Right?
No dirty diapers,ย no high pitched screaming, no little fingers in the buffet food.
Nope. None of that.
The following areย adults-only resorts in Playa del Carmenย for those of us aged 18 years and older.

Top 10 Adults-Only Hotels inย Playa del Carmen
Note: If you’ve been searching for adults-only resorts in Playa del Carmen, no doubt Google presented an abundance of options.
But Google lied to you.
As smart as Google is, not all these options are actually IN Playa del Carmen.
So yes, you’ve been misled.
I only realized that when I moved here and got my bearings. Cancun and the towns that make up the Riviera Maya are all VERY different.
So the list below covers our favorite resorts in Playa del Carmen.

Here’s what’s sweet:
The Hilton has one of the best hotel locations in town: right on the beach and just a short walk from all the action on 5th Avenue. Add to that in-suite Jacuzzis in every room, excellent food and drinks and a world-class spa, and youโve just found your next home away from home.
