Property Description
Playa del Carmen has become a very popular destination among tourists from all over the world. What was just a small town with a spattering of hotels just a few years ago has become literally the world’s fastest growing city. La Quinta Avenida, or Playa del Carmen’s “Fifth Avenue” is packed with small hotels surrounded by nightclubs and bars that party into the late hours of the night. There is one hotel in Playa del Carmen that is not near the beach, does not have a pool, and is not luxurious, yet has become very popular among international tourists and locals alike. Plaza Playa Hotel is located in downtown Playa del Carmen. The owners run by themselves the 34 rooms' hotel. The hotel has the privilege to count with the work of artist Raquel Marrero, who has made a name for herself through her artwork. Originally, she created some small items for the hotel. But the visitors were so intrigued by her work that she has now created lamps, furniture and decorative paintings which can be found throughout the hotel. Her artwork can be admired and purchased at the hotel's café / gallery where she has a permanent exposition. Ms. Marrero works indoors, where she created her own studio. The hotel is simple, but offers very friendly and familiar service. The minimalist design offers spacious rooms and open hallways which allows natural sunlight to glow throughout the hotel. While many hotels these days claim to be environmentally friendly, Hotel Plaza Playa takes it to another level. The hotel is solar powered and creates electricity from solar energy panels on the roof. Hotel Plaza Playa is built on top of the famous underwater rivers that run under the limestone foundation of Playa del Carmen. The hotel uses a water filtration system on site that supplies natural and fresh water which comes from natural rainwater.
