Please note that Playa del Carmen in general has noisy bars and restaurants. Particularly in its "City Center" where La Coccinella complex is. "Centro" es: Calle 10th (south) towards Constituyente north to Calle 38th, along Fifth Avenue. Our Guests find our noise-abating suggestions very satisfactory. Or have no issues with - even like - area's lively music. The once very loud nightclub mentioned in some older reviews is gone! Yippee...

We absolutely loved our stay at Antoinette's place! It was cozy but big enough to entertain another couple. We'd planned on doing more cooking in the apartment but there were so many good and inexpensive restaurant options we hardly ate in at all. It's a short walk to the Mega or Walmart but if you've got more than you'd like to carry it's only 40 pesos for a cab. The courtyard is picturesque and we really enjoyed our time on the balcony just reading or watching the birds that happened to drop in. Next time we're in Playa we'll definitely be getting back in touch with Antoinette.
