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.

    Playa Del Carmen is a great place: fancy Fifth Ave with amazing restaurants and beautiful and expensive shoppings but also local and national with small retailers. There is even WalMart!! It’s home of CocoBongo and it’s safe for you to walk all over! I like to stay at Playacar and it is a short bike ride from Playa Del Carmen our a taxi ride.

    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.

    Playa del Carmen had some beautiful areas. But also some very poor areas. The excaret parks are amazing. The Playacar beach was awesome. The people there are awfully pushy and will rip you off. If you aren’t careful. The transportation system is amazing.

    Went into town one afternoon and walked 5th Avenue a few hours. Lots of shops and eat/drink places. Beach in town was unimpressive. Many street vendors and hawkers, not too bothersome. Took a cab each way, about $20 plus tip. Some small, cozy hotels right in the midst of things if you wanted to get the real feel of the town, but we liked the resort.

    A lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings, very tranquil despite being close to the centre of Playa Del Carmen ( 5th Ave). Loads of bars & restaurants close by with good food. We had half board, the food was delicious with many Mayan specialities & we didn’t have to queue for food unlike many of the much larger hotels with all inclusive deals. The staff were very attentive & friendly & also helped us organise a taxi to the airport within minutes when our prepaid Booking.com arranged transfer didn’t turn up!

    This small hotel in Playa del Carmen offers something a lot of other hotels do not offer: an atmosphere ! We enjoyed a bungalow on the beach (though without a view to the ocean). The bar was a bit empty in the evening due to some wind ... Great, we had it all for ourselves with a splendid view on the ocean. The restaurant offers 2 menus + buffet + special choices for children every evening. Fine cooking that we enjoyed 2 nights.

    Hotel is located in a nice and quiet area at the end of 5th Avenue (the main tourist strip that runs through Playa Del Carmen). It has a cool roof top with a cafe (best guacamole I've had in Mexico so far), sun beds and a pool. Great spot to relax and drink some beers (BYO, they don't sell alcohol). The room was spacious but very basic (pretty much a concrete box). Amazing shower pressure. Very helpful staff.

Than on 5th Ave. You are not harassed to buy things here. It has close access to the highway which makes it easy to get to dive sites. It is very good value for the money.
