I do believe you have to go via Palenque from Yaxchilan, unless you're adventurous enough to cross the border there into Guatemala and do Tikal and then go via Belize - which is a supercool trip! I would be surprised if there are no day-time buses from Palenque to Playa, but I would not hesitate to take the night bus. They're pretty comfortable and that way you don't lose a day (and you save a night's hotel if you're traveling on a shoestring). Safety is a tricky thing to advise about, but if you're adventuous enough to travel independently to Palenque and Yaxchilan, the night bus nothing you should worry about. Don't miss Bonampak when you're by Yaxchilan.
