Places To Visit. Developed after the rise of Cancun, these cities are less populated and come with a lifestyle that is focused on the beach and local cenotes. It is not uncommon to hear various European languages, Spanish, and English spoken everywhere by both staff and visitors. This is not the hospitality landscape in Cancun. It is easy for a visitor and locals to walk to restaurants, local attractions, and to the beach. Playa del Carmen has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade but has retained its neighborhood feel in the downtown core.
What we do appreciate is the recent addition of arts and cultural activities that Playa did not have just a few years ago. This urban mix retained a local feel to the cities where visitors and residents mix, happily. This neighborhood feel makes the cities of the Riviera Maya friendlier, more local, and information about where to go and what to do easily exchanged.
This main artery connects local attractions to visitors with easy, making exploring a pleasure, inexpensive and really easy to navigate. Most Riviera Maya visitors and locals visit cenotes, other small cities, Mayan ruins, and local cultural attractions with greater flexibility than Cancun visitors. We understand all too well the differences between Cancun and the Rivera Maya. We also understand the nuances of both locations. What we love is the diversity of the two areas. We live in the Riviera Maya so we can enjoy the ease of exploring, smaller communities, and direct access to the beach.
We value the mix of visitors and locals, and love that we can have tacos on one corner and a burger on the other.
We also appreciate the benefits of Cancun. Brand name shopping is useful think Costco or the Apple Store and in the old days Cancun was the place you had to shop. Just offshore along the Riviera Maya is the Playacar reef. This is one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, second only to the great barrier reef of Australia and a lot closer to home!
Snorkeling and scuba diving rank high on everyone's "to do" list that visit here. The jungle here offers cenotes which are caves that offer even more unique diving and snorkeling experiences. In addition there are zip lines, quad tours, hiking, biking and ecological parks for your family to enjoy. Of course safety is always a primary concern for any family vacation. To many inexperienced travelers, the word Mexico doesn't seem to belong in the same sentenence with the word "safe".
Take another look at our first map here. The majority of drug problems and violence in Mexico takes place along the border towns between California thru Texas.
The Riviera Maya and Yucatan is far away from this area. This is like saying no body should visit anywhere in the United States because we have gang violence in LA. Tourism is a huge revenue maker for the Mexican government and tourism areas like the Riviera Maya are very well protected. I say this not just as a travel agent but as a mother who has traveled here MANY times over the years.
I've visited with my kids and I often visit as a woman alone when I go to review hotels. Never once have I ever been made to feel worried or unsafe. Truth be told, the exact opposite is true. Mexico offers some of the warmest and best hospitality known the world over The only warning we have for you is that you may not want to ever take your family any place else!
