Hey @toofasteddie I was living in the quiet area of Playa Del Carmen this year, so know the area pretty well now. Did you visit Coba or Ek Balam ruins on your trip?
Also I love Isla Mujeres during the week on the quieter days.
We loved Valladolid also.

We are now in La Cruz on the pacific coast, stunning nature everywhere, a very different climate here. But we lived Spain before so appreciate the mountains very much. Thanks for you share.
