Hotel + Flight It is about 2 hours away from Cancun Airport towards the south (Tulum). Remember that Mexicans love speedbums, so, imagine trafic at Playa del Carmen, speciaally at 18h. Ambience Very American, for they have come here a long time ago and built their homes by the beach, cliffs. The ambience is also upper middle and high class. Ideal for Snorkelers, scuba divers. Not ideal for Singles looking for fun of a big city. What is in there? Just the beaches, a beautiful bay like the one in Xel Ha and the best coral reef from Cancun to Tulum. Shopping Almost none. Get your stuff in Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Of course, Cancun will be cheaper and with more products than Playa del Carmen. Food Mostly American. Enterteintment & culture Almost none, there is not even a movie theater. Turtles Yes, the turtles are one of the most asked questions here, so this is a scientific explanation: In April arrive the first turtles to "make baby turtles", then they get to the beaches to check out the posibles places to leave their eggs and then come back to the sea. During May, June and July, turtles come back to leave their eggs, the first turttle is "carey", then "caguama" and at the end the "white" turtle. Sometimes "laud turtle" arrives. Then we have a period of 45 or 55 days and during August and September the baby turtles are born and they start their way to the sea, of course right now there are programms to help turtles keeping them in a special place before getting to the sea, like that they are stronger and can survive predators better. Transportation Better to take a taxi or rent a car. Forget the public transportation, they drive too fast. Dress code Very relax but not hippie. Beach conditions Beautiful when they are, sometimes full of seagrass. |
