Swinging a golf club is one of the most emblematic sports of the Riviera Maya, and Playa del Carmen takes center stage as it is surrounded by golf clubs.
Some of the world’s most challenging and unique golf courses are located in Playa del Carmen and designed by famous professional golfers and architects.  Developed within nature’s tropical landscapes, along white-sand Caribbean beaches, and around spectacular Mayan ruins, the regional golf courses have unusual characteristics that add to their dynamic and strategic layout. 

There is more to the Riviera Maya than the beach. Take advantage of this opportunity to explore underground rivers, get a firsthand look at jungle animals, birds and insects, swim in freshwater cenotes and zip-line through the thick Yucatan jungle. To get a better understanding of what an eco park is, imagine an amusement park but in a natural environment. Riviera Maya eco parks are located in the jungle near coastal vacation towns. Unlike typical amusement parks, eco parks are host to authentic Mayan ruins, tropical birds and diverse wildlife, million-year-old caves decorated with stalactite formations, and cool ways to explore these large areas. To make your eco park experience even better, many of the larger eco theme parks are all-inclusive, offering their visitors unlimited food and drinks, a price advantage for families. You have to visit: Sian Ka’an, Garrafón Park, Cenote Dos Ojos, Gran Cenote, Xcarte & Xel-Ha .

Cenotes in Riviera Maya are a wonder, usually with waters so calm and clear you can see the bottom, even if this is 100+ feet in depth! There are so many different kinds of cenotes, each one is a unique mysterious adventure.
Cenotes are natural acts of magic, more specifically, they are sinkholes primarily made of limestone – There are over 6,000 of these throughout the whole Yucatán Peninsula and each one of them is uniquely amazing.
They’re filled with either fresh water from the rain, or connected throughout underwater cavern systems filled with salt water; When the rooftop of an underwater cavern collapses, cenotes are born! And in some cases they have both fresh water and salt water too.

The night itself seems to be strolling around lively 5th Avenue, drinking coffee al fresco, dining on an exotic dish accompanied by an excellent beer, tequila, or wine, savoring a cocktail in a lounge, and later on, jumping and dancing on a club's dance floor or on the sand ...If starry nights were invented in the Caribbean, the way to spend them was created in Playa del Carmen.
You will find the original style of Playa everywhere: in your hotel room, in the food, in the stores its nightclubs and bars could not be the exception. Here are the most avant-garde, minimalist trends, rustic and Mexican styles, all the way to the latest in the hit parade, even retro. No one gets bored in Playa.
