Adults Only | ★★★★★

Take your vow renewals in downtown Playa del Carmen at the celebrated Hilton Hotel!
Just a stone’s throw for 5th avenue this option allows you to be in the heart of all the tropical action.
If you have visited the region before you will know that many of the hotels are located along the highway often secluded by a remote jungle with not much else going on around them.
Meaning you have to take a taxi to reach a nearby by town or city.
Not at this hotel!
The Royal is at the heart of this quaint coastal town.
Teeming with quaint bars, shops, restaurants, museums, and more. Playa del Carmen is much smaller than Cancun. It’s a walkable city, offering a much more relaxed and tropical vibe.

February 20, 2022 at 10:15 pmHi,
My husband and I have been married 20 years and are looking for a super simple vow renewal – nothing religious or official – we are already married – but something in bare feet on the sand with a few pictures. It would be just us two or we may bring our two two kids (11 and 17). We live in LA so don’t want to travel too far and are hoping for a long weekend. We do like nice hotels and decent champagne but doesn’t have to be the 4 seasons… Any advice? Thanks!
