1. Petit Lafitte Beachfront Hotel & Bungalows

Playa del Carmen

"I cannot express how special this resort is. Small, intimate, and unique. The entire staff helped me celebrate my birthday..special drinks, food and a beautiful piece of cake with a sparkler on top, Best birthday ever. I was upgraded to an amazing ocean front room. The food was great, the pool was wonderful. The beach is maintained and clean with lots of chairs and hammocks. I've found my vacation spot and will definitely be back."

"This place was beautiful and super super quiet! The staff is absolutely amazing! I hate that i forget their names but everyone literally everyone is so nice and welcoming. It was my birthday and they gave me endless love and even gave me a couple of bottles of wine complimentary for the occasion! Perfect for couples, although I went alone. The rooms have a little wear and tear but overall such a nice villa!"

We left this place for the end of our trip. It was a very good decision. If you want to do nothing and just be... it is the place. We didnt have a car, so you need to take in mind yhat hopping to Tulum, reqiure Taxis. But we knew that and did not want to leave. Going Outside this is like going out of the bubble. Why pop it. There were issues. Well it is 2022, staff is a challenging issue. But management aware, and knows to be accountant about un trained staff. (Well... the owner was...

If you're looking for a resort that feels like coming home, this is it. Every person here makes you feel like family. From arrival we were met with warmth. We were given a full hotel tour before being handed to our butler for the stay, Norma, who went above and beyond daily — looping us into the turtle release conservation program, sourcing medicine when I was unwell, and having the chef prepare a bespoke octopus dish for my wife — something not even on the menu, made purely because she...

Banyan Tree Mayakoba

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

Our first visit to Mexico and we thought we would try a trusted hotel chain. We were not disappointed. For those wanting great weather, pampering, a dose of nature and a good beach, the Banyan tree is the answer. The walk to the beach from the main hotel could be a little daunting for some, but we did it a coupe of times a day and really enjoyed the wonderful wildlife in the lagoons. Staff were brilliant if a little over attentive sometime due to low occupancy. Downsides - beach had a little...

Petit Lafitte Beachfront Hotel & Bungalows

Playa del Carmen

10/10 Excellent

Petit Lafitt was perfect for what we wanted. We had toured Mexico City, Merida, Tulum and finally Playa Del Carmen. We were aware this area would be very different to all those I'd mentioned before so opted for somewhere that would be more homely than the larger resorts. It did not disappoint, food was freshly cooked every night rather than a buffet. You had two options and the menus changed daily for both breakfast and dinner. The beach front bar served a lovely lunch if you decided to have an...

Maya Villa Condo Hotel & Beach Club

Gonzalo Guerrero

10/10 Excellent

The condo is in the centre of PDC yet on a very quiet road. Our apartment was on the ground floor with two small terraces. The bed is gigantic and so comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need including a water cooler as you can't drink the tap water. It is only a short walk to the beach, we spent most of our time at the Indigo Beach Bar. You can request cleaning service every day and all the staff are so friendly. Lili who cleaned our apartment was amazing. Would highly...

Welcome to Paradise! Orchid Beach House is the perfect place if you're looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, but still want to be close to the party zone with all the bars and restaurants. The staff is fantastic, Mariela kindly arranged my transport back to the airport, as well as my Covid test onsite. The rooms are clean, quiet and fairly spacious, and the food delicious. I'm already looking at booking my next stay there!

The beach area is beautiful, one of the best in tulum. There’s nice amounts of space between chairs making for a relaxing and uncrowded beach. Love the hut design of the rooms. Nice to wake up to the sound of birds every morning. Plenty of restaurants and amenities nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful without being pushy. Restaurant also is great, tasty food and great drinks. The overall vibe is more romantic / chilled / family friendly, which we really enjoyed.
