This hacienda-style hotel is located on Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue, one block from the beach. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi in every guest room.

Guests can explore the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Tulum and Coba. The Lunata Hotel is within a short walk of the boutiques, shops and nightlife of the trendy Fifth Avenue. Perfect, centrally located and yet quiet. The entire staff was really nice and helpful. Would love to come back

Located right on the beach, Sueños Tulum offers guests an outdoor swimming pool, spa treatments, yoga classes and free Wi-Fi. This hotel is only a 10-minute drive from the Mayan ruins.

The tropical-style suites at this beachfront hotel feature a balcony with sea views, a fan and private bathrooms with a shower, toilet and free toiletries. The hotel is gorgeous and a peaceful gem amongst the really busy Tulum. Great rooms with sea view and nice beach access incl lounge chairs and sun beds. We had a very relaxing and recharging week here. The staff is exceptionally friendly, personable and accommodating. They were incredible with recommendations for excursions and provided lots of help to prepare my proposal to my now fiancée. An unforgettable week at Sueños.

Located on the coast of Xcalacoco Beach 10 minutes outside of Playa del Carmen, this luxury resort and spa situated in the tropical rainforest features a restaurant.

The villas at Viceroy Riviera Maya are furnished with a private kidney-shaped pool and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Free Wi-Fi is provided and room service is available. While planning a winter escape, I focused more on the type of resort rather than location or beach. I wanted to feel pampered, zen and with nature. I had stayed at Viceroy hotels in the US before and always had a good experience, so I was happy to find this one with only 40 or so rooms and the type of setting I was seeking. The care the staff took was unparalleled to any other experience we’ve had. They looked after us, brought us treats, knew our preferences and were always so accommodating. The massage was the best we ever experienced. The vibe of the common areas is low key; no loud music or obnoxious behavior, the food was excellent. The suites are so different from your average resort, the bed was huge and comfortable, each room has an outdoor shower and plunge pool. The rain head showers were a delight with excellent pressure. I can’t say enough about this wonderful place (obviously). If you’re seeking an out-of-the-ordinary adult experience to relax and be pampered, this is the place.

Attractively situated in the centre of Tulum, XscapeTulum features air-conditioned rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a garden. This 4-star hotel offers a shared lounge and room service. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The room was super clean and everything was fresh. Great water pressure and just steps from the pool. The grounds were immaculate with beautiful tropical plants and setting. The front desk clerk, Jesus, was super helpful and was a native Spanish speaker and also spoke perfect English. Just looking for a roof over my head and was pleasantly surprised by the surroundings. I will be staying there on any subsequent stays.

Featuring Mexican-style décor, Hotel Casa Colibri is a sea-front boutique hotel located in the heart of Playa del Carmen. The city's famous 5th avenue, world-known for its restaurants, bars, discotheques and shopping areas are only one block away. Breakfast is amazing! The staff is super friendly and accommodating, specially Hector! The room was spacious and clean, comfy beds and nice balcony with a hammock. This is not related to the hotel but to climate change, the beach was almost gone at the time of our visit, but the staff from Lido was super helpful and re-arranged the tables and sun beds accordingly.

This oceanfront hotel in Playa del Carmen is located directly on the beach, one block from the famous Fifth Avenue entertainment area. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and free Wi-Fi.

Every guest room at the Hotel Pelicano Inn Playa del Carmen features a private bathroom and air conditioning. Some rooms provide a view of the ocean. Lovely accomodation for a beach getaway. For a very busy and noisy town. You felt very sheltered from it. Access via a corridor through from the street. The only noise that was annoying was doof doof music played by competing establishments in the morning in particular, while utilising the beach chairs. The other rooms isn't immediately noticeable due to the design. It was lovely. Nice breakfasts, massages and beach location in the very centre of Player Del Carmen.
