Where to stay in Playa del Carmen and still feel like you’re in the heart of it all? Suites Corazon nails it. With spacious rooms and an unbeatable location, it’s where you want to be if you’re after a homey yet stylish vibe.
Finding a decent place to stay in Playa del Carmen is like searching for the perfect pair of sandals—too cheap, and you’ll end up blistered. Too expensive, and you’ll be counting pennies for the rest of your trip.
But fret not, I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. I’ve hunted down a few spots that strike that elusive balance between comfort, convenience, and a dash of luxury.
Sure, they’re not the cheapest options (this isn’t a hostel crawl, after all), but they’re places that won’t leave you wishing you’d spent your cash on a slightly less fancy taco.
From beachside escapes to rooftop hideaways, these are my top picks for a stay you won’t regret—or forget.
Suites Corazon
Suites Corazon is a gem nestled right in the heart of Playa del Carmen, and it’s perfect for those who want to be in the thick of things without being trampled by tourists every time they step out the door.
A short walk from the beach, and even closer to 5th Avenue, where you can shop until your credit card cries for mercy. Inside the suites, things are no less impressive—cool, modern design with all the usual amenities, plus a mini-fridge and microwave to stash your snacks when you need a break from tacos (if that’s even possible).
And let’s not forget—there’s a balcony for those moments when you just want to sip a drink and pretend you’re a movie star. Click to view the images >>
Luxury 5th Avenue Menesse 32
If you like your stays with a side of luxury, look no further than Luxury 5th Avenue Menesse 32. This isn’t just an apartment—this is an experience.
You get a full kitchen (not that you’ll ever use it, because there’s excellent food right outside your door), a rooftop pool, and enough space to hold a small party. The decor is sleek and modern, and the real cherry on top is the Nintendo Wii in some of the rooms—because when you’ve spent all day lounging by the pool, there’s no better way to wind down than with a bit of Mario Kart.
Just be careful—this place might make you think you’re living the dream, and trust me, reality can be a bit of a downer. Click to view the images >>
