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...

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...

Porto Playa Condo Hotel & Beachclub

Gonzalo Guerrero

10/10 Excellent

We had an incredible experience at Porto Playa. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome and comfortable. The room was gorgeous. We had the penthouse so it was HUGE with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. We had room to spread out and have our own space. The pool is gigantic and so nice to swim in and the hot tubs are also lovely. The staff was so friendly and gracious. It was a pretty slow week so we had the place mostly to ourselves and it was very quiet. I will definitely return.

We stayed for 6 wonderful nights in a 2BR penthouse. Staff were wonderful, A/C and WiFi worked great. The kitchen had just about everything you could need. Bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms very nice. The public spaces were always well maintained. We loved all of the furnished outdoor spaces, 2 on the main level and the amazing rooftop patio with a hot tub, BBQ, palapa and ocean views! Book a penthouse and you will not be disappointed....Word of warning though, there are a LOT...

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at Kinbe Hotel from Feb 17 - Feb 24 2021 and really enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect -- two minutes walking from the beach and right on the main street with all the bars and restaurants. The rooms are spacious -- both the bedroom and bathroom. The balconies are comfortable too, and the beach bag in the bedrooms is a nice touch. Enrique, Mikaela, Alex and the rest of the staff were all very hospitable and helpful with useful suggestions. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked...

La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik

Gonzalo Guerrero

10/10 Excellent

La Pasión is a gem ! It is an older hotel with only 60 rooms , but it is charming. Located fronting the Plaza Municipal, which on Friday-Sunday hosts a market with food and items. Breakfast at adjoining restaurant is available only to guests of the hotel who prepay, and is well worth the price. The restaurant opens later in the day to the public and features mostly Spanish food , not Mexican. 2 small pools in the lush courtyard, and 1 rooftop pool. If you are lucky perhaps Octavio the cat will...

Hotel La Semilla, Playa del Carmen, a Member of Design Hotels - Adults Only

Gonzalo Guerrero

10/10 Excellent

Hotel La Semilla is a 9-room hotel in a perfectly non-touristy section of Playa Del Carmen. You can easily walk to the main tourist drag, but you could also spend a week not even knowing it was there. Hotel La Semilla is surrounded by wonderful restaurants and just up the street from a beautiful beach. The hotel itself is decorated stunningly in vintage items hand sourced by the owners, who handle most of the day-to-day operations of the spot. They do get help from Brito, who is an absolutely...

Great hotel that is close to beach, shopping and wonderful restaurants. The staff is amazing! The young ladies at the front desk, Jennifer and Rachel, were extremely helpful and accommodating. The manager, Offner, could not be nicer!!! Always stopped to chat with us and make suggestions about where to eat and what to do. We had a rough start to our trip (nothing to do with the hotel) but he helped us to rectify the issues. As I said, amazing staff!!! The hotel is small but wonderful. Our room...
