In the center of Playa del Carmen

Here you will find lots of smaller hotels, saddled by the beach or in the middle of the center. If you like the hustle and bustle on the streets and a bit of crowd, this is the place for you. Playa never sleeps, you will find bars and discos of all kinds, beach clubs and a lot of shopping - almost around the clock. But be careful: a loudspeaker roars from almost every pharmacy and shop. The windows of the small hotels are often hardly sealed and you have to be prepared for sleepless and noisy nights. You can find all types of accommodation via booking platforms. In the center, it is definitely worth to book a accommodation with breakfast only or without board. There are restaurants of all nationalities on every corner and if you do not go to the 5th Avenida, then at absolutely fair prices. Try the little Mexican breakfast restaurants, there is lots of fresh made juices and typical Mexican restaurants with a big variety. Also private rooms and apartments can be found easily on the main online booking systems. 

 

Playacar

Here you will find many known hotels and hotel chains, for example the Viva Azteca or Viva Maya, many Riu hotels, Sandos Playacar, Allegro Playacar, Iberostar Tucan and Quetzal. Playacar is a separated region with hotels and private villas. On the entrance and exit are many securities, inside a golf course, tennis courses, Starbucks, a shopping mall and many more. The beaches of Playacar are long and carribean and most of the hotels lay directly at the beach. Some hotels have a shuttle service to get to the beach. You can easily walk to Playa del Carmen (depending on which hotel you stay in) or take a taxi to the center for small money.

 

South of Playa del Carmen

Here you can find many 5 stars hotels of the region. The "Riviera Maya", so called the complete coast, offers nearly the total repertory of hotels and hotel chains. The beaches in the south are beautiful and here are known hotels like the Barcelo, the Grand Palladium, Akumal Bay, Sirenis, Grand Bahia Principe, Secrets Akumal, Hard Rock Hotel etc. You can get to Playa del Carmen or Tulum easily by colectivos. Just wait at the highway until one stops. Have a look to our report about colectivos, taxis and rental cars for more information.

For our tours we pick up every hotel up to the Grand Bahia. Every guest living in a hotel more in the south, we collect at a meeting point in Akumal. Except of tours into the south (Tulum, Coba, Sian Kaan, Bacalar). For them, we let you know where we can pick you up exactly.

 

North of Playa del Carmen

In the north of Playa del Carmen lays the region of Puerto Morelos and soon behind it Cancun. Well-known hotels as the Sandos Caracol, Grand Riviera Princess, Ocean Maya, Vidanta, Valentin, Iberostar Paraiso lay in this direction. We will pick you up for tours up to the Iberostar Paraiso. Everything behind it in the direction of Cancun is out of our pick-up zone. You will either come to our meeting point in Playa del Carmen or we can often offer you an extra transfer. Please talk to us about it.

From here you can easily take a colectivo or taxi to Playa del Carmen and also to Cancun.

 

In Cancun 

Here are laying many huge hotel chains, which are mostly very big and have many floors. In contrast to Playa del Carmen, where the hotels are in most cases not higher than three floors. Cancun is big and often noisy, much traffic and in the center it is not that easy to find your way. Will you stay in Cancun, the way to our tours are very long, but possible..
