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

10/10 Excellent

"10/10!"

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"I’ll start off by saying this resort has some of the best food I’ve ever had at any resort in multiple different countries. It’s that good. Every restaurant was amazing and making reservations was easy, the servers were attentive at all of them. Our rooms were gorgeous, each including a hot tub and a hammock on the balcony. Feel asleep there and it was everything. No smoking on the property except at the front or on the beach. The beach itself is a problem due to the sargassum. Very rocky where the resort is and not safe to swim in with the mess. However maybe in another season, and if they ever expand the beach, it would be a plus. Another thing is there isn’t much nightlife except on fifth avenue (which was a wonderful time) but requires you to spend money. Beware on fifth avenue as they charge fraudulent prices. Overall would come again as the pool, the drinks, the staff, the shows, and the pool parties were wonderful. Room was cleaned daily and 24 hour room service was appreciated. See you again Hyatt Vivid!"

La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik

6/10 Okay

"This is my second time staying at this hotel. My sister and I stayed last year 2025 and thought it was a great reasonable option in a PERFECT location. We enjoyed the breakfast which kept us pretty full for half the day and the market that pops up on the weekends across the street. The beach is only a 8-10 minute walk away and walmart, Soriano and several other supermarkets and stores are nearby. For me, this time felt a bit different. The WIFI wasn't the best and it's not an ideal location to work remotely from. If you're coming for vacation and to relax then this is not a big deal. I had to work for the first week of my trip (so a little different for me) and had to cancel class twice because the wifi just shut down. I did call the desk and they reset the modem and it came back on, but it just isn't the best. Like all hotels, some rooms are better than others. The first room that I was placed in during the first part of my 2026 stay had a leaking ac unit that caused a mini-flood in room. The second room was a bit better but the bathroom was so, so tiny that you literally can not fully open the door, because it touches sink. If I didn't have to use internet for work and could guarantee a good room I'd consider staying here again, but otherwise, it doesn't feel worth it to me anymore."

Hotel Hacienda Paradise

8/10 Good

"La ubicación y el precio es excelente. A solo pasos de la 5ta avenida, alrededor de la cuadra hay diversos lugares de comer, así como tiendas para suplir de cualquier artículo que se te haya quedado, alimentos agua embotellada, etc. En el mismo hotel puedes desayunar (la chica que prepara la comida es excelente) por un costo adicional, pero económico. La piscina esta abierta hasta por la noche, así que se puede usar al llegar de los tours. El servicio del personal excelente, pedí cambio de cubrecamas, cobertor para el frio en la noche, secador de cabello, toallas de piscina y todo me lo facilitaron rapidísimo. No es un lugar de lujos, pero tiene lo necesario para pasar la noche y algunas tardes que estuvimos, ya que todos los días teniamos tours fuera del hotel para conocer la zona. El sitio se siente seguro aún de noche. En par de ocasiones llegabamos tardes de los tours y caminamos sin problemas hasta el hotel."

Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen - Downtown House & Beach House

8/10 Good

"Good stay for a few days at this hotel in Playa del Carmen in early June to decompress after diving both on Cozumel and the cenotes south of Playa. Nice location in the middle of a lot of activity — shops, restaurants, bars, etc. But the room was quiet and not noisy at all. The hotel is a few blocks off the ocean but beach activites this time of year are undermined by seaweed infestation. (The seaweed problem is especially bad south of the Cancun hotel strip to Tulum sometimes beginning as early as April and sometimes lasting until October.) The service at the hotel was excellent. My room rate came with an American breakfast each day which was very good. The hotel has less than 100 rooms and has a boutique feel. There are two floors of rooms and an expansive rooftop with a pool, bar, and restaurant. The menu is limited but the food was fine. The pool service was very good. The fitness center is paltry but it wasn’t a problem for me b/c no one else was in there when I used it."
