This hotel is the smallest and the cheapest of the Real chain of hotels. But it is a good choice for the price. Since it's located right on the 5th avenue in Playa del Carmen, you are close to the action in town (because there is not that much action going on at the hotel!)! The beach, located at less... More

This is the third vacation that my wife and I have spent at the Real Playa Del Carmen. We seem to enjoy it more and more every time that we go there. It is a small three star resort with service that exceeds any service that I have found at any five star resorts. We befriended a Doctor and his... More

After having read some of the reviews, we were not sure what to expect. We booked this resort since it offered an all-inclusive package at a great price! We figured that since we were right on 5th Avenue, we'd spend the money we saved on eating dinner out at the many restaurants. 5th Avenue is after all the appeal of... More

If you want a solid base for a vacation you spend mostly on the beach, walking around, in bars, and so on, then this is the place--not on the beach but a short walk away from it. Buffet is nothing exciting, but reliable. Rooms are clean, service is friendly, grounds are well-kept. Quiet location, but keep an eye on how... More
