    For the best beach experience go ALL the way down PlayaCar, basically up to where you cannot go on anymore.. and you will find some secluded lovely beaches!

    Cool :) Great camera & editing skills. If you were to recommend a place in Mexico to visit for a first timer for 1 month where would it be? Would it be Playa? Also I noticed you never visited the Mayan sights or xcaret which I see recommended so often - is it because you already saw it?

    • @sergiosala

    For anyone wondering, Playa del Carmen is superior to Tulum and Cancun for digital nomads (assuming you want to be near the beach). Tulum's best area was designed to force you into taxis or into rentiing bikes, and the access to the public beaches is about 5 miles away from town. Power goes out for days when hurricanes hit, and the same goes for the internet. Tulum and Cancun also have insanely pricey taxis.
