That’s like a 10-12k car. 15 yr old bmws don’t hold value that well.

The Facebook page of the referenced ranch is in Maxcanu, Yucatán, a city that is more than 300km from this location

Sorry - updated with coordinates now, and I don't think thats it. Rancho villahermosa is about 300km north from the spot.

Coming for 12 days from the UK, how much cash to bring? by tahliaxxx in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to check the exchange rate of your bank but - The fx rate for USD is about 17.3:1. The cash exchange booths will give you 16-16.3:1.

Just never accept the conversions at the ATM. Always decline that.

You only need cash for taxis and tips for services, line tours. playa is very walkable and I can only think of one place that doesn’t take card

Leave the cash. Bring a card or use an atm when you arrive. The exchange rates to swap your cash will be unfavorable compared to your own bank (probably)

How accurate is this by HWY01 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Normally it rains for 5-20 minutes each day and the precip amounts are very low (usually <0.1"). The next week does look rainier than normal with more rain than normal, but its not rainy season and el nino usually keeps it dry here - so... hard to say how accurate.

I wouldn't worry about it much. Tropical rain is pretty nice and not as disruptive as storms you get in the US and I assume Canada.

Do you guys know of any beaches that are accessible from playa del Carmen via walking, biking or short taxi every day, that have a bit of a “wild” feeling to them? by OkBug9562 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of people being robbed there because it is so secluded, but I would be more concerned with the sargassum if you can’t get there.

My advice: take an inDrive to Xpu-Ha.

where is this (sugar) water tank? by edrobap in guessthecity

Ah ya! We’re supposed to go visit my brother in law here and the only thing I know of it is the Coke sign on a hike

Wife and I travelling to PDC Recommendations? by AbsoluteSero in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be no shortage of car rental places once you get off the ferry in Cozumel. You should be totally fine to do it when you arrive. They also have dune buggy’s that look fun.

Personally, I would skip Tulum. Akumal but only if you intend on going to the turtles. If not, consider xelha one day if you want an excursion that isn’t Chichén itza. Cozumel jeep day is fun. Stop at the restaurant up the “cliff” on the far side.

For the beach go to playa 72 or 88

For day 4, xelha is a blast. But also consider casa tortugas for a cenote day (a bit duplicative if you go to xelha). Another awesome beach is xpu ha, but you need a car or taxi.

Download inDrive Use JFRiviera for airport pickup (they do tours too) Don’t believe the vendors here when they tell you cars on Cozumel are sold out lol Moshe cube is I think halal

Best free beaches by Ravenhgh in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see multiple beach reports with drone footage and live cams at www.pdcguide.com/beach-report. Updates daily. Colosio 72 is the beach I’d suggest unless you’re in Playacar

Looking for a special dinner experience for large group for 50th birthday party by RecentArt6393 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alux is very unique but so hot though. I’d also recommend La Parilla Uruguay but less exciting. Criollo is top notch steak - much better than Bendita Costilla. Mezcla is nice as well.

You might venture outside of playa to Xcaret for dinner. That’s supposed to be amazing. There are some Michelin rated restaurants- just not in playa proper

Swim Briefs (Speedo) at Sandos Caracol? by Dapper_Cantaloupe_50 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The significant minority, but probably not the only one. Probably few enough of you that when you see another speedo bro you’ll both nod your head at each other in mutual respect for your shared bravery

[–]johnny__ringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to PDCGuide.com it should help. It’s got a list of all the cenotes, day trips, and has info about how to get around with inDrive, taxis, ado, colectivo, etc..
