Just returning from our first visit to Playacar Palace with our family of 2 parents and 11 yo and 13yo. 11 yo said of the pool experience, “if you need something, they have it.” That sums up my feelings about hotel. We had a great waiter for breakfast every day in Porfirio. He was kind and welcoming and encouraged our efforts at Spanish. Merecedes gave me a wonderful massage that I booked with resort credits - the whole spa experience was lovely. We went to Dolphin Adventure, Mayan Adventure for snorkeling and cenote swimming, and took the ferry to Cozumel and explored the beaches for one day. All were great experiences facilitated by Gladis at Playacar. Two special shout outs: to Dalia at the front desk who helped me track down my missing prescription sunglasses at Cozumel Palace and to the waiter at Momo who was so helpful and accommodating when my daughter got sick and had to leave our teppanyaki reserved evening (his name might have been Arnold or Armand). We’ve never done a trip like this but really loved it and felt well cared for. 13 yo said “there wasn’t anything I didn’t like” and we agree! Read less

I have never been so impressed by Pedro's supreme service. His sunny disposition was a welcome surprise while providing excellent customer service. He was quick to attend to our every request and need.
