We lucked into this hotel and loved everything about it. We were steps off the beach, had great beach chairs daily, a nice room, breakfast on our patio every morning - what's not to love, all for a very reasonable rate. The best part about it is the intangible -the narrow pool with rooms facing each other made it very... More

Playa Palms Beach was perfect for us. All rooms have large balconies with hammocks and seating area. The staff are really friendly and will help you out with most things. Since the hotel is small the beach area is calm and relaxing. Continental breakfast is served on your balcony every morning, which we liked. It is not a hotel for... More

Enjoyed our stay there for memorial day weekend! Staff super nice and helpful, hotel pretty quiet and so quaint with hammocks on each balcony. Definitely better than the all-inclusive hot mess hotels for sure. Downsides: the beds were not the most comfortable (but not really there to sleep I guess...) and the boats parked out front were kind of blocking... More

Loved it! Right in the center of town, yet directly on the beach. We had an oceanfront room and loved the design, decor and views. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds and facilities were beautiful, clean and inviting. Playa Palms was the perfect "home" for us while in such a cool beach town. We'll be back :)

My husband and I stayed for eight nights at this hotel, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We had an ocean view studio on the third floor, that was overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Ask for room 311; amazing view with no other balcony obstructing your sight! To start with, we felt welcomed from the first moment we arrived. We... More

I stayed there for around 10 days. It has a great location, it is located on the beachside, you can get loungers without additional cost as well as towels (in some places this is extra). The sea is great and warm, sometime there are some boats anchored nearby, but they are usually a problem. The room was very comfortable, with... More

We stayed for 8 days in an oceanview room. You can see a small section of the ocean from the balcony. The hotel is extremely clean, with filtered water in the room that's replaced when empty which was very nice and the breakfast served on the balcony was great. The location is perfect to access the beach and downtown area.... More

I have just returned from my first trip to Playa del Carmen. I am so thankful that I listened to the reviews and stayed at Playa Palms. It is centrally located right in the middle of paradise. You could not be any closer to the ocean - your room is literally a few steps away. My stay at Playa Palms... More

Stayed here for 5 nights and it lived up to the expectations the photos had given us. Great position in Playa, right in the heart, yet feel far away enough from the clubs. Yes, there were boats out the front, but we just walked 50m to the right to a nicer spot to swim. Great rooms, amazing service and friendliness... More

The hotel is really small but comfortable, it has everything you need. I loved it and the staff are really nice and they help you out with all you can need. It is also really close to all the night life's most popular places. The only thing is we were 3 guests and there was only 1 bed in the... More
