The Mayan ruins of Tulum and Coba are within easy reach. Tulum is about a 15 minute drive, and Coba is 45 minutes or so beyond that. The major Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza are a day trip. Several 'theme parks' featuring snorkelling, eco-tours and entertainment are quite close, and the natural underground caves of Aktun Chen are only five minutes away.

The renowned La Lunita restaurant - literally on our doorstep - is open daily with the dinner menu coming into effect at 4 PM. You can have meals brought to you in the condo.
There are also several other restaurants in the area featuring local cuisine, as well as Italian or US specialties. A couple of small grocery stores have most things you may need, but if you prefer, there are several large supermarkets in Playa del Carmen.
