The short story is this. The Quintana Roo province hosts Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and all the chic resorts in between. The area was built around tourism. It represents the lifeblood of the region. The peninsula would be just a beautiful stretch of coastline if there weren't the hotels. And without the hotels there wouldn't be the shops and restaurants. In some ways it's equal parts gaudy and overwhelming.
On the other hand, it's also kind cool. There's definitely some amazing things to see including Mayan ruins, picturesque beaches, and cenotes. And while I didn't come to Mexico to order American food in English, I can appreciate that it's a relatively cheap getaway where people can see interesting things and more importantly just have fun. That's exactly what we did.
