Apartment-sized space in the heart of Playa
Suites Corazón is in the Centro neighborhood, on Calle 14 Norte at the corner of Avenida 10. Fifth Avenue, with its shops, restaurants and bars, is a two-minute walk; the main beach and Mamitas Beach are five or six minutes away. The ADO bus station on Calle 12 is about 300 meters off, so you can walk over with your suitcase.
It's a small four-story building that feels more like an apartment than a hotel: suites run from 32 to 55 m² (about 345 to 590 sq ft) with a kitchenette, a sitting area and, in many, a balcony. Guests point out that even though it's a block from the bar strip, nights are quiet. On Expedia, cleanliness and location both score 9.4.

Fifth Avenue, beaches, cenotes and Cozumel
Playa del Carmen is a walkable beach town with the Riviera Maya on its doorstep. Distances are in a straight line from the hotel; parks, cenotes and ruins to the south are an easy drive or bus ride away.
Quinta Avenida · 2 min walk
Fifth Avenue is the pedestrian heart of town: about 4 km of shops, cafés, taco stands and bars running parallel to the sea. Quietest in the morning, liveliest after dark.
The beach · 0.6 km
Soft white sand all along the town. The stretch north of Calle 12, around Mamitas, has beach clubs; the area south of the ferry pier is calmer.
Ferry to Cozumel · 0.9 km
Fast ferries leave from the pier next to Parque Fundadores several times a day. The crossing takes 35 to 45 minutes; Cozumel's reefs are among the best for snorkeling in Mexico.
Cenotes of the Riviera Maya
Freshwater sinkholes for swimming and snorkeling: Cenote Azul and Jardín del Edén are about 20 minutes south by car, and Dos Ojos (in the photo) is near Tulum.
Xcaret and Xplor · 7.2 km
The two big eco-parks are just south of town: underground rivers, Mayan culture and an evening show at Xcaret; ziplines and caves at Xplor. Plan a full day for each.
Tulum ruins · 59 km
The Mayan walled city on a cliff above the Caribbean, about an hour south by highway. Go early to beat the heat and the tour buses.
