Amazing view of Playa del Carmen - you can get this kind of view from the short flight to #Cozumel. If you take it from #Cancun, the flight is a mere 15 minutes, much shorter than the 45 min ferry ride, but allows for jaw-dropping views. #LifeAtExpedia #beach

Verified traveller

Better to visit other beaches a bit further, that one was very small.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Local beach was covered with seaweed and stank

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveller

Seaweed problem awful, despite everyone's best efforts to remove. When machines are moving the seaweed, lots of flies appear. I wouldn't come to Playa Del Carmen for the beach, as it is not possible to use.
