Day: February 21, 2019

I’d just like to say to people that say that they wouldn’t go to Playa Del Carmen because they don’t think it’s safe- You’re really really dumb.

We spent a week there, ate like champs, walked around town at all hours of the night and felt as safe as could be.  Not one second did I ever feel as if there was even a hint of danger.  In fact I feel much safer walking around In Downtown Playa Del Carmen than I do ANYWHERE in the city of Boston.

Not talking about Mexico City or Juarez, I’m talking specifically about Playa Del Carmen.  The people are incredibly friendly.  The tourists are from all over the world. The food is EXCELLENT.  The food and accommodations are great values.  Can’t say enough about it.  That’s why I go back year after year.

Here’s a sample of the food we ate last week-

 

It was a gorgeous day and the beach was shining like a newly crowned princess.
