Hey I am the first person here?


What can I expect on my drivefrom the airport in Cancun to Playa Del Carmen?

It's a very straight forward drive, you'll briefly take part of the 180 to the 307 south. It's a well kept highway. Should have no troubles. There's not that much to see, you might see the entrances to some resorts but for the most part the resorts will be closer to the water. Topes are not a big problem on this route. I think there are some at the stop lights in PDC but that's all I remember. There are some others at police station between Cancun and PDC but I think that may be north of the airport. Either way, not a big deal on this drive.

Here's a map:

I am going on the 15th to playa del carmen i think i will rent and drive also, sounds like fun. Report It

A broken down taxi and a view of very dry land.
Have a great ride !

Always expect speed bumps before and after every town or village you pass through. There's usually a sign that says:
TOPES (speed bumps), but sometimes somebody needs a piece of metal that size, and the sign disappears.
Other than that, expect sea breezes, palm trees and resorts.

Playa del Carmen from the airport is more or less 1hour drive= I hope you like Playa del Carmen I did not like it I just came back from there but Cancun is real nice I hope you have a real nice visit to Mexico the people are so nice and friendly

Not much, but a straight road, some police check-points (about 2), a white horse to the side of the road, some hammered trees/vegetation from the past hurricanes, tour buses hauling you know what (a*s!), a bridge, many gates to luxury resorts, many locals going or coming out of work on the side of the road, some birds, some speed bumps, McDonalds, NOTHING MAJOR REALLY. Just enjoy the 45 minute drive, goes fast!

Pretty much nothing. A lot of the time the cab drivers don't speak very much English. It's a fairly long drive, but you get to see a lot of jungle, which is kind of cool. Bring your iPod or something to keep you busy in the car.
Have fun in Playa!

It takes about an hour, and you probably won't encounter much traffic.
