The resort is right next to the action downtown and next to the Ferry. We loved to sit by the pool and beach all day and the night life in town was great to experience as well. The staff was the most accommodating staff that we have had in our travels. The cost of the resort is very reasonable for what it includes. We tried the Hibachi Grill and the Italian Restaurant. Both were very good! The kids loved ordering room service and it was to the room within the half hour every time. Eric was a great tour guide on the bikes and showed up some renewable architecture as well as the Ruins around the property. He also kicked our behinds in the pool with Zumba. I can't recommend this resort enough for a reasonably priced all-inclusive place to take the family.

The service was spectacular. The pool and ocean with the warm turquoise water was lovely. The kelp on the beach is an issue that needs to get more under control however. That is my only complaint. We weren’t aware it was a public beach prior to the trip. Would have preferred a private beach.

We had a blast! The reason for 4*'s and not 5 are not many but are significant. The check-in process was lengthy. The rooms were not ready by the promised time. We booked 4 months prior and had requested rooms next to each other, and I followed up with the hotel the week prior. We were not granted this & it was one of the reasons we chose this resort. One of the rooms we ended up in was on the main floor just near the main entrance. Every person that walked to the elevators walked past our room and it was so loud at all hours of the day/night. This room is better suited for another purpose rather than patrons. Last, the push for their 'VIP membership' was required after arrival at the hotel. We were tired and didn't feel in the mood for listening to a sales-upsale. They might have had better luck with us if they had let us inquire at a later time.

Overall, the stay at Playacar Palace was excellent. We were there as a family of four (2 teenage boys) & another family. We would recommend staying here and will highly consider coming back next time we visit Playa del Carmen. Pros: Staff was very nice - Ricardo (pool staff), Carlos (pool bar), Fabiola (Cafe Mar Hostess), Paulina (Awe Spa masseuse) and Ivan (server) were some of our favorites. Rooms and hotel were very clean. Room service/mini bar requests were handled expeditiously. Food was far beyond what we have come to expect at an all-inclusive. Entertainment was really fun. Beach access is amazing and the ocean is incredible! Really close to local shopping. Cons: The immediate upsell to listen to a presentation/purchase a membership upon arrival. It was borderline aggressive. The same thing happened as we were leaving. Not the best way to start/end a vacation. Not enough pool chairs. This is a smaller property, but they reserve half of the chairs for their VIP members, so finding chairs after 8am is really difficult. Doesn’t seem fair when spending a ton of money on vacation. Was not able to dine at two of the restaurants as we couldn’t get reservations. Such a bummer. Hotel gift shop is ridiculously overpriced and was not forthcoming with which sunglasses could be purchased with store credit. Store staff was visibly irritated and turned rude when we insisted. We would have purchased more there if she wasn’t so rude.

This was my first time in Mexico and what a wonderful experience it was. Playacar Palace is a very wonderful all inclusive resort that I highly recommend. The entire staff are warm and attentive, they made us feel like home. The location of this resort is on point, few steps from 5th Ave and the pier. The resort's food were fantastic and the Spa facility and service will make you want to return soon. I would return here to this resort the next time I go back to Playa.

Great location and great hotel. Clean, laid back, excellent service. The chair reservation system at the pool needs work. Too many on reserve and unused for the day.

I loved the central location yet still relaxing atmosphere at Playacar Palace. The cafe was a favourite and we enjoyed visiting the Cozumel Palace for the day where same privileges applied. Dining options were good and provided enough opportunity for variety across our week stay. One criticism is the cool temperature of the rooms which persists even when the aircon is turned off - apparently a fan is constantly on the reduce humidity build up in the rooms. The beach, although rough, was preferred by our children (12 and 9) but we ended each day in the pool and spa watching the sun go down- really idyllic! All in all, a great stay.

