The hotel is situated directly on a pristine stretch of white sand beach. You won’t have to worry about finding a spot to relax, as sun loungers and umbrellas are provided free of charge for all guests. The turquoise waters here are generally calm, making it a lovely spot for a dip. If you’re feeling adventurous, the local reef is just a short boat trip away, offering some of the best snorkelling in the region.

As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms with nightly live shows, themed parties, and music that brings the vibrant Mexican spirit to life. For a change of pace, you can take an x-minute walk into the centre of Playa del Carmen to browse the boutiques on Fifth Avenue.
