Playa del Carmen Travel Forum

Can anyone help me, I am trying to suprise my hubby of 25 years with a vacation in Playa del Carmen. I would like a really beautiful resort with clean rooms, top shelf food and liquor, AI. I have heard so many horror stories! We have stayed at the Melia in Cozumel and at RIU Bachata in the Dominican, both were very clean with very nice staff....but really BAD wine, only fair food and no top shelf liquor. I will admit to being picky, but when you have been married to the same man for 25 years and still want to go on a romantic 25th anniversary trip it should be wonderful. Our plans are for June, 2008. Thanks, PamelaH

Pamela,

A few years ago I attended a wedding at the Iberostar Quetzal in Playa Del Carmen. It was a great weekend, I don't remember if they had top shelf liquor (probably did this was a wedding of drinkers) but the food really good, with plenty of choices of places to eat. It is all inclusive. My friend and I decided to stay on the property the whole trip, but many wedding attendees ventured out for great excursions. The rooms were beautiful, bathrooms were HUGE, there's a safe in each room.

OH and we went in July or August...it was hot as anything! (and this is coming from someone how lived in South Florida for 10 years!) June should be ok though.

Congratulations on 25 years of marriage! My parents are about to hit 40 this summer!

The Royal Hideaway is probably the best.
