Hotel Lunata - Near Playa del Carmen Main Beach

Downtown Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Lunata is a gem situated on Playa del Carmen's charming 5th Avenue, and one block from Playa's main beach. Even though our room overlooked 5th Avenue, the triple-insulated balcony doors assured peace and quiet. The hotel is reminiscent of a hacienda, and has a lovely private - and very quiet - garden. The complimentary continental breakfast was tasty, with fresh fruit and Mexican pastries along with cereals, coffee, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Perhaps the best attribute of the...

Posada Sian Kaan Playa del Carmen - Wellness Oriented Hotel

Downtown Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at Posada Sian Kaan. Our stay was in April 2016. I have been traveling to the area for the past 10 years. I wasn’t looking for an extravagant or luxurious hotel. I just wanted a standard nice clean room near the beach, near 5th Avenue, near the ADO bus station, near the ferry to Cozumel and at a decent price. This hotel exceeded all my requirements, and believe me, I did my research. The hotel has four levels. The balcony overlooks the dining patio, small pool...

A poolside area with lounge chairs and umbrellas, overlooking a beach with palm trees and the ocean.

Rosewood Mayakoba

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

When the only complaint you can have about a place is that they are almost TOO attentive, then you are really staying at a true 5 star place. Everything here is first class and it is truly a very different experience from the typical Playa all inclusive places. First off, the grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a lagoon suite and to sit out on the deck and hear a myriad of birds singing and watch fish, turtles, (and crocs!) swim by was really a great experience. Almost feels like being...

Grand Velas Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

Stayed at the Zen resort. Great welcoming environment. Relaxing. pampered. Spa too expensive for what they offer, though. Excellent restaurants, although food somewhat scant in some of them (Piaff and, De Autor). Quality of drinks intermediate. Beaches resorts with excellent infinity pool and wet bar. Azul and Lucca best places to eat. Watch out at Piaf restaurant with sommelier trying to have you choose from an expensive list of wines not included in the "all inclusive". "All...

10/10 Excellent

Technically this wasn't a vacation, it was our honeymoon. I found this place on some Google list of top 10 most romantic honeymoon spots and it did not dissapoint. The grounds are beautiful. The staffs mission in life is to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. And it's not just for tips either, it's genuine. Whether you want to do nothing or everything, you will be pleased. We just got back and are already planning a return trip. The rooms are VERY private, no noise from other...

La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik

Gonzalo Guerrero

10/10 Excellent

La Pasión is a gem ! It is an older hotel with only 60 rooms , but it is charming. Located fronting the Plaza Municipal, which on Friday-Sunday hosts a market with food and items. Breakfast at adjoining restaurant is available only to guests of the hotel who prepay, and is well worth the price. The restaurant opens later in the day to the public and features mostly Spanish food , not Mexican. 2 small pools in the lush courtyard, and 1 rooftop pool. If you are lucky perhaps Octavio the cat will...

Hotel Lunasol

Downtown Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

This is the really nice small hotel, quiet and comfortable. I spent 10 days there with my wife and 6 years old daughter. We liked the inner yard with swimming pool and enough shade from trees where we found a shelter from afternoon sun. And, of course, the kitchen near the pool is a very convenient thing if you like to save money and cook something yourself or just drink some tea in the evening. The hotel is located in 5-7 minutes walking distance from the Avenida 5 and the beach. I can highly...

Petit Lafitte Beachfront Hotel & Bungalows

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

We were looking for a small non-resort hotel on the beach where we could relax peacefully, and Petit Lafitte is exactly that. As soon as we arrived at Lafitte we were welcomed home by the desk staff and concierge. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and made us feel comfortable, and were more than willing to help make our stay a very pleasant one. The beach is about 20 steps from the outdoor bar, with a number of chairs and thatch umbrellas for use by guests, and the pool was a comfortable...
