C/Tulum-Cancun Km 264, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Formerly the residence of an Italian duchess, Esencia sits nestled between a dense rain forest and a stunning white-sand beach. Surrounded by 50 acres of pristine jungle and situated beside a 3-km stretch of beach, this hotel couldn't have a more untouched locale. Clean lines and white fabrics domin... Read Entire Review »

Km 298.8 Carretera #307, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Opened in early 2008, the Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya brings a new level of sophistication and luxury to the region. Fine artwork and sculpture gardens replace the Corona beer signs and water volleyball nets that seem so ubiquitous at other area resorts. The Mandarin is located on 36 acres of lus... Read Entire Review »

This hotel is located on a powdery white sand beach and off the main road, about 20 km south of Puerto Morelos and 20 km north of Playa del Carmen.

Lote Hotelero 6, Desarollo Playacar, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
On seven hectares near the Allegro, this property is the most luxurious all-inclusive resort on Playacar's booming resort row. This adult-oriented place (no children under age 13 allowed) turns up some class and turns down the music. Though there are two weekly evening shows, and music plays poolsid... Read Entire Review »

Avda Xaman-Ha, Manz 25 Lote 19, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Across the street from the Riu Palace is another Riu offering. Despite good service and comfortable rooms, there is little here to get excited about, and this seems more like overflow for the other properties than a resort in its own right. An open-air lobby centers on a circle of sofas under a hole... Read Entire Review »

Located almost within eco-park Xcaret, this property has an airy jungle atmosphere, compounded by palapa roofs and wooden walkways. An enormous palapa porte cochere flanked by Mayan statues funnels guests into the long, open-air lobby, where they are greeted by a friendly staff. A long... Read Entire Review »

Bahia del Espiritu Santo Esq, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
This five-story hotel stands next to the ferry to Cozumel. It has always hoed tough ground, as it offers an all-inclusive plan that is put to shame by the many fine restaurants a short walk away, and its beach next to the pier isn't one of Playa's best. But for guests that want to combine proximity... Read Entire Review »

The northernmost resort in the Riu grouping, just south of Playa del Carmen, this large U-shaped building surrounds long, low fountains running from the lobby to the beachside pool. A mix of Mexican and European architecture manages a fine, if somewhat overstated, elegance. With a floor plan very si... Read Entire Review »

Located in the heart of Playa del Carmen's party district, this adults-only boutique-hotel relies on a strong sense of retro design and a good dash of quirkiness to pull off a fun, very trendy atmosphere.

This property has traditionally been one of the most popular hotels in town, offering high- and low-priced lodging that makes for an odd social mix of slumming Scandinavians, expatriates and corporate warriors tasting the bohemian life. This strange client list is matched by equally diverse accommod... Read Entire Review »

Constituyentes, No. 1, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Located about a mile north of the town square and at the southern end of the newer section of Playa sometimes referred to as Little Italy, this big, bold all-inclusive resort is almost antithetical to the original, but fading, bohemian spirit of this town of cheap hotels, loud bars and excellent res... Read Entire Review »

Near the more luxurious Occidental Royal Hideaway, this hotel is similar to its sibling property on Cozumel.
