Just an hour south of Cancun, Playa del Carmen offers smaller hotels and a more laid-back vacation experience.

Formerly a small fishing village with the ferry connecting mainland Mexico to Cozumel Island, Playa del Carmen has been transformed into a popular destination for visitors from around the world. It is located in the center of the Mayan Riviera and is the perfect home base for visits to the Maya ruins at Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba.

Yaxche Maya Cuisine Restaurant sits in the heart of Playa del Carmen's most sophisticated shopping district. It is located on the corner of the striking 5th avenue and 22nd street, the ultimate pedestrian thoroughfare. Yaxche is easy to find from anywhere in Playa del Carmen.
