MANDARINA'S CAFE

Located on the main 5th ave tourist strip in Playa Del Carmen, Mandarina’s cafe makes you feel like royalty. The restaurant is very elegant, has live sax or piano music and the food/service is next level!

San Miguel de Cozumel

We took the ferry from the dock next to the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen. The island is mainly a cruise ship docking point but it’s still a nice change of scenery from Cancun or playa because it’s much less developed and you feel like you’re in a completely different country since the beach and overall island is a lot less crowded with hotels, tourist buildings, etc. This is a really quick and easy day trip!

Chichén Suytun

One of the main tourist cenotes in the Cancun area. It’s extremely crowded at certain points throughout the day since it’s open to the public. Whether it’s crowded or not I still think this place is worth a visit. It’s incredible and the light beam gives it such a dreamy vibe. If you go right when it opens it won’t be very crowded, but you also may not get the light beam. If you go right at noon then the light beam will be completely centered on the circle in the middle!

experience

Xplor Park

By far the coolest adventure park I have ever been to in my entire life! Coming here is necessary and common for anyone who travels to the Cancun area on vacation and I can see why! There is no where else in the world where you can drive through the Mayan jungle, raft through ancient stalactite covered caves, swim through underground rivers and zip line over the jungle tree tops. This place is truly incredible and it’s HUGE. Whoever designed this did a fantastic job.

Hilton Playa Del Carmen

Such a great all inclusive, adults only hotel! It’s right on the beach and has amazing restaurants to choose from, so many cabanas, excellent service, hammocks on every balcony and hot tubs in every room. The pool is great and so is the beach front. They also have live shows every night and it’s located right across from the main 5th tourist area

Cenote Lu'um

This is one of the younger cenotes and Xcaret bought the property it’s located on so the only way to see it is through Xcaret’s cenotes tour. It isn’t open to the public which is nice because it will never get too crowded. It’s also extremely fun because you have to repel down into the Cenote from its largest opening which was a really unique experience

Asiana

Restaurant right off the main 5th ave tourist strip and owned by the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen. They have a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Thai food here. I loved all of the sushi (trust me I tried it all) the Thai beef salad, teriyaki beef, and duck. If you love Asian food then you will love this place
