Be Playa
Hip, modern-bohemian boutique. Bold graphic design, adults-only, lounge-music atmosphere. Not a party hotel, but the rooftop draws outside visitors on weekends.
Upgrade to a Junior or Master Suite to get the in-room jacuzzi and balcony — it's worth the bump
Why It Matters
One of the few all-suite boutique properties in downtown Playa del Carmen listed by both Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. Every room is a proper suite — even the entry-level category. The rooftop infinity pool with its Sushi Club restaurant and signature cocktails is open to non-guests, making it a genuine neighbourhood hangout.
Be Playa is a 23-suite adults-only boutique hotel sitting between Quinta Avenida and the beach in the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen. The design pulls from two worlds: Mayan geometric motifs and the spare, open-air feel of Southeast Asian villa hotels. Clean white walls, white marble floors, and hardwood details throughout. The rooftop pool and Sushi Club are the main reasons to stay here, and yes, outside guests can use the pool during day hours with a minimum drink spend.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Junior Suite
Spacious step-up from the Standard with the addition of an in-room jacuzzi and a private balcony. Choose between king or two queens. Guests who've stayed say the balcony overlooks the pool, which is a good view. The jacuzzi is the real selling point here.
King or two QueenMaster Suite
The top category — a corner room measuring 65 square metres with in-room jacuzzi and balcony. Biggest layout in the hotel, versatile with king or two queen configuration. Same clean marble-and-hardwood design language as the rest of the property, just more of it.
King or two Queen · 65 sqmStandard Suite
The entry-level room is still a proper suite. Comes with a king-size or two queen beds, a spacious shower, flat-screen TV, mini-bar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Decor follows the hotel's clean-white-walls-and-marble aesthetic with hardwood floors. Some rooms overlook a courtyard rather than the street.
