WYNDHAM ALLTRA PLAYA DEL CARMEN IS A TERRIFIC HOTEL - I AM STUNNED. Wyndham Alltra is perfectly located in the heart of downtown Playa Del Carmen and only 45 minutes away from the Cancun Airport.
I also stayed at Hilton Playa Del Carmen & Paridisus La Perla, two other great Adult-Only All-Inclusive resorts in Playa Del Carmen - Wyndham Alltra had the better food, location, and staff! Plus, it is cheaper than Paradisus & Hilton.
This vibrant adults-only paradise resort is ideally located on the Caribbean Sea just steps away from the famed Fifth Avenue’s shops, clubs and restaurants. From fun activities like beach volleyball and wine tasting to oceanfront swimming pools with waiter service, fill your day with as much or as little action as you’d like. Dining and drinks are always included, so savor world-class cuisine at delicious restaurants and sip craft cocktails from cool and comfortable bars and lounges. After the night’s live entertainment, retire to your peaceful accommodations, all featuring a private terrace, and get rested for the tropical pleasures tomorrow will bring.
Revel in an adults-only paradise along the idyllic Riviera Maya, steps from a breathtaking beach, fantastic shopping along 5th Avenue, and vibrant nightlife. Just 55 kilometers (34 miles) from Cancun International Airport (CUN), Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, Adults Only All Inclusive offers the ultimate carefree vacation with unlimited gourmet dining and creative cocktails as well as a state-of-the-art fitness center, daily activities like beachfront yoga and aqua aerobics, and nightly entertainment. Take a dip in the sparkling pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the warm white sand, or get pampered at the full-service spa and salon. After a day of sunning, shopping, or sightseeing, you’ll love retreating to one of our 287 non-smoking rooms and suites, featuring a balcony or terrace for savoring the sunset and thoughtful conveniences like a fully stocked minibar, complimentary bath products, and free WiFi. If you want to book an excursion to Cozumel or snag a table at the hottest club, our friendly, multilingual staff are always on standby to ensure you have the vacation you’ve been dreaming about.
ACCOMODATIONS
Contemporary and stylish, Wyndham Alltra’s luxe accommodations are designed with everything you need for a good night’s rest and then some. This is your home away from home, so we’ve made it as comfortable as possible with personal touches, stocked minibars, furnished terraces and room service available from 7:00 am - 11:00 pm.
DINING & DRINKS
At Wyndham Alltra, each meal is one to remember-one that ignites your senses with fresh ingredients, secret recipes, vibrant flavors and unexpected presentation. Imaginative à la carte restaurants, artisanal buffets, beachside grills, cool bars and 24-hour lounges guarantee boundless options to wine and dine. From classic American favorites to authentic Mexican fare, the options are endless and the experiences extraordinary. Did we mention it’s all included?
AURA SPA
Melt your cares away with an invigorating massage, Mayan-inspired treatment or the hydrotherapy circuit at this wellness retreat, offering an array of spa and beauty service to designed to refresh and revitalize both mind and body.

Just got back from here yesterday and i am happy to report that the beach has been much improved since this was filmed. It looks like the sea washes it away from time to time and thus requires regular maintenance which has taken place. As of Feb 2024 is has been corrected and is now swimmable. I sat out on said beach every morning and drank my coffee while watching the sunrise. The only Issue remaining is the sea weed but the staff does tidy that up throughout the week as well and of my 7 days at the resort, only one day the beach was unusable due to sea weed. Anyways, rant over, this place was very very good for the money. Would return 100%.

Also because the beach is we’ll call it a work in progress is there one near by say walking distance? Thanks in advance keep up the good work!

@T-roccBABY 8 ай бұрын

Hey man, I'm curious myself. Now that you've been, can we get an update on how it went for you? I am suspicious about how all inclusives advertise vs how they actually act once you're there. Example, they advertise no limits on a la carte, but then they say you only get a few reservations to work with. Also, I'm looking to do some excursions to ruins and cenotes. I've heard there shouldn't be issues getting a concierge to arrange this for you, but I also hear that if you ignore their timeshare schtick they'll act like assholes for the rest of your stay. I've never been to a place like this so I don't know what to expect honestly. I'm between resorts: xcaret, iberostar, ocean Maya Royale, barcelo, Bahia Principe... There's so many to choose from. In January if that makes any difference.

I personally been staying here at the Wyndham every year since 2014. It really is a great hotel and you won’t be disappointed. Location is great. Yes, the beach sucks now, never used to be like that but the pools are nice and also, just walk like 20 yards towards the Hilton and that beach is a lot nicer. Its super close. Also, beware, there are only really 3 all inclusive hotels in the heart of playa del Carmen 5th Ave and this is one of them. The other two are the ritz and Hilton. If don’t stay at either one of these 3 hotels and you want to walk downtown 5th ave which is really nice at night, then you will be paying for a 20-25 minute or more cab ride which in my opinion would suck. The Wyndham is nice since you just walk right out the hotel a block or two and your right on 5th ave. Lots of night life on 5th and restaurants. Best restaurants and nicer quieter atmosphere would be 5th ave / 38th street street. Good luck.
