The honey and I have been trying to plan our 2008 vacation for some time. The current plan for our week-long trip is Playa del Carmen! I've read that it's a lot less commercial than Cancun, and I've always wanted to visit the Mayan ruins, since I studied them in college as an anthropology major. Here are the things that sound really fun:
- Mayan ruins - I read that Chichen Itza is a better visit than Tulum if you only have time for 1
- cavern diving
- trip to an eco-park (Xcaret or Xel Ha?)
- swim with dolphins
- nightlife - I read about some nightclub in a cavern in Playa del Carmen, that sound cool
- and plenty of beach-lounging
Based on a Frommer's guide, we're thinking about staying at the Shangri-La Caribe. We're planning on going in November for 7-8 days.
So, neighbors, have any of you been to Playa del Carmen or Cancun? Do you have any recommendations, must-sees, "don't"s, etc.? Thanks in advance!
P.S. I am hoping my work sends me to Tokyo in July and Amsterdam in September (and the honey and I are dying to visit Tokyo and some friends in Okinawa)... more on this later!
