Amazing art and creations made from sea shells and marine items. I come here every time we visit Playa. The hanging shell lights are stunning! My kids love the shell nightlights. This stuff is like nothing you have ever seen, really cool! I understand the artist Kevin Haley has a new store and marine museum now open in Tulum, we are sure to check it out.

Had one of the best times I've had in a very long time. Playa wasn't packed with people in town or on the beach (I assume due to COVID). They seem to take the virus much more seriously than any place I've been in the US.

This was certainly a worthwhile visit if you’re in the area. Due to Covid, business has been slow so you definitely have more time and freedom to explore and take photos. When we visited on a weekday afternoon, there were only two people working at the center.
Someone does follow you around to help with photos and explain the best angles. Vladimir in our case was helpful - you can see some examples of the photos below. Make sure to mention the 10% discount at the counter for buying online (at the time of writing) to get a small savings.

Amazing place! Got my first tattoo with them and they Don't disappoint. Lolita was so nice and my tattoo artist Venus is amazing. She did a great job covering up my scar. The place is also super clean and very hygenic. If ever I want to get a tattoo again, I will do it here again for sure. Overall, they made my first tattoo experience great and remarkable.

My husband and I love shopping in Mexican flea markets for souvenirs, pure vanilla for baking and of course silver. Does anyone know where is the best flea market in playacar? I am staying at Riu Palace Riviera Maya in November, I am a Playa Del Carmen newbie, this will be my first time.

Delicious and healthy food for a good price.
I tried their sweet and savory dishes and both have been excellent.
There’s a lot of work in their food which definitely pays off.
The drinks have been fresh as well and very tasty.
As for the service, they have been nice and helpful and ordering was comparably fast.
They haven’t open the whole day, so definitely plan your trip to visit it, it’s totally worth.

Nice new store across the street from my laundry service I use. Went in while waiting on my laundry cold a/c and hand sewn items. Large selection of dresses for weddings and proms.

I visited here for my bachelorette party and this hotel was perfect. Very clean, extra friendly staff and well laid out. I was expecting mediocre food and drinks since it's all inclusive, but I was wrong. The restaurants and buffets are amazing and drinks we're strong and delicious. Our pool waiter Manny was incredible, super attentive and friendly and took the best care of all of us. I definitely want to come back soon!!!

Cozy place to grab a snack and some coffee. While walking on the street, it took me a while to realize that there’s a cafe.
Once there, you realize that it basically is just a super small room with some chairs on the outside, even though they have a neat Sortiment of different beverages and pastries to choose from.
It’s nicely designed, well priced and the waiters are friendly and helpful.
Since in peak times it was usually packed, I suggest coming after lunch time to get the best experience out of it.

Great club with an open dance floor and rope swings at the bar. If you don't feel like dancing, climb the stairs to one of the upper levels from which you can watch the revelries or recline to enjoy the ocean, as the club blends seamlessly into the sand. The space was beautiful and refreshingly unpretentious, creating the perfect vibes for a fun night out.

Small but good art supply store with some decent supplies...not a huge selection but good quality stuff. I also got color copies for a collage project and they were surprisingly good quality. The people working there were very friendly as well. Recommended.
I do my best to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in September 2024. If you know of a street art that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
