A small and charming hotel, the Albatros is appraised for holidays in peace and relaxation within two steps from the bustling life of Playa del Carmen or as a good stopover point by the sea between two excursions.

The hotel is located directly on the seafront, in the centre of Playa del Carmen. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Cancun airport located 32 miles away.
The rooms favours space rather than massive furniture. White walls, tiled flooring and small wall lamps dress the rooms. All have three windows, the biggest opening onto a small terrace with a hammock overlooking the garden. They have a kitchenette with a microwave oven and a coffee kit to let you cook by yourself. A fan, telephone with direct access for international dialling, a paid safe and a shower in the bathrooms complement the amenities. There is no room-service, nor television or mini-bar.
Built in 1991, the hotel has 33 rooms spread over 2 small buildings and 6 bungalows rising on one floor. The buildings are lined up with large white roughcast and covered with a roof of palm leaves, which gives them a very exotic appearance. They are organised around a narrow aisle lined up with trees and tropical plants that lead down to the beach.
At the end of the hotel the public beach of Playa del Carmen extends bordering the town centre. Terraces of cafés, hammocks, restaurants, bars and small hotels line up all along. It is therefore very lively. The sand is fine and the waters of the shoreline are pristine clear turning off to a gradient of blue turquoise. The site is guarded.
The Albatros is a simple and charming hotel yet quite modest. It does not provide a restaurant, but with the town centre being very close, it abounds in facilities of all kinds. This friendly place attracts independent travellers, small groups of friends and young couples who wish to alternate the rest, discovery the region and festivity in this large and trendy seaside village.

A hotel of modest style, the Pelicano Inn is a good starting point for exploring the region. During the day culture, sports and nature reign. In the evening, go to the beach, which is nearby. At night, the feast continues with nightlife in Playa del Carmen.

The Caribbean Paradise is a small hotel that benefits from simple animations of the bustling seaside town of Playa del Carmen, where it is located in the town centre. But you should appreciate its Spartan comfort. It is a good stopover place for a few days.

This is a small, basic hotel with very limited facilities, although the atmosphere is friendly. Here, you can go diving all day long and enjoy the school just on the ground floor run by the enthusiastic French owners.
As a medium-capacity club hotel, the Real Playa del Carmen has an advantageous location at the heart of Playa del Carmen, and offers a varied activity programme. It offers quite a contrasting quality of services and facilities: whilst the location and the choice in terms of the food available are very good, the smallness of the swimming pool and the narrowness of the bedrooms, on the other hand, are lamentable.

Next to Fifth avenue in Playa del Carmen, Las Golondrinas is a small, nicely decorated family hotel. As it offers few services, this posada is an ideal pied-a-terre where you can simply enjoy the lively sea resort, famous for its beaches and shopping facilities.
