When hearing the term ‘luxury’, the first thing that typically comes to mind is extravagance that costs a small fortune. When on vacation, we appreciate an extra dose of pampering that we generally would not receive at home? These extra elegant touches, like a concierge who goes out of his way to accommodate us or a private chef services on the beach, can make a getaway unforgettable. We have some good news for those interested in luxury products without the high price tag.
Playa del Carmen is a destination that has brought many luxury services to the market over the last decade. The great thing for travelers is that these luxuries are a fraction of the cost of those at other popular exotic destinations.
Here is a list of 5 ways to live the luxurious life in Playa del Carmen…and still have money in the bank when you return home.
Arrive In Style
Take a private transfer for your entire group from the Cancun International Airport for around $120US round trip. This includes a private vehicle with a personal airport greeting to give you the red carpet treatment. Compare this to hiring a private limo at most other destinations and it will be a fraction of the cost.
Drivers monitor your flight and have your name on a sign waiting to whisk your group to the final destination in Playa del Carmen.
Live Like A King/Queen
Enjoy your own luxurious space by choosing to stay at an upscale vacation rental rather than a resort or all-inclusive hotel. Interact with locals and discover the magnetism of the Mexican people and their rich culture. Create your own schedule while experiencing activities that explore the region and culture. Playa del Carmen has an ample selection of luxury condo rentals at affordable prices. Plan on staying at an ocean view penthouse condo with a private rooftop terrace for cheaper than a moderate New York City hotel.
Companies like BRIC Vacation Rentals provide guest services that outweigh most luxurious hotels.
Dine Like A Sultan
Visitors have the option of choosing from many top-notch restaurants in Playa del Carmen. What used to be only tacos stands, Playa del Carmen now has many well-known luxury restaurant brands within the city. New York City’s popular restaurant Catch recently opened in Playa del Carmen’s Thompson Hotel and offers fine dining with spectacular ocean views.
