Playa del Carmen Hotels with Pools

Large complex with several pools and dining options, though some amenities not available due to covid. Generally helpful and kind staff, one gentleman at the concierge wasn't the best but the manager was great! The beach had lots of space, places to sit and staff available for beverage service. Overall a nice place to stay!

Where do I start! I booked this hotel based on the good reviews! On arrival at the hotel I was told check in want until 3, and the room wasn’t ready. I had no issues with this as per the check in details. I was told to place my luggage in an insecure room and I wandered up to the pool area, which seemed lovely on first impressions. I wandered out of the hotel and grabbed some lunch to return at the check in time. On returning to the hotel, there were three guests together clearly having check in issues and were refused a key card each. We checked in and was given a key card for room 010 with no explanation, the member of staff could not speak any English and the security guard pointed in the direction. I had booked a suite. This was the best accommodation on offer. What I was greeted with was vastly different. It was dark, smelt musty, the bedroom was on an internal corridor with no natural light, the terrace overlooked reception and you could hear everything. The bed linen was stained and covered in hairs with the audacity of a note saying charges would be incurred for any stains. We immediately complained and the receptionist was clueless and unable to help and couldn’t understand us. A member of staff from the tour table assisted and we were informed that there were no alternatives until tomorrow. Although we weren’t convinced by this. We didn’t unpack and went to the pool area and after having to request pool towels which were old and stained we ventured up. The pool area wasn’t busy and beds available, although the beds were old and d falling apart and only 8 in total. You had to arrange your own umbrellas which were a mish mash and some broken. Sophia at the pool was lovely and obliged during happy hour. We were informed that the hotel had recently been taken over and the pool bar had separate owners. The next day we attended reception at the requested time and we asked to views before moving, this caused some issues and they agreed. The room was 101 and was much better in comparison, although basic furniture and the bathroom was dirty but the linen was cleaner and the bed wasn’t broken like in the first room. The standard of cleaning was poor and staff would often have small children in the bottom of the cleaning trolleys whilst working. The pool towels were never changed and it was hit and Miss whether you got enough towels in the bathroom, along with toilet roll and without telephones in the room you had to visit reception. There was no hairdryer and water only given on first day.we did laugh when a note was next to say we owned mo way for stained items. I was ready for an argument on check out but it never happened and no money was requested. The hotel is in a good location for 5tb Avenue and has the potential to be so much better

A friend bought me the famous Xcaret water park. Hotel prices for Christmas are ridiculously expensive, especially the hotels owned by Xcaret. So this time, in addition to staying at Xcaret Mexico (hereinafter referred to as More Iberostar Quetzal (hereinafter referred to as Q). The price of Hotel Q is less than half that of Hotel X (of course Hotel X includes amusement park tickets, you have to decide whether it’s worth it). Compared to X, which is famous among Chinese people, has better hardware facilities and scenery, I recommend Q more environment: Hotel X is a five-star hotel that Chinese people are familiar with. It has large rooms, new facilities, and not to mention hardware. The beach is very unique, and it feels like an Avatar suspended mountain. Most of the beach is composed of rocks, and there is a small section of beach. The water quality is super good. X is the garden and Q is the jungle. Catering Services: If I had only stayed at Hotel X, I might have thought it was pretty good, but unfortunately I stayed at Hotel Q. In contrast, Q Hotel feels like home. The waiters are more cheerful and accommodating. The drinks are open to drink. The buffet has many fresh varieties and there is basically no need to wait for a table. On Christmas Day, you can eat lobsters and oysters all you want. There is no stinginess at all. In contrast, the waiters at Hotel I also made a reservation for the Xin Gao Japanese meal, so my expectations weren’t too high. I ordered an appetizer of rice, and what came out was a bowl of white rice! I ordered sashimi without wasabi. The waiter said sorry, there is no wasabi today. I will give you pickled ginger slices instead of mustard. Activity: It’s very convenient to go to Xcaret’s parks, with buses running every 20 minutes. The hotel offers free airport drop-off, but reservation is required one day in advance.

Staying at Iberostar for the second time, never disappointed! I like their diving shop the most. The arrangement is reasonable, the price is favorable, and there is a 20% discount for advance booking. The restaurant is all-inclusive, brunch is a buffet, and there are many restaurants to choose from for dinner, which requires advance reservation. Suitable for travelers who can travel on their own with good English!

