Vacation Rentals in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
The more I travel, the more I find myself staying in long-term apartments or vacation rentals over hotels. Like this beautiful place I used last week in Playa del Carmen.
UPDATE: We Have A Winner!
Congratulations Shadi from Canada.
When planning a vacation, the obvious choice for most people is staying at a hotel. They’re pretty easy to find and located in the heart of your travel destination. Everyone knows about hotels.
However hotels are usually not the best deal out there.
Choosing to stay in a vacation rental apartment is a great alternative to hotels, and can even save you money. They offer more space, better amenities, and give you a feeling of home.
This month I’ve partnered up with with multiple balconies, floor to ceiling windows, and a rooftop pool.
The building was only a short walk from Playa del Carmen’s sun drenched beach — and right next to 5th Avenue, the main walking street and entertainment district full of shops, bars, and restaurants.
Now I admit these accommodations are a bit bigger and more luxurious than I’m used to, but I was also surprised to learn it’s pretty affordable if you were to stay here with a group.
With plenty of room for 6 people, and a price between $285 – $385 USD per night depending on the season. That’s only $48 – $64 per person, per night.
For a giant luxury penthouse!
However Bric Rentals doesn’t only deal in luxury properties, they have vacation apartments for all kinds of budgets — is a lounge and beach club in the heart of Playa that’s known as the place to be “seen” sunbathing by the ocean. They have beach chairs or daybeds for rent with music and waiters serving cocktails.
Swim With Sea Turtles
Akumal Beach is located about 30 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, and famous for its resident sea turtles who munch on grass under the waves. Visitors can rent snorkel gear and swim with these large graceful creatures.
Visit Mayan Ruins
Many ancient Mayan ruins surround Playa del Carmen. Spend the day exploring sites like Chichen Itza, Tulum, or Coba and live out your Indiana Jones fantasy. My favorite is Coba, as you can still climb the pyramid!
Day Trip To Cozumel
Located 40 minutes away from Playa del Carmen by boat, the island of Cozumel has some of the best snorkeling & scuba diving in the Caribbean. Or rent a dune buggy and drive around the island stopping at different scenic beaches for the afternoon.
Scuba Dive Cenotes
Cenotes are limestone sinkholes filled with fresh water that are part of a massive underground river system in the Yucatan. These swimming holes are a wonderful place to cool off from the heat of the sun, or if you’re a scuba diver, explore the deep underwater tunnels.
