Inexpensive NON AI??

Have done AI in Cancun and Jamaica (twice). If we were plan a trip where we DON"T stay at an AI, what would you recommend and why? Background: in mid 50's, we are not foodies, not into shopping, don't drink much, and want a safe environment. We like a zip line. A beautiful beach is not a must, but the water must be beautiful. We have to fly from Atlanta or Orlando. Our budget is $1,000. pp for room and air for three nights. Thanks.

A boutique hotel off of 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen, MX. Within walking distance to many bars and restaurants. Zipline park nearby at X'Plor.

Thanks, KVR.
That sounds like something we would like.

Glad you are interested. Check out this webiste for accomendations.

We have stayed at Playa Plams,which I really liked, but they do not have a resturant/bar on site.

If you don't have to be right on the beach La Tortuga is great.

Other options; Le Reve, Mahekal, Petit Lafitte, Las Palapas, and Mosquito Blue

Here's the link to the zipline park:

Just be careful with weight limits and physical stature.

I like Puerto Vallarta (where I can rent either hotel rooms or apartments for ~$50-60/night). But since you are flying from Atlanta or Orlando I think the Caribbean islands or the Caribbean coast of Mexico makes more sense. Both for travel time with such a short vacation, and to stretch your budget.
