Playa del Carmen, MEXICO: why you must visit
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- Playa del Carmen is a charming beach community in Mexico, well-known for its laid-back atmosphere. In addition to enjoying the beach, you can see cenotes (freshwater sinkholes) nearby, go for a stroll on the touristy Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), and obviously, enjoy the fantastic Mexican food.
But can you do that without breaking the bank? As prices in Playa are sometimes in dollars, you quickly realize that many things mainly cater to foreign tourists. And yes, you absolutely can. And you can have a great time.

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

You are most welcome
I really enjoyed your video.
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures
Glad you enjoyed it. thank you so much for watching
I knew exactly what Gordon meant when he said “Cabo Frio warm”. I was in Rio in January when it was 100 degrees out and let’s just say the water was brisk. Looking forward to the Cancun video.
HAHA yes, not tropical warm these waters but refreshing
Cool place!! I've never heard of a cenate before - it looked like so much fun! Great video!
Thank you. Neither did I. And there quite a few of them on the Yucatan peninsula.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
So nice of you
@@RenataPereiraTV 😁
Nice things to do in Playa Del Carmen. I like your video content on Cenote!!!
Thanks so much!
maxico is tourist place every where looking clean thanks for showing madam 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Beautiful place
It really is! Thanks for watching
One of my favorite cities in, so far my favorite states in Mexico, Quintana Roo. I spent a year in the state before and during the beginning of the pandemic, I was happy to be grounded there by the airlines. At least 8 months of my stay was in PDC. This video tour is making me want to return to the area soon than planned. In PDC, I stayed mostly in the areas where the locals lived during the part of my time living there.
Thank you for sharing. So cool you got to spend so much time there. Any recommendations we did not cover in the video?
@@RenataPereiraTVI think you did a great job, so much changes in a short time since the pandemic, places, like one of my favorite taco vendors located on the other side of town might not still exist. Though I've been back to Quintana Roo, I was last in PDC Sept of 2020. When I returned to QR, I stayed another few months, but, mostly spent that time in Cancun, Tulum and Isla Mujeres. I haven't been back to QR since early 2021. Next time I returned to Mexico, I was in Puerto Vallarta and a few other cities in Jalisco. I had to finally force myself to visit another country, but, my heart belongs to Mexico.
@@rosaglem1905 That’s so nice ❤️. Hope you can go back soon 😍❤️
i love the cheese that they use for quesadillas. cenote azul looks good. didn’t have the chance to check it out when we were there but we visited cenote cristalino and cenote eden. they’re both amazing. cenote eden is great for snorkeling and cliff jumping. love your videos. very informative. can’t wait to go back.
Thank you for watching and sharing. We will visit more cenotes when we return
Your sooo happy 😊 its very refreshing thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you! This is our life...so much fun discovering new places. Thank you for watching!

Hello and thanks for watching
Читал что десятки миллионов лет назад на полуостров юкотан упал метеорит ,который убил динозавров.Красивая там природа,и как всегда отличное у вас видео👍
Я думаю, вы вполне можете быть правы. Посмотрите наше видео о Косумеле... мы на пляже, где каменистый пляж выглядит как вулканическая пористая скала. Гордон упомянул, что это может быть из-за метеорита. Это было захватывающее место, чтобы увидеть. Спасибо за поддержку
Beautiful movie 😍 new sub and bell ❤
Thanks and welcome to the channel. We appreciate your support
🌹❤РЕНАТА привет, спасибо за красивое видео
добро пожаловать
Hello renatinha good sunday for you.
Let me study english hear your vidio
Hello 😊 study well and keep getting better
Thank You Renata as always another good one from you and Gordon and i was wondering of all the beaches that you have been to which one did you like the most ?
Well, I love my Cabo Frio in Brazil....so many good times in my youth.
Looking forward to boat trip.
Thanks...coming right up
I would love to see you go to Akumal!
Looks absolutely beautiful. We will return to cover more of the Riviera in the future. Thanks for the suggestion
Like playa del Carmen 😁
Beautiful it is.
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
👍🙂👏🙋🧿 Thanks
ADNAN EROĞLU'ya tekrar teşekkür ederiz.

