Downtown Playa del Carmen vacation rentals

Tropical dreams in Downtown Playa del Carmen

Uncover stunning palm-lined beaches and endless family fun in Downtown Playa del Carmen, a sunny tropical getaway on Mexico’s famous Riviera Maya that’s a favorite of travelers the world over. From once-in-a-lifetime snorkeling adventures along miles of coral reefs filled with colorful marine life, to family picnics and sandcastle-building contests with the kids, there’s no better way to soak up warm Caribbean days on the Yucatan Peninsula. Downtown Playa del Carmen vacation rentals keep you close to the action, whether you prefer to stay in a luxurious beachfront condo or a charming casita just steps from swanky shops and top-notch dining options.  

Bustling Downtown Playa del Carmen

While spending every day of your vacation napping on the sand at the beach or racing through the waves on a boat tour may sound enticing, allotting some time to check out the city’s commercial center is also a must. The action takes place around Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian-friendly zone just blocks off the beach. Here you’ll find shopping and dining options to satisfy every taste, from trendy retail chains to kitschy souvenir stores, and from casual coffee shops to world-class restaurants. A number of quirky museums and art galleries around town make for great breaks from the sun as well.

Sunny days year-round in Playa del Carmen

Sunny afternoons on the Riviera Maya are best spent soaking up the rays and enjoying the tropical sea breezes, and Playa del Carmen’s year-round highs in the 80s mean any day is ideal to spend outdoors. Since summer brings the rainier hurricane season, the period between October and March tends to be the most popular time to visit, and you’ll want to book early to snap up the dates you prefer. Seek out a Downtown Playa del Carmen vacation rental that includes a pool to splash around and swim with the kids in your oasis while avoiding the crowds near the sea.
