This hotel was right on the beach, and was everything it advertised itself to be. Low maintenance, clean and just lovely. Breakfast on the sand each morning was a real treat. Filtered water provided each day. You don't often find hotels like this anymore so this is a real gem!

When we initially looked at staying at Play Maya, I was suspicious whether the positive reviews were real. After staying for a week at the end of April, we can say that for the most part, the reviews are accurate. There’s nothing fancy about the hotel or accommodations. You get a clean room, excellent maid service with be bed art,... More

Very relaxed & laid back place. Beach chairs only ones on beach padded. Super nice friendly people. Great walking distance to things. Room: Small but comfy rooms with good beds and AC. Stayed in 302. Liked being high. Small fridge in room. Filtered water available. Food: Great moderately priced food. Coconut shrimp to die for here plus the seafood tostadas.... More

Playa Maya is a little hard to find but well worth the search. This hotel has excellent service, rooms are very nice and beds are very comfortable. A short walk down the beach from 8 th. Street brings you to their lobby. Would highly recommend to any visiting Playa del Carmen.

Our 6th trip to Playa, but first time to Playa Maya. The small size, the cleanliness, the staff that got along with each other as well as with us, the incredible food, and impeccably cold cervesas made for an awesome vacation. Room 303 could not have been better. The view, cleanliness, and overall condition of the buildings made it even... More

You just don't find places like this anymore! Wonderful little hotel, right on the beach, smack dab in the center of Playa Del Carmen. Amazing food, great drinks, welcoming staff. My cousin and I stayed in a standard room that was quite large with a small balcony. The room was kept immaculate throughout our stay. Most patrons of this hotel... More

We just returned 2 days ago from the Playa Maya and it was a relaxing wonderful holiday. It took literally 45 seconds to walk from our room right into the ocean! Short version: We stayed 10 nights in the garden jacuzzi room and loved it. Food was excellent, staff were awesome. Sand on the beach was soft. Bed was comfy.... More
