The location on 5th Ave is in a perfect place if you are there for that atmosphere. There are wonderful restaurants, shops and other services just outside the front door. Where the hotel is on 5th Ave is very lively and probably the best all-around part of the entire Avenue which stretches for at least 2+ miles. The hotel is pretty neat with the atrium full of plants and trees with all the rooms around it. The staff were all very kind. The front desk was staffed often by a man named Saul who was extra nice with easy directions and good suggestions. Room 32 is a decent size with 2 beds and a nice sized shower. A large closet with a safe for your valuables. The free breakfast is at a nearby Italian restaurant just a few steps outside and is an offering of fruits and coffee. Beautiful place to enjoy the quiet mornings. There is more available for a discounted price. However, there is a restaurant across the road called La Vagabunda that superb and quite inexpensive. I highly recommend!

At the centre of the Mayan Riveria is Playa del Carmen, a playground for hip Europeans and toned-and-tanned Americans. This resort town showcases the renowned white-sand beaches of the Caribbean Coast along the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Playa del Carmen's powdery white sands are nestled between Cancun to its north, Tulum in the south and the island of Cozumel, 20 km east with its fantastic diving in the nearby Great Maya Reef. Awake from an afternoon nap to take a dip, go snorkelling or deep-sea fishing in the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Playa is an easy choice as a holiday destination with its range of hotels, many first-class restaurants and beachside nightclubs. Quinta Avienda, also known as 5th Avenue, is the main tourist hub and shopping district. For a more authentic Mexico experience, venture outside of the centre to a local cenote (sinkhole) or Mayan ruins in Tulum.
Cruise ships dock in nearby Cozumel and traffic people to the mainland arriving at the Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal. If the glimmering Caribbean waters are full, then Booking.com has a huge number of hotels with an outdoor swimming pool by the beach.
I went there to see a dentist. The cost to fly there and stay for week plus the dental visit was less than my cost do it here at home. So, I was there for a week.
The beaches are beautiful and the sun is strong! PDC has a busy shopping district that you have to see. 5th Ave is about 2 miles of shops and restaurants and other services like massages and pharmacies. Lots of junk and somewhat aggressive shopkeepers trying to get you into their store.
The roads that run parallel to 5th are also full of shops and restaurants, but at a much quieter pace. 1st and 10th Ave are a welcome relief from the hustles on 5th.
Be aware of scammers on 5th saying "remember me from the hotel" also you will be offered weed and cocaine many times a day when you walk up and down 5th Ave. You will get used to saying "no thank you" and just keep saying it.
PDC is safe, just keep you're head on straight and don't get too drunk while you're there. And make smart decisions.
PDC is a 3 hour bus ride to Chichen Itza and that is the must see of any trip the region.

The beach wasn't swimmable because it had a lot of rocks, a lot of seaweed and the hotel didn't clean it.
Go to Cancún, Playa del Carmen is not beautiful. The resort: Yucatan princess was the worst part, as the food served there was horrible. I came home very sad.

It was an unexpected delight. It's a walkable city close to the beach. It comes alive at night and is so serene to navigate through. The structure of the buildings are gorgeous. I loved also being around the people of Playa Del Carmen; I loved the local feel to it.

Less crowdy and touristy than Cancun, much more beautiful and practical than Tulum. Stick to the eastern part of the fifth avenue which is much less turisty and has some wonderful local restaurants and brunch places

Having spent some time in Cancun, (zona hotelera) before visiting playa del Carmen, I think I would definitely prefer the beaches in Cancun. Playa del Carmen had a lot of seaweed and I found that unpleasant. The sea was alright, the facilities we didn't use because our accommodation was right in front of the beach.

