A typical day in Playa del Carmen – Photo journal

Curious what a typical day in Playa del Carmen would be? The Riviera Maya has a ton of things to entertain you and admittedly, there is not a typical day, where routine sets in and you find predictable things to do, and little excitement. Each day brings a day that you can design for yourself or you can let the day unfold and take you where it decides to take you.

5th ave night walk-HOtel Cielo

Needed a long walk after that dinner, skipped late night cocktails, walked 5th Ave and called it a night as I know that the sun wakes up at 615 am and I don’t want to miss my morning sunrise!

That was a day in Playa del Carmen taken by a guest that decided to share his experience. Thank you for your photos, a journal of your adventures and sharing this with all of us! Loving these photo journals as they do speak louder than words!
