Casa del Shiva is based in a more local, colourful area, slightly away from the mayhem of the very busy center in Playa del Carmen. The center and the beaches are still very easily reached down one straight road which takes less than 10 mins on a bike or bus! (bikes are free to rent at the hostel and buses come every minute from outside!!) So you are still only 10 mins away from paradise Caribbean beaches
