This hacienda-style hotel is located on Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue, one block from the beach. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi in every guest room.

Hotel Lunata features 10 guest rooms decorated in traditional Mexican style. Each guest room offers cable TV, air conditioning and a refrigerator. Rooms also offer a balcony with a view of the ocean, garden or Fifth Avenue. This was my 4th visit to Hotel Lunata in Playa del Carmen since 2002. On the surface, very little has changed over the years. In this case, that is a very good thing! Of course there has been some modernization in that time, such as very good WiFi for each room, however the warm and inviting room design, the friendly staff and the overall impression the hotel leaves have all not changed. We again had a very pleasant visit and were sad to leave. The breakfast is very basic with some cereals, tea, coffee and toast. It’s enough to get you going into the day, but it’s not a feast and is not the main focus of this boutique hotel. It is self-service in the Lunata natural garden, just like it was in 2002. We brought some fruits from the market and the staff offered to peel and cut the fruit for us. Fantastic service.

In a prime location in Playa del Carmen, Hotel 12 BEES by Kavia offers air-conditioned rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a terrace. This 3-star hotel offers a bar. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Playa del Carmen Beach. Great location, not too far from the shops and restaurants, but enough to not hear the noise from it all. Friendly staff, very welcoming. The pool bar was really nice, and the food was amazing up there. Rooms were spacious and cleaners came round everyday. This hotel is perfect if you want somewhere not too far from the main part and for a very good price.

Ideally situated in the centre of Playa del Carmen, Winday Hotel - Cerca de 5a Avenida offers 3-star accommodation close to Playa del Carmen Beach and Church of Guadalupe. The property is around 2.7 km from ADO International Bus Station, 3.3 km from Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal and 49 km from Xel Ha. The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool and a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. I like how close it was to the most popular street, but it was also very quiet around us. The pool was bigger than I expected and there were a bunch of little in home restaurants which were amazing. Access to the public beach is straight down the road behind the hotel.
