Reviewed By elabea52 - Vancouver, Canada
Located on the edge of Parque Los Fundadores and La Quinta in Playa del Carmen, this beautiful Catholic chapel is a real gem. Built in the neoclassic style, with its clean lines, white walls and round arches, it welcomes you and invites inside. Once inside, you notice purity and simplicity. There is no rich ornamentation. However, white walls, accentuating purity, dark wooden benches and matching dark wood ceiling beams dramatically improve interior's decor, giving the chapel a warm and cozy feeling.The altar is also very basic, but the large window behind it links to the beach, the ocean and the sky, connecting Heaven and Earth. If the chapel's purpose was contemplation, meditation and worship, it has been met.

It almost seems surreal to be able to walk up close to the ruins in Playacar Fase 1. These are the only ruins in Mexico that are free to view. A must see on any trip to PDC.

If you plan to visit Playa del Carmen you definitely need to visit Quinta Avenida or Fifth avenue, it is so colorful and full of fine dining, shopping, and just fun to walk, around 2 miles of all kinds of stores, restaurants, and souvenirs to take home. It was at walking distance from our hotel so we really enjoyed, and we hope to come back very soon
