Is PLAYA DEL CARMEN Safe?

With all the hype and media coverage of Mexico and Playa Del Carmen, and all the safety concerns, we decided to show you around the town to see for yourselves whether or not the area is safe. We are frequently asked if Mexico is safe to visit so now we’re answering that question!
We start the day going for a run on the northern area of 5th Avenue. It’s a quieter area without many people, but has great sidewalks for walking, running and biking and very little traffic. You’ll find many condo buildings, a few restaurants and some great street art.
After that we work up an appetite and head to Choux Choux Cafe for a late breakfast.
Next we head to 10th avenue, which is not as touristy as 5th but has some great restaurants and fewer people. We come across a street market and get a chicken tamale and fresh juice.
Later we head to check out the beach, going through Fundadores Park to get there. After exploring the beach we had up to 5th to show you how busy the street can get and also talk about the shopping. We don’t spend too long there before heading back to the beach for afternoon drinks.
Lastly we head to a restaurant called Trujillo’s, we start with cocktails and then have a delicious meal.
To sum up our day and all of our time we’ve spent in Mexico, we’ve never had a moment of feeling unsafe. You’ll see many police officers around making rounds throughout the city to ensure the safely of tourists. That being said, wherever you go in the world you should always be careful and cautious, know your surroundings and do your research.

We just got back from Mexico and the only time I felt unsafe was when I was reading the internet. :-) We had a great month near Akumal though the best experiences were away from the resorts and tourist infrastructure. Hope you make it to Valladolid and Rio Lagartos! Thanks fro sharing - Henry

[@DelightfulTravellers]

The best experiences are always away from the resorts 😉right?! We're so glad you had a great time on your amazing adventure. We did not make it to those 2 spots but they're on our list for next year. We know exactly where they are as we've been to Holbox and Merida passing through Valladolid. We've always felt completely safe in Mexico. - Trevor

Thanks Larry. We're glad yo liked it. We also felt just as 'safe' here as anywhere else in the word. 👌- Trevor

[@AdventurousAdam]

Thats what im going to miss when going to Guatemala is the mexican food, those tamales look so good! Have you had any Alambre yet? I have been backpacking around Mexico for 2 months now and I honestly feel more safe in this country then I would in the US. The people are SSOO friendly its unbelievable, totally has the wrong preconceived notions. With anywhere you go if you go looking for trouble then you'll find it but keep a smile on your face and look for great people and great times then thats what you'll find in my experience. Another great video as always! Until next time friends, keep having an amazing trip! Cheers!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Hey Adam! Mexican food is the best right? We just love it. I don't think we had an Alambre no... but it looks amazing. We hear you on the 'safe' part. Honestly there is more crazy stuff happening in the US right now. Are you still in Mex or travelling? - Trevor

[@irishwanderer_]

One thing I have learnt travelling is that no place is how the media portrays it. I try to always go with an open mind. We went to Mexico last year with our family and never once did I feel unsafe. Great channel, I'll be following your adventures.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We so agree! We've been to so many places now and the result is always the opposite of how the media portrays it. Go figure! The key is an open mind like you said and of course be aware of where you are and what you're doing. Common sense stuff. Thanks so much for watching! We look forward to having you around.😀 - Trevor

[@tom080955]

We are here in playa right now and i have never felt safer...hellova lot safer here than in Seattle! The locals struggle kindly with us as we try to communicate, even fellow tourists help you out. We went shopping at centro mall and there was a brit in the line up to translate...go figure. Feeling Safe...absolutely !

[@DelightfulTravellers]

All of the those shots are on 5th. But very north. Just walk in that direction and you'll find it. We jogged that route everyday. There is a lot of great street art up that way. - Trevor

[@Aguanga_cowboy007]

Well there's always crime in every country. I've been to Tijuana, and Ensenada consistently even during the time when it was more dangerous (according to talk radio) in 2008 - 2010. I've lived in California most of my life, and the one comparison I can say is if anyone has ever lived in Los Angeles, one knows to stay away from certain neighborhoods and places after a certain time of day. Other than that it is safe. 1. Don't walk down a dark alley by yourself (especially drunk) 2. Mind your own business (don't be a tough person/start trouble) 3. Show respect as one would being a guest at your friends house (treat people the way you want to be treated). Keep in mind is to do research on places to go, things to do, and the customs of the culture/environment. Watch videos like this one, as well as others and come your own conclusions. I'm hoping to make it out there December of next year. Should be fun.

