* The Mayan Riviera offers a very entertaining nightlife at bars and nightclubs, where you can listen to tropical, rock, reggae and lounge music. Here the party is non-stop, especially if you go to Playa del Carmen, which has a more bohemian atmosphere than Cancun. Among the best places to visit during your stay are La Placita, El Agora, Papaya Republique, Señor Frogs and Venice Café. In addition, along the famous QuintaAvenida, you’ll find various restaurants with live mariachi music, romantic trios and marimbas, all of which create a pleasant dining atmosphere.

* All along the Mayan Riviera you’ll find various places to shop. You’ll come across everything from modern shopping malls to traditional and colorful markets, where you can buy crafts and imitation stone figurines of Mayan gods. You can also purchase all sorts of souvenirs and high quality jewelry at low prices. To buy these items and much more, there is no place like QuintaAvenida in Playa del Carmen, a shopping area with exclusive boutiques that have the latest beach wear and sports accessories, as well as the finest jewelry and perfume shops in the Mayan Riviera. While on QuintaAvenida, we recommend that you visit stores such as Selva y Mar or Rincon del Sol, located in the QuintaAvenida, where you can buy a multiple selection of souvenirs such as pens, key rings, t-shirts, ceramics, textiles, wood sculptures and objects made from seashells. In Plaza Playacar there are several stores, a money exchange bureau and an Internet Café. In Puerto Aventuras, near the marina, you’ll find a passageway where you can buy all sorts of items. Other shopping options are the Puerto Morelos downtown area and AvenidaTulum, which leads to the Tulum archaeological zone.
