best Playa Del Carmen Hotels for 2024
If you’re planning a trip to Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya and searching for a great hotel, you may want to consider one of our three favorite Playa Del Carmen hotels within walking distance of all that Playa del Carmen has to offer!
All are located in town and are all-inclusive resorts! For us, this is a recipe for an amazing vacation! We can lounge by the pool or beach during the day and explore the town in the evening or anytime. It’s the best of both worlds to have everything you want at your resort and so much adventure right outside!
Many people vacation in Playa del Carmen and stay far enough away from town that they don’t get to experience this little jewel of a Mexican resort town. Today, we’ll take a closer look at these three Playa del Carmen hotels.
The Wyndham Alltra
Formerly Panama Jack’s, this hotel in Playa del Carmen is modern and stylish. Situated in a great central location on Av Constituyentes in the heart of Playa del Carmen’s lively downtown area, just 2 blocks to 5th Avenue!
The hotel features a lively resort-style pool, a quiet rooftop pool (with the most amazing little sushi restaurant!!), a fitness center, spa services, and 2 specialty restaurants serving delicious Mexican and Italian cuisine. The Italian restaurant is located at the edge of the resort and feels like you’re eating in a high-end Playa del Carmen streetside restaurant. The open-air Mexican restaurant was great too! You can even try Chapulines (fried Mexican grasshoppers) if you’re adventurous.
The rooms are very spacious, tastefully decorated, and with all the necessary amenities. Large bathrooms. Good wifi. Most of the rooms also feature a private terrace with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea or lively city views.
Hilton Playa Del Carmen
This all-inclusive resort is a luxurious beachfront hotel located just across the street from the Wyndham Alltra. The Hilton takes everything we love about the Wyndham and bumps it 5 levels higher!
This property features multiple restaurants and bars (including a swim-up bar!), 2 pools, a spa, direct beach access, and a fitness center.
This is a large resort and we go into more detail in our youtube video below. Still, our highlights are the unbelievable craft cocktails, the cute coffee shop, and the incredible food. Really everything was amazing for an all-inclusive. The beautiful beach, the nightly entertainment, and the overall upscale vibe!
The Reef 28 Playa del carmen hotel
Look no further for the perfect romantic getaway! The Reef 28 is a chic and stylish boutique hotel conveniently located in the city center and just a few steps from Playa del Carmen’s famous Fifth Avenue.
It’s close to 2 of our favorite spots! Mamitas Beach Club is 2 blocks away and a few blocks towards 5th is one of our favorite places for live music nightly, The Caymen Bar. Both are a must on your to-do list!
The Reef 28 features a rooftop pool with a chill vibe and excellent wait service, a fitness center, several restaurants, and clean rooms. We loved the breakfast buffet, the wings and burgers at lunch were delicious. The rooftop was fun during the day and at night!
You can also visit their sister property in Playacar to see a different side of Playa del Carmen.
