Curious what a typical day in Playa del Carmen would be? The Riviera Maya has a ton of things to entertain you and admittedly, there is not a typical day, where routine sets in and you find predictable things to do, and little excitement. Each day brings a day that you can design for yourself or you can let the day unfold and take you where it decides to take you.

There is a famous quote, the devil is in the details and though we are NOT the devil we sure do love the details. Any hotel can provide a bed, a roof and some towels. Any tour guide can take you to a destination site and walk you around. Anyone can serve up a cup of coffee, fruit and yogurt for breakfast. But not everybody looks closely at the details of each of these experience. Not everybody takes the time to think through the little details that will make every moment, just that much better.
Details, details, details...
Playa del Carmen Vacation Detail #1 - on a hot day after traveling...
Enough about the hotel. Most people know who we are, what we offer our guests and where we are located, Playa del Carmen, Mexico just south of Cancun and on one of the most desired beaches in North America. One block from the hotel is the Mexican Caribbean, the ocean, the blue blue sea that is shown in so many vacation photos. The water really is that blue and we really are just 2 steps, 2 big steps!
Mexican Caribbean and the Riviera Maya is an experience
We can tell you all about it but the Mayan Riviera really needs to be experienced. Photos help but when you stand outside the doors of the hotel...
Just like the song, ch-ch-ch-changes have happened at Hotel Cielo. New amenities are in, the rooms had had a bit of an up-grade. We don't know what we were waiting for, but the wait is over! It has been fun designing these changes and finding the exact items that we think will be appreciated and noticed. WE have thought about our guest experience seriously and we are happy with the result.

Carboncitos is located on site at Hotel Cielo featuring traditional Mexican dishes for the inexperienced or experienced traveler. Some dishes are from the chefs grandmother, other dishes use Mexican ingredients in contemporary and fusion dishes. Wow! Super chido as we say in Mexico (meaning super cool). Salsas are the staple to all of the dishes, both fresh and cooked, with fish, chicken, chiles...
