Antera Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! The linens towels and amenities were top quality everything was very clean and well designed the underground parking takes away all of the issues with parking around the city. Our only issues were the hot tub wasn’t hot and the apartment suite needed more dishes. The staff was lovely and helpful. We would definitely stay again. "

Playa Palms Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a beautiful view to wake up to every morning from our room! Our room is nicely furnished with two burners and a refrigerator/freezer and the right amount of dishes, silverware etc. Carlos and all staff are so welcoming and helpful! The beach has plenty of chairs with sun or shade. We have stayed here many times through the years and will return! Highly recommend! "

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very nice, clean and spacious. The food was very good at the buffet and the restaurants, especially Bella, the Italian restaurant. The staff was all very nice and helpful especially Aurelio (sp?) at the pool bar, and also Edulardo (sp?) at the beach bar. Aurelio worked so very hard at a crowded bar and was always so prompt and friendly. The drinks were excellent...very well mixed and with very good ingredients. The resort does not have much sandy beach area (not their fault), but other than that this was a really nice resort that we would be happy to visit again."
