Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa

2/10 Terrible

"The smell from the seaweed MADE US SICK! We were unable to stay and had to leave after just one night. We tried to get a refund for the unused nights we paid for but they refused. WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD!"

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."

Playa Palms Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. The air conditioning worked great and kept the room cool throughout our stay. The property was peaceful, well cared for, and conveniently located. We truly enjoyed our visit and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway! 🌴☀️😊"

10/10 Excellent

"Bonjour, Nous étions un peu sceptique en raison du bas prix que nous avons payé. Cependant, nous avons été extrêmement surpris. Condo très propre avec nettoyage quotidien Eau chaude Air climatisée Belle piscine sur le toît. Nous avons adoré notre 12 jours à cet endroit. Très bien situé, près de tout! Nous y retournerons! Merci beaucoup!"

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property the vibes were both relaxing yet very fun they always had activities going on at the pool very diverse music like for me in Latina I love bad bunny but they still played American classics for the Americans who honestly 95% of the hotel is white American older crowd couples or groups so we didn’t make many friends this trip a note to keep in mind if you want a poolside cabana those are an extra charge, if you want premium tequila ex:don julio you have to get a cabana to get a full bottle but rental wise for the day 8am-6pm it it’s worth it when most of the activities are at the pool that day and to 5th Ave is very close that’s the best part because you really don’t have to leave at all but to be honest unless it’s à reccomend we place the places we went to were not worth it on 5th Ave get your moneys worth at the hotel because everything was great including room service food which can be hit or miss but this is a great place for relaxation and fun not much partying"

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Pros- great location two blocks from 5th Ave, food was good and gorgeous hotel. Rooms are well appointed and lots of room. Staff was nice but not always helpful with requests. Cons: elevators out for a while now so stairs the entire trip. We asked for more pillows didn’t get them, asked for AC to be turned down took multiple calls to get it done. Needed to break some American bills down and they said they could but nobody would when we went to the person we were directed to. Hotel beach over run with massive amounts of seaweed that smelled horrible through resort. ( not hotels fault) just a note."
