Modest inexpensive hotel on the beach
by pjf51 about Pelicano Inn
Well there aren't many ammenities. But that suits me fine. I tip the housekeeping staff daily and got excellent service. Rooms were always clean. On the beach lawnchairs and beach bar.
Great masseus Dr. Roman. Recently air conditioned, no tvs. I have not had any problems with the staff other than some language barriers from time to time. I don't expect the Ritz so I have found my experiences good. I NEVER trave with valuables so I don't have those problems either. Beautiful gardens, on the beach, small quaint. good guac. at the restraunt. Thats about all I've ever eaten there.

Please help me find a good resort/hotel.
by JRJanuszewski
My boyfriend and I are hoping to go to Playa Del Carmen Dec 27-Jan 3. We're not sure where to stay. We're on a bit of a budget but would really like to be in a clean/safe hotel or resort. Any suggestions? Also, when do I need to start booking my trip?
Thanks,
Jen

If you haven't already made your reservations, the Pelicano Inn was a wonderful and not expensive hotel, right in the heart of Playa and on the beach, walking distance to the Cozumel ferry. it's lovely, Mediterranean style, and really does look just like the pics you'll see online. La Parilla Mexican Grill has great food, right up on the corner from the hotel.

The Turquoise Reef Group offers several cheaper and still nice/safe/clean alternatives.
FYI, one of my favorite restaurants there was Palapa Hemingway, just a couple of blocks up to the east. Killer margaritas, and a wonderful seafood kebab.
Have a great trip!

I'm sorry your travel plans have been delayed. We just got back from Playa Del Carmen and although it's getting to be a bit built up, it's still a wonderful place.
I don't know how tight your budget is, but the Blue Parrot offers the most BASIC of all rooms for as low as 49 dollars a night.
The new part of the hotel is just beautiful, and more expensive but the cheap rooms are the old ones that open right onto the sand. They are right on the beach, and you are right in the heart of town.
Xaman-Ha Condos are on the beach two blocks from town, a one bedroom runs about 110 a night with a full kitchen.
I hope you can reschedule soon! It's heaven there!
