Playa del Carmen Activity

Currency exchange service in Playa del Carmen.

If you are in Playa tonight, do not stay in. The city holds El Grito in Plaza 28 de Julio, and it is the one night a year when the whole town turns out for the same thing. Things start at 9:00 PM. The Grito itself is the centre of it: the shout, the flag, and a plaza full of people yelling ¡Viva México! After that, Ximena Sariñana and Sin Bandera close the night. Sin Bandera playing to a crowd that knows every word is worth showing up for on its own. It is free, it is outdoors, and it is a family crowd rather than a club crowd, so bring whoever you are with. Get there before 9:00 if you want to be anywhere near the stage, because the plaza fills up fast. If you have never seen El Grito in person, this is the one to go to.

The Elite Club provides private pool areas, exclusive dining, and top-shelf spirits, making it an unparalleled all-inclusive experience. The new restaurant and bar offerings ensure that gastronomic and beverage options are always available, regardless of the time of day.
