Best thing I did for myself in Playa - got my own RO filter.

No more stupid garafones, carrying them around, extracting water from them. Clean water always available right in my sink.

Price was $4200 mxn for "6 etapas" filter - 3 big ones, RO membrane, UV lamp etc.

Install was a pain in the butt, but we installed ourself - means that is possible.

Quite recommended.

I'll be in PDC in March 2027 and want to take my mom out for a birthday dinner with a small group. I heard about Mezcla and it looks good, but was hoping for some honest reviews, and if anyone has any idea a lot price points - I can't find a menu!

Also, is it really easy to grab taxis in PDC, to and from resorts? Thanks in advance!

Anybody have good recommendation for an English speaking physiotherapist . Thanks in advance

Anyone has any thoughts on renting a car with Rogan Car rental ? The prices look good but is a some guys rental place.
So I’m not sure if they’ll be legit and nice to tourist and not charge for nonsense when I return the car.

Where can I get pottery, artesanías, platos del barro, or talavera?

My wife and I just got married and are honeymooning at Maroma. We had scheduled a private snorkeling trip with a local but he hurt himself and is no longer able to take us tomorrow (Tuesday 10/20) We are looking for recommendations for a new person or company. Ideally no other people. We have snorkeled plenty before and are good swimmers.

Hello! I will be travelling to PDC from Canada next week and would love recommendations for museums, art galleries, or any kind of place that will educate me on the history of the area. Preferably in town. Thank you!!

Hi friends! I am hoping to find an authentic molcajete. Does anyone know where I can buy one in PDC? Thank you!

Hey! I've planning a trip to Playa Del Carmen at the beginning of November. Is there any hotel or beach that releases baby sea turtles into the ocean that is open to pubic or through a donation?

¿Cuáles tiendas en PDC me pueden consejer, pf?

Hi! I’m Oscar, I live in Playa del Carmen and I’m learning German. I speak Spanish and English, but I’d really like to practice German with someone in person.

I work as a tour guide, so getting more comfortable speaking would mean a lot to me. My German is still a work in progress, you’ll need a little patience 😅 Happy to help with your Spanish too!

We could start with a coffee or a walk around town. If we get along, maybe visit a cenote and share the outing costs.

Anyone living here or visiting who’d be up for it?

Danke.

Hello, any beaches in the area that have minimal sargassum with aqua colored water?

Hoping to go tomorrow with two older parents

My partner and I (Canadians) visit PDC often and spend a lot of time in Mexico. We will be in PDC over the Christmas holiday this year. We don't need any Christmas plans except to enjoy Mexico.

Does anyone know of any volunteer opportunities on Christmas or any other times throughout Dec/Jan?

Does anyone have any suggestions for hotels in the Playa Del Carmen area for our honeymoon? We like the idea of being able to relax and get served drinks poolside some days, but also are big food people/ love walking around cities and don't want to be trapped in a giant resort with mediocre restaurants. We are looking for a happy medium place to stay, but at this point haven't settled on anything. (We are going first week of December if that helps). Thanks everyone in advance!

Quisiera comprar varios litros de comida variada para tenerlos en el refrigerador. Arroz, frijoles, guisos.

¿Alguien sabe dónde puedo comprar? De preferencia que no sea de súper mercado. Gracias!
