Hi James, Good to hear from you. I know how oppressive the heat in the middle east can be. I grew up in Israel. BUT Mexico heat is very different, (it does get brutaly hot though in August, and also very humid so thats my least favorite time to travel however after that, Mid Sept all the way through June its awesome).
As far as where to start on your vacation, thats very simple, the 2 resorts I suggested are in the HEART of town, so you are within walking distance to everything, shops, arts and crafts, galleries, nightlife, restaurants. Though both are complete all inclusive where all you can eat meals and drinks (including alcohol) are included.... If you dont mind being 5 minutes by cab from the center, then there are many other choices.
Along the Mayan Riviera itself, there are lots of beautiful resorts, and they are within 10 - 30 minutes from the heart of Playa del Carmen, depending on the location, they also vary in price, and the farther they are from town, typicaly the less expensive, though the quality is still great.
I can get you costs on rooms for the hotels you like but it would help if you can give me some idea on dates, even approximate dates would help and then I can pick say 3 of my favorites and send you pricing.
Hi James!
WELCOME to the Social Club and THANK YOU for all you do!
We started this site to get people who have never been there before excited about Playa and people who have been there and LOVED it, to post stories, comments, suggestions, pictures and videos to share.
Again Welcome!

For an all inclusive in side playa itself there are a couple of options, Gran Porto Real or the Royal Playa del Carmen which is an adult only property and is very luxurious. After that there are a couple of resorts in whats called PlayaCar - which is 5 minutes to the center of town by cab or about 15 - 20 minutes walk. Take a look at these 2, and let me know what you think. There are many more out there but these are the only 2 that are in the HEART of town (-:

Playa del Carmen is a great town, the whole region is wonderful as a matter of fact.
