Playa, as locals call it is located in the Riviera Maya in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, about 40 miles south of Cancun. With miles of powder white beaches, this once sleepy fishing village has retained its small-town charm. Buildings are low-rise, and the atmosphere is authentic. When the sun goes down, the temperature goes up. The night life gets into full swing and the main center street – 5th Ave transforms from a family friendly pedestrian way to a sizzling hot spot. Usually visitors came to Playa for a day trip from one of the nearby all-inclusive resorts. But the village lacked luxury hotel accommodations until now.

The Acanto Hotel is housed behind grand Hacienda Style gates and has a prime location just 1-block form the beach and 1/2 block from bustling 5th Avenue. . A grotto style center courtyard pool offers a space to relax and enjoy a swim or soak in the sun pre and post beach and village visits.