I loved the location!!! Close to restaurants, shops, bars, and clubs. walking distance to catch the ferries as well. The inn is right on the beach, which was cleaned daily. The affiliated resurant was a great touch. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The food was good and drinks. We had the oceanview room. Very clean and spacious. The beds/pillows were comfortable. He showe water pressure was and hot. The wifi was good, just make sure you reconnect when you return to your room/hotel.
Great location right on the beach with free beach chairs and also just a few steps from main street with bars and restaurant. Personal were kind and helpfull, also there were two armed security guys all the time in any case. Room was spacy with direct entrance to inner garder. Also benefit is that you dont hear noise and music from main street. And at last there is great value for the price, we checked many hotels there in this price range and this one is definately the best choice.
The staff were very nice and while the hotel is downtown Playa del Carmen, it is in a quiet area. It is your basic OYO hotel, clean comfy beds, reception and 24 hour security, daily housekeeping, free drinking water / coffee, hot showers with good water pressure, small fridge and very good internet. The person at reception spoke good English and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Good old Mexican hospitality!
Fantastic hotel, located on 5th Avenue, 10 minutes walk from the beach. Close to many bars and restaurants.
The room is very big and clean, the bed is very comfortable, Wifi connection is very good.
The staff is very communicative and helped me a lot during my stay, they were very caring and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during my stay.
I loved this place !!! I will come back for sure when I am back to Playa Del Carmen.
This was my favorite place out of 3 different boutique hotels I stayed at in Playa del Carmen. The location is the best - right on the beach and on 38th, the cutest street IMO in Playa with lots of great restaurant options. I stayed in a penthouse suite, so it was amazing to have more space and my own plunge pool. The rooftop pool was also amazing and one of my favorite parts of the stay. I'll definitely be back here!
we really enjoy the area and also the wonderful facilities and couple who own the property. Serafim is very helpful as is his wife Itzel. Feels like casa (home). We highly recommend staying here for a relaxing and fun stay in Playa Del Carmen. A special thanks for their rides to and from Cancun. That really starts and ends the trip in the best way. Looking forward to returning to the Gem.
Great location right on the beach and central to 5th avenue the main stretch. Large room overlooking the sea. Great service from Alex and Manuel. Simple breakfast but does the job, only two main choices - Mexican breakfast or pancakes. The main menu at this hotel is somewhat pretty amazing the best food I was eating whilst on my stay there. Stunning food!
This hotel is in a great location for going out in Playa Del Carmen. Very friendly service with welcome drink during check in. They have a cool snack bar where you can get burgers and they have a really great restaurant. I had a three course dinner with wine which was included in the price. This place therefore offers exceptional value for money!
Convenient stop coming from the ferry at Playa Del Carmen, only 15min drive. The hostess was incredibly friendly and conversed fluently in English. Cute pool and very clean rooms. Enormous bed and good pillows. Hotel cat was very vocal and cuddly as well! Breakfast was great, would recommend the Mexican cheesy option over the pancakes though.
The hotel itself was amazing. It has a great location right on the beach, some great pools in the resort and the town of playa del carmen is right on the doorstep if you want to head out in the evening or go shopping in the day. The staff were all very friendly and the entertainment during the day by the pool was great.
The hotel is really pretty and right In the Center of Playa del Carmen. We loved the room with the balcony and the hammock. There is a possibility to have breakfast on the beach in the beachclub of the hotel!
The staff is really friendly and always willing to help out.
The rooftop pool was nice. The hotel is not located on the beach, but they have shuttles running to the other Reef hotels located on the beach where you have access. All inclusive is definitely the way to go. The staff were very friendly.
The hotel is beautiful, one of the best interior designs I´ve ever seen. Right on the beach, all rooms offer exceptional views. The food, in terms of quality, was exceptionally good. Also the drinks were well prepared.
I liked everything about the hotel: the proximity to the beach and to 5a avenida, the restaurant and beach club, the breakfast, and the room. I think I even preferred staying here than at the all inclusive in Cancun!
Clean, well-manicured grounds. Right on the beach in the heart of Playa Del Carmen, so you can get a sense of the city and retreat to the private resort. Great location. Staff were really nice. Food was good!
It’s right on the beach and one block from all the shops and restaurants on 5th and it’s next door to an amazing restaurant. The outside of this hotel really is quite charming.
