"Early summer vacation in Playa del Carmen 20" Playa del Carmen by webula

Nice place but long drive from the Cancun airport. Once you get to the resort, there is a plenty to do so you won't have to go too far. If you want to explore, you can buy the packaged tours but we like to go our own way so we rented a car.

The ancient beach resort of the Mayan people, Tulum, is about half an hour away from the Barcelo Maya Caribe. We took the collectivo vans which stop right outside the resort entrance. Easy and cheap. About $1.50/2.00 US.

The first 3 days we were in Cancun, the weather was pretty rainy. But we we made the best of it and went to the pool and swam up under the pool bar when it started raining.

• Pros:Resort was awesome. Good food selection and well set up.
• Cons:A bit rainy at first but very relaxing.
• In a nutshell:Great value for unbelievable beaches and resorts that cater to your every need!
