We absolutely loved our 6 weeks in Playa del Carmen. PDC is centrally located to so many great activities in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico that it made for a great jumping off point for loads of adventures.

Here's what "BEST" means to me:
- Not crowded
- Not feeling unsafe to leave small things behind when I go to swim
