My husband and I were married in July in Cozumel, which we have been to many times and love. After the guests left, we wanted a change of scenery so decided to stay in Playa del Carmen. We found Playa Maya through Fodor's travel website and were not disapointed! The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and... more

We stayed in the family deluxe rooms. They are large rooms with a refrigerator and safe. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Excellent location for either the beach, the ferry to Cozumel and all the activities on 5th street. For those renting a car, a self park 24 hour lot is on 10th street near fourth at a... more

My husband and some friends stayed at Playa-Maya over the Fourth of July holiday. Great hotel! It was very HOT but the rooms were very cool and clean. The staff was very accomodating and always there to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Once you leave the resort is a different story. You see how much poverty there is in... more

I just returned from a trip to Playa Del Carmen and I had an excellent experience with Playa Maya. There were some bads but they are not at all important compared to all of the wonderful things about the hotel. I stayed at the hotel from July 11th-19th. First, all of the goods!! The minute you arrive, people are jumping... more

Thanks very much for your comments. So glad to hear that you did have such a smooth experience with Dita, and that you did not encounter ants, even in your 3 rooms on 2 different levels. We had also noticed that the issue seems very limited to a couple of specific rooms, indicating perhaps that it's related to a higher...

My boyfriend and I stayed at Playa Maya for 8 nights ( July 7th - 15th ) earlier this month. After reading all of the Trip Advisor reviews we were excited about our stay and figured that this hotel would be perfect since Playa from what I remembered was a very quaint simple town. I'll start with the good. The... more

Well we're happy that you still found your stay enjoyable overall but sorry that you had this batch of negative experiences during your stay. Please allow me to respond to some of them here. I can only say that your experience with Dita, while not unique, is very unusual indeed, given what we have seen ourselves firsthand and what our...

We stayed at the Playa Maya for a week in June in a superior ocean view room on the 3rd floor. It is a great little hotel, the staff are very courteous and helpful. The rooms are lovely, basic but kept incredibly clean with a fridge for your beer, flatscreen tv for when its raining (only rained for one day!)... more

Just back from a 3 day stay at Playa Maya, and it was great! Clean well appointed rooms, with amazing views from the room balcony. We had one of the small baclony rooms, $125 per night. AC was great, but you also have the benefit of a constant sea breeze. Included breakfast was terrific and we loved the way that... more

We stayed 6 nights at Hotel Playa Maya in early June (6/4 -6/10). We picked this hotel based on all the positive reviews posted at TripAdvisor and also based on its size and convenient location, right at the beach. The hotel certainly met our needs and more! It is a quiet, small, cozy, well maintained 3-story hotel with a lot... more

I have nothing negative to say about Playa Maya. It was very affordable, very cute, clean and the staff really made us feel welcome and more than anything, at home. I think right off the bat that is the number one plus in my book. The staff was very accommodating, as we saw many of the same faces each day.... more
