February 17, 2021 at 3:36 pmSarah,
Thank you for the blog!
My wife and I vacation in the Caribbean with another couple every 2 years. In fact we were together at excellence Rivera maya for their engagement and for their honeymoon at the couples negril in Jamaica. We all are in our mid 40’s.
We all now would like to experience playa del Carmen.
The three resorts we like are paradisus, playacar palace, and secrets maroma. I even see you suggest the royal. We stayed at the royal in Cancun and liked that too.
They are all similarly priced. Paradisus seems less expensive than the others but we would probably get the swim out so that puts them equal.
We like hanging at the pool most of the time but would also take advantage of the beach. We like it to be lively and fun but not obnoxious. We like dining at night so food quality is important. We also love to shop and walk around town so being close is ideal (10 min walk or 20 min cab ride is acceptable).
Would you be willing to share any recommendations or thoughts on resorts in playa del Carmen for late May?
Thanks!

February 19, 2021 at 9:21 amHi Alan, my pleasure. 🙂 Everyone should experience Playa at least once in their lifetime. The Royal is not “The Hilton” just FYI. Out of the ones you mentioned go for Secrets Maroma! 🙂 Paradisus is one big kid-friendly hotel now so if it’s peace and quiet you’re after it’s a no. And out of Playacar Palace and Secrets Maroma, Secrets is the clear winner for me. It’s amazing and the beach? WOW. It’s a bit further out of town though, so all round I would say the Hilton is the best option as no taxis necessary but the beach isn’t as nice yet it’s only a 20 min walk to Playacar beach which is sublime. Hope that helps talk to us at customercare@playadelcarmen.com to get the best deal package.
