From the very beginning, we had a positive experience with Playa Maya. The reservation process was easy and friendly. Stephen had great communication with us. When we arrived late one afternoon, we were greeted by a friendly smile from Maria, and Sergio offered to take my husband to find safe parking for the week. Sergio was a great help with... More

I really wanted to like this hotel especially after reading all the great reviews and hearing wonderful things from a friend of mine who had stayed there. I am going to write a review so as to manage expectations for anyone considering staying here. These are things that I would have liked to know before booking. To start the location... More

Well thank you for your comments, we're just very sorry to hear that you weren't "wowed" by your stay with us! Of course every guest has different tastes and it's not realistic to think we can fully satisfy each one. However we were surprised by your complaints since we didn't hear from you about any of them here on site,... More

We stayed 7 nights and loved every minute. The staff is awesome, and the included breakfast every morning is awesome. You have to walk through the sand every time you come & go, but you get used to it. Just take your shoes off. The beach is nice, great central location.

We returned from our trip to Playa two weeks ago and we are already missing it, partly due to our perfect stay at Playa Maya. We were there 9 nights and in that time I cannot think of one negative thing to say about the hotel. Booking was easy and Stephen was very patient with all my questions before booking.... More

This hotel was right on the beach, and was everything it advertised itself to be. Low maintenance, clean and just lovely. Breakfast on the sand each morning was a real treat. Filtered water provided each day. You don't often find hotels like this anymore so this is a real gem!

When we initially looked at staying at Play Maya, I was suspicious whether the positive reviews were real. After staying for a week at the end of April, we can say that for the most part, the reviews are accurate. There’s nothing fancy about the hotel or accommodations. You get a clean room, excellent maid service with be bed art,... More

Liked being high. Small fridge in room. Filtered water available. Food: Great moderately priced food. Coconut shrimp to die for here plus the seafood tostadas.... More

Playa Maya is a little hard to find but well worth the search. This hotel has excellent service, rooms are very nice and beds are very comfortable. A short walk down the beach from 8 th. Street brings you to their lobby. Would highly recommend to any visiting Playa del Carmen.
