If it’s time to leave the men at home and have some fun with the girls, pack your bags (don’t forget the sunscreen) and head down to Playa del Carmen. An easy flight into Cancun makes this destination a great long-weekend getaway. The town is hip and trendy with locals mixing with the tourists, and while the trendy nightlife is filled with hot men and cool drinks, laidback days provide the perfect antidote for recovering from the night before! If you want to be in the center of it all, book a room at the Basico Hotel. A member of Design Hotels (www.designhotels.com), Basico is an adults-only hotel located very close to the ocean just off the bustling center of Playa del Carmen’s 5th Avenue. The top floor hosts the Azotea Bar along with the hotel’s pool area. Nightlife abounds in Playa. All clubs stay open until the early morning hours, but if you only have time to hit one, the place to see and be seen is the Hotel Deseo Lounge. The rooftop bar comes complete with beds to relax on while you sip margaritas. If you want to dance the night away, hit La Santanera Lounge, where the DJ spins everything from reggaeton to lounge until the wee hours of the morning—and the eye candy can’t be beat.
