Re: Walking Distance to Playa del Carmen? (by Steve T.):
I walk it all the time when we stay there. It really is about a 10 minute to the Cozumel ferry wharf (the heart of downtown).
Moreover, because Fishermen's is in a gated community (and because Playa is generally a really safe destination) there are no worries about walking back to the resort in the dark.
Before the hurricanes we also used to walk along the beach into town, but there are still a couple of places that aren't accessible right now unless you want to get your feet wet.
As was mentioned, there is a shuttle from the resort. And cabs are relatively frequent and cheap if you find yourself too drunk, tired, or laden with souvenirs to walk back.
