Hotels near Del Sol, Playa del Carmen

I would not recommend this hotel. There was no water supply in the room and electricity supply in the communal area (which means no lift) for our last night of stay. We have to carry our heavy luggage down the stairs at check out. Receptionist promised to refund the money for the last night, but our booking agent said the hotel is not reachable as they never reply to phone calls or emails, so our refund request is still on hold. The hotel committed to proceed with our refund immediately but obviously this is not the case. I am really disappointed with my stay.

This place is nowhere near Paradise! Nightmare is far more like it. Let's start with the room inclusion list: Blackout curtains - YES; Air conditioning - YES; Desk - YES but I had to use the desk for my suitcase as there was nowhere else to put; Private balcony - YES there was a balcony but private? NO! All balconies had full sight of every other balcony left and right; Safe - YES; Refrigerator - NO; Flatscreen TV - YES; Complimentary toiletries - YES I suppose so, if you count two different sample size types of soap and two shower caps; Telephone - NO; Bottled water - NO. I will add to the list - Towels - YES but please see photo of the towel I was provided; Bath Mat - NO; Hand Towel - NO; Cups or Glasses - NO and was told at Reception when checking in that they don't provide either of those or water! However we were advised that we couldn't drink the tap water and told that we could walk a block to buy some water! Breakfast - now this was a doozy! Some sort of cordial water and Americano coffee were included but if you wanted milk you had to pay extra! There were three included options - scrambled eggs (not served with anything else), mixed potatoes and beans or fruit platter. I ordered the fruit platter which was served with a slice of toast, no butter and two tiny pieces of watermelon, two small slices of banana and two tiny pieces of paw paw. See pic which shows the fruit platter served on a dinner plate. They also have the hide to say there is a restaurant on site! More like a third rate cafeteria. The room itself was old and had quite a bit of damage to tiles, walls etc. It was very dark as the lighting was extremely poor. Some of the furniture was broken and the small night light was enclosed in a plastic case that was broken with wires on display! This is probably a place for backpackers who are happy to rough it - not for people who are used to a far better standard. We had been in Mexico for two weeks by the time we arrived at the nightmare, and at every other hotel, there were people to help with suitcases. Not here, just one person on duty for the whole hotel! The only good thing about the place was when we were leaving, there were two women cleaners who offered to help us (two women in their 70s) with carrying our suitcases down two long flights of stairs. We were very grateful and think, and are happy about it, that perhaps the tip we gave them was about a week's wages!

Amazing Exceptional location, the staff is very pleasant and smiling. The meals are of remarkable quality!

Hotel location is very good, shopping street is close by, five minutes walk to the beach, it can be said to be quiet in the middle of trouble, has been recommended to friends, the partition of the balcony is best frosted isolation If the requirements for western food are not so high, this buffet breakfast is still okay. The waiter is very nice. I will take the initiative to ask you for drinks and coffee, and I will take it for you. Of course, I can also take it myself. I love western breakfast so it feels very much satisfaction

We had the best time at Mahekal! It was our second time back and we’re ready to plan our next stay. The rooms are lovely and the amenities are everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Food and drinks are very good (especially compared to other all inclusives in the area), but what stuck out the most to us was the service. Everyone we encountered was more than kind and really made the experience so memorable. Special shoutout to Rosa, Alberto, Luis, Eduardo, Manuel and Gilberto - they are all a dream and we miss them already! Can’t wait to go back.

