If you miss out on these places, it’s like you never went to Playa

The Mexican Caribbean is one of the most beautiful places you can choose for your vacation, be it with friends, family or significant other. Without a doubt, vacationing in Playa del Carmen has so many advantages that they’re impossible to ignore: the services, the varied cuisine, the many places to visit.

Vacationing in the Mexican Caribbean, everyone will find a spot that will leave them breathless. Check out this list of places you can’t miss when you visit Playa del Carmen:

 

Cozumel

This island paradise, only 45 minutes by ferry from Playa del Carmen, offers beaches, natural parks, archeological sites and a huge reef, full of color and life. Don’t miss out on a trip to the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful islands.

 

Cobá and Tulum

An archeological site where the history of the Mayan culture is still beating, inviting you to discover its wisdom, its mysticism and its greatest discoveries. One is surrounded by the jungle, and the other on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean.

 

Xcaret

Xcaret is a private park, but it’s definitely a must, as it combines culture, adventure and so much more. It’s made up of several landscapes: the Mayan village, the theater, and other locations and activities that make it a dream place for visitors to the Mayan Riviera.

 

Fifth Avenue

La Quinta Avenida is the heart of Playa del Carmen; the place where a lot of its magic takes place. Among restaurants, services and nightlife, Fifth Avenue has plenty to offer anyone looking for an amazing Playa del Carmen vacation. Besides, there are great accommodation options nearby; by choosing a strategic location for your stay, you´ll have a great time and won’t miss a detail of this lively street 😉

Beach for all: Do you have special dietary requirements? You can still enjoy the Mexican Caribbean

Some health situations are beyond our control: allergies, special diets, medical requirements or just a dislike of certain things. Far from being a reason to miss an opportunity to have a great time, it should be one more reason to fully enjoy life.

Playa del Carmen in the Mexican Caribbean can be considered inclusive because it has so many options for so many tastes; even those who have strict dietary restrictions can have an incredible time here.

We’re not talking about healthy options that remove all flavor and beauty from the art of eating. Great chefs like Aquiles Chávez, the renowned Mexican chef, have restaurants in Playa del Carmen where you can enjoy dishes directly from the sea that enchant those who don’t eat red meat or poultry.

If seafood is not your thing, you can find wonderful places with cuts of meat you’ll love. We recommend visiting El Diez, a franchise that opened a branch on Fifth Avenue, that has flavors you’ll fall in love with.   There are many options for vegetarians as well.

Hotels also offer special menus; however, if you’re looking for something different, a great option is to experience “show cooking.” The chef you hire via phone or email has several menus: choose one and he or she buys the ingredients and takes them to your house or hotel room. Some hotels don’t allow this, but if you want an experience like this one, why stay in a traditional hotel? At Happy Address you can plan your activities with complete freedom and organize your show cooking whenever you want, with the ingredients you prefer and as many helpings as you desire.

5 tips so you can save on your vacation

Whether you go on vacation in high season or regular season, and whether you go with family or with friends, finding a way to save money during your vacation while having the time of your life is a win-win situation: everyone will have an incredible time and you’ll support regional tourism.

Saving on vacation doesn’t mean skimping on expenses and dealing with scarcity, nor is it a matter of haggling so the company or person trying to make a deal lowers their profit margin; it’s a question of finding a perfect cost-benefit ratio that satisfies both sides.

That’s why we want to give you some tips that will allow you to get these advantages and more on your next vacation:

  1. Buy in advance. If you buy ahead of time and you’re not afraid of any personal or work conflicts that could jeopardize your trip, go ahead. Airlines offer unique discounts on advance purchases. In particular, you can take advantage of additional discounts, including coupons and discount codes.
  2. Compare. It’s always important to have options, especially when it comes to tourism service providers. Have you ever been shopping in a market when the sellers themselves start fighting each other for your attention? The same situation can happen with airlines and hotels.
  3. Look for good accommodation. Accommodation is one of the highest expenses on vacation. Choosing where to stay can be complicated, much more so with so many options in places like Playa del Carmen or Tulum: hotels, hostels and much more. Personally, we recommend checking out all the options; places like Happy Address offer similar or better amenities than many hotels in the Riviera Maya and you not only get an air-conditioned hotel room, but a fully-furnished apartment at an incredible price.
  4. Enjoy being free. Remember, you’re on vacation to have fun. Why tie yourself to a schedule? Check out guided walking tours or have an adventure and discover surrounding areas.
  5. Have an authentic experience. Mixing with the vibe of a place is an experience unmatched in every way. By living like a true local you can discover more than as a tourist and meet incredible people.

