We were very impressed with the hotel and the strong level of staff customer service!! Very nice rooms and excellent location, beach and ocean. Ocean bottom was great with no rocks. Asian restaurant was super good!! Was also nice to be close to shopping and the Ferry.

First time to Playacar Palace. Property was nice, but not a wow as we had hoped, from an appearance standpoint. The lobby was plain, the rooms were basic looking, but very clean. Where the facility was lacking the staff in many ways made up for it. Eder, pool concierge, was outstanding! He was so helpful and cheerful everyday. He took really good care of us and our friends. Thank you!! The Palace concierge/planner team were good to work with. Paola, Tania and Elvita - between the three of them helped us get everything arranged. Tania did a great job of welcoming in my husbands celebration of his recent retirement. If you want a well made drink and lots of fun options, make sure you find Ezequiel. While we were there he was in the lobby bar for the week. He even got me to try fried grasshoppers! But ask him to make you a bumblebee as they are the best! A great shot to finish wrap up a day out in the sun! If your looking for good insight on the restaurants and what they offer and what to plan for - find Dionicio, he is a waiter that works breakfast and lunch. I had a holistic massage with Nidia, as my massage therapist, she was wonderful. She has a firm but soft touch, her hands just new what my body needed! The food at all the restaurants was excellent! Good selections, presentation was always fun to see. The desserts were great. Loved the 10 course special mayan dinner. Read less

The staff and the service we received was excellent. We especially liked the Bocelli Restaurant. We went there several times and loved the food and our service staff, Ricardo and Selena. The beds were very comfortable and our room had a nice view of the ocean.

We had the most wonderful experience at the Awe Spa today!! Sarah was my massage therapist and what a treat that was!! Next was Nidia and Dulce, they were attentive, funny and provided us with our pedicures and manicures making us feel completely relaxed and pampered!! We can’t wait to return!!

At a recent stay at Playacar Palace, our group had dinner at the Lana Restaurant. Our Waiter Cesario was fantastic and each course was beautifully prepared and artfully arranged by chef Karla Duran. This small restaurant only serves 12-14 at each seating and is worth the trip!
