Top Playa del Carmen Centro Hotel Reviews

Antera Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Que se encuentra cerca a la diferentes actividades"

Palmarena Rooms and Residences - Long Stay Comfort with Parking, Sauna, Gym and Pool (Steps from 5th Avenue)

8/10 Good

"My wife and I stayed here for a week. We were thankful for the air conditioning, we would often find ourselves coming back to the room to cool off from the intense heat. The cons were that the water pressure in the shower and in the kitchen sink weren't very good. I suppose living in Canada that is something we all may take for granted. After a few days I did get used to it. Everything is walking distance from here Walmart, shops, vendor's, restaurants and even the beach and the famous 5th Avenue."

MAYAB Playa - 5Th. Ave

8/10 Good

"The room was not expensive and the room was not spectacular, you get what you pay for. Either that said the roof top pool was clean and really nice at night to soak while listening to the music from the street below. The location is great, one block from the beach, around the corner from the ado bus drop off. The vendors below the hotel are helpful but are aggressive sales men. Know that walking around here, you will have people trying to get you to buy stuff from them every step you take down the street."
