Acanto in Playa del Carmen

Escape to an upscale hotel and condominium complex in a serene setting in the heart of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

While Cancún may be the most-famous party place on the Riviera Maya, nearby Playa del Carmen is increasing one of the most-vibrant spots to visit on Mexico’s Atlantic coast. The spirited scene along Playa del Carmen’s pedestrian lane of Quinta Avenida is one thing that brings in visitors from across the globe. Another is an idyllic stretch of white-sand beach. Nestled between these two top attractions you’ll find Acanto Hotel and Condominiums.

The boutique getaway is literally a few steps off the strip where an international set strolls a seemingly unending run of restaurants, shops, festive cantinas and lively entertainment venues. A drastic shift awaits upon entrance into Acanto as the sounds of the energetic outdoor scene rapidly fade. You’ve truly come to a place of peace and tranquility.

Passing through the serenity of a mood-lit lobby you reach the sun-filled hub of the hacienda-style sanctuary. Tropical foliage dots common areas that surround an inviting pool in the calming central space. Shaded loungers beckon you to relax but you have a mind to check out the rooftop. An elevator takes you up to soaring views across the Caribbean Sea. Barbecue facilities and free-to-use dining tables catch your eye. You make a mental note to have a meal in the breezy outdoor space but your accommodations await.

A Unique Mixture of Hotel and Home

Combining the conveniences of home with the services and amenities of a world-class hotel, Acanto’s one, two- and three-bedroom accommodations encourage relaxation. Enjoy the elegance of marble floors throughout, a large flat-screen TV in an ample seating area and gorgeous garden views. The central air conditioning is perfect for those balmy Playa del Carmen days. Your practical side appreciates a full kitchen with granite countertops and all the modern appliances you could need. Perhaps you’ll whip up a light meal later but tonight you’ll indulge in gourmet Mayan-fusion cuisine with one of Acanto’s chef-prepared meals, served on your private terrace.

Accommodations for Every Need

Among the one, two- and three-bedroom options there is a Deluxe Room with a king-size bed and terrace. Studio penthouses have kitchenettes and private rooftop space featuring a dining area, a barbecue and sweeping views of the sea. One and two- and three-bedroom penthouses have matching rooftop elements but add in full kitchens, ample living rooms and terraces. Enjoy similar comforts in garden-facing choices that also range from one to three bedrooms. Stay as a guest as you would in a fine hotel or consider a purchase and relax in the comfort of your home away from home any time you please.

Breakfast to the Sounds of Nature

In the morning you peer over your balcony to see that a continental breakfast awaits below. The healthy spread includes fresh tropical fruit, yogurt and granola. Choose from a selection of multi-grain breads and sweet pastries with an assortment of fruit jams or keep it simple with a bowl of cereal. Complement your meal with a steaming cup of fresh-brewed coffee and savor the morning starter in a serene courtyard with greenery that draws in birds to provide a soothing natural soundtrack.

Acanto as a Base for Exploration

From days relaxing on Instagram-perfect beaches to evening strolls amid a bustling pedestrian scene, the center of Playa del Carmen has enough to occupy your time and then some. But the seaside enclave also serves as a hub for exploring its surroundings. A walk down Quinta Avenida delivers you to the town’s main dock with regular departures to Isla Mujeres. The laid-back island is home to a turtle sanctuary, Mayan temple and beautiful beaches with some of the best snorkel sites in the area. With a 40-minute ferry ride, you can bask on the shores of Cozumel Island, an unspoiled isle with famed undersea caverns. Marvel at the region’s rich history with a two-and-a-half hour drive to Chichén Itzá, an ancient Mayan site with a towering pyramid and other centuries-old stone structures.

Your tropical escape has come to an end. Bags packed, you take one last saunter through the restful retreat, one final peer out over ocean waters from the inspiring rooftop perch. One day you’ll return, perhaps as a guest, perhaps as an owner who calls Acanto home.
