I've been to this property 5 times or more. If I want to stay in a resort in Playa del Carmen, this is the only one I would consider. You are right in town (5th avenue is practically outside the resort) yet it feels like you are in a very natural, almost jungle-ish setting, with a cool vibe and multiple pools and restaurants, and the occasional animal walking by. All other Playa hotels are concrete bunkers by comparison.
