Umfufu Says: If you are thursty and like a healthy drink fresh of the hook then check out the street vendors with the oranges. Some of the vendors have the trees in their own garden and this is their way of living.Picking the oranges early in the morning and sell the juice to the...
Wood craft shops out of the center
Umfufu Says: If you are planning to buy something of wood and you wanna bring it home with you as a good reminder of your holiday and i would suggest you best get of the 5th Avenue and spend a day walking along the high way to Playa del Carmen.There are lots of little (wood)craft and...

Holiday Inn Express Ciudad del Carmen
3 Opinions
Cabana_Boy Says: Although the name isn't too original, Cactus is one of the better steakhouses in Carmen. Choice cuts of Mexican beef is available for selection and cooked to specification. The juicy steaks are then bought to the table on little habachi style grills to keep them...
Tacos al pastor: Carmen has the best tacos in the world!!!
Cabana_Boy Says: I know that's saying a lot for such a small town in a non-descript location of Mexico....but just think about it....there are no tourists in Carmen, only locals and those expats relocated here to extract oil and you know they'll eat anything. And so it goes, the locals make...
Cabana_Boy Says: I really don't know how best to describe the action at Playa Norte other than to liken it to cruising the shopping malls parking lots when your in high school....it's night and there's nothing for people of that age to do, so they congregate....but we went cruising in high...
Cockteleria Veracruz: Drinks or food ?
Umfufu Says: We walk by this cockteleria at the end of the Avenue. I thought it would be a place to get some of the best cocktails of Mexico but now i have been to a messegeboard (see website) and it could be this is a place to eat shrimps.....?
Umfufu Says: If you are in Playa del Carmen and you like a boattrip to Cozumel just easy can do that. (see time schedule on website). At Cozumel you can have a great shopping and snorkling time. If you go more then one day there is the possebility to stay in an hotel for some days or...
From Riviera Maya to Playa del Carmen
Umfufu Says: Great to have this all inclusive in your package of the hotel. The hotel pendel bus, cause the taxi's are really expensice. All you have to do is be there on time (in the lobby of the hotel or the busstop in Playa) and sit down. And when you liked the tour you can give the...
Somewhere down town: Silvershop in Playa del Carmen
Umfufu Says: An other silver shop at 5th Avenue. Like i told you before there are several of these shops so you better be carefull where you buy what. Cause it can be the neighbour next door has a better prize for you in mind. Juwelery for your wife, girlfriend or friend, kid or family....
Hammocks in Mexican colours: These you have to bring home with you
Umfufu Says: Beside the fact that hammocks are on the beach and in some bars, you can buy them to bring home.Hammocks are the beds of the Mayan people and dont forget to sleep in it the Mayan way, cause that spares your neck and back. (that means that you dont lay in the lenght of the...
Umfufu Says: Walking on the 5th Avenue we saw this tiny little restaurant (with no seats) where you could have a tippical Mexican meal. You had to order a take-away cause there wasnt a space left to sit down. This locals do anything that comes up in their minds to get some money and they...
Umfufu Says: This is an other way to make sure all the Mexicans (and tourists) will have their Corona. Corona is one of the most famous beers in Mexico and you can see a lot of these little cars driving around but also the "normal" beer (tank) trucks.This little car is very handy in the...
Umfufu Says: Becare ful when you see a sign like this when you are on your way to Playa del Carmen. I though it was an hospital, but less was true ! It seems to be an intruction workers place for cement!So if you are ill make sure they take you to the right place.
Umfufu Says: All along the way we saw these little houses and there was a police officer in it. They will give information to the tourists and maybe to the locals too.On the website you can see the do's and don't 's so you better be aware before you go and / or rent a car.
Umfufu Says: At the busstop for the hotel busses we could hear birds screaming and we were looking and found the screaming ones in a tree just behind us.There are more birds then these white ones, cause there is a whole parc full of animals to take a look at and learn more about them.The...
Take a look outside the window
Umfufu Says: And you will be surprised of all the little tracks you see. And you will have the feeling they are heading now where. Most are blocked with signs that you arent allowed to walk any further (and if i were you i wouldnt walk one step further if you see a sign like that).If you...
Umfufu Says: We came across this cowboy walking on 5th Boulevard....guessing whats on the other side of the rope....well not much.No bull, no horse, no chicken.....and to tell you the truth i cant even remember WHAT was on the other side. I thought there was a piece of iron on the other...
redeemedone Says: I went to CIUDAD Del Carmen to visit an orphanage. I was dumbfounded by all the "tips" on this site for this town. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! "PLAYA" DEL CARMEN AND "CIUDAD" DEL CARMEN ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACES! Almost all the tips in here are for Playa Del Carmen and it's...
Umfufu Says: We Western or USA people or from Canada or.... well you know what i mean, are living in houses with all in it and when you see a house like on the picture you should get some respect for the people living in it (most whole families up to amounts of 20 !) Always when i come...
Umfufu Says: http://www.mayanriviera.com/articles.cfmJust see more info to make sure you will have a great holiday ! You will have a good time if you know where to go and what you should be doing.Make sure to bring enough money cause Playa del Carmen is expensive and very very...

Anniversary-wise: absolutely the best. My husband & I stayed in Playa del Carmen at the 4 star Reef Club Playacar, a beautiful resort a quick 5-10 minute walk from downtown Playa. The weather was...

Cabana Boy's Ciudad del Carmen Page
It had been sixteen years since I had been to Mexico and even then I hadn’t been to a “real” Mexican town; that is I don’t consider Cancun & Cozumel real Mexican towns... But this time would be...
Ciudad del Carmen, La Perla del Golfo
This is where I was born, and lived for most of my childhood. This is where I wanted to live, but life had other plans for me, and now I live in the U.S. I try to visit at least once a year, but that...