As the Banyan Tree service did not have to say, that is, the charges are expensive, even the expensive is not good for hygiene, the pool villas, the small collapse in the yard can not lie, placed in the corner of the eaves do not say mosquitoes There are many ant bugs and a lot of spider webs. It looks dirty. The colony is also covered with insect secretions and spider webs. The partitions in the room are all gray, which makes people feel uncomfortable. And if it is too far to go to the beach, it is not convenient. It can only be said that this Banyan Tree is relatively backward, not as good as the nearby Viseroy.

Firstly, the staff were fabulous. In the restaurants (Miguel and Carlos), bars (Andres) and at the pool (sorry I can’t remember the lady’s name at the adult pool). The room (villa 15) always felt damp and foisty. A couple of issues we had were resolved quickly and followed up with a call from reception. Bed was very comfortable. We had a kitchen area which didn’t even have a tea spoon in it. We took one from the restaurant (sorry) so that we could make a cup of tea in the room. We were there when a storm hit and there wasn’t a lot to do. Goodness knows how people kept young children occupied. The weather wasn’t the fault of the hotel, but they maybe need to provide space where activities can be done during adverse weather. The food on the whole was very good. Personal favourite was the Italian. The only down side was it got very busy with long wait times. Poor Diego trying to keep everyone happy, but he did a great job. It would have been better if seating was provided while you waited for the Italian (sometimes 2hrs) as sitting on a pool bed wasn’t the best experience. Thai and Brasserie were also good. We weren’t impressed with the Mexican. Music was very loud and the food very average, but that could have been what we picked. I enjoyed being able to go to a restaurant every night rather than battling round a buffet (which was closed). I didn’t mind the waiting around with your buzzer and a drink We really enjoyed the adult pool. Very quiet and relaxing. The restaurant there was also good for a lunch time One thing I would suggest as an improvement is that other than the plaza there’s nowhere to sit and have a drink in the shade unless you’re on a sun bed. This felt a bit odd but didn’t spoil our stay. It was enjoyable holiday and with a couple of minor tweaks it would feel special

Really a great experience. I was with my husband, we stayed in the privilege suite, perfect! Spacious room, with individual taps, hydro in the bathroom and in the outdoor area with views of the garden, surreally comfortable bed. The Hotel has a wide variety of restaurants, including Italian, Japanese and steakhouse you must book on the day, the rest just go and wait. The Japanese restaurant is not so much about the food but about the sushi chef's experience, it's more of a show, incredible! I recommend the buffet restaurant as it has a variety of cuisine from different countries and the Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, we didn't have good service at the restaurant on the beachfront, which is the only criticism! The resort has several green areas, so you can find several animals, super cute!! We went bowling and they even have karaoke nights, really fun! I would suggest just having a heated pool, as all of them are not heated. It's a complete resort, with ice cream parlor, cafe, wonderful. I recommend it to everyone!

Another great vacation at Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Once again, our lovely buttler CAROLINA took care of everything for us, and particularly all the attentions for the birthday of my wife. CAROLINA is professional, efficient, and always happy. Special thanks to the CAFE AMAT STAFF, all the girls are so kind, and AZUL STAFF, particularly LUCINA, and YAZMIN at the ADULT POOL. And finally, we have really appreciated all the attention the STAFF and the CHEF of LUCA had for us for our last dinner. Muchas Gracias!!

I love this hôtel this is my second time there. This is a little Paradise oasis in the center of Playa. Best location ever without noticing any of the Playa noise. Large gardens with tall palm trees, 3 beautiful pools with one directly on the beach. They pay attention to detail and everything is beautiful. The spa has natural colors and is beautifully set up. My masseuse was Claudia and I went twice because she is very good and attentive to your problem areas. The staff is helpful and friendly. You don’t need to book the all inclusive if you want to explore the restaurants around. They also have a small Starbucks now within the premises so you can have your morning coffee there if you don’t care about the giant buffet. Among all the hotels on the Riviera, this one has a more human size, is situated in the center which is great for shopping, eating out and bars. Well, I love this place.

The hotel is an older hotel. The location is great for access to the beach and walk around 5th Ave. The bartenders and the travel shop/scuba shop were great the hotel maintenance and front desk staff were not the best. We did have issues with our rooms and they were fixed eventually except the king room that we booked was not available and we had to share a double bed. Iit’s an older hotel with musty smells and stuck drawers. The pool closed early on a Saturday night (8pm) but the mariachi/karaoke can play until 11pm and the noise will carry into the room. The kelp on the beach is filled with sand fleas and we came home with over 100 sand flea bites between the 5 of us. The buffet was ok but not worth $45 per day per person.
