In Calica/Playa Del Carmen,
we took a cab to the downtown/beach area. Calica is a no frills port so
you have to take a cab to Playa Del Carmen (which is nice). That was just
six dollars for three of us. Once we got to the beach there were several
resorts to choose from. They offered chairs and umbrellas...and had wait
service on the beach. We bargained until we got the best deal. Some of the
resorts will throw in some extras if you are willing to bargain.
