Pelicano Inn is positioned directly on the beach in Playa del Carmen, just one block from the restaurants, bars, and shops of 5th Avenue. Every room has a private bathroom and air conditioning, and some rooms look out over the ocean. The hotel keeps a 24-hour front desk and offers free Wi-Fi, along with an on-site restaurant and bar for guests who want to eat or drink without leaving the property. Rooms are reached via stairs rather than an elevator, reflecting the property's simpler, older beachfront building.
