Vacation & Travel Guide to Playa del Carmen,
Tulum and the Riviera Maya, Mexico.

This website can act as your travel agent and tour guide. We can help you plan a wonderful vacation to the Caribbean coast, The Riviera Maya, Mexico.

We live, work and play in beautiful Playa del Carmen, Mexico (The heart of the Mayan Riviera) and can share with you our first hand knowledge and opinions of some of its hidden treasures.

You can make hotel reservations and book tours directly on the site. We have carefully selected accommodations: hotels, condos, cabanas, as well as, highly recommended scuba diving centers, eco tours, fishing and other activities, restaurants, transportation and some general tips and advice.

The areas we cover are throughout the Riviera Maya Corridor which includes the coastline starting south of Cancun and ending in Tulum (Tulum is famous for their Mayan ruins and their romantic secluded beachfront cabanas). In between this approximately 90 minute drive stretch of crystal blue water coast, you will find Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen (where we live and love it!), Puerto Aventuras and Akumal.
As we find special places and things during our own adventures, we add our favorites to the site. We are happy to give you all the information we can along with our personal opinions about anything we have experienced here.
