Getting there from the anchor
Getting to Cheester Playa del Carmen from the airport (CUN) is straightforward. The most common method is a pre-booked shuttle or taxi, which takes about an hour to 75 minutes depending on traffic. Walking from Cheester Playa del Carmen to the ADO bus station takes about 15 minutes, a good option if you plan on exploring beyond Playa del Carmen.
Taxis are readily available outside the hotel, but agree on the fare before getting in; the ride to the ferry terminal for Cozumel is short, perhaps 10 minutes. The main highway, 307, is a short walk away if you're catching an intercity bus.
Local colour
Locals know that the best street food isn't found on 5th Avenue, but a few blocks west, particularly around Constituyentes avenue. Look for the 'marquesitas' vendors, especially in the evening; these crispy rolled crepes filled with Edam cheese are a sweet and savory revelation.
Also, while the ferry to Cozumel is convenient, locals often opt for the local buses ('colectivos') heading south towards Tulum for a fraction of the price if they're not in a hurry. They stop near Cheester Playa del Carmen, but you'll need to walk a few blocks inland.
