Also coming up next Hello Kitty Cafe store and a spectacular ice rink, both expected to be a succesful addition.

Although the Outlet is already a proven success, it’s only at 50 percent of its potential and it’s growing at a fast pace as new things continue to be added, with more new openings, more stores, and a lot of retail, all very good products that will contribute to establish this incredible project as one of the biggest and greatest Outlets in Latin America.

And as part of the strategy to raise the public’s interest, they will continue to have new kinds of entertainment, live music with violinists, and saxophonists, and always keep the element of surprise to attract more visitors.

It’s been also announced that they will have something special for February 14, with special activations and activities that allow them to generate a unique experience for visitors.

7 Secrets to Experiencing the Riviera Maya Like a Local

If you’re planning a trip to Mexico’s Riviera Maya, you’re in for an incredible experience.

This stunning stretch of coastline is known for its spectacular all-inclusive resorts, pristine beaches, and crystal clear waters.

While it can be easy to simply stay at the resort and enjoy all the luxuries it has to offer, you would be missing out on getting an authentic taste of the local culture.

To truly experience the Riviera Maya like a local and have a more meaningful experience, here are 7 secrets you should know.

Planning a trip to Mexico? Use my favorite travel resources!

Hotels: Expedia or Booking.com

Flights: Skyscanner

Rental Cars: Discover Cars

Tours & Activities: Viator

Travel Insurance: Travel Insurance Master

Secrets to Experiencing Riviera Maya Like a Local

Here are the best ways to experience Riviera Maya like a local:

1. Get Off the Beaten Path

If you want to really experience Riviera Maya like a local, you’re going to need to get off the resort at least once during your trip.

While the all-inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya are wonderful and convenient, they don’t give you a true taste of local life.

Instead, venture out off the beaten path and explore the local neighborhoods, markets, and restaurants in nearby towns.

For a local beach experience, head to Punta Esmeralda or Playa Xpu-Ha , which are popular among locals.

You also can’t miss visiting the nearby cenotes , natural sinkholes that are unique to this region and beloved by locals.

2. Try the Local Street Foods

One of the best ways to experience a new destination is through its food, and the Riviera Maya is no exception.

While you’ll find plenty of delicious options at your resort, be sure to venture out and try some of the local street foods as well.

In Riviera Maya, you’ll find local Yucatan specialities like cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted pork dish, and marquesitas, a crispy crepe filled with cheese and other toppings.

These can be found in downtown Playa del Carmen along 5th Avenue, or near any highly trafficked tourist areas.

3. Participate in Local Festivals and Events

The Riviera Maya is home to a vibrant culture, with many festivals and events happening throughout the year.

From traditional celebrations like Day of the Dead and Carnaval to the Riviera Maya Jazz festival, there’s always something going on in this region.

Take some time to research upcoming events during your trip and make plans to attend one.

A good place to check for upcoming events is the Ayuntamiento de Solidaridad Facebook page .

There’s usually always something going on in the main square outside of Town Hall in Playa del Carmen, with local food stalls and vendors.

4. Use Public Transportation

While taxis and private transportation are readily available in the Riviera Maya, using public transportation is not only a more affordable option but also a great way to experience local life.

The most popular form of transportation for locals in Riviera Maya is known as a “colectivo”, which is a shared van service that runs along the main highway from Cancun to Playa del Carmen and from Playa del Carmen to Tulum.

Taking a colectivo can be intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a very cheap and efficient way to travel between towns and explore different areas of the region.

You can read my full Playa del Carmen transportation guide for more detailed information on taking colectivos.

5. Dine at Local Restaurants

While it can be tempting to stick to the restaurants at your resort, dining at local restaurants is a must for experiencing the Riviera Maya like a local.

Not only will you get to try authentic and delicious dishes, but you’ll also support small businesses and interact with locals.

If you want to try out the best tacos in Playa del Carmen , I’d recommend heading to El Ñero, which is a late night spot popular among locals.

For seafood lovers, El Pirata is a local favorite for fresh and affordable seafood dishes. I’d also recommend trying the chilaquiles at La Cueva del Chango.

6. Learn Basic Spanish Phrases

While many locals in the Riviera Maya may speak English, knowing some basic Spanish phrases can go a long way in showing respect and building connections with the local community.

Take some time to learn common greetings, thank yous, and other simple phrases before your trip.

Locals will appreciate the effort and it will make your experience much more enjoyable and meaningful.

My e-Book “ Essential Spanish Phrases for Traveling in Mexico ” is a great resource to help you get started with learning basic Spanish phrases.

7. Steer Clear of the Tourist Traps

Like any popular tourist destination, the Riviera Maya has its fair share of tourist traps.

These are typically overpriced and overcrowded attractions that cater to tourists rather than providing an authentic local experience.

To truly experience the Riviera Maya like a local, steer clear of popular Riviera Maya tourist traps like Señor Frogs or Dick & Willy’s.

While they can be fun for a night out, they’re not representative of local culture and can be very overpriced.

Final Thoughts

I hope these tips will help you experience the Riviera Maya like a true local on your next trip.

Try to get off the resort at least once and don’t be afraid to try new things!

By immersing yourself in the local culture, you’ll have a much more authentic and memorable experience.

Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited when swimming in the ocean and cenotes in Mexico, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.