We hope these tips will encourage you to travel and have fun on your vacation.

How to get the best tan

Seeing celebrities’ perfect tans makes us wish we could spend more time at the beach. That’s especially true for those of us who spend most of our time in an office or living in cities where the weather isn’t exactly ideal for sunbathing.

Summer is the perfect time to get some color, but beware: as delicious as sunbathing by the Caribbean Sea in Playa del Carmen is, overdoing it can lead to serious injury.

Here are some tips to get a perfect, healthy tan:

  • Antioxidants are your allies
    An appropriate intake of vitamin E and beta-carotene will contribute to protecting your skin from the negative side effects of excessive sun exposure. Take them as early as 30 days before your tanning session. The results will be amazing.

 

  • Sunblock is your best friend
    A sunscreen with a high SPF will help you get a better tan. You read that right: despite being called sunblock, it’s a great way to take care of your skin.

 

  • Be extra careful during the sun’s strongest hours
    Between 12 and 4 pm, solar radiation is excessively high and can be dangerous. At those hours, it’s best to get some shade under an umbrella, a palm tree or any of the many services offered in places like Playa del Carmen.

 

  • Eat well
    Carrots, tomatoes, peppers and leafy greens help your tan last longer, as well as prevent dehydration and peeling.

 

  • Stay hydrated
    After sun exposure, it’s a good idea to apply ointments, aloe vera or moisturizing lotion on your skin, and drink plenty of water. That way you’ll avoid dryness, sunburns and other side effects.

There’s no better place for sunbathing than the beach. Would you like to look at options offering the best amenities, location and service at an incredible price? Discover Happy Address and get ready for your tan.

The best vegetarian and vegan places in Playa del Carmen

When it comes to their food, vegans have truly set the record straight: vegan food is far from bland. Ingenuity keeps reaching higher and higher levels at the hands of professional and amateur chefs, who carefully mix flavors, textures and colors in recipes that can seduce even the most seasoned carnivores.

One of the best places to try is Mashke, with a mix of dishes and ingredients that give it a mystical touch; a space where every beverage has a touch of alchemy, fruits and natural herbs.

At Falafel Nessya you’ll find delicious variations of this Middle Eastern classic. The freshness of its options, its friendly service and its wide variety will leave you wanting more.

El Naranjo is vegetarian, healthy and delicious, featuring meatless alternatives of wonderful dishes; prepared with fresh ingredients and no meat, they’ll surely satisfy your palate and your soul.

Among detox campaigns, Tibetan Mondays and vegan/vegetarian menus, restaurant Dharma stays true to history and principles to achieve harmony in every meal.

It must be said, though, there’s nothing like a home-cooked meal. No matter how good the chef may be, some dishes are just better when you make them.

Want to make the most of your creativity? Why not get a place where you can become your own chef? A place like Happy Address, where the house will be yours to prepare all your favorites.

Todas y todos son bienvenid@s

Cuando decidimos crear Happy Address sólo teníamos una idea en mente: dejarte ser LIBRE.

blog_libertad_chicas

Vivimos en un mundo donde todo tiene términos y condiciones. Desde que te despiertas estás firmando contratos y obedeciendo reglas, respondiendo preguntas.

¿Qué haces?, ¿qué piensas?, ¿a dónde vas?, ¿quieres redondear?…

Por eso Happy Address se trata de ti y de que seas quien quieras, como quieras y donde quieras.

blog_libertad_amigos2

Todas y todos son bienvenid@s, nuestra única condición es que la pases increíble, que te diviertas, que vivas como nunca, que disfrutes de los paraísos y las propiedades que tenemos para ti.

Happy Address es un proyecto inclusivo: ven tú, ven con quien quieras y haz lo que quieras. Olvídate de las reglas rígidas e inhumanas de un hotel.

 

Estamos aquí para comprenderte, sabemos que somos humanos, que a veces el tiempo pasa sin que nos demos cuenta, que hoy quieres correr, pero mañana posiblemente querrás descansar.

Entendemos si quieres venir sólo con tu pareja, con amigos, con tu perro o conocer a alguien en un antro, o en un café, o en un bar.

Happy Address es tu LIBERTAD.
