Playa Del Carmen: Kid Friendly Hotels with Kids Pool
In addition to typical beach-resort shopping, swimming, and open air dining, Playa del Carmen is good for families who want to see and explore Mexico’s natural beauty. Day trips are the key, and attractions can be reached by bus, taxi, or hired car. Nearby Xcaret theme park allows visitors to tour and snorkel the area’s underground rivers, see native fauna like manatees and sea turtles, and visit Mayan archaeological sites within the park. A short ride north of the city is Rancho Baaxal, which features horseback riding tours into the jungle along Maroma Beach. Another nearby favorite is The Jungle Place, a sanctuary that returns rescued spider monkeys to their natural habitat.
