Top Hotels Near Playa Xcalacoco in Playa del Carmen

"★★★★★ Five-Star Perfection in Playa del Carmen From the moment we arrived, this resort felt like it had mastered the art of hospitality. The location alone is a dream—steps from Fifth Avenue, where you can wander straight into the rhythm of local culture, color, music, and life. Morning strolls, evening adventures, spontaneous gelato stops… it’s all right there, effortlessly walkable and endlessly enjoyable. Dining here deserves a standing ovation. Every restaurant delivered exceptional meals, thoughtfully prepared and consistently delicious. Whether it was a casual bite or a sit-down dinner, the quality never missed a beat. The staff? Absolutely outstanding. From check-in to check-out, every interaction was warm, professional, and genuinely friendly. You can feel the pride they take in what they do, and it shows in every smile and every detail. The rooms were spotless and impeccably maintained—clean, comfortable, and clearly cared for. Everything at this resort is incredibly easy to access. Nothing takes more than two seconds to get to, and service is lightning-fast at every level. Convenience here isn’t an afterthought—it’s a promise kept. And a very special shout-out to the entertainment staff: you were phenomenal. The shows were fun, polished, and engaging, and the daily activities were run with energy and enthusiasm. They truly elevated the entire experience. Friendly, courteous, attentive—this team sets the gold standard! "

"Amazing entert"

"All the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. I loved my room where I could walk out into the pool anytime. I’ll be coming back again. "

"Our stay was excellent! We stayed in privilege which was well worth the upgrade! Our butler was Alan and he was amazing! He checked in with us regularly to make sure we didnt need anything, if we wanted to make a reservation at any of the restaurants or anything else we needed. He even went above and beyond finding something for me off the resort and bringing it to me! We will definitely be back. "

"We loved it. "

"My husband and I had an outstanding stay at the Viceroy in Riveria Maya...incredible service at the highest level, quiet, peaceful and was the perfect place to unwind. I have traveled around the world and have stayed at all of the top resorts, including the Four Seasons, Auberge, Ritz Carlton, The Peninsula, Ranch at Rock Creek, etc. I cannot say enough about the staff and how they made us feel. Their outlook on life and how they love this property is something that I have never witnessed before. Unfortunately they are closing end of April 2026 for a full remodel and will not be opening again until spring of 2027. I highly recommend getting there before they close!"
