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've been to Playa 4 times as of this review. I feel that it's just the perfect beach town to enjoy the gorgeous waters, nature and tropical vibes. There are tons of restaurants and attractions and great food for every price range. I love that it's very walkable and you don't need a car to do most things. This may not be the place for those looking for a more quaint and authentic Mexican experience with old world charm. You'd be better off in Oaxaca or San Miguel de Allende for those purposes. But as a beach destination that is safe, relaxing, convenient and easy to get around with tons of food and shopping options, Playa del Carmen is hard to beat.

Lots of vendors. Yeah, that's basically it.
Lots of vendors. Yeah, that's basically it. Beautiful beaches and then every Mexican trying to rip off tourists by actively approaching them. I don't blame them, not always. They gotta make a living.

Wonderful people and wonderful activities.
Wonderful people and wonderful activities. Dress appropriately for intense sun and be aware that most protected natural areas (reefs, cenotes, etc) do not allow chemical sunscreen or bugspray. Would recommend spacing out activity days and relaxation days so you don't overexhaust but get the best experience.

We felt very safe there.
We felt very safe there. The locals were wonderful and the food everywhere we went was amazing! We of course only used bottled water and the restaurants always offered still or sparkling water. We loved the laid back atmosphere so much in Playa del Carmen that we bought a condo!

50 minute airport ride in the cramped 10 pax van was not a great way to start and end the trip. Note - We booked a private a 16pax bus (there's even a picture of a beautiful mid sized bus) for our party of 10 but no one cared. There's a company in-between booking.com and the company that actually provides the transportation. They all use the same 10 pax vans (they're everywhere) and all blame each other for the confusion. Only thing they offered to do was use 2 of those vans but said we'd have to wait a long time for the second van. Crappy way to start and end the trip and a waste of money. Stay closer to the airport.

Playa Del Carmen is a beautiful, upbeat town!
Playa Del Carmen is a beautiful, upbeat town! I always think of it as a much better version of the Las Vegas strip- minus the casinos. There is so much to do, the water is breathtakingly beautiful, the food is great, and you can easily get around by bike! The ADO bus has routes to Cancun and Tulum and is very affordable! There are several beach clubs in the area and fun bars! I have travelled solo and always felt very safe! My favorite juice bar is Restaurante Nativo! Their fresh squeezed juice prices are unbeatable and always refreshing! I usually visit them several times throughout my trips there! Get out and enjoy everything the town has to offer. Taxis are fairly cheap as well! I stayed off of 38th and 10th about two blocks from Quinta Avenida and it was nice and quiet but still close to the action! Ian with Playa Bike Rentals was great for renting a bike. He dropped it off to me and his price for the week was excellent! No hidden fees or huge deposits! Harry’s is great for a late night cocktail as well! Also, Mahekal Hotel is private but does offer day passes to access their facilities! I highly recommend for the beautiful private beach if you want great cocktails and a beautiful laid back beach day!

I loved this hotel. You can see the dedication in every detail. I am sure they will keep growing. We loved having bikes to ride (no additional cost), the place is really quiet and close to a nice beach (just a couples of blocks). One of the best breakfasts during our trip in Mexico was here, not only for the variety of food each day, but because of the good service. The people from the hotel is really really nice! I could keep going saying nice things about this hotel… If you are going to Playa del Carmen, this is a excellent choice.
I love the ambiance of the hotel itself. The staff was amazing! Specially Celine and tatiana at the reception. They were both very friendly and accommodating. They made sure our stay was smooth. They also offer pastries which is really good for breakfast. Other than that the lady who cleans our room is also amazing. I didn’t get to ask her name but her hairstyle give it all with her curls on the side of her ears hehe . If i was to go back in playa del carmen i would book it at Balkón boutique again. Thank you!
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!
Overall good stay, facilities are new and very clean. Pretty sure it's the best value for money in Playa. We had a room on the 5th floor so we had almost a private sun deck, which was amazing since our toddler could play around there.
Great location, bit further away from all the tourist buzz. Nice restaurant below (not belonging to hotel). Clean and new. Just comfortable, not luxury.
Casaejido is a perfect spot to rest form the Playa del Carmen crowd. You basically are in the garden when you are in the Casaejido, it is beautiful, calm and chill. Shade from trees gives a shade and hot weather is bearable and nice.
We had everything we need in the hotel.
The only thing - they do not have stable wifi. This hotel at the moment is not for the digital nomads.
Hotel was perfectly located - close to 5th avenue and close to the beach. Staff was very supportive and always nice. Rooms are super spacious and well maintained (also cleaned everyday). At the roof-top there is a nice pool with sunbeds and cafe, where you can enjoy a tasty breakfast. Absolutelly worth to recomend for holidays in Playa del Carmen
Sunset Fishermen is a relatively small friendly property right on the beach in the Playacar section of Playa Del Carmen. Nice pool with swim up bar and great outdoor casual daytime restaurant. Beautiful beach with easy ocean entry and smooth sand bottom. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of free parking.
Hotel was safe, clean, authentic, perfect location on 5th Ave. Staff was hospitable, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Lunata if you’re looking to stay out in Playa del Carmen town. Our room was facing the ave, noise was not terrible with our TV on low it helped drown out the noise from outside.
It's a пgreat place to stay in Playa Del Carmen. Location is nice, it's easy to access shops, cafes, bars, intertaiments and the beach of course. Notwithstanding there are some issues with access through th Reef Hotel, there is always another way to get it :) And Minerva is a perfect host!
I appreciated the excellent service provided by the hotel staff throughout my stay. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. I also liked the convenience of its location, being right on the beach line, and in the heart of Playa del Carmen.
if you visit Playa del Carmen don’t miss this unique place. A small well decorated hotel in the best area, the rooms are new and big and there is a nice balcony. We also enjoyed the pool at the roof. The host was amazing. we will come back for sure (:
Excellent breakfast and dinner that included in the price. The beach bungalows were very nice and clean. Staff was absolutely superb and location right on the beach, can't be beat.
Highly recommend Petit Lafitte hotel for your next stay.
The best hotel I stayed in Playa del Carmen. Very comfortable beds, good working A/C. And veryyyy helpful employees!!!! Also very safe and close to the beach (8 min walk?) and to all shops and cafe’s (1 min walk) but at the same time quiet.
This place is a great value for a beachfront hotel. It's basic but clean and everyone is friendly. There some things out of their control that made this stay uncomfortable but they did try to remedy the situation as best as they could.
It’s right on the beach with is amazing. Best location you can get but you have to leave the car/taxi 3 blocks away which is a nightmare after a long haul flight with 2 kids and suitcases. It’s run down but charming, staff are lovely.
Very interesting place - in the heart of Playa del carmen but fenced off
enough that in the evening we could sleep peacefully......hotel in a
botanical garden palms and trees around us.....super...very peaceful and
pleasant.
Beautiful position, clean and with a very wide room. I didn't hear any noise from the street, even if the hotel is very close to the main pedestrian street of Playa del Carmen. Beach is 10 minutes far from the hotel.
An amazing resort located right in the middle of one of the best beaches in the world. An excellent all inclusive hotel with a wide variety of cuisines and well thought out locations of alcohol and snack bars.
It's very modern, everything is new and works amazing 🤩, Close to the beach and the main street. It is strongly recommended. If I will go back to playa del Carmen, definitely I will come back at this hotel.
The location is good. It is right on the beach with a beach club. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and beach club left alot to be desired.
