Playa del Carmen, Mexico<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18095 size-large alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PlayaDelCarmen-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, you just want to sit back, relax, and have someone bring you a vacation drink with a tiny umbrella. And there&#8217;s no better spot for that than along the sugar-sand beaches in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/Playa-Del-Carmen.dx601751\">Playa del Carmen<\/a>. For those looking for more activity, there&#8217;s snorkeling, boating, and more&#8230;but again, it\u2019s okay to do nothing at all here all day long.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Data is based on search
