We visited Playa del Carmen in 2019 and fell in love with the life and culture of this city. We want to share that with you all the day of our wedding!
Playa del Carmen has a calm and relaxed feel, but it is also very lively and vibrant. We believe it matches our personalities. We hope that everyone coming to our wedding celebrates love, but also has the time of their lives exploring a new place!
Quinta Avendia is one of our favorite highlights. The life and excitement on this strip made our trip so memorable! You MUST visit and bring your walking shoes to soak in the culture of the many restaurants, bars, and shops.
You may get lucky on your walk and spot traditional Mayan ritual.
Sit along Quinta Avenida and enjoy a margarita while watching street performances.
A cenote is a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Especially associated with the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico
One of the most beautiful beaches on the Yucatan Peninsula is Playa Maroma. Marina Maroma has an adventure site were you can book activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing or a nice meal on the beach.
Xcaret Park
An atraction park filled with plenty to do! Here you will find underground rivers, wine cellars, mayan villages, archeological sites, a scenic tower, and shows for all ages.

Tulum is 40 miles from Playa del Carmen. You can visit and check out the white sandy beaches and unique culture.
If you want to explore during the day, we recommend you to visit " La Cueva del Chango" for the best breakfast and brunch for locals. If you want to have a special lunch, "Los hijos de la Tostada" on 5th Ave and 38st. has good crispy seafood and tortillas.
During the day time there are some beach clubs like: Mamitas, Kool, Martina, Coralina for a good ambiance and drinks.
At night if you want to go local, we recommend you visit "La Cantina No. 20" or "Zenzi". It is right on the beach and 10 st. You will find live music everyday and the best nachos in town.
Of course there is Coco Bongo night club. If you have never been there, take it easy at the bar, its open bar and the drinks are strong! But they have good shows. Just be careful with the open bar...
To shop you will find countless stores on 5th ave. There are all kinds of arts and crafts from all over Mexico not just Playa del Carmen.
If you are more adventurous, we recommend you to visit Chichen Itza. It is one of the 7 wonders of the world just plan on spending all day there. You might be tired after the trip, but it is worth the visit. Some tours will include a cenote, which after a hot day, you will love to swim in.
If you do not want to go that far then visit Tulum. It is the only Pre-Hispanic Building facing the ocean. This tour will take you 3-4 hrs including transportation time from the resort.

Xelha: if you like snorkeling, is the best place as they include all you can eat and drink; you will swim all day!