Pros - close to 5th Ave shopping, close to ferry to Cozumel, good restaurants with good service in them, good pool service, available reservations for dinner, front desk staff good, cleaning crew great Cons - no beach-just pool, not a fan of the process after check-in where they try and pressure you to sit down with them and talk about the resort, credits and setting an appointment for them to sell you on time-share weeks-especially after a long day of travel, morning buffet service is terrible if you want to drink anything other than coffee and then they give it to you once and you never see them again, don't ask for anything else, because you won't get it, check-out process comes with the hard sell to come back again for a promotional offer.

Playacar palace resort property is a pretty small property. It has 4 restaurants and 2 cafes but very limited options for vegetarian. Food was good but menu items were repetitive on multiple days, so after spending 3-4 days you feel like there is nothing new that you can try. Pool closes at 7pm and there is nothing to do in the resort post 7pm. Staff were friendly and quite cooperative. Property is clean. Good point is that it’s location is pretty good and located next to the local market which is one of the good option to explore post 7pm.

This resort was at a convinient location near Playa de Carmen shopping district. It was smaller in size than most of all inclusive resorts but had good staff and service. There were not many options/activities after 7 pm apart from live music in lobby and one 30 min show on weekday nights. Pool area were also closed after 7 pm.

Service and staff were incredible and helpful. Food was amazing, especially the desserts! The restaurants were excellent and far better than many all inclusive i have stayed at. There was never any problem getting into the buffet. The adult only Mexican dinner was the only meal I didn’t like. The rooms were good and beds comfortable. Small balcony. Location was right in playa so easy to go into town and get street food and shopping. Very busy town! Endless streets of places to go. Only downside to this resort is the beach- the hotel is beside the ferry so beach only goes to the one side, no beach chairs or umbrellas on the beach, locals all use as public beach and it is blacked with very little walking area. For the price of this trip and location we were okay with not having the instagram beach although I would have liked a quite spot on beach. The pool area was ok. Need to get up early to get good seats reserved and pool is not that big. I liked that like resort felt smaller- I hate having to walk forever to get to room it was easy to get around quick here. Coffee shop and former cocktails were outstanding.

Disliked: Amenities
The location was good if you wanted to go into Playa, Del Carmen and take the ferry to Cozumel or shop. The resort is very small and did not have a sports bar or place to hang out after dinner other than just a lobby bar. You have to make reservations for the à la cart restaurant on the app And you have to do that early in the morning or the reservations fill up and you have to eat at the buffet for dinner, which is very limited on food choices. The worst part about the resort were the timeshare people who were constantly hounding you to sell you timeshares Even following you to the pool and restaurants. It was so annoying and they would not take no for an answer. I am on vacation to relax and enjoy myself, not be constantly followed and bothered by someone trying to sell me something. Even after I checked out a salesman followed me to my transportation van still sales pitching “memberships”. They were relentless! Never again will I ever stay at any Palace property.

By booking through Expedia you get tagged with a different color wristband than everyone else at the resort, and it seems like you get worse service…Check in was not pleasant as the employee was not friendly or informative and we were not welcome with any sort of drink or amenities, Pool attendants didn’t help us get chairs set up, mini bar wasn’t restocked daily, staff was not super friendly or helpful, rooms are average, too few bathrooms around the pool (which usually needed cleaning), food is average, pool activities are constant so there is a lot of noise and commotion around the pool. The resort needs more seating areas that people can relax and hang out together in the evening. No food allowed by the pool. This hotel is not as nice as the rating reflects. Much room for improvement. It was a disappointing vacation. We will not be back

The property has no sand beach although the pictures show sand beach with beach chairs. During the 4 nights stay none of the pool showers were functional. Windows panels throughout the common areas were dirty. Pool overcrowded and hard to find a beach chair. Almost impossible to book a restaurant for dinner. Guest service is useless, they ask you to book everything through their app. Redeeming resort credits limited and complicated.

Dear Dan,We deeply regret that you have had this perception of the service and facilities please note unfortunately because of weather conditions our beach is eroded is the mother of nature and unpredictable that is the reason our pool area looks more crowded than usual, in regards guest service we shared your feedback with the corresponding department in order to improve, we would love to host you again very soon and provide you the service you came to expect.Sincerely,
