Everything! I absolutely *loved* this hotel - I was a bit apprehensive about staying in the middle of party-land, but this is an oasis of calm and comfort! I had a room facing the garden at the back and the auxiliary patio doors kept out the noise at night. Lovely touches in the room - drinking glasses upside down with tissue paper to keep the edges clean, shower curtain finished off with blue ribbon and flower insert, excellent wifi... just a superb room and hotel. You have to carry your cases up the stairs (but staff did insist on offering to bring them up for me) Breakfast is simple (then again I do eat a lot, so it's probably fine for everyone else) Clean bedding, comfy bed, excellent shower and fully stocked with toiletries. Superb staff too! (Thank you all for your kindness)

The location was great, the AC cold (we kept having to turn it off!) and the staff 12/10. The price was excellent, and having a mini fridge in the room really helps. We enjoyed the lobby coffee and cold water refill station. We only noticed the microwave tucked back in the dark corner on our last night, or else we would've used that to reheat our food from chedraui. We didn't use the spa at all, but have heard it's great.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at La Casa de la Playa Xcaret Hotel, and it exceeded perfection in every aspect. The view of the Caribbean Sea and the hotel’s signature swimming pool visible directly from the hotel room were breathtakingly beautiful. The hotel facilities are incredibly private, not only functioning excellently but also featuring impressive aesthetic details. The staff provided exceptional service as 24-hour butlers, always courteous and professional. The hotel offers exclusive transportation, allowing guests to fully enjoy everything Xcaret has to offer. Additionally, there is an impressive variety of high-quality restaurants to experience. Although the price is somewhat high, it is worth every penny.

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 lively and full of energy, but the city beach can get crowded, and some areas aren’t always clean due to dogs and their activities. I would suggest staying in Playacar or nearby for a cleaner, more private beach while still being close to the city.

Beaches aren't great, to be honest.

Beaches aren't great, to be honest. They look cool from the outside. The main beaches are full (1-10 December). The one by the resort had some big rocks and wasn't very good for kids. The water looks very nice, though.

My trip was all work related for 5-days. the hotel excelled as a base. The town/city of Playa del Carmen as I was taken to my various appointments, would not be my choice for a holiday - too noisy for me, but would be good for others.

Not a place to stay more than 2 nights in my opinion

Not a place to stay more than 2 nights in my opinion Lots of stalls selling tours. Though beach free to access north of the ferry terminal. There is only a narrow strip of sand in many areas due to beach resort hotels roping it off. Lots of restaurants, in the evening a few bars are so loud it makes the area unpleasant ( unless you like noise). Beaches are cleared of seaweed every morning Head south to Tulum or North to Poerto Morelos for better experience

It's a tourist trap.

It's a tourist trap. Everyone is trying to sell you something, even young children (it's non-stop haggling). The beach is brown and smelly from the enormous amount of seaweed. Cancun or Riveria Maya are much better choices.

The main Playa del Carmen beaches ( Mamitas Beach, Pelicanos Beach and the one next to the Ferries are very very narrow as the sea is rapidly eroding them; thus there is very little space to sit and wherever you are, you will have locals playing loud music on their portable music players. A really beautiful wide beach with a jungle backdrop is the Coco beach which is about 2 miles long and easily accessible. The other very good beach is Playacar beach which is also long and wide but has hotels between the palms, the whole way along.

This hotel has an excellent location, one street far from the Fifth avenue which is the main street in town, 3 streets far from the ADO stop (Playa del Carmen Alterna). Plenty of restaurants, bars and shops close by however, the rooms insulation is so good that we didn't get disturbed by the hectic weekend night life. There is a 7 Eleven and a fantastic place for breakfast at the corner. The room was very big and comfortable. Excellent and quiet aircon. Good WiFi. The staff was friendly and helpful.
