Nice hotel close to beaches

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Hotels in Playa are different than one might expect coming from the USA. If you want luxury, pick an American style hotel. Rooms are small and not luxurious. Still, this is a very nice hotel with a lovely garden. The staff speaks English and can guide you to activities around the area very well. The rooms are clean and inexpensive. It is close to lots of restaurants. There is a pool, but we did not use it because we wanted to be in the ocean. We had a problem with our door knob and reported it. It was fixed while we were out for the day. You can actually see the beach from the street and some diving/snorkeling shops are right across the street. We would go back.

Kinbe is perfect botique hotel

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet, super close to beach, right off 5th ave
My husband and I took our first trip ever to Playa in 2004, and stayed at Kinbe before the rennovation. We returned after the remodel and stayed there the first three nights and the other two at an all inclusive near Xel-ha. Kinbe is the perfect botique hotel, cozy with friendly staff. Property is clean and lush green jungle like garden. We didn't swim in the pool, but it is such a nice feature. The beach is soo close and you can byob or walk down to a beach bar. Be sure to check out the rooftop, very intimate and nice place to take your own drinks and just relax. However, the view isn't as spectacular since much more has been built since 2004, it's a little harder to see the ocean. The "pretty room" is small, no t.v., but we didn't spend much time in the room. Why would you when you could just do that at home? GET TO THE BEACH! We're returning to vacation in January and will stay here again a few nights. It's a tradition! We love Kinbe! You should for sure stay there!
