Then from Playa you can take a 20 minute ferry ride to Cozumel. There is tons to do there too. And if you wanted you can go up to Cancun and hit some of the bars and clubs too. I think Playa Del Carmen and Cozumel are much more romantic tho.

I think it would be perfect because you don't have the hassle of a cruise but you have freedom of 3 different places.

When we were in Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, and Cancun they didn't have any of the typical problems that you always hear about in mexico (people pushing you to buy shit and it being dirty). The only down side is you can't drink the water but everywhere has bottled anyway. My wife and I are definitely planning on going back as soon as we can