Awesome, Thanks for the advice.... We have a trip planned next month (June 2018) We've been to Isla Mujeres 3 times and cancun 2..... This will be 1st time in Playa, Did a little research on how to get there from the airport.... ADO bus in like $10 usd per person with maybe a $5 cab ride to our actual hotel from the bus station. Compared to a private shuttle, roundtrip for $100 usd. What kinda advice would you recommend on the transportation from the airport.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We take the ADO bus everywhere in this part of Mexico. It's a fantastic option and well.. a great bus to be honest. When it comes to value or your dollar it's hard to beat Mexico. - Trevor

[@SonyaMarie826]

Hi! A friend and I are trying to plan a trip to playa. What has been your favorite place to stay there? I saw your video about Paradisus and it looked amazing.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Hey Sonya. That all depends on if you want the hotel experience OR air bnb in town. We've done both! Most times though, we do like being able to walk outside of our door and be in the city itself. - T

[@SonyaMarie826]

Delightful Travellers thanks for getting back to me so quickly! We travel for work and basically live in Airbnb’s so this time we were looking for an all inclusive type experience. 😄

Sorry if I missed this the comments already posted ....but can you walk to Playa del Carmen from the Paradisus La Perla or did you cab it?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You could walk it in about 30 mins I believe. So it's totally doable. But if it's really hot take a cab 😃- Anna

[@cheznjordz5970]

Looks awesome! Its terrible how media coverage can effect the views of certain areas... hope this changes soon!

Totally right? I swear people think if you go to Mexico and walk around anywhere you'll be shot. Meanwhile, there ais more things to be alarmed about in America sadly. I guess you can't put a travel ban on your own country though. ;) - Trevor

[@robertculbreth694]

Best eats I found in Playa was at La Mission. It's a couple blocks inland from the Cozumel ferry port. I had a nice filet mignon for $14! Better, cheaper food away from 5th for sure.

[@laflor8720]

Wow nice video 🇲🇽👋

[@growingwildheather]

It looks very safe! Obviously we've heard things about Mexico, or Mexico city which might have some truth... But this looks like a regular town, with regular people doing their thing. I feel like I'd be more afraid in Detroit. (Sorry Detroit, your good too) Great video looks like fun!

[@jackaaroo1671]

If you're staying in an all inclusive hotel in playa del Carmen, is it easy to get a taxi to take you into town?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Yes I'd say so... just depends on how far outside of the city you are - Trevor

[@noahbarrera681]

I grew up in Playa del Carmen even tho there happens some shootings every once in a while it is never targeted toward tourists, only gang members and it is really rare for some crossfires to happen

[@bfrazor]

We are headed back to playa in a couple weeks, do you find these awesome cafes and restaurants off of quinta avenidas? Do you ask around for them? Basically how are you guys finding these spots haha. We ate at a couple restaurants on 5th ave but they didnt have that local vibe I'm seeing in your videos.

[@bfrazor]

Specifically that cocktail bar at 9:30 looks incredible. Where is that place? P.s. I've been following your videos for a few years now, you guys are basically the travel guide I use lol!!

[@lifeastruegoddessaj]

Hi, would you recommend getting a rental car while in Playa Del Carmen? Would that be safe as well?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We've not done that before but it would be very handy given how there's so many amazing locations around it. It's completely safe to drive around there. We've taken local buses everywhere in this part of the country and that's safe too. I think (I've heard) the thing about rental cars in Mexico is the insurance can be expensive. It doesn't look like it is on websites but it may be when you actually get there. Look into that one - Trevor

[@MrTomlarge420]

I agree, my wife and myself have visited Mexico approximately 30 times, renting a car is expensive as the site says one thing, and that you'll require insurance that clearly states it's valid in Mexico, my wife is an insurance broker and we actually have worldwide coverage and umbrella coverage on top of that we confirmed was valid in Mexico and printed off prior to leaving as the site states you would need. ( we booked our car through Alamo) We booked prior to leaving Canada for 11 days rental, $600 CDN funds was the total upon getting to Mexico our "worldwide" coverage was not acceptable and we had to pay another $379 US FUNDS ...it equalled and doubled what we paid. Be careful. Very misleading, and upsetting.

[@sreekar26able]

Do you guys remember the intersection where you had the tamal de pollo .. I am currently in Playa and wondering where the street food vendors are.

Hi guys, can I ask... Honestly opinion.. do you think as solo traveller with only English, a short break with a tight schedule is advisable. Or plan it for 5-8 days to take delays etc into account.

A short break in Playa would work. There is a lot to do though so you could easily plan for longer. If I were you, I'd stay longer. There's so much to see. - Trevor

[@cathrinrobitaille7719]

You never posted prices... by the way tamales are breakfast, next time just skip the scrambled eggs and go to the mercado and/or the vendors directly. If you think mexican food is good now try it with a good apetite. I miss tacos de canasta in the morning. Great video!

To be safe just follow the same rules you would in your city. Stay out of the hood. Here most of the murders are happening west of 307, mostly at night. At night we feel safe between the ocean and 30th all the way to Calle 54. This is where we go, others may say otherwise. Don't get wasted and wonder around late at night. Do a little research before you arrive. There are great places off of 5th and if you really want to enjoy Playa you really should try them.
