Places you'll stay
Playa del Carmen
White sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters frame Playa del Carmen, a resort city on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. The city lies inthe state of Quintana Roo and forms part of the municipality of Solidaridad. With a population just over 300,000 in 2020, it has attracted a sizable immigrant community while remaining a focal point for international tourists.
Tulum
Tulum sits on a Caribbean cliff just a short walk from the ancient Maya ruins that overlook the sea, a setting that has turned the former fishing village into a focal point for travelers seeking both beach and history. The town lies in the state of Quintana Roo on Mexico’s eastern coast, and its permanent population reached 46,721 in the 2020 census as new residential projects spread into the surrounding jungle. Since the early 1990s, when only a few modest shops and beach cabanas served the nearby archaeological site, tourism has expanded dramatically, reshaping the downtown area with a mix of modern amenities and traditional charm.
