Guests can use pool loungers and umbrellas for free. However, booking a pool cabana costs 45 USD per day, and includes a bottle of sparkling wine and drink service. If you plan on spending the whole day at the pool, it’s worth considering. Additionally, the pool is more magical at night.

There rooftop area with a second swimming pool and hot tub. It’s a good place to avoid the crowds. Additionally, you can enjoy a drink and a sushi roll at the Off the Hook sushi bar nearby.

The Beach

A few years ago, a hurricane caused significant erosion to the beach area of Alltra Wyndham Playa del Carmen and the nearby resorts. Despite this, there is still a portion of the beach at the end of the resort that has sun loungers, umbrellas, and a bar called Las Olas. Guests can enjoy cocktails and other drinks there.

Guests have the option to book a beach cabana for the same price as a pool cabana. However, during our visit, the beach was affected by sargassum, a type of seaweed that has become a widespread problem in the region due to climate change. It is important to note that this issue is not unique to the hotel and all beach hotels in the area are experiencing the same problem. The only areas in Quintana Roo unaffected by seaweed are Isla Mujeres, Cancun, and certain parts of Cozumel.

When planning your trip to Playa del Carmen, remember that seaweed is present from May to June until September to October.

The Oceanview Junior Suite was just the right size for us. Although we had two balconies, the wind was so strong that we couldn’t enjoy them very much.

Our oceanfront hotel offers two types of suites: the Master Suite and the Premium Suite. The Master Suite has a private balcony with outdoor furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows, a seating area, and a spacious bedroom with a king-sized bed.
