The white sand and the transparent sea are not the only charms that Playa del Carmen has to offer travellers. In these cosmopolitan and globalisation times, this old fishing Town on the coast of Cancun has driven simple lodges into oblivion to give way to flashy hotel compounds, with services standing at international standards.

From the most discreet lodge up to the most ostentatious hotel, travellers seeking refuge on Playa del Carmen will sense the best attention that their affectionate hosts can provide, and will be delighted with the particular decoration of each room: hand-painted walls, hammocks in the garden, and beautiful handicraft objects in every corner.

The smaller and more peaceful lodges, some of them with only two rooms whilst the bigger ones can have up to 50, are located on Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue.

The large Five Star hotels rise before the sea, offering their guests excel vistas of the Mexican Caribbean, besides a series of services and facilities that will lead you to relaxation and delightfulness.

The offer extends to the residential area of Playacar, a few steps away from Playa del Carmen, to a rosary of Mayan ruins, and the aviary of Xaman-Ha, which houses flamingos, storks, macaws and herons.

Splendid resorts with ample green and recreational areas (some even have golf courses), offering their guests the system "all included", stand out in this sector.
