Nicoletta Playa Del Carmen positions itself in the restaurants bracket and the realistic read sits between the brochure and the review tail.

Getting there from the anchor
Getting to Nicoletta Playa Del Carmen from the main highway involves a walk of about 15 minutes or a very short taxi ride. If you are arriving by ADO bus, the main terminal is a solid 20-minute walk inland, so a taxi is recommended, especially with luggage. Taxis are readily available outside the bus station and can be hailed on the street; agree on the fare before you get in, though most rides within the immediate downtown area will be minimal.
Walking is feasible if you're staying nearby and have light bags, but the Mexican sun can be intense.
Local colour
Skip the tourist traps on Fifth Avenue for dinner. Wander a few blocks inland, towards Avenida 10 or 15, and you'll find more authentic taquerias and small restaurants where locals actually eat. Look for places packed with families, not just foreigners.
Also, be aware that while many places accept dollars, you'll almost always get a better rate paying in pesos, especially at smaller establishments away from the main drag near Nicoletta Playa Del Carmen.
