Holiday Inn Express & Suites Playa Del Carmen by IHG

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Close to 5th Avenue. Breakfast included was a plus."

Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is a really lovely hotel and we had a great relaxing holiday. The staff are all so nice and really helpful. The pools are lovely and the food is also good which isn’t always the case with all inclusive. The only issue was that there were water problems in the town and water was cut out for a good few hours on 2 of the days. Obviously this is not the fault of the hotel but they handled badly by not telling people and having them à heads up. There were no toilets for 4 hours and if they had been more proactive then people could make alternative plans. Other than that I would go back anytime!"

Hotel Indigo Playa Del Carmen by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is clean, modern, and in a great location—close to most tour shuttle pickup points (within a 5-minute walk) while still being quiet. The room was spacious. The rooftop pool is a nice bonus, the breakfast was good, and the dining staff were friendly. There are a few areas that need improvement. Check-in was very slow. We waited about 30 minutes, and although the front desk staff knew we had been waiting, they helped guests who cut in line first. We were almost late for our tour. The hotel flyer mentioned a grab-and-go breakfast for early tours, but when we asked about it, we were simply told to buy an energy bar from the snack shop. We also booked for a family of three, but the room was prepared with only one set of towels. Additional towels were delivered after we requested but no hand towels were provided. Overall, this is a comfortable hotel with an excellent location, but the front desk service could be improved."
