thoughts on the city? in the middle of booking honeymoon and debating Tulum vs Playa Del Carmen

we are doing underwater wedding pics in Tulum and wouldn't mind staying there the entire time but curious if anyone has feedback on the city

It's really pretty out there. But I think it's more secluded(not much to do outside the resorts). If you stay in Playa there is 5th Avenue which has a bunch of restaurants/bars/shops you can walk to. Also...the ferry to Cozumel is right there as well.

Huh. Alright.

Not dogging it, I'm overwhelmed by the effort.

Yep, been there.

We got married in Playa, then stayed here for our honeymoon.

We went to Dreams in Tulum and it was awesome. It's like an enormous compound in the middle of nowhere along the Mayan coast. Dreams was great because it's family-friendly while at the same time being a great spot for a lot of young couples and newlyweds. We also went off-compound a few times and did a four-wheeler ride that went to a remote lagoon and zip-lining.

It was a ton of fun, but it might not be what you're looking for if you're wanting some city nightlife.

If you are interested in diving take the ferry over to cozumel one day and set up a dive trip with this guy scuba pablo I prefer to stay in Cozumel when I go, rent a jeep, dive, and run around the island. Rasta Bar is a cool place to hang out, try the peanut butter tequila.

Pablo can also get you hook up around town, he has friends with houses to rent and our last trip he took us to the lobster supplier for the island and we picked out 5 tails for $10 each. We went to a local cantina and gave the cook $10 to cook them up for us while we drank cerveza and ate ceviche. Just tip him well and he will take care of you.

Yes. Been quite a few times. Tulum beach is awesome. The hotels along Tulum beach are small and generally considered eco friendly. You can find places that are very rustic almost the degree of Survivor to expensive boutique semi rustic places with A.C. If you like to get away from all the rigors of you regular life, it is perfect. If you prefer cruise ships and all you can eat all inclusives, it may not be for you. It has been about 5 years, but for the most comforts yet still a rustic feel, you may want to look at Anna y Jose...pricey but a very nice boutique Mexican hotel with an amazing beach front. We have also stayed at Mezanine and liked it very much...although no A.C. there
