The beach clubs not to miss in Playa del Carmen

In recent years, Playa del Carmen has become one of the most popular holiday destinations for French travellers on a trip to Mexico. People call it the “human sized town” for its energy and its festive atmosphere. The white sand beaches are among the finest attractions of the Yucatan peninsula, just like the ruins, the nature reserves, the cenotes, the lagoons and the islands. Here is our selection of beach clubs for lazing by the Caribbean Sea.
