Playa del Carmen guide
Playa del Carmen is one of our top choices as a vacation destination. You'll find accomodations in every price range, hundreds of great restaurants, shopping, fantastic nightlife, amazing beach clubs, and a nearly endless stretch of beautiful beach.
As an added plus,it's almost all within walking distance of your hotel.
Fifth avenue is a pedestrian-only street that runs parallel to the beach for more than 2 kilometers–1.25 miles. It's lined with restaurants, bars, and boutique stores. In the evening it's packed with tourists out for a stroll; people watching is one of the more popular forms of entertainment.
There's plenty of nightlife in Playa, with one major nightclub, dozens of smaller clubs, and every type of lounge you can imagine.
Our Playa del Carmen map & travel guide shows you the best beach clubs, our favorite restaurants, transportation, nightlife, shopping and more. Note: This guide does not show hotels. View our online hotel map for help in finding a place to stay.

About us: Perry and Laura (MapChick) have been selling maps/travel guides of the Yucatan area since 1997. We’ve traveled down almost every road (even a few we found that we weren’t supposed to be on…oops), eaten at nearly every restaurant, and visited every attraction. We love the research and exploration, and love to share our amazing finds
with you.
Our guarantee: Order our maps/travel guides; if they aren’t absolutely the most amazing travel product you’ve ever seen, just mail it back and we’ll refund the entire amount (however, we do have one request...if you choose priority mail because you need them quickly, how about you share in the risk? $5 of postage would eat up the profit from other sales).

* Overnight & priority
In the past we offered overnight delivery in the U.S.,
and priority to Canada and other countries. Postage
costs for these services ranges from $11us to $30us.
We apologize, but we were forced to discontinue
these priority services because customers that still
did not recieve their order in time would demand a
refund of the entire amount, including postage
(our policy is to refund the map price, but not the
postage).
The Canadian postal service must not be the best,
we were actually losing money on our Canadian
orders due to these refunds.
