Playa del Carmen, Mexico's virtual guidebook written by locals

pdc directory


La Ranita - The Little Frog - is the second home for many of us locals. This is where we get the latest gossip and meet all our friends.

The owners Thed and Pia has created a truly welcoming and relaxed bar with a fun decor, full of frogs of course. The bartenders at La Ranita sure know how to mix some awesome drinks.

As a PdC-card holder you can do what the serious regulars do - you can use the PlayaInfo private box in La Ranita where you can keep your own bottle of your favorite spirits. You just buy the bottle in the bar and whatever you want to mix it with, is on the house! Or you'll get 30% off your bar tab, whatever works for you.

Great people on both sides of the bar. Excellent sized bar for intimate and fun nights.
