We had such a great time at the hotel and would certainly consider coming back. The hotel amenities were great and the staff did everything to ensure we had everything we needed. Drinks service was efficient at both the pool and the beach, the food was delicious and the room was perfect. We used a portion of the resort credits... More

Playacar Palace was an excellent choice for a quick girls weekend. The resort is meticulously maintained and is in a fantastic location, walking distance to 5th Avenue. The staff is incredible and went out of their way to insure every need of ours was met. I am not a fan of all inclusives but Playacar has forced me to reconsider.... More

Playacar is a great place to stay when visiting Playa Del Carmen. It is an easy walk to 5th Avenue. The service is good and the food is tasty. The concierge is helpful with booking tours and making suggestions. The pool was always clean and inviting. The waiters are abundant and always ready to take your order. This has nothing... More

My wife and I have just spent a week (May 4 thru 11, 2013) at Playacar Palace. This was one of the best vacations that we have enjoyed in a long time. The location of the resort is perfect as you are only a short distance to Playa del Carmen, the Cozumel Ferry and 5th Avenue. The beach at the... More

After spending our honeymoon at the Moon Palace in 1998, we decided to try another Palace resort for our 15th anniversary. We travel a lot and have been to many all-inclusive resorts as well as cruises. After doing some research, we decided on the Playcar Palace. All of the reviews we have read were excellent - and rather than go... More

This was our ninth stay at a Palace Resort in the last four and a half years - the first time at Playacar Palace. All of the positive comments you have read about Playacar Palace in... More

We were so excited to visit this area again to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We had not stayed at this resort but had stayed up the beach a ways and liked the area.

We had a nice stay here, the property could use a little sprucing up as it is looking a little worn out. Our room was nice and the staff was great. They have a beautiful large beach, wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed at Playacar for my wedding on April 20th, 2013. It was really a perfect stay. We had a total of 47 guests (well, 43 stayed at the resort) and not one of them had a complaint! I'd say that is a success! We were very focused on making sure that everyone would have a good time and enjoy... More
