Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen - Downtown House & Beach House

Good stay for a few days at this hotel in Playa del Carmen in early June to decompress after diving both on Cozumel and the cenotes south of Playa. Nice location in the middle of a lot of activity — shops, restaurants, bars, etc. But the room was quiet and not noisy at all. The hotel is a few blocks off the ocean but beach activites this time of year are undermined by seaweed infestation. (The seaweed problem is especially bad south of the Cancun hotel strip to Tulum sometimes beginning as early as April and sometimes lasting until October.) The service at the hotel was excellent. My room rate came with an American breakfast each day which was very good. The hotel has less than 100 rooms and has a boutique feel. There are two floors of rooms and an expansive rooftop with a pool, bar, and restaurant. The menu is limited but the food was fine. The pool service was very good. The fitness center is paltry but it wasn’t a problem for me b/c no one else was in there when I used it.

Hotel was clean, centrally located, and the pool was gorgeous!

The location was amazing! Plenty of restaurants within a 5 minute walk and really lively. The staff were so helpful and I appreciated the attention to detail by the housekeeping staff. Front desk employees were also great and helped with directions and booking a taxi to the airport for an early morning flight. Rooms were spacious and the pool was stunning! Loved my stay here.

5 stars just the only thing is I had to pay taxes eve
