"My girlfriend and I stayed at Villa Madre during our trip to Playa del Carmen and had a great experience. The location made it easy to explore downtown, the beach and Quinta Avenida, while the hotel felt relaxed and welcoming when we returned. We’re adventurous travelers, so the staff’s help choosing and arranging local tours was especially valuable. Our room was comfortable, breakfast was a great start to the day, and the pool was perfect after exploring. We’d gladly stay again."

Top Playa del Carmen Centro Hotel Reviews

Antera Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Everything’s is close by not to far. Beach is like 5 minutes of walk. Close to Quinta Avenida. Very welcoming"

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."

Mar Azul Suites 5ta Av

8/10 Good

"The convenience of it is nice you come out in your right on fifth Avenue you do have to check in in a different hotel and then walk down a block which is fine. There is no elevator and no stuff in the building. There’s a name on the glass door, but it’s very small so it can get hard to find it does get loud because there is clubs all around it. We asked to be moved because of how loud it was they said they could move us, but it was gonna be loud anywhere cause there’s surrounded by nightlife. They did give me some earplugs and those were really helpful. The staff was nice and the location was nice. It was nice to just come off and be right there, but we did have to go about four flights of stairs, which was tiring and there’s no pool there."

Areia Playa del Carmen-Beach front Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean, every day the cleaner came and cleaned our room. I also found the place to be very safe, they had a worker there 24hrs. It was the perfect location, mins from the bus station and 5th av was right outside the door! Had a great time and will come again!"
