Hilton Playa del Carmen an All-Inclusive Resort - Adults only

Exclusively for adults with a prime spot overlooking Mexico’s sun-drenched coast, Caribbean dips are never more than a couple of steps away at the Hilton Playa del Carmen. Perfect for couples and newlyweds, this hotel is the epitome of all-inclusive luxury. Guests will get a choice of seven restaurants, two outdoor pools and access to a world-class spa.

Stays here can be as slow-paced or action-packed as you want them to be. Keep cool under the tropical heat and bag yourself a cabana by the resort’s sprawling pool, or unwind with a lengthy soak in the outdoor hot tub. A spa day is another great way to relax - and it’ll be worth more than one visit! Get that glowing holiday skin and book yourself in for a 50-minute Blueberry Antioxidant Facial. Looking for something a little different? Then, you can’t leave without trying a traditional Mesoamerican stone steam bath.

There are just as many ways to keep active too thanks to the jam-packed activity programme. When you’re not sweating it out at the gym, you’ve got a choice of fun fitness classes. Enjoy an intense spinning class, or see if you have what it takes to dance the salsa or merengue. And did we mention there’s a rooftop tennis court?

After you’ve finished your workout, hit the hotel’s restaurants for a calorific treat. Alongside a buffet spread, find a spot specialising in Asian fare, another serving a fusion of Caribbean flavours and Chef’s Plate, which is by far the fanciest of them all with its beautifully plated dishes. There are also three Mexican eateries where you’ll get to indulge in some of the finest local dishes. As for drinks, the swim-up bar should be your go-to during the day, while Tequileria has evenings covered with its huge selection of tequila.

When it’s time to retire for the night, you can expect premium perks as standard in your room, including a double jetted tub, a private balcony and plush bathrobes. You’ll have a choice of views too with suites overlooking the garden, pool and ocean as well as swanky swim-up options. For the ultimate upgrade, book the presidential suite, which boasts a private rooftop terrace featuring a pool and bar.

If you manage to pull yourself away from the hotel, 5th Avenue should be your first stop. Just a 5-minute walk away, this car-free stretch is a shopping hotspot during the day. But it’s equally as atmospheric in the evening with its trendy bars, nightclubs and taco stands. You’re also day-trip distance to Cozumel Island, a must-see for keen divers. As part of the second-largest barrier reef, it’s home to some of the world’s most incredible underwater scenery.
