re: Going to Playa Del Carmen in 3 weeks

Go eat dinner at la cueva del chango. I think it's in the 30s street number wise. Then walk south from there along 5th avenue. To me this end is the nicer part of 5th avenue, especially at night. There is also a little taco hut right next door to Phantom divers on 1st avenue. Super fresh and delicious. All the dive people eat there. If your gonna dive in playa then dive with Phantom. Ramon magana is super nice and charlie (Carlos) is too. If you venture towards tulum stop at taco paco in puerto aventuras for fish and shrimp tacos. Akumal is nice and tulum is pretty cool, but was HOT as hell last time we were there. Have fun!! Cancun is stupid. Avoid.
