Playa brochure

Planning a trip to Playa, have an old free pamphlet "Destination Playa Del Carmen" published by Destination Enterprises. Lists hotels, restaurants etc. Does anyone know if they still publish it or if I can get something similar?

What you need, most definitely, is the best resource out there for the Riviera Maya and Playa Del Carmen on print...
(Besides the Playa.Info site)

...get yourself a Mapchick Map...

And also read the trip planning tabs and links above for loads of great information...

I think you are looking for travelnow dot com
This board and what cuff said is your best bet, but if you are looking for something immediately, try that website. It helps a little, I hope.

There's also a great travel guide book that came out a few months ago...
Great Destinations Mexico - Playa del Carmen, Tulum & the Riviera Maya - A Complete Guide. Author Joshua Eden Hinsdale. Retails for 18.95. I got it off Amazon but I'm sure it's in the stores by now. Very current info.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I will look on the web for more. Anybody there know of Mary A. from Cass Lake, Minnesota? She's helping us set up our trip.

Yes they still print that pamphlet, I have one from Feb. 2006. There is an e-mail adress destination at prodigy.net.mx I do not know if they can send you one though.

I don't know Mary A, but I know where Cass Lake is. In fact, we drove through there on Saturday.

Laura's Maps Are Great

I'd recommend the MapChick maps. They are really detailed and helpful.

Thanks for mentioning my Great Destinations book. It goes into the history, people, culture and things you can't cover in a map, which make it a great complement to Laura's maps.

Is this the one that comes in the bag that they hand out at the airport? If so, then I have it and I was just looking at it this morning.
