When to Go to Playa del Carmen
The best time to visit is in April or May when the temperatures aren’t too high, and there’s less of a chance of overwhelming humidity. The beaches are less crowded, too, making the experience more serene. These prime two months are also the way to go if you want to avoid Mexico’s hurricane season, which lasts from June to September.
