Playa Del Carmen is one hour south of gay Cancun. It’s perfect for gay travelers who’ve had fun partying and shopping in Cancun and are now looking for some chilled-out beach vibes. The town features pedestrian-friendly streets, boutique shops, and cafes.
An advantage of staying in Playa Del Carmen is that it’s closer to some of the region’s most popular tourist sites, like Chichen Itza, the home of the famous Mayan pyramid.
Playa del Carmen is home to the Arena gay circuit parties, which are mostly held on the first weekend of February each year.
Quinta Avenida, translated to 5th Avenue, is the restaurant, shopping, and entertainment strip. Some of our featured hotels are on or near this street. It’s only 150m from the beach, so access is simple no matter where you stay in the central zone.
Swimming pools are plentiful in Playa del Carmen. Every one of our featured hotels has at least one, and Platinum Yucatan Princess has 13!
