Thompson Playa del Carmen Main House

Thompson Playa del Carmen | Best places to stay in Playa del Carmen

"Split between a downtown party hotel and a more intimate beach house, the Thompson feels very Miami. In the downtown hotel catering to a singles scene, rooms sit behind a sinuous rooftop sundeck and infinity pool looking out over the skyline to the ocean, with a sultry bar. In the couplesy beach house, the best have private balconies and Jacuzzis. In both locations interiors are clean, modern showcases for ocean views – seen through wall-high glass. And both areas are poised to catch the sunset and serve hangover-cure-large breakfasts. Frida Kahlo art and Panama hats are sprinkled across the walls in the public areas and the bar – which offers tequila tastings and great margaritas – to get guests in the mood. " - Alex Robinson