This was our second vacation trip to the Xcaret Mexico hotel. We really enjoyed the ”ALL fun inclusive” experience, with exclusive transportation and access to ALL Xcaret group parks. We were a family group of 5 rooms, with combination of adults, and adults/children in several of the rooms/suites. We had two concierge services representatives (K.C. and Laura), and they were very attentive and accommodating to our needs, requiring two suite changes to better suit our needs. They also helped us with the restaurants' and parks' reservations (for those which required it), and also with the wheel chair arrangements for my mother-in-law. The restaurants are big, and even though the hotel was fully occupied, we did not feel crowded or had to make lines to enter the restaurants. A most do is the Sunday brunch at the ”Las Cuevas” restaurant. Their meat and seafood offerings were way above what I was expecting, with even a Tuna processing experience made by the chef, ending in a delicious Tuna tartar appetizer. My wife is FULLY vegan (I am not), and we went to their vegan restaurant ”Bio”, and were able to taste almost ALL of their breakfast and lunch menu offerings, with every one having its own palate pleasing taste. Add to that their freshly pressed juices shots, and specialty frozen shakes. By the third day, Xiomara greeted us by our names, and waiter Edgar had known what we already tasted, and ”took care” of us. Kudos to both of them, for understanding and living a true ”costumer service”. This hotel is so well designed, that even there were live bands throughout the lobby and infinity pool areas, the volume was not overwhelming, and you can relax at another area, without it bothering you. Each restaurant had some special drinks, which you can enjoy, so make sure you ask the waiter for the ”special cocktail” of the day. We witnessed two ”destination weddings”, and the open area activities did no interfere with our time to enjoy the hotel amenities, so thank you for that. We even enjoyed another ”shot” of ”free” mariachi's songs while walking near them. On Sunday, we were able to enjoy catholic Sunday mass at the Xpiral chapel. All in all, my family and us had a blast, with ”not enough time” reviews from each and every one of them. We plan on coming back and visit some of the park attractions we did not have time to try, as well as enjoy again the amenities this hotel has to offer its guests. The weather was hot and humid, as it has been in every place in the world at this latitute. Be prepared and drink lots of water! ¡Muchas gracias por poner sus corazones al servicio de sus huéspedes! (”Thanks for putting your hearts into your guests services”).

This is the best value in Playa Del Carmen. The best bang for the buck especially if you’re booking on this app. Good food. Steak restaurant is great too. Everything is clean and modern although not the newest hotel. This is our go to hotel. Only complaint is they stopped including the premium tequila (Don Julio) in the all inclusive

We were incredibly disappointed with this hotel, it looks 5 star but the experience isn’t. We stayed July 2024. On check in, the whole process took over an hour because they had put our reservation down for August…not July. This was eventually resolved and we were given a ‘temporary’ room for a few hours. At this point we were understanding- these things happen and they offered a solution. The man on the check in was pleasant but incredibly slow. We stayed for 4 nights and there is no doubt the setting is wonderful and the rooms were lovely- however breakfast (included) was atrocious and lacking the basics. Bread but no butter or jam etc out, we had to ask every time and often more than one member of staff to eventually get it- often taking over 20 mins. One day there was no buffet at all but no one could explain why. You could order 2 out of the 3 remaining dishes on the menu but you were only allowed one per person. I had pancakes but then had the same fiasco that they came with no syrup and I had to ask 2 members of staff and wait 20 mins to eventually get it. On the Saturday night we stayed there, the hotel decided to throw a party until 2am…. Guests unfortunately were not invited or made aware so we were kept awake for several hours in our room. I went to reception to complain and was told a manager would speak with me in the morning..needless to say they didn’t. Reading between the lines, they host a lot of events for the local community (which is great) but the communication around it was poor and not acceptable for hotel guests. If they had invited hotel guests and offered a drink on the house or something along those lines it would make much more sense. The whole experience was completely bizarre and not worth the price they charged. I would expect this kind of service from a cheap local guesthouse, not a 5 star resort. The staff were not unpleasant at all but poorly organised and lacking basic communication.

This was my second stay at the Westin Cozumel. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, and in a nice location - just a 5-10 taxi ride into town. There are several restaurants that are excellent and just steps away. The private beach and snorkeling steps away is a real plus. The staff is very pleasant and kind, particularly Damian at the front desk. We also enjoyed a massage at the Zazil spa on-site - excellent services with hydrotherapy and very skilled masseuse. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and amazing views. Would recommend! The only I thing i foresee needing an update would be the bathroom tile work - it's starting to look a little dated/ragged. It's a short ride from the airport so, traveling from Houston, we can be on the beach with a drink in hand in under 4 hours. Win. win.
