Booking Tips
5th Avenue Access
Most PDC resorts are a short taxi from 5th Avenue — combine a resort morning with an afternoon shopping and dining.
Book Day-Before
Sargassum at PDC can arrive overnight. Having a resort pass pre-booked means you're never caught out.
Cozumel Option
The Cozumel ferry runs from central PDC. If the beach is heavy, a day trip to Cozumel is another great escape.
Spa Resorts
Several PDC-area resorts include spa access in their day passes — ideal for a slower, more relaxing day.
