We do get a zillion customer request from our hotel guests and most of them we can share. We thought that if we shared these requests with you, you could find out what people are requesting, what they find the need or want while on vacation and get some ideas for your next vacation to Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.
Customer requests at Hotel Cielo

Chez Celine is where we love to eat pastries, Carboncitosis where we love to hang for drinks and Mexican food. Ah Cacao is where we love, love, love to have coffee and chocolate.

Coffee plantations are known for not treating or paying their coffee...

Days off are few and far between, it is true and we have little opportunity to really hang and do the fun things that guests do while on vacation, but we do have a few things that we love to do when there is a minute to chill.
What a local likes to do in Playa del Carmen

The Mayan Riviera and Playa del Carmen are the center of our universe so we forget that not everyone knows where Playa del Carmen is and what actually makes up the Mayan Riviera, or in spanish, the Riviera Maya. Read this post cautiously. Once you find out where the Riviera Maya is located, what it has to offer, learn about Playa del Carmen and the beauty of this city, you may just travel here, travel again, and find that you too have the Riviera Maya and Playa del Carmen as the center of your universe. It happens, and it happens more than you think. The area is a magical and really is more than...
