Playa del Carmen Timeshare Promotions

Playa del Carmen — locals just call it ‘Playa’ — is the pedestrian heart of the Riviera Maya, about 40 miles south of Cancún. It’s also one of the most active timeshare promotional destinations in Mexico — qualified visitors can stay at resort-quality properties for a fraction of retail price in exchange for a short vacation ownership presentation.

Here’s how it works, what it costs, and how to decide if it’s right for your next Playa del Carmen trip.

Things to Do in Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen — locals just call it ‘Playa’ — is the pedestrian heart of the Riviera Maya, about 40 miles south of Cancún. The town is built around 5th Avenue (Quinta Avenida), a 1.5-mile walking boulevard one block in from the beach. The ferry to Cozumel runs every hour from the central pier. Compared to Cancún’s Hotel Zone, Playa is denser, more walkable, with a real downtown culture mixed in with the resort presence. Playacar (the gated section just south) and Caracol (just north) are part of the same town.
