"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."

Even so, we were only a block from the beach and the bars and restaurants in that area. All of the staff were pleasant and helpful. It was nice to be in a relatively quiet area away from the resorts."
