The Plaza Paraiso condominium complex is located in downtown Playa del Carmen just a 5-minute walk from the beach and the very beginning of the famous 5th Ave that is lined with cafes, yummy eats, bars, incredible nightlife, loads of shopping, and really entertaining street performers! Located at the nearest beach to the apartment is the ferry that takes you to Cozumel in case you want to go exploring the island for the day which we recommend that you do! In the evenings, near the ferry terminal is Parque Fundadores where they put on an incredible Mayan show for FREE! You won’t want to miss it!

There’s so much to see and do around Playa -- everything from the beach and beach clubs, water sports like snorkeling, scuba, paddle boarding, eco-parks with underground rivers, ancient Mayan ruins, cenotes (natural sinkholes special to this area!), private yacht tours and fishing charters, golfing, day trips to Tulum or Cancun and more!
