* The location was great!
* The beds were amazing!
* The WiFi was great.
* It was a nice change to get some TV in English (other than news and sport!) So we enjoyed a movie on our first night.
* It was great having a laundry, although it would be helpful if they sold individual detergent portions as we ended up having to buy a whole bottle for just one wash. We don't generally travel with laundry detergent.

It's Time to Playa!
At the centre of the Mayan Riveria is Playa del Carmen, a playground for hip Europeans and toned-and-tanned Americans. This resort town showcases the renowned white-sand beaches of the Caribbean Coast along the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Playa del Carmen's powdery white sands are nestled between Cancun to its north, Tulum in the south and the island of Cozumel, 20 km east with its fantastic diving in the nearby Great Maya Reef. Awake from an afternoon nap to take a dip, go snorkelling or deep-sea fishing in the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Playa is an easy choice as a holiday destination with its range of hotels, many first-class restaurants and beachside nightclubs. Quinta Avienda, also known as 5th Avenue, is the main tourist hub and shopping district. For a more authentic Mexico experience, venture outside of the centre to a local cenote (sinkhole) or Mayan ruins in Tulum.
Cruise ships dock in nearby Cozumel and traffic people to the mainland arriving at the Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal. If the glimmering Caribbean waters are full, then Booking.com has a huge number of hotels with an outdoor swimming pool by the beach.

Playa del Carmen it's a big town, with beautiful beaches (except when Sargasso hits the beach). Good food, great nightlife. Lose to many locations nice to visit (family parks and archeological regions)

I went there to see a dentist.
I went there to see a dentist. The cost to fly there and stay for week plus the dental visit was less than my cost do it here at home. So, I was there for a week.
The beaches are beautiful and the sun is strong! PDC has a busy shopping district that you have to see. 5th Ave is about 2 miles of shops and restaurants and other services like massages and pharmacies. Lots of junk and somewhat aggressive shopkeepers trying to get you into their store.
The roads that run parallel to 5th are also full of shops and restaurants, but at a much quieter pace. 1st and 10th Ave are a welcome relief from the hustles on 5th.
Be aware of scammers on 5th saying "remember me from the hotel" also you will be offered weed and cocaine many times a day when you walk up and down 5th Ave. You will get used to saying "no thank you" and just keep saying it.
PDC is safe, just keep you're head on straight and don't get too drunk while you're there. And make smart decisions.
PDC is a 3 hour bus ride to Chichen Itza and that is the must see of any trip the region.

The beach wasn't swimmable because it had a lot of rocks, a lot of seaweed and the hotel didn't clean it.
Go to Cancún, Playa del Carmen is not beautiful. The resort: Yucatan princess was the worst part, as the food served there was horrible. I came home very sad.

It was an unexpected delight.
It was an unexpected delight. It's a walkable city close to the beach. It comes alive at night and is so serene to navigate through. The structure of the buildings are gorgeous. I loved also being around the people of Playa Del Carmen; I loved the local feel to it.

Less crowdy and touristy than Cancun, much more beautiful and practical than Tulum. Stick to the eastern part of the fifth avenue which is much less turisty and has some wonderful local restaurants and brunch places

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is at the heart of Playa del Carmen without being in the middle of the party scene. In just 5 minutes you can easily reach the night life area but you won’t be disturbed at night when the crowds get rowdy (our room was in the back of the hotel).
The breakfast was good and the poolside service was ok. Overall the hotel is clean and feels safe. The room was generally comfortable, but it looks much better in the photos. It is a very basic room.
People were really kind and attentive. Location is great! I don't mind the entrance being directly on the beach because personnel helped me carry my bags and because being there also means the hotel gets some beach front. It is walking distance from the ADO bus station, which means you can easily move by bus to other places. Plus it is close the 5th av. and all its buzz. People who are not staying in the hotel can pay for a lounge chair, food and access to the pool and showers only for one day.
We had an amazing stay at Mvngata, the room was incredible, the view from the balcony was spectacular, plus the interior. From start to finish the service was spectacular, great communication before arrival, Filipe checking us in, Ricky on the rooftop, and Dany with our room service delivery, best service I have had at a hotel in Playa del Carmen. The food and drinks were delicious, everything was just perfect, we can't wait to come back!!
The hotel is positioned perfectly, although it was our first time in Playa del Carmen, we picked absolutely the best location, as everything is close by.
The staff is amazing! Daniela (with whom we communicated via Booking chat) and Vicky (who helped us numerous times at the reception desk) are the best! They were quite resourceful and provided us with all sorts of tips and tricks.
The location is amazing if you want to be in the action and there is a beach front area with an adorable bar that I highly recommend! The place is minimalistic. I was only there for a couple of nights and it suited my needs just fine. Everything is in walking distance. And there is even a place to get a massage on the beachfront right at the hotel.
The hotel itself was amazing. It has a great location right on the beach, some great pools in the resort and the town of playa del carmen is right on the doorstep if you want to head out in the evening or go shopping in the day. The staff were all very friendly and the entertainment during the day by the pool was great.
Hotel was safe, clean, authentic, perfect location on 5th Ave. Staff was hospitable, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Lunata if you’re looking to stay out in Playa del Carmen town. Our room was facing the ave, noise was not terrible with our TV on low it helped drown out the noise from outside.
We love this place, we returned after a few days when we came back to Playa del Carmen. Last time my only complaint were the curtains, but this time (coincidence or not, I don't know) we got black out curtains. The room was dark and the sleep was amazing. Really recommend this hotel.
This is one of the best place ever in Playa del Carmen ! the personal of the hotel is so nice and really professional, the rooms are so nice and very clean . The best service ever , very well located with a private beach club The Lido.
Quite a good value for money option. The hotel is approximately 10-15 minutes away (walking distance) from the central area of Playa del Carmen. There is a nice pool at the terrace and the rooms are quite big with nice design.
An amazing resort located right in the middle of one of the best beaches in the world. An excellent all inclusive hotel with a wide variety of cuisines and well thought out locations of alcohol and snack bars.
Good price near almost everything, rooms are very large and comfortable, from Cancun air port coul use shuttle, bus will leave you in walking distance fron hotel.(cheaper this way).use gps.to make it easier.
Riu Lupita is one of the best hotels in Playa del Carmen. Food, drinks, activities, and the experience, in general, are worth the cost. Try to don't miss booking the dinner in the steakhouse.
It’s right on the beach and one block from all the shops and restaurants on 5th and it’s next door to an amazing restaurant. The outside of this hotel really is quite charming.
The location of this hotel is excellent! Quick walk to stores, restaurants, night life, and beach. Mornings on the beach being served a delicious breakfast is priceless.
The property is really stylish a boutique hotel in the heart of Playa del Carmen
The jacuzzi is a master for your qualitative time after the beach or excursions
Very peaceful, quiet and cozy, which is highly appreciable at Playa del Carmen. Hotel staff is super welcoming and helpful. Rooms are well decorated and clean.
Prime location - in the center of Playa with all the shops/restaurants/taxis and right on the beach. Private and quiet compared to other hotels/ resorts
