The beauty of living and traveling in Playa del Carmen is the weather. You get beautiful hot sunny weather 90% of the year and the odd day here and there you might get a couple hours of tropical showers. The beauty here is it usually never rains for a full day. So, you can enjoy some indoor festivities while it rains and hit up the beach when it’s finished watering all the luscious palm trees. One might want to be prepared in case that situation arises and have fun things planned out in case it starts raining.
We will now provide a list of many fun activities in the Riviera Maya that you can partake in when it rains
This beautiful place is not just about the beach and the ocean! Of course that’s a huge reason Playa attracts so many visitors but there’s tons and tons of other fun things to do too!

You name it, there’s probably a restaurant of that origin located here in Playa del Carmen.

Watch a movie at the movie theatre
Who doesn’t like watching movies when it’s raining? If you don’t speak Spanish don’t worry, most of the movies are in English with Spanish subtitles. The movie theatre is located at the big mall just on the outside of town. If watching a movie didn’t catch your interest maybe practicing up on your Spanish lessons did. There are many great Spanish teaches here in Mexico that could meet with you to teach you a few of the basics. Why not meet at a coffee shop and learn some new words, while enjoying some good Mexican coffee.
