For honeymoon Cancun or Playa del Carmen?

Question

We havent decided yet if we will go to Cancun or Playa del Carmen for our honeymoon, we would also want to know how much would be a taxi from Playa to Cancun and viceversa

Answer 1

It depends on what you want.  Cancun has more of a party atmosphere, although there are some really nice, sophisticated, and quiet resorts there.  There are a lot of options for shopping, eating, clubbing, etc.  

Playa del Carmen is much more relaxed, quiet, and peaceful.  There are some things to do there, but not as many choices.  

I have no idea on the cab fare - sorry.

Answer 2

If this is your first time to the area, I always recommend for 1st time travelers to Cancun to stay in Cancun's Hotel Zone. This is because of the amount of options that you have close by in the Hotel Zone, things that are simply not available anywhere else. There are literally hundreds of Cancun restaurants, clubs, bars, shops and activities that have made the area famous. I am not saying that Playa del Carmen is not great, but you simply don't have the same options there. You should also be able to choose a resort in Cancun that is quiet and away from it all, so you can have the best of both worlds, peace and quiet or fun and excitement.

Have fun planning your special vacation in paradise,
