We visited in Jan 2020 and had the best time. Amazing food, staff and location. Can't wait to go back.
2 Quinta Margarita Boho Chic Hotel



images
This boutique hotel was everything it said it was and more. Clean, pretty rooms, simple continental breakfast, incredible staff (very friendly and helpful) and GREAT location right in the heart of downtown Playa Del Carmen and close to great restaurants. Would stay here again. Great value!
3 The Reef 28

Place is amazing and it is so clean. Prices were good and I highly recommend the all inclusive it was $50/night per person all you can eat and drink all day. The rooftop is the best part. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t really have “3” restaurants it’s like two rooms with different menu options all out of the same kitchen. The one is Italian food which is open every other night, other is Mexican open every night and the last is Asian open opposite from Italian food. The menu is Small and the food was mediocre. The breakfast is very good though. The food on the rooftop is amazing but be prepared to wait like an hour or two for food so order a lot. The people who work there are very accommodating and friendly. The service is top notch! Very close walk to the beach. I recommend not leaving the resorts too much as it can be dangerous and a lot of hassle walking around having people trying to sell one stuff. Don’t expect any sleep if you’re facing the street there is a bar downstairs that blasts music so loud the door shakes until all hours of the night.
4 Soul Beach Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa

Great place to stay and very friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.
5 Be Playa

Fantastic hotel. Service was excellent and Yaun was very helpful, friendly, and professional. The room was very clean and spacious and the bathroom was huge. The room had a huge bathtub with jets like a jacuzzi. The location was terrific, walking distance from numerous restaurants and stores. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop pool, lounge, and bar. The hotel also has a sushi bar/ restaurant on the first floor. The style/atmosphere of the hotel combines a retro and classic style with a hipster vibe. The low lighting of the hotel gives it a very romantic and intimate feel. The hotel is 4 stories high. There is street parking but you have to pay. This is also one of the few hotels in the town that is family/kid-friendly, as many of the hotels are adults only. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay. I highly recommend.
7 SOHO PLAYA Hotel



images
Really enjoyed my stay here. Clean facilities, nice pool and friendly staff.
8 Aventura Mexicana Hotel



images
A very pretty hotel, 1 street away from the main touristy 5th avenue. Great swimming pool, nice personnel, a lot of green and subtle lighting in the evening. The breakfast is very simple though and the same each day, pillows are to be changed urgently. But definitely recommend to stay in Aventura Mexicana if you like peace, a bit of comfort while being close to the main tourist spots.
9 Hotel La Semilla



images
I cannot say enough nice things about this special little gem in Playa del Carmen. First, the hotel staff (specifically Brito & Luis) go out of their way to help you with anything and everything. Aside from making your stay more enjoyable, they were friends to have great conversations with during the trip. The property is quaint, lush with jungle landscape, and decorated with unique vintage pieces. The breakfast every morning was lovely. The street that the hotel sits on is the most charming street in all of Playa del Carmen in my opinion. I will be coming back and certainly staying at Hotel La Semilla again. Thank you for everything!!
10 Reina Roja Hotel



images
Strange hotel. However the rooftop swimming pool is great. Food is average. Place is nice and clean.
11 Hotel Morgana



images
I stayed here part of my time here and part of the time at an all inclusive resort and preferred the time at Hotel Morgana to the fancy resort.
Staying here I felt like royalty - the service is impeccable and they have excellent recommendations of what to do in the area. The rooms are stylish and comfortable and the rooftop pool was great to relax away from the crowds.
I had a rental car and they were able to organize to help me find a safe street parking spot.
You are walking distance to the beach and it works well as a base to explore the region.. We enjoyed driving to many of the Cenotes (fresh water crystal clear swimming areas).
We had an issue with the 1st room ( it was a little small for our needs) and they were able to re-assign us without any hassle.
The staff couldn't have been any more helpful. Can you have a great vacation in the middle of Covid-19? If you stay at Hotel Morgana to en the answer is a resounding yes.
12 Mahekal Beach Resort



images
Resort is great hammock set up right in front of your door. I'd recommend ocean front if you can. You get a stand alone room and more space between your neighbors. We also went with breakfast and lunch or dinner included the food was great! Not a buffet, full course individually prepared meals.
One down side is there is not parking on-site. You have to park in the metered parking. It's only 10 pesos an hour from 10-10, but its only 6 hours maximum at a time so you have to keep going out to feed the meter twice a day.
13 Bloom! exclusive boutique b&b



images
Amazing experience, lovely host, wonderful property.
I stayed at Bloom for a week and truly couldn’t have been better taken care of. The rooms are well appointed and have excellent amenities, with tasteful touches. I particularly liked that the water is drinkable thanks to a whole-hotel filtering system.
You'll receive a truly warm welcome at Bloom, I felt cared for and that nothing was too much trouble at any point during my stay. The in-room guidebook shows this level of care - going far beyond recommendations on where to visit nearby, and showing
I stayed during COVID, and they were very good about masks and sanitation, which I appreciated greatly.
The breakfast is beyond amazing - I can't say enough good things about it. I've gone as far as to purchase some of the chefs tools simply to try and recreate some of what was made! Having had time to dine at Pujol and Quintonil recently, I can say the breakfasts exceeded that experience in many ways. Thoughtfully prepared, tastefully presented, exquisitely fresh, and delicious!
I would happily stay here any time I am in town, and would (and have!) recommended it to friends and family planning to come.
14 Caribbean Paradise Boutique Hotel



images
Very comfy and clean room! Reception was friendly and helpful. The jacuzzi didn't work properly and honestly wasn't really worth it. Would just go for a simple room and you'll be very happy.
15 La Mar Hotel Boutique



images
First impression was bad as you had to climb stairs to get to the hotel. No elevator. Inside rooms look decent like a studio apartment with huge full size refrigerator stove, microwave, mixer, coffee maker, tv etc. some essential utensils. Rooms are spacious with kitchen and good size bathroom. They provide separate towels for beach. Overall good for the price you pay. It’s cheap hotel and good for price.
16 Serenity Hotel Boutique



images
Great hotel I would definitely stay at again. Staff were exceptional.
Great location, just around the corner from 5th Avenue shopping and restaurants and just a bit further down the beach.
Pool area was great, lots of sunbeds with towels. Rooms were clean and the beds were super comfy.
The free breakfast was anything spectacular but filled the spot.
17 Porto Playa Condo Hotel & Beachclub



images
One of the best locations in playa del Carmen. Near every thing you want from beach to party this is a very well thought out complex. Large condos great pool and 24 hour service. Very safe with security all the time. Can't go wrong
18 The Green Village Eco Boutique Hotel



images
A great hotel with good vibes and a lovely staff. I stayed here for a month. It's just a walking distance to all the cafes, bars and restaurants, but still a bit away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Good rates especially for long term renters. I highlight recommend this hotel to open-minded travelers and also for those who want to stay a little bit longer in Playa del Carmen and therefore search for a place which feels a little bit like a home.
19 Acanto Hotel Playa del Carmen, Trademark Collection by Wyndham



images
A true sanctuary in the heart of PDC. Serenity, amazing staff, and the location is unbeatable. Long or short stays, this boutique property is all you need. Clean, comfortable and a villa feel.
20 IT Hotel Playa

Great service. We seitched rooms after the first one had some light and mpise coming in
The woman at the reception was super nice and helpful.
We like this place, quiet and good located, just few steps from beach or 5th avenue.
