Fall In Love In Playa Del Carmen

Approximately forty miles south of Cancun, Mexico and overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Playa del Carmen has become a vacationer's dream, and rightfully so. The average temperature is 77 degrees and can reach as high as 95 degrees during the summer months. There is sunshine year-round, so bring your sunscreen and someone special along to help you keep your body covered in lotion. This is a vacation spot that you will never forget.

There is just no better way leave your world behind than a visit to beautiful Playa del Carmen. With so many activities to choose from, you can make memories that will last a lifetime.

Close your eyes and imagine: the sky above is the bluest you have ever seen and there's not a cloud in sight. Sitting next to you and holding a tropical drink is the person you love, who is seeing you in a whole new light, relaxed and at peace. The only big decision you'll have to make is whether you want to explore the Great Barrier Reef today or explore your wild side by participating in one of the many extreme sporting events available.

As the afternoon wears on, after you've seen the Great Barrier Reef, you and your better half head back to the room for a power nap or a little alone time. It's time to recharge your battery. The nightlife here in Playa Del Carmen doesn't begin until midnight.

It's dinner time and there are so many restaurants from which to choose. Are you in the mood for American? Italian? Mexican perhaps?

After dinner, a walk down the "strip" seems to be in order. The sun begins to set and you stroll hand in hand down Quinta Avenue. You stop at the shopping mall to pick up a few items for friends back home as well as a few items for yourself and something special for your significant other.

Nightclubs swing into action at midnight and it seems everyone is here. The atmosphere is electric, the music is powerful and the drinks are delicious. Your partner takes your hand and leads you to the dance floor where you both dance like you're teenagers. You're sweating and laughing and having the time of your lives: you only have eyes for each other. This has turned out to be much more than a vacation, it has been brought the fun back into your lives.

Morning arrives and with it, a new day of decisions: should you go diving or visit the Mayan Ruins of Tulum and Coba? There's always the Xaman-Ha Aviary with its exotic birds, or should you get on the ferry and make a quick trip to Cozumel? Or after a busy day yesterday, and a full night of dancing, maybe you should spend the day on the beach, enjoying the white sands, warm water, blue skies, and each other.

When your vacation has concluded, it is only a short 45 minute ride to the Cancun International Airport and the flight back to your hometown. You'll return feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Don't be surprised if you start counting the days until your next visit to Playa Del Carmen!
