Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only
This was a beautiful property from the moment you arrive at the front entrance to the lobby and room! The staff was friendly throughout the whole visit. Personally my only downside was the food was not the best in taste or quality even from the steakhouse to the buffet but for the price and the experience ...

Rooftop pool area was nice, Room was nice, cool and clean. Front desk was also very nice and helpful. Walkable to 5th Ave but not so close were street noise may bother you while trying to sleep.

Meliora By Bunik
staff was kind and it was a nice overall place/ convenient location. only things that need to mention is the tv kept disconnecting from wifi every 10 minutes, the walls are very thin so we kept getting woken up, and the water pressure wasn’t great.
