Arrived in Playa after stopping briefly in the nightmare that is Cancun, like Las Vegas on sea with huge hotels and regimented lines of deckchairs.
The hotel is great with lots of individual thatched houses set in plenty of land right on the beach at one end of the resort which means it is quiet although the weather left something to be desired.
However having walked the full length of the beach I wouldn't have wanted to be any where else. This is the view from my room, all thatched cottages when the weather was better!

There are 5 of us here and so we hired a car for the day to take us to Tulum which is situated on the beach but again it is roped off, these day trippers from Cancun have a lot to answer for, as both Tulum and Chichen Itza are within relatively easy reach.
A few nice pictures,
then we headed for the beach which was rather good, Tulum in the distance
and then stopped in a small resort called Akumal for another swim
