Top Downtown Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

The Reef 28 Hotel & Spa - Luxury Adults Only - All Suites

8/10 Good

"Very good hotel and location to stay at. Is right up the street from Cocoa Beach. I would definitely go back. The food was good as well. Only thing I didn’t like was they try too hard on trying to get you to go see some presentation. Sounded more like a time share thing. I was only there for a weekend. Wish I had one more day. But I would give it a 9 out of 10."

Quinta Margarita, Boho Chic Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the bed and hotel facilities were all quite comfortable and satisfactory. The only things that were a little disappointing were the noise from the club across the street and the fact that there wasn’t enough hot water for the shower. Other than that, considering the price, the location and cleanliness were excellent. I would definitely give this place 100 out of 100! 😊 If I visit the area again, I would definitely stay here again. Overall, I had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay! 👍"

Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Devossion should be at the top of your list for resorts in Playa. Chill vibe with an upper scale menus, service and rooms. The spa is something you should do. It rejuvenates you. No time share people trying to talk to you just really nice, hard working members on the Devossion team. The beds are incredibly comfortable to go a long with a fantastic room service menu. Go stay there, you will not regret it."

La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik

8/10 Good

"Very nice location close almost to everything in pdc. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean but not sparking clean and new. The hotel basically is run down and not in best shape. Internet was really good and fast to upload and download. Generally is ok. the price was unbeatable. By the way has thees pools and all of them crystal clear."
