    For anyone wondering, Playa del Carmen is superior to Tulum and Cancun for digital nomads (assuming you want to be near the beach). Tulum's best area was designed to force you into taxis or into rentiing bikes, and the access to the public beaches is about 5 miles away from town. Power goes out for days when hurricanes hit, and the same goes for the internet. Tulum and Cancun also have insanely pricey taxis.
