Have been learning lots from all of your messages and trip reports. Great information here. So, thanks to all of you!!

Planning a trip to either Playa, Akumal, or Tulum for our 28th anniversary this September (I know the weather is questionable...but we have done this several other times during hurricane season, and it's been great!!). We have only been to Cancun (husband loved...I didn't care for) and Isla Mujeres (which I loved...husband didn't care for).

So...I'm thinking maybe Playa del Carmen would be a happy medium, even though I would rather stay in Akumal or Tulum...any suggestions from all of you.

We are looking for great beach, great little bars to relax in at night, and good food. Husband is more picky than I am. If it gives you anything to compare to, we stayed at the Gran Caribe in Cancun and my husband loved it. He seems to like AI, and I would rather not do AI, and just to keep him happy, we will probably do AI...but will still venture out for dinner.

Thanks again for all of your information...and as I go through the stages of planning, I'm sure I will contact you all many times. And, of course, I will do a trip report when we return.
