10/10 Excellent

When the only complaint you can have about a place is that they are almost TOO attentive, then you are really staying at a true 5 star place. Everything here is first class and it is truly a very different experience from the typical Playa all inclusive places. First off, the grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a lagoon suite and to sit out on the deck and hear a myriad of birds singing and watch fish, turtles, (and crocs!) swim by was really a great experience. Almost feels like being...

Hotel Lunata - Near Playa del Carmen Main Beach

Downtown Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Lunata is a gem situated on Playa del Carmen's charming 5th Avenue, and one block from Playa's main beach. Even though our room overlooked 5th Avenue, the triple-insulated balcony doors assured peace and quiet. The hotel is reminiscent of a hacienda, and has a lovely private - and very quiet - garden. The complimentary continental breakfast was tasty, with fresh fruit and Mexican pastries along with cereals, coffee, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Perhaps the best attribute of the...

Technically this wasn't a vacation, it was our honeymoon. I found this place on some Google list of top 10 most romantic honeymoon spots and it did not dissapoint. The grounds are beautiful. The staffs mission in life is to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. And it's not just for tips either, it's genuine. Whether you want to do nothing or everything, you will be pleased. We just got back and are already planning a return trip. The rooms are VERY private, no noise from other...

Stayed at the Zen resort. Great welcoming environment. Relaxing. pampered. Spa too expensive for what they offer, though. Excellent restaurants, although food somewhat scant in some of them (Piaff and, De Autor). Quality of drinks intermediate. Beaches resorts with excellent infinity pool and wet bar. Azul and Lucca best places to eat. Watch out at Piaf restaurant with sommelier trying to have you choose from an expensive list of wines not included in the "all inclusive". "All...

Petit Lafitte Beachfront Hotel & Bungalows

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

We were looking for a small non-resort hotel on the beach where we could relax peacefully, and Petit Lafitte is exactly that. As soon as we arrived at Lafitte we were welcomed home by the desk staff and concierge. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and made us feel comfortable, and were more than willing to help make our stay a very pleasant one. The beach is about 20 steps from the outdoor bar, with a number of chairs and thatch umbrellas for use by guests, and the pool was a comfortable...

This hotel is beautiful! Beds are comfortable and the rooms, views, and roof top pool are extraordinary. I loved the feel of the property and it provides a very personalized experience. I traveled alone from Seattle and even though I was alone (my bf broke up with me three days before this trip we were supposed to be on together), but I had the whole team at Mvngata (pronounced moon-gata) to help me heal from a devastating breakup. They loved on me and made me feel safe and full of joy. This...

Hotel Xcaret Mexico - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

All inclusive resort with amazing park free access. Everyday is fun and adventurous. I would rate this place to be the best family vacation spot in the world. Food is fantastic, the best food I have ever had in my life! Morning yoga class is rejuvenating. Beach is beautiful and the nature of the caves and rivers are breathtaking. Highly recommend to everyone. Don't forget to reserve the restaurants at Xin Gao dinners and Las Cuevas Sunday seafood buffet in advance.

Posada Sian Kaan Playa del Carmen - Wellness Oriented Hotel

Downtown Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at Posada Sian Kaan. Our stay was in April 2016. I have been traveling to the area for the past 10 years. I wasn’t looking for an extravagant or luxurious hotel. I just wanted a standard nice clean room near the beach, near 5th Avenue, near the ADO bus station, near the ferry to Cozumel and at a decent price. This hotel exceeded all my requirements, and believe me, I did my research. The hotel has four levels. The balcony overlooks the dining patio, small pool...
