa del Carmen Living in PDC
Posted: Mon January 8, 2007 11:39 AM UTC
Hi; just got back from staying in an all-inclusive near Playa del Carmen and fell in love with the town of Playa del Carmen. I'm researching apartments/condos and considering retirement there in about 10 years. Anyone living there now, who moved there for retirement? The internet shows apartments/condos in PDC for just over $100,000.00 US currency. I also see very affordable houses in Huatulco which is gorgeous. Any ideas for finding a place to live much appreciated.

Playa del Carmen looking for a place to rent for a month
Posted: Sun November 19, 2006 04:38 PM UTC
Hi all
hope things are well with you all. I and my girlfriend are looking at taking some dive courses in playa del carmen, but were having a hard time finding a spot for a reasonable amount of money, most want 2500 plus for a month stay. If any of you know of anything cheap please let us know. It wouldnt have to be a really nice spot, were just regular folks looking for a place to sleep. If any one had a condo , and wanted to rent it out, that would be best, but really anything would work.from roughly dec 5 to jan 5th ,1 bedroom with a small kitcheneete, would suffice. please email me: rmackay@tavel.ca thanks

Playa del Carmen December Weather
Posted: Tue November 7, 2006 10:39 AM UTC
Hello,

I'm looking for a travel destination, around early December (1st or 2nd week), for one week.
Currently living in Europe, and thought about going to Play Del Carmen, at least that's one option.
Would just like to know, if womeone has experience, if the weather is fine during that month. I've done some researh, but on one site I see that the nb of rainy days is bigger in December, whilst on other sites I read that it's the dry season and that there won't be much rain at all.
So, anyway, I prefer asking people that really know :) (hopefully though).

Thanks in advance.

Playa del Carmen Playa del Carmen or Puerto Rico??
Posted: Thu October 19, 2006 04:24 AM UTC
Hi, I am trying to get advice on a better vacation spot during the last week of December of this year '06! I've been to Cancun and I loved it, however I wanted to travel to Playa del Carment possibly this year....OR I am also contemplating over Puerto Rico. Has anyone been to either and what are the pluses or negatives for both during December, rainy season...etc?
I know both places are in the caribbean so I'm sure the weather will still be hot, however is there ever a rainy season and what are the typical temperatures? Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Playa del Carmen Sandos Caracol resort, is it good??
Posted: Wed September 20, 2006 01:38 AM UTC
Hello,

I'm considering staying at Sandos Caracol, I found a good deal on them.

Has anyone stayed there, what was the impression?
Is it clean, do they have hot water, how was the food and the beach?

Also, how often do the shuttles run to Playa Del Carmen or is it possible to walk to the city?

Thanks in advance for the info!

Playa del Carmen Weather in the first week of October?
Posted: Wed September 20, 2006 01:27 AM UTC
Hi All,

We are going to Playa Del Carmen October 1-6th and I checked the weather and it says showers:(

Could someone tell me what kind of weather to expect?
If it will rain, does it rain the whole day or just couple hours or at all ?

Also, does anyone know good restaurants in Playa that are authentic Mexican food, not commercialized, possibly off the main tourist routes?

Thank so much!
