where are you staying?

if at palace resorts hotel, they have full reverse osmosis water filtrations systems so the water is safe.

i liked chichen itza pyramids (tourist call it chicken pizza) up to 3-4 hours away depending on where you hotel is. Tulum is another archeological site about 2 hours away.

i found the shopping town of Playa Del Carmen full of nothing to buy...

otherwise, the water is fantastic... scuba and snorkelling is a must. you can even swim with dolphins at a certain park...

i may be going back again this december =)
