Unlike other parts of the world many people can not afford their own computer here in Playa del Carmen so the internet café phenomenon has certainly hit here with a force. From higher end air-conditioned internet cafes, to a beater computer at the local laundry mat, there are internet cafes literally on every corner. Prices are inexpensive, and some of the more well known chains also offer long distance services to other parts of Mexico, South America, Europe, the United States, and Canada. Either way you can keep in touch with loved ones or business connections easily while traveling in Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.
