Hacienda Del Caribe sits in central Playa del Carmen, about two blocks from the beach and close to the ferry dock and 5th Avenue. Rooms carry a rustic Mexican-hacienda style, individually decorated with local artwork reminiscent of Diego Rivera's paintings, and each comes with cable TV, a telephone, and a seating area. The hotel has an outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi in the lobby and pool areas, along with a tour desk that can arrange trips such as visits to the Tulum ruins. The setting suits travelers who want a walkable, character-filled base in the center of town rather than a large resort.
