First and the most important - pleasant and helpful personnel. They all were great! It feels like it's a family run hotel. It has such a vibe which is nice! The hotel is in the proper distance from 5th Ave. and beach. It's very close and far enough to not hear noise. Many small nice restaurants on opposite streets and shops like OXXO, Walmart, etc. Room had a very nice size and the bed was very comfortable. Very good WiFi.

FAQs about hotels in Playa del Carmen







It's Time to Playa!

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.

    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.

    This is a very bizzy touristic resort. If you want to go clubbing and drinking, this is the place to be. If you want to find the real Mexican vibe, you need to go and search further away to Valladolid and Merida.

    Playa del Carmen has great weather and great food, but it is crazy expensive. It's been a few years since my last trip to Mexico, but beers for 20-30 Pesos are long gone. Now it is more like 65-95. A bad margarita was 110 pesos and a good one was 190 or more. Feeding my family of 3 cost well over $100/day, and that's eating only 2 meals. A two tank dive for a certified diver was $145. A one hour snorkeling tour for 3 was $210. Also, it's full of hawkers and vendors and scams (the tip is often added to your bill at a restaurant and they try to hide that from you). Playa del Carmen had none of feel that Zijhuataneo did in 10 years ago. It's not a community. It's a place to go for tourists (from Mexico, the US, and Europe) to enjoy the beach and weather and for Mexicans to go to extract money from tourists.

    charming , the open roof allowed the occasional rain showers to come into the main part of the hotel. I felt immersed in mature .Posada Mariposa is located in a good central spot on 5th Ave. I could walk in many directions and find what I was looking for within 8 minutes. the beach Mamita was a short walk to the ocean. La Vaca Gaucho just steps away from Mariposa had the best steak dinner . La Vagabundo was so conviene . I could walk steps across the street to get my morning coffee or breakfast . and they open at 7 AM as I’m an early bird .

    Location is excellent right on 5th Avenue. Like an oasis amongst the chaos. The hotel is beautiful. The staff were lovely. Cleaners left little extra touches like a Happy New Year sign as we were there for 31st Dec. I was very worried about the noise from 5th Ave so I requested a room facing the garden. I can only recommend the hotel based on this experience as the noise wasn’t bad at all. Not sure how it would be if you had a room facing the street though.

    Fantastic location right in the middle of Playa del carmen, one block from the madness of the 5th street. Many restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance. From outside you feel like you're in a regular city but inside the hotel it makes you feel like you're in one of those bungalow villas in Asia. The pool area is very relaxing. We got to use the spa for 30 min and it was a nice relaxing experience. Overall the bedroom is very comfortable.

    Being an all inclusive, once booked you didn't have to think about anything else. Everything you wanted food or drink was continually available throughout the day. The resort itself was directly on the beach, so access was pretty simple. Lounge chairs were plentiful, so relaxing the day away was a breeze. The buffet had quite the range. We didn't try the fine dining restaurants, as the queues were to long, and it was impossible to book a night anyway.

    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.
