Sofía by Bunik

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms with cold air conditioning and the pool is amazing. "

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"✅ THE GOOD The property was spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, and while the shower pressure was just okay, we had no complaints about the accommodations. The evening shows were entertaining and a nice way to wind down. The drinks were fine, nothing special. The Italian restaurant was by far our favourite. The location is a major plus. You're just a short walk from 5th Avenue, which is vibrant and perfect for an evening stroll. ❌ THE NOT-SO-GOOD The food at the main buffet and most restaurants left something to be desired. The menu caters heavily to an American palate, which may or may not suit you. The Italian restaurant was the clear exception. The biggest thing to know before booking: THERE IS NO BEACH. The waterfront is rocky, and if a sandy beach is on your must-have list, look elsewhere. Pool chairs are another frustration. Guests stake their claim before 8am, and the staff does nothing to enforce a fair-use policy. Good luck getting a lounger if you sleep in. The resort's vibe feels more like a retirement community. If you're looking for a lively, energetic resort vibe, this likely isn't your spot. Bottom line: Great if you want a clean, relaxed base near 5th Avenue. Not great if you want a beach, a variety of delicious food, or a more dynamic atmosphere."

Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The food and drinks were excellent! The room was fantastic but did have plumbing problems which staff attended very quickly! Overall we loved our stay and would go back but were presented with charges that exceeded what Expedia had stated we woyld have to pay for activity fees and taxes. Our expedia bill stated we would be paying 440$ CAD Upon arrival but the price we were given by the hotel was 568$ USD. With conversion was almost double what we were told! Hotel stated it was an Expedia problem but have not yet spoken to Expedia about the issue yet! We will see! Anyhow it was an amazing time and do highly recommend this resort! "

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"The pool was amazing. The property was beautiful. However, the customer service was terrible. Everyone seemed unhappy, and in a rush. There were a couple of great waiters in the buffet and the Asian bistro, however, I did wind up getting food poisoning from the bistro."

La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik

10/10 Excellent

"This was quite an excellent hotel somewhat walkable from the main district in playa del Carmen.(15- 20 mins )The rooms were pretty neat, with good breakfast and the staff were super friendly along with great recommendations for food as well as tourist attractions nearby. They also had safe underground parking for the residents which was super convenient too and overall I’d highly suggest this place given the value for money , amenities on site as well as the super friendly staff."
