A 15 minute city is where everything is available to you within 15 minutes walking, biking, or public transit.
I know Mexico city fits this bill. Playa del carmen as well.
PDC I’d rather avoid. A bit too party tourism, dangerous I found.
Vallarta I’ve been too and almost fits. I enjoyed there.
After booking a money-saving tool, you have to book through another OTA first like Booking, Expedia, etc.
