I am looking for a warm Christmas destination to go on my own to relax and mingle - would Playa del Carmen fit the profile? Are there many singles there at that time of year?
Is PDC a good destination for a single 33 year old guy to spend Christmas?

Although I've never been there at Christmas time, I've been there many times in the winter. If you're looking for a lively destination with a beautiful beach, Playa would fit the bill. There are Euro feeling beach clubs like Mamita's that seem to be popular with the singles crowd, and at night the bars and restaurants on the beach and along 5th ave are always busy. Another thing that makes this city interesting is that it attracts a lot of Europeans, particularly Italians.
Christmas is the top travel time so if you are going anywhere you should book it as soon as possible. There will also be a lot of families wherever you go.
Playa del Carmen is a great town with good beaches and yummy restaurants. There are several clubs if you are looking for night life.
