The hotel itself is great. The beach is pretty much missing to no fault of the hotel. The pool is pretty, but there is no seating to be by it unless you have a lower level room. Not a big deal, but with the lack of beach it would have been nice. The mornings here were very loud. The staff would come in early in the morning and have loud conversations in the courtyard which echoed a lot.
The room was lovely as was the patio. It’s a great place to stay if you plan on being out and about.
We came to Playa Palms for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience! The location 8s geeat, and despite being surrounded by bars, we couldn't hear a single thing at night. The beach is beautiful! We are already planning our next visit.
Location directly on the beach and walking distance to shops/ restaurants and a big enough room for my family of 5/ 3 of them teenagers. The family suite had a dining room/ living room space/ king bed for the parents and a sunken bedroom with 2 queen beds/ separated by a door so I didn’t have listen to them talk/ wind down. Such a great place to come back to at the end of the day and have a glass of wine on the beach listening to waves roll in.
Great hotel with very friendly staff and clean large rooms. Street parking wasn’t as difficult as I thought / though you can only pay 6 hours at a time.
The pool is small - but the common area is lush and nice.
We stay here with friends for 3 days. The place is beautiful,room is clean, close to everything and the stuff are so nice. The only thing is hard is to get coins for parking so you better get ready for that lol. But the over all experience is wonderful 👌
Property is right on the water. Nice day beds on the waters edge. Room Balcony overlooking the pool out to the waters edge.
Has a very authentic feel about the property. Close to everything.
The property looks just like the oics. We were on the main level, cute patio with table 2 chairs qnd a hammock. If you leave the doorwall cracked you can hear the ocean waves from bed. It was a comfortable room with everything we needed. We were steps from the beach, it was small but plenty of loungers. The fishing boats park out front, it was fun watching to see if they brought in a catch. It was not really water you want to swim in, but the pool ru s right between the rooms and there is a public beach a very short walkind distance away. You could order breakfast the day before and they will bring it to your oatio. Very good and alot of food for the money. The restaurant next door walks over to the beach during the day with menus and will deliver your food and drinks. Prices reasonable and the best food. Loved the mixed ceviche' They also cooked up a plate if the fresh catch for us they we saw the fisherman bring in. The hotel is boutique style, quiet and relaxing, but when you walk one block behind it is a party! Music, restaurants, shopping. We also liked " party taco" on the street behind the hotel. Open late night and yummy tacos and burritos made fresh. Carlo the hotel concierge was also so helpful and knowledgeable. We had an absolutely wonderful time!! Would highly recommend
Property was a small boutique hotel. We had a presidential suite, well worth the upgrade. The beach is very small, so If you are beach going, like we are you will have to walk down a few blocks to a public beach. That beach is very nice.The price was right on the mark for this hotel. The location is great as far as being waterfront and very close to the main shopping and dining street in playa del Carmen.
I last stayed at Playa Palms quite a few years ago and I was pleasantly surprised that the friendliness of staff and conditions of the hotel still stayed the same.
Excellent…
Considering it is close to nightclubs and the busy 5ta avenida the rooms are very quiet.
As a solo traveler I felt safe and found everything conveniently located, very walkable.
I would definitely return to this hotel.
Very nice friendly people working here. The nite light outside the office i could have done without as it lit up our room at night. I was under the impression that we were seafront. Like a rock wall docking area since beach area was washed away. Not their fault but not was i was expecting. Overall very nice and already planning on returning next year
The private beach for the property has washed almost completely away. Pictures of hotel need to be updated. There's about 20ft of sand from the end of the deck. Very disappointing on that front. Aside from that, it was a nice place. Pretty, quiet, security at the door on the overnights. Not much in terms of food or drink though. Besides a small breakfast, you have to leave the hotel for everything. No kitchen or bar.
Exceptional place to stay located close to groceries, kitchenette offset the escalating hyperinflation around playa del carmen. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Their pool and landscaping very stylish and unique. We unfortunately lost our key and were charged 25$ in which unfortunately would not be be something I would do in my business, mistakes have to be made to learn. Swim able beach is a short 5 minute walk and they do have lawn chairs overlooking the blue ocean.
