What better place to start into 2016 than a beautiful Caribbean beach? Come celebrate with us in Playa Palms Beach Hotel!
New Year’s Eve sure is an event you want to make memorable. An excellent way to do so is to spend it at a gorgeous place with amazing people. Playa del Carmen entices people with exactly that. Palm-tree fringed beaches with white sand, and the warm, transparent waters of the Caribbean Sea set the scene. Stroll the sunny 5th Avenue, dance on the streets, watch the fireworks over the Sea, cling glasses under the starry sky… Playa del Carmen truly is a great New Year’s experience.
You can choose from a wide range of restaurants to have dinner at, serving specialties from all over the world. Also, there is a whole variety of parties going on, most of them at the famous 12th street and on the beach. Clubs and festivals organize the worldwide best DJ’s for their New Year’s parties, and you can party until dawn, to then welcome the New Year by watching the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea.
Looking for a more quiet way to spend New Year’s Eve? Escape the bustle on your spacious balcony at Playa Palms Beach Hotel – we manage to be your haven of peace while being right in the middle of everything. Lay back, relax, and enjoy the service at our Beach Club in Playa Palms Beach Hotel.
For concrete ideas on how and where to celebrate New Year’s, ask our Concierge Carlos. He will find just the right activities for you.
And don’t forget to get some grapes! In Mexico we eat twelve grapes at midnight, representing the twelve months of the year. With every grape you eat, a wish you have for the coming year will be fulfilled.
We certainly wish you a year full of joy, happiness, love and success!
