Travel to Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is located just south of Cancun on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The city is a popular hotspot for travelers who want to hit the beach during the day and dance all night. With Orbitz.com, you can book the best Playa del Carmen hotels and find deals on flights or local event tickets.

City Center

Although Cancun proper is not very big, the city center is where the action happens. Here, you’ll find an endless supply of souvenir shops, restaurants and bars. If you are looking to dance late into the night, this is the place to be; the bulk of Playa del Carmen’s many nightclubs are headquartered in the center of town. The area also offers easy access to the beach, ferry port and central bus station, which is convenient if you are traveling to other locations around Mexico. If you are looking for a beachfront getaway, book a room at the Playa Palms Beach Front Condo Hotel. This beautiful hotel sits on a wide stretch of white-sand beach, and many of the rooms have views of the ocean. It offers a variety of suites and studios, a tropical garden and a private pool for the days when you want to sit in the sun away from the beach. Plus, you can enjoy your vacation on the hotel’s private hammocks or terraces, and enjoy the complimentary breakfast with a view of the water. Rooms start at $105 per night; call the hotel at 01-888-676-4431 for details. For a hotel that provides an oasis in the center of the Playa del Carmen action, check out the Aventura Mexicana. This hotel is located just a block from the center of town, so you have easy access to the major attractions without the noise. The highlight of the property is the lush central courtyard, which includes a private pool and numerous sun loungers. Guests can take advantage of the wireless Internet, on-site restaurant and discounted health spa passes. Rooms start at $60 per night. Find out more by calling the hotel at 1-800-537-4197.

North Playa del Carmen

If you want to experience a quiet, relaxing retreat away from the chaos of downtown Playa del Carmen, check out the beachfront neighborhood to the north of town. This area is home to private residences and a number of resorts. The picturesque streets offer the perfect opportunity for afternoon walks, and you can get to town by walking down the beach. If you’re looking for an adults-only experience, one of the most luxurious accommodation options is the Paradisus Playa del Carmen - La Perla, which does not allow children. The resort is all-inclusive, so you don’t need to worry about carrying cash or choosing a restaurant. Here, you’ll find a large private pool and a white-sand beach, both with cabanas and sun loungers. There are 14 restaurants and eight bars on-site, and guests can choose from a variety of activities like dance lessons. Each floor includes a personal butler, and the resort has an on-site spa with a full range of massages and treatments. If you’re looking to relax in the sun, the pool includes a swim-up bar.
