About Renting a Car at Playa Del Carmen Tucan Hotel

Playa del Carmen is a vibrant town along Riviera Maya in Mexico, and from the Hotel Tucan you have a perfect location to explore the entire coastline by car. Drive north along Highway 307 and you'll reach Cancún in less than an hour, while a short drive south takes you to Tulum with its dramatic Mayan ruins overlooking the sea. If you want to explore the interior, Chichén Itzá, one of the world's best-preserved Mayan temples, is accessible in approximately two and a half hours' drive.

Along the way you can stop at cenotes, the crystal-clear underground lakes unique to the Yucatán Peninsula and a must for diving. The best time to travel is November to April, when the climate is pleasant and the rainy season is over.
