Finally! Im so tired of watching videos where someone has been to a place once and does a video on how to spend your time. You have wonderful insider info due to you being a resident. I have been to Playa 20+ times and will be there again in a few days. Im always looking for new restaurants, bars, things to see and do and now i have a few new good ideas. I used to stay in hotels on the beach between 6th and 12th....but recently really like being further north up around 32-38. Better beaches and restaurants (as you said).

Finally I found a great video! Most of the PDC videos are just walkthroughs without geological explanations or recommendations, or random info without maps.
This one is very clear to understand for newbies. I'll visit your website to learn more about PDC! Thank you❤

Great video.
We stayed at Bahia principe in May/June 2024
We walked 5th avenue twice and loved everything about it.
The amount of times that someone remebered us from the hotel, they work in, was amazing and you could have a good laugh with them.
The mexicans are great people, very friendly and always smiling.
Thank you

Thanks for all the helpful info! We are currently in playa for our 6th day out of 9 and it’s been raining and cloudy. So disappointing :( going into the city from our resort again tomorrow but it’s just not the same in the clouds. Hopefully we will be back again but it won’t be for years!

Loved this so much! Been doing research on the area for an upcoming trip and this was so helpful. Are there any less touristy/modern areas you recommend visiting in the PDC area?
