A pandemic in modern times, a situation that came to shake the entire world unexpectedly, causing a significant impact on all aspects of our lives.
After more than 3 months, people are beginning to resume their activities, and with them, the cities. Playa del Carmen, as one of the main national tourist destinations, was one of the first to open its doors and welcome all tourists looking to relax after such a stressful situation as COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus.
But here’s the question that many travelers are asking: Is it worth visiting Playa del Carmen after the Coronavirus? We’ll answer this question as honestly as possible.
As we mentioned, the Riviera Maya was one of the first places to start receiving both national and foreign tourists. Locations like Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum came back to life after the challenging months.
The beaches are currently open to the public. The famous Fifth Avenue, while offering a variety of businesses and activities during the day, becomes quieter at night. This is because, due to the various hygiene measures required by the government, both bars and restaurants have limited tables and close at 11 pm.
Another important point to mention, which has taken many tourists by surprise when visiting Playa del Carmen, is that a section of the famous Fifth Avenue is currently under renovation. This process has been ongoing for about 2 months and still does not have a delivery date. It’s worth noting that the Fifth Avenue is quite extensive, so this small section should not hinder you from enjoying its charming atmosphere and the wide variety of shops and restaurants that remain open to the public.
In conclusion, if you are looking to visit natural sites and have a pleasant time exploring the city, rest assured that the Coronavirus will not hinder you. However, if you are seeking its famous nightlife, you can enjoy it, but with some limitations. On the other hand, you can take advantage of the discounts that many theme parks and hotels offer to their visitors during these times.
Don’t think twice, if you’re looking to relax, pack your bags because Playa del Carmen is waiting for you to enjoy the Mexican Caribbean. You won’t have to worry since businesses have taken the necessary hygiene measures to provide safe and top-notch service.
