A United Nations of languages can be heard around the pools, on the beach, and in the restaurants and bars. Downtown Playa del Carmen is within walking distance.
Amenity highlights: Two large pools give guests the option of swimming and sunning activities near the beach, or lounging and relaxing in a quieter setting. The quieter pool includes a children's section and a swim-up bar.
