Talk about culture shock. The last time I was in Playa del Carmen, there were dirt roads, a handful of shops and restaurants on 5th Avenue, and we had to pay cash for everything. Now 20 years later, we returned to see its mighty evolution into the #1 honeymoon destination in the world and the covergirl on every glossy travel... more

We just got back from a 5 night stay at Playa Palms. We stayed in the one-bedroom suite #306 and it was great accommodations for me, my husband and two year old son. We traveled with another family with two-year old and they also stayed in a one-bedroom suite (#307) across the way. This was a great set up since... more

Can't get enough of this place, my third visit in two years. This time we weathered Hurricane Ida, which was far enough off shore that we only got a lot of wind and rain, but it seems to have added more sand to the already beautiful beach. Staff has been scrambling to make sure all guests are safe and secure... more

Lovely, modern hotel in a fantastic location. Helpful and friendly staff. The rooms were immaculately clean. Set right on the beach or if you prefer the hotel has a pool. Easy 2 minute walk to restuarants, shopping etc. I couldnt have been happier. I cannot fault this hotel at all. more

We spent five nights in the Playa Palms Hotel at the end of October, and absolutely loved it. Our room was on the small side. but still great. It had a kitchenette, complete with toaster, coffee maker, mini fridge, and a microwave. All of the rooms had balconies with an ocean view, and while I saw that a few previous... more

The Playa Palms is in a good location right on the beach. The staff was very friendly, especially Victor, who greeted us everyday, was always smiling, and willing to help with suggestions. The rooms are certainly decent and each had a nice balcony with a ocean view, table and hammock. We stayed in room 309. The king bed was comfortable... more

This hotel was a great surprise. The pictures of the rooms don't disappoint. The rooms are very spacious and clean with access to a beautiful balcony. Though it does have beach space and chairs to lay on, it is a small space and the beach wasn't that clean. Aside from that, the hotel was very pleasing. Keep in mind that... more

We stayed at the Playa Palms the week of October 3-10, and loved it. It was a very clean hotel with easy access both from the street and beach. The location is great, a very short walk to the corner of Quinta and Calle 12N. The room that we had (1 br suite) was spacious and clean, although it was... more

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, the hotel was situated right on the beach and was close to the main street and clubs but far enough away for it to be quiet. All in all a really great stay! The only downfall would be that the balconies are quite close together which ment the people in the... more
