Sarah’s Playa Del Carmen Guidebook
Beach
Great spots to spend the day taking in the sea & sun
The perfect beach day hang out spot. A bohemian style beach club, great for lunch, cocktails and they offer great massages! They usually have a DJ that spins Ibiza style music in the background. Gorgeous ocean views. Oh and it's pet friendly!!

Food scene
Playa del Carmen has some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Here's a list of my local favorites to get you off the beaten path...
THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN PLAYA!!! Home cooked meals in a local part of town. Frederica and her dog Max are incredible, you will leave there feeling like you are part of their Italian family :)
