Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"The location was absolutely perfect — just steps from a beautiful stretch of beach and an easy walk into the city where all the shops, bars, and nightlife are. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The hotel itself is modern, chic, and welcoming. Our room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The only small downside was the courtesy beach bags; despite asking several times, we didn’t receive them until the day before departure. The restaurant options were great, and even with two venues closed, we still enjoyed fantastic meals throughout our stay. Overall, the resort exceeded my expectations. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning."

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Poor check-in process, it's more of a scare than a welcome. Check-in staff was discussing all the penalities I incure Lossing a bunch of little Thi GS than welcoming the guest. Didn't even care to show the room or allow us to choose. Otherwise everything was good."

Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We will be back"

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay at Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen. For anyone considering this resort here is basic information: less than 3 minute walk to 5th Ave, property grounds is clean, lush with trees, flowers, plants, staff on all levels were warm / welcoming and the room suite and spa were clean."

Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel esta increible, el personal muy amable siempre atentos a la necesidades de los huespedes. La comida estuvo excelente, el cuarto y el hotel en general siempre estaba limpio y el ambiente muy tranquilo y relajado. Lo recomiendo a el 100%."

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This was our second trip to this hotel! We liked it but the food could have been e been better! The service was outstanding!! The area was great!!"

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Water Park All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Love this place if you’re not looking for luxury. It has value though. Was disappointed that I saw an ad that they still had free airport shuttles. That’s not the case anymore. Watch out for mosquitos while in the tree areas and avoid restaurant seating near the trees. Beach is clean and free of sargassum but not great to swim in. Love the adult pool in the select club. Highly recommend booking a snorkeling trip with Scuba Libre on the beach at Sandos. So much fun to swim with Maria the turtle in the wild. I’ve booked diving trips with them too in past visits. I only ate from the buffet as I was a solo traveler for a 4 day stay and love that the food changes somewhat day to day. Al a carte dining has been fantastic in the past too. I would also recommend spending a little more and booking the spa with hydrotherapy, massage and mini facial. My poor old dried up Canadian skin feels 20 years younger!"
