    Cool :) Great camera & editing skills. If you were to recommend a place in Mexico to visit for a first timer for 1 month where would it be? Would it be Playa? Also I noticed you never visited the Mayan sights or xcaret which I see recommended so often - is it because you already saw it?

Mind sharing which month? If it was December or January that is usually considered high season here. And if it was November that's really cool that there wasn't much Sargazo (there is now :)

    Hello, I work remotely but require a printer in the area that can print construction drawings. Does anyone know of a printing shop/service in playa del Carmen? Great video
