My trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico was my first solo trip ever. I've traveled all over the world, but decided to do a solo trip to celebrate my birthday! Of course I was terrified, but excited. The hotel did an amazing job trying to cushion my journey through e-mails and answered all of my questions effectively. When I arrived,... more

My husband and I stayed at Playa Maya from April 11th through April 16th. The rooms and property were very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the breakfast and great service at the restaurant, which is right on the beach in a beautiful setting. The hotel is very conveniently located close to many shops and restaurants and also to the... more

We loved our Playa Maya vacation! The location is great, on the beach, close to 5th Avenue, ferry and bus, and yet quiet at night. The service was exceptional; we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spotlessly clean, had lots of closet and cupboard space, and a balcony with a view (not panoramic, but very nice)... more

Friends and I just came back from several days here. First, the staff is first class. From the front desk to the kitchen, to the waiters and everyone else, they are all so helpful, a pleasure to be around and deal with, and do everything possible to make your stay great. The hotel is always clean, the food for breakfast... more

We have just returned from five days on the Yucatan peninsula and spent two of our nights at the Playa Maya. As everyone says, it is clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it is away from the noise of 5th Avenue, yet close enough to walk everywhere. The ferry service to Cozumel is a short walk on the... more

The hotel is wonderful for the most part. It is exceptionally clean and very charmingly decorated. It is right on the beach and they are great about getting you beach chairs to lie on. There are masseuses that set up right outside the hotel. The breakfast is very decent and everyone at the hotel was extremely nice. We got an... more

My wife and I and two other couples stayed at the Playa Maya from Jan 18th through the 26th. Suffice to stay our whole experience with this hotel was wonderful. Starting with our reservations made with Stephen Ryberg all through our stay and eventual (but sad) departure everything was just great. Mr. Ryberg worked with us to help us get... more

We stayed at the Playa Maya for two weeks from Dec. 19th - Jan. 2/08. We had a superior oceanview room on the 3rd floor -the room was very clean and spacious. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay. The staff of the hotel are what make it a wonderful place. The hotel is small and personable - take some time... more

Just returned from Playa Maya in Playa del Carmen. We were really impressed with all the personal touches in this small hotel. The hotel is very clean and the hotel staff bend over backward to help you. The receptionist Aide (days) and Pablo (nights) do an exceptional job. They go above and beyond what is required. Welcoming drinks, water and... more

My husband and I LOVED everything about the Playa Maya. This is one of those reviews where I am worried to rave too much because I don't want everyone to know about this spot, nor do I want the hotel to raise their prices! But, I'll be honest anyway.... The front desk staff was fantastic. Loved Pablo! We walked up... more
