The weather in Playa will be at its finest during the winter months - from about November through March you can enjoy mild daytime temperatures in the mid-70s and low 80s (F), and it tends to get cooler at night with less humidity than the hot summer months. During these weeks you can expect the streets to be packed, tours to fill up quickly and accommodation prices to be at their all-time highest of the year. Peak tourism season in Playa del Carmen is over the Christmas and New Years holidays in December/January, and Spring Break time, particularly the week leading up to Easter (Semana Santa in Latin America).

That said we spent 3 entire months in Playa del Carmen and there are a lot of reasons why it makes a good hub.įirst of all there are a lot of conveniences like pretty much any type of store you could want, a very lively restaurant scene, and a strong digital nomad community. In fact, we’d probably say it is one of our least places we visited in Mexico.

We’re going to be totally honest with you and get right to the point: We didn’t completely love Playa del Carmen.
