Guest perks
Stuff we already negotiated for you
Discounted day passes to Martina Beach Club — TripAdvisor’s #3 in Playa — plus guest rates across the tours, dining, and rides below. None of it costs extra to ask for.
Xcaret & Xel-Há, guest pricing
Cenote rivers, jungle trails, the parks everyone asks about — booked at exclusive rates through us, not the resort desk.
Skip the tour-desk markup
Chichén Itzá, Cozumel reefs, Xplor — booked through David Riviera Maya Tours at guest rates, not lobby-kiosk rates.
Eat where we eat
Al pastor, birria, the stand with no sign and a line out front. We'll point you there — some come with a guest discount.
Scooter or bike, guest rate
Playa's small enough to ride across. Discounted rentals so you're not paying tourist price to get to Playa 38.
The reef, without the upsell
Mesoamerican Barrier Reef dives and Cozumel crossings at discounted guest rates — no timeshare pitch attached.
Airport to door, no haggling
Discounted shuttle service straight from CUN or TQO. No terminal touts, no cash negotiation, just show up.
Xcaret & Xel-Há, guest pricing
Cenote rivers, jungle trails, the parks everyone asks about — booked at exclusive rates through us, not the resort desk.

Muy tranquilo
There is a word that keeps coming up across Mexico. You hear it in the market, on the beach, in the conversations of locals who have found something most travellers spend their whole trip searching for. Muy tranquilo — very calm, peaceful, quiet, relaxed. I hand-picked the properties and locations in Playa del Carmen that I believe best connect you with local culture and experience. Mexico is beautiful. Her people and her culture even more so.
