Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is a coastal resort town in Mexico, along the Yucatán Peninsula's Riviera Maya strip of Caribbean shoreline. It is a popular tourist area in eastern Mexico. Playa del Carmen boasts a wide array of tourist activities due to its geographical location in the Riviera Maya. It has also been the destination of PGA Tour golf tournaments and the set location for various television shows.

Playa is a stop for several cruise ships which dock at the nearby Calica quarry docks, about six miles south of the city. The Xcaret Eco Park, a Mexican-themed "eco-archaeological park", is a popular tourist destination located just south of the town in Xcaret (pronounced "shkar-et").


Honeymoon to Hawaii

My fiancée and I used Michael as our travel agent when we recently booked our honeymoon to Hawaii. He was extremely knowledgeable on the area and strived to ensure we would receive the best value on our flights and accommodations. He was available and willing to chat with us morning, noon, and night and put all of our concerns at ease about making our honeymoon a truly unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Michael.
