Playacar Palace All Inclusive

Everything about this hotel is amazing, might even be better than our stay at Moon Palace. Despite the negative comments about the buffet, the food is nutritious and delicious. All the restaurants are great and the service is outstanding. The only bad thing about this place is that the beaches are covered with algae. Overall, we would definitely go to this hotel again.

This was the best experience I have ever had in a hotel! The staff was amazing! Super friendly, helpful they made me feel at home. The room had an amazing view of the ocean and pool. I couldn't have asked for a better location! It was next to the mall and the Plaza, the ferry to Cozumel was right next door. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to travel to Playa Del Carmen.

I recently stayed at this 5-star resort for my honeymoon, and I have to say, it was a huge disappointment. The resort promises 5 stars, but in reality, it's far from it. The prices are seriously overpriced for what you get. The only good thing about this resort was the dinner reservation restaurants. We had a good experience dining at them. However, that's about where the positives end. From the moment we arrived, the service was terrible. We felt like we were treated unfairly compared to older couples - they got help with luggage and a resort tour, but we didn't. We had booked a honeymoon suite, but the front desk guy, Abraham, gave us a dirty room with no view on the outskirts of the resort. When I complained, he didn't call his supervisor as requested and instead gave us another room, but not the one we paid for. To make matters worse, our room had constant alarm disruptions past midnight, and we had no privacy. We felt harassed. What's even more frustrating is that Abraham offered to upgrade us to a bigger suite at check-in, but it wasn't free. He wanted to upsell us when we had already paid a lot for our vacation. The food was a letdown too. At the buffet, staff rarely checked in on us or offered drinks. We had to ask just to receive water. The pool lunch area was slightly better, but overall, the experience was still not great. The resort itself was not well-maintained - dirty interior, dirty glass doors, and not enough seating. The beach was closed due to seaweed, that’s that we went towards the end of June. and there weren't enough entertainment options. The ambiance was completely lacking. Overall, I would not recommend this resort to anyone. Save your money and choose another resort to stay at. Our honeymoon was a very unsatisfactory and unhappy experience because of this resort."
