"Playa del Carmen is a rather safe city for female solo travelers. However, I don't recommend going to a club on your own or walking alone at night. Stay away from drugs and do not drink excessively, and you will have a great time exploring this city. At no point did I feel unsafe in this city."
Travel insurance isn't mandatory, but recommended. β¨Choose a plan that offers coverage for Covid-19 and unexpected quarantine.
