One of the more famous things to do in Playa Del Carmen is to spend time at a beach club. A beach club is basically a restaurant that is beachfront. Most of them do not charge you anything to use their sun loungers / tables / change rooms, but they charge you a minimum consumption fee.

We went to INTI beach club and then charge 500 peso minimum per person. They are a more relaxed and laid back place with quiet music. Some places are more like “Girls Gone Wild Spring Break edition”. Anyhow, this place has awesome food.

There is also a very large drinks list – from wine (from all over the world) to beer to cocktails … pretty much anything you can want, they have it.

The nice thing is that you are right by the beach so you can go to swim and then come back and have something to eat and go back and do some swimming again. You can spend a couple hours at these places and we found it nice and relaxing.

One things I was not expecting was a tropical storm. It was nice as it has been so humid and it broke the humidity quite nicely. The staff seemed to realize that the storm was coming and they moved everybody to an inside location. You can still see some people swimming in the rain though 🙂
