Top Downtown Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great but the ocean and the beach was just a shallow patch of water."

El Taj Oceanfront & Beachside Condo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was amazing! Really spacious unit. It really feels more like an apartment than a regular hotel. Ours came equipped with an electric stove, microwave, coffee machine, etc. It also came with a water dispenser! This eliminated our worries about finding water and constantly going to the store and grabbing some. The front desk was also super helpful, and they provided beach umbrellas for us to use free of charge as long as we brought it back. The hotel itself was beautiful, and it was very close to the lively 5th avenue, but I felt like we were far enough to be able to enjoy a quiet sleep at night. We were only a 12 minute walk from the beautiful playa mamitas, which was sargassum free when we went."
