We stayed at the Playacar Palace after our travel agent offered us a last minute "upgrade." We were suppose to be staying at the Grand Sunset Princess and because of the many negative reviews they were getting we took our agents offer to switch resorts. When we arrived the check -in was very pleasant and quick with a welcome drink.... more

The hotel has about 208 rooms with extremely great service. The staff cannot do enough to make sure that your evey wish is filled. The entertainment by the pool during the day is great and so are the evening shows and entertainment! I usually stay at a larger resort, but this one is hard to beat from the inroom jacuzzi,... more

We have been to this hotel in August 2001 (Hotel Continental Plaza Playacar) and in July 2008. Ownership has changed for the better and the hotel is now all-inclusive. The service was outstanding. The kids (6 and 8 years old) loved the Kid's Club. There were many activities around the pool. The room (# 100) was great and clean. From... more

I have traveled to Cancun / Playa del Carmen region numerous times. Based upon reviews I have read on Trip Advisor, we selected the Playacar Place for our destination wedding - sight unseen. We were not disappointed. Service was outstanding, including the flexability of staff (which is rare). We also went to Cozumel Place - very nice also, but we... more

Together with my husband and 3 kids (5,7,9) and 9 other family members, we spent a wonderful week at the Playacar Palace. We arrived 7/5 and returned 7/12/08. The location cannot be beat, close to Xel-Ha, Xcaret, Tulum and others. When we booked the Playacar Palace we were concerned about the lack of a sandy beach. According to resort personnel,... more

We just returned from the Playacar Palace in Playa Del Carmen. We were there from 21 - 28 June and it is absolutely the friendliest of anywhere we have ever stayed. The staff and all personnel are genuine in their desire to please you. The hostesses at the restaurant are incredible. Although there are 200 + rooms, they remembered our... more
