Playa Del Carmen Resorts

The swine flu hysteria is finally starting to die down a little bit. But everybody is wondering if they should cancel their vacation to Mexico and Playa or if they should still go.

If you are one of those who are worrying about Swine flu in Playa Del Carmen, then you can rest easy knowing that there is still no reported case in Playa or even in the whole of Yucatan according to Luna Blue’s PlayaZone blog. All hotels, resorts, restaurants, bars, beach clubs and tour operators are still open and in full swing. For a day or two there people were wearing masks, but that only lasted for a little while until people realized just how miserable wearing a mask in the Carribbean heat was!

Of course, if you do feel like you have the flu at all you should certainly go and see the doctor to get checked out. Don’t risk letting it go undiagnosed. Wash your hands regularly, don’t touch commonly touched areaas without using some hand sanitizer (which I believe is also sold out in all of Mexico so bring your own!), and just be intelligent and don’t cough on or get coughed on by anybody who looks sick.

As of now Swine flu is reportedly nothing more than a mild flu, which means it’s nothing to worry about too much, and let’s hope it stays that way!

Forums are great places to get Playa Del Carmen information. There are a few forums out there that are especially good for planning your next trip, the members are helpful and the information already in the database is very useful. Please be sure to at least do a little digging before you decide to ask yet another quesiton like: How do I take a taxi to my hotel?

If you have traveled internationally EVER, or have ever been in a city, then taking a taxi shouldn’t be that difficult a thing to figure out. They are more expensive if you catch one from the airport, and you can’t get a round trip ticket on a taxi, it’s a taxi… not a car or shuttle service. You just flag one down, tell them the name of your hotel, ask how much, then if you can afford it, get in and enjoy the ride. You generally can’t haggle with the taxi cabs at the airport as they have a set price mandated by the airport itself.

Sorry, a bit off topic. Manzanillo forums:
