Recent $16M reno nails it with Missoni-style patterns, vibrant orange ping-pong tables & cobalt blue billiard tables.

Steps from the two main reasons you’re here: the beach and the happenin’ 5th Avenue. Split your time accordingly.

Perched on the peaceful (new!) 5th Avenue, away from the noisy nightlife and a 5-min walk to the market.

The magic in the name kinda says it all. Outdoor pool. Zen Blue Spa. Brazilian steakhouse. (It’s official. They’ve thought of everything.)

It's all about the beach. It is enormous and a stunner.

Spanish for “Red Queen,” she’d surely stay here, with its quirky red and black rooms and mannequins throughout.

Easy access to prime retail therapy. Who needs packing?

Spectacular, yet simple – just one block off lively 5th Avenue in the heart.

All-inclusive stay with a bevy of onsite eateries lets ya enjoy everything from local dishes to international fare.

Bright and airy contemporary hotel steps from the beach and minutes from Mario Villanueva Stadium Madrid.

Private gated beach and golf community with fab beaches, a full-service marina and signature golf course designed by Tom Lehman.

Steps from the white sand & turquoise sea and in the thick of the 5th Ave action.

Beautiful resort stretching out along a broad swath of private beach. The design is bright and wide open. You'll be sighing a lot.

The stylish en suite decor takes notes from Mexico’s rich culture.

Pool area’s prime for unwinding, featuring a swim-up bar, a serenely Asian-inspo’d ‘tude and plenty of loungers.

Sparkling pool meanders throughout the property (it looks aalllllmost as relaxed as we feel).

Within 240 acres of tropical forest lushness on the shoreline, with so many waterways it’s called the Venice of the Caribbean.

Just a block from the famed 5th Avenue of Playa del Carmen. And of course, right by the water, too.

Mere blocks to the sands, retail therapy on 5th Av & a bevy of stellar eats.

‘Grand’ indeed — lush gardens, 12 swimming pools, water sports, kids' activities, tennis and more.

Simply gooooorgeous waterside locale, and you'll be loving the 5(!) pools: we'll go for the infinity and the lazy river, thank you.

Easy access to the beach (if you can tear yourself away from the lounge-worthy outdoor pool area, that is).

Once you’ve hit up the spa, relax even further at the beach or by one of the 6 pools.
