Playa Maya Review

Of the beach hotels in downtown Playa, this one would be my first choice. There are a lot of reasons to like it (good location, good price, comfortable rooms, and friendly and helpful management), but one thing that really strikes my fancy is that you enter this hotel from the beach. This little, seemingly inconsequential detail shouldn't be any reason for picking a hotel, but it just sets the mood and creates a little separation from the busy street scene. What's more, the design and location make it a quiet hotel; it's a couple of blocks from the nearest live-music venue and sheltered by the neighboring hotels. The pool and sunning terrace are attractive and nicely set apart. Rooms are large, with midsize bathrooms; a couple of them have private garden terraces with Jacuzzis, while others have balconies that face the beach. High-season rates at Playa Maya extend from Christmas through August.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; Jacuzzi; outdoor pool; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
