Hotel Barrio Latino has operated in Playa del Carmen's original Old Town since 1997, built around a tropical garden courtyard with hand-built, adobe-style decor from local artisans. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, ceiling fans, fridges and hammocks, and most face the central garden. The hotel is roughly 591 feet from Fifth Avenue and includes a rooftop restaurant, 24-hour reception, an EV charging point and paid parking. It is aimed at independent travelers on a budget, with reduced-rate amenities and a relaxed, low-frills approach to service.
