Weren't the bracelets $200 before?
anyways, I'm thinking of going this year since I have the first two weeks of the year off, is the bracelet worth it?
edit:
and found 14 days, 4* hotel, close to $1900! |

1900 is plane ticket included? |

| Yeah. All included!! Rediculous price. On top of it the flight leaves the 3rd, BPM starts the 4th. |

| I have no idea how the alcohol works, although I'm pretty sure it's not included outside the hotel with the bracelet. Im curious if alcohol, and other... Things... Is expensive there... |

Could you pm me the hotel + flight link if you don't mind |

I'll pm you tomorrow when I recheck everything!
but I found another alternative,
flights for 500$ + apartment for 1100 for 2 weeks ON 5th ave, which is the main street, including transport from the airport to there (45 minutes aways, 65$ by cab).
I'm exploring all possible alternatives, as I don't know if the all inclusive at a "reasonable price" will even be worth it. Playa doesn't seem that expensive, and I prefer the "real" vacation feel, to the all inclusive feel... |

you can also catch bus for ten bucks from airport, drops you off near the action.
i would go with apt/condo option instead, there are massive grocery stores there so you can stock up and always have food around. You could do a search and read some reviews from last year for ideas, I wrote one in there too.
Would love to go again but I'm branching off and trying something a bit different but BPM is pretty sweet |

Don't stay in a condo. You can get an all inclusive package and they cook, clean, and serve you booze 24/7. Why would anyone want to grocery shop on a vacation. You can get great deals and have all your food and drinks included. I've stayed at 6 resorts there adn the food is fine. Did the condo thing and it's not worth it. It gets very sandy and dirty you need someone cleaning your room daily. |

that's my gf's mindset aswell. she doesn't want to have to make her bed/clean up sand/etc...
I'm trying to convince her otherwise, but she says I get the final decision anyway, but I want her happy too.
Thing is, most resorts are in "Playacar" which I hadn't realized till a few days ago, isn't exactly Playa del Carmen, it's a secluded resort/golf area that's fenced in. Downtown is around a 20 minute walk from there.
I have found resorts in Playa del Carmen but they're either:
A. Insanely Expensive (I'm Semi on a budget - wanna get a condo lol)
B. Not the best reviews.
C. Not directly on the beach (I'm a beach bum) |

Honestly the cab ride is 3 mins and costs 4-5 canadian dollars. There are plenty of hotels on the beach I have stayed at all of them. Trust me go all inclusive. Totally effortless. I hated having to clean up and make breakfast, shop, go get ice, etc.. |