Renata: I really LOVE to watch your remarkable videos so much in joy. You're just a funny lovely lady that attracted me so much to watch your great videos in joy 2022!
Wow, thank you
When are you planning to releases a new videos in September of 2022?
So cute
Thanks
Nice
Thanks
If you want to try something different next time, there is a Restaurant/bar/disco more in town named Alux (named after the kind of "elves" in the zone), it is under ground in a cavern similar to the ones that create the cenotes but with out water.
Thank you for the suggestion
Cute !
Thanks for watching
Cute video
Thank you
Great Video! May I ask what camera you used to film this? Looks amazing. Love the look. : )
For this primarily Go Pro Heros 10
Great series on Mexico. Just booked our 30th anniversary trip to Cancun and Playa Del Carmen with plans for a side trip to Tulum. Any advice for renting a car (from the airport) and taking stops along the way to Tulum?
Thank you gary I appreciate that. Congratulations! I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I would reconsider Tulum. There seems to be a turf war there and if true, even it's citizens were telling tourists to stay away. This was several months ago so I would definitely Google search the latest news. We skipped it at the time. I can not speak to renting a car on the main land as in our videos we took the inter city bus.
@@RenataPereiraTV Thanks for the quick response. We were just planning only to visit the Mayan Ruins near Tulum as that's a closer drive to Playa Del Carmen. I'll keep an eye on the US State Dept Travel Advisory which as of now doesn't have it as a high-risk area. travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html
I’ve been here for awhile.Have met people from at least 20 different countries.PDC is much more international than people think.
Yes, I know. Thanks for sharing
@@RenataPereiraTV 👍
I love how us Canadians are called snow birds🤣
HAHA, the great migration...every winter 👍😂
@@RenataPereiraTV very much so!!😂🤣
The most beautiful cenotes are the ones inside the caves Valladolid Yucatán has 2 on the main plaza
Thank you for sharing Lorena Ledger 👍😀
Amazing video Renata...thanks. When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen? Is Sept good...thinking of visiting for our anniversary next year.
To be honest...September is peak hurricane season...August/Sept/Oct. Now hurricanes are rare but for an anniversary I would hate that to be spoilt.. Late Nov into March is probably your best time weather...Mar/Apr is spring break with all the college kids and then moving into June is when chances of sargassum are high because of warmer seas.
Islands further south in the Caribbean are outside the storm path...that may be a better bet.
@@RenataPereiraTV thank you so much for your reply. Super helpful.
Love your video! How are the beaches in playa del carmen? Is the water clear blue like Isla mujeres?
Hello and thanks. The beaches/water were great. And yes, when we were there...beautiful water.
Wow. Renata. What camera do u use. Your videos are flawless. Salu✌🏽
How do you use the Colectivo to get from Playa to Cenote Azul? Does it take you back as well? And is that in the same location?
Hi! I'm planning a trip to Playa del Carmen in May! I was just wondering if the cenote had life jackets that could be rented? :)
Yes, one can rent life jackets at the cenote. Enjoy your trip
Hi
Thanks for the imfo. We are planning to go playa del Carmen. But also love your bathingsuite. Where can I buy it?😊
Aww! That's so sweet, thanks! I got it on Amazon. There's a direct link on my Amazon store if that makes it easier 😉: www.amazon.com/shop/renatapereira
Great content I had to subscribe love from London 💕💕
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate the support. We will be in London May next year.
Hi! I’m planning a trip for my parents next month. What are your thoughts on Hilton Playa del Carmen? Please let me know if you have other recommendations for all-inclusive for seniors
Unfortunately, I can't speak to All in Inclusives, or this particular resort. I have a love hate relationship with them. I will have a video about this in a week describing my experience. Reach out to me then with any questions and I will try to help.
@@RenataPereiraTV thank you for your response! I actually have another question, so I sent you a message on Instagram
Thanks for the information it was awesome! I have some questions to get to the cenote where do you get the shuttle from? Where do I find the shuttles in Playa del Carmen? How much is it to get there? Do you tip in American money? We are staying at Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen? Thanks so much ❤️
Thanks. To answer your questions:
1. Right behind Mcdonalds one block from Av Benita Juarez and the main highway Chetumal Cancun. Google maps
2. I think around 35 pesos each and each way
3. Yes, we tipped
Check with your hotel if there is a closer Colectivo station. Enjoy your visit
Hi renata, how did you get the transportation to the cenote azul?
We asked in our hotel where to get a “colectivo “ to Cenote Azul (it’s the same that goes to Tulum). We got most of the directions right, but got lost at the end, as the terminal is a little hidden, so we just asked around. There’s a proper terminal (you don’t need to get it out on the street), but I forgot the name of the place. Still, it’s easy to find when you ask around 😊
How is the restaurant called ? Where you had taco and quesadilla
NYC
We have NYC video up already. Did you see them?
It’s neat to watch your video, as my husband and I have been going to Playa del Carmen ever since we accidentally discovered the town in 2005.
Cool! Any recommendations? I know we will return
Hola Que hermosos lugares…Tienes alguna recomendacion de hotel? Uno a precio modico y seguro, Que tal es viajar en septiembre?Gracias me encanta todos lo que informas..

@Renata Pereira, great video! My girlfriend would like to know where you got your swimsuit!
Is it best to take peso or dollar when going there.
If you can have some pesos for shopping as we found some prices cheaper when paying ion pesos.
Hi. How are You? It is safe now to visit Indonesia. Please come , and enjoy the trip in my country

Playa del Carmen. Per example: There is a name “Maria del Carmen”
Yeah, only now I got the true meaning of "Carmen". In Portuguese we have it too: "Maria do Carmo" 😊😉. Thanks for sharing
@@RenataPereiraTV It is new for me that info. I’m gonna tell my sister. That’s her name. Thanks
