playacar is a lovely little resort with shops and even a starbucks coffee shop there, five minutes down road is the much busier resort of playa del carmen with endless shops and bars,50 pesos in taxi(about £2.50)

The workers at the hotel work non stop cleaning up in the main areas and also around the grounds.
The entertainment was very good with very proffessional dancers,
The beach is a small man made beach with a few fish to see, If you want a beach holiday to take strolls along a nice beach then This would be the only problem.
Yes I would return but not in the near future (would like to explore more countries)

we travelled here for our anniversary, a special treat and it was great, the hotel was spotless, the food was excellent, preferred the buffet to the a la carte, the chinese restuarant choice was pretty limited, the location was brill, with a free bus service into town every morning and afternoon
the staff were happy and helpful, cant really comment on the entertainment as we didnt experience it, we would definitely go again. we upgraded and had use of the private beach area, members pool and waitress service at the sunbeds, wow this was great. we travelled to the jungle and unfortunately had an accident on a quad bike, beware as most travel insurance doesnt cover this, fortnately we booked our excursion at the hotel and there was insurance included as i had to stay in hopsital and have an op. on our return to the hotel the staff were amazing, food was delivered to our room as i was unable to get about. this place is a must!!!!

Playacar is just a 20 min walk from playa del carmen. A lively enough place with ALOT of souveniers on sale (mainly Tshirts!)The usual bars and restaurants plently clean enough and secure. The Beach here is nice but due to the storms they are small. The ones at playacar have virtually vanished they are now just congested thin strips of sand where as before they were wide long and beautiful it was very sad to see. But i loved the resort and will return i just hope that the sea returns the beach soon!

Playa Carmen was either a 25 min walk or $5 taxi.
It had all the touristy shops a few nice bars and restruants and the ferry to Cozumel.
We went to wallmart in Playa and got a few bargains-t-shirts etc.

A lovely resort with cheap taxi prices. You can do as little or as much as you like. Loads of shops and bars on 5th Avenue. Some excellent bargains to be had. Some shopkeepers like to give a little hassle but a polite no is enough to do the trick. A cheap ferry ticket will take you to the beautiful island of Cozumel - a must for all lovers of snorkelling.

Playa del carmen was very clean and seemed to be crime free. There were a lot of bars of various type and quite good shopping. Prices in shops varied. The larger shops had their prices displayed whilst you were expected to haggle a price at some of the smaller stalls and shops.

You could get the ferry to Cozumel and there was also a large bus terminal in the centre of 5th Avenue.
The sea was a lovely azure blue but I suspect there were sand flies or similar as all of our party were bitten every time we ventured onto or near the sand. Plenty of watersports available.

All in all a great resort.

Perfect in every detail.

The resort is built around the natural environment, jungle, lakes, waterfall, with a large variety of wildlife, monkeys, toucans, parrots, iguanas,all etc. allowed to roam freely, even the pool bar is built into a natural cenote.

Beach was beautiful, but the ocean was something else, warm and turquoise, you have to scuba-dive to see the diverse aquatic life, that is so close to the shore, it is like swimming in a tropical fish tank.

Perfect.
