This time of year in the Riviera Maya, the coastal area south of Cancun which includes the popular destination of Playa Del Carmen, the ocean is at its best. With the sudden slowdown in travel to Mexico, there are some great deals to be found with lower prices, more freedom, and less crowds.
Playa Del Carmen is one of the top tourist destinations in the Americas, which lends to its eclectic and multicultural feel. The highlights of the area are the miles of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean. Diving, fishing, snorkeling, sailing and swimming are some of the many activities that vacationers choose to participate in. Mayan Ruins throughout the region provide a great avenue for those interested in this vast history. And the nightlife compares to many international cities, if not better.
If you are going to the area here are some great leads of gay-friendly hotels and restaurants
Hotel Tropical CasaBlanca This is an oasis in the middle of town, close to all amenities, and across the street from the beach. The hotel is gay friendly and will support exchange of vows ceremonies in their private cenote.
Cocina 38 A cannot be missed restaurant away from the popular La Quinta. The Guatemalan chef has trained in Madrid, London and Mexico and creates some of the most exotic dishes this side of the globe. Cocina 38 is located on 5th Avenue between 38th and 40th Streets in Playa del Carmen.
Playa 69 A gay bar in the middle of town that is not public. Though difficult to find, ask locals and they can tell you where it is located. Playa 69 is located on 5th Avenue between Calles 4 and 6.
