Viva Azteca by Wyndham

The pool here’s pulled up to the edge of a beach – just a few steps separates you from the shoreline. Plus, you’ve got a waterside bar for drinks and snacks, too. There are four restaurants to choose from, including an Asian eatery with hand-crafted sushi on the menu.

The hotel’s beach spot has got Mexico’s signature look written all over it – picture pristine white sands and sky-blue seas. Plus, you’re not too far away from the action – it’s a 10-minute taxi ride to lively Playa del Carmen.

The pool at this place puts the coastline right in the viewfinder. Plus, you’ve got four restaurants to choose from with flavours from Italy, Mexico and Asia sharing the spotlight at dinnertime.

Stay in a superior double room which has its own balcony or terrace or French balcony. You can opt for a garden, pool or limited sea view, too. You'll have a king-size bed or 2 queen-sized beds, a shower in bath, a flatscreen TV, air-conditioning, a safe, plus free Wi-Fi.

The restaurant count stands at four – you’ve got the main buffet which serves up dishes from around the globe. Plus, there’s an Asian place, an Italian and a Mayan eatery, too.
