My wife and I have been to Playa three times in the last 12 months. The first two times we stayed in all inclusives, Royal Hideaway and Riu Palace Mexico in Playacar. We had great vacations but found that we were missing great opportunities to sample the restaurants and lively atmosphere of Playa Del Carmen. We wanted to be on... more

We had a very enjoyable stay at Pueblito Escondido. We got a penthouse suite, which was more than enough room for 2 of us. As others have mentioned, the rooftop pool is not very private, nor is it big, but it is still nice to have right outside your room if you can afford the upgrade. There is plenty of... more

We were blown away by this place. We got the 3rd-floor suite with the roof-top pool and our jaws dropped when we walked in! Gorgeous suite with top-notch furnishings and decor. I keep reading reviews where guests criticize this property for mosquitos. We never saw one nor have we any of the other half-dozen times we've gone to Playa. Either... more

We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and of all the places we saw in Playa (always want to make sure we made the right choice); this is the place we would actually stay at again. This hotel is very beautiful and perfect if you DON'T want to be right in the middle of downtown Playa. We were... more

We spent 5 nights at Pueblito Escondido and found it to be a very nice place. The Junior suite is very modern with many upgrades. Two plasma TV's and a DVD player were handy. As a condo resort, they have a full kitchen with very basic amenities. The microwave has Spanish instructions. Be aware there are only the barest essentials,... more

While a nice hotel, the management at P.E. is so shady, I'll never return. After pre-paying 5 months in advance for an entire weekend, they had the driver pick us up at the airport and take us directly to a DIFFERENT hotel. This is because they over-sold the P.E. and decided that we had to be the group to get... more

My wife and I have a toddler and wanted to take a family trip to Mexico. Our main concern was getting a nonstop flight from Los Angeles to some fun and warm destination. After an extensive review of exciting yet affordable destinations, Playa Del Carmen (“PDC”) became the most likely choice. Just 40 minutes (with traffic) south of Cancun, this... more

We loved it! We stayed in the penthouse for a girlfriend getaway. My 3 friends and I really enjoyed this hotel. Having been to Playa before, I was not sure if this hotel might be too far from the action on 5th ave., but it worked out great. We took cabs into town at night because we were going to... more

Pueblito Escondido is in an excellent location by the beautiful beach and an easy walk to 5th Avenue. The condo was large which made our stay with our two older children easy. We were not in each other's ways. The bathroom had two entrances - very handy and more private. It was a large bright bathroom. The condo was nicely... more
