''CDC HAS REMOVED ITS RECOMMENDATION THAT U.S. TRAVELERS AVOID TRAVEL TO MEXICO''
That is from the May 15th CDC announcement here. (Our previous announcements on this situation are still here, for your reference.)

RECOMMENDED BY CARIBBEAN TRAVEL & LIFE
Playa Maya is a beachfront bargain... So say the fine folks at Caribbean Travel & Life in their new 2009 Beach Lover's Guide to the Riviera Maya, in which we are the only small beachfront hotel in Playa to be so mentioned. (That's actually on the second page of the article here, if you don't see us at first.) Thanks, CT&L!

RESTAURANT RAVES
We had the best fish tacos EVER at Playa Maya, a small hotel restaurant right on the beach in Playa del Carmen: chunks of grilled red snapper, soft corn tortillas and pico de gallo full of ripe (!) tomatoes, minced jalapeños, onion and cilantro. All they needed was a squeeze of lime, handily plucked from the top of the Sol beer bottle... Check out the entire review here, if you like!

FROMMER'S FIRST CHOICE!
Of the beach hotels in downtown Playa, this one would be my first choice. There are a lot of reasons to like it... That's what the distinguished Frommer's series has been saying about Playa Maya in print for the last few years, but they have now gone online with that recommendation here, for those who would like to take a look!

	We are booking to stay at your hotel not only because of the write-ups by your clients on TripAdvisor but mainly due to the fact that you took the time to respond to some of their complaints/concerns. I think it truly shows a unique character and a management style that understands customer service and hospitality.Most other managers would just let grievances go unanswered - kudos!!!

Playa Maya, a cozy hotel that first opened its doors in the summer of 2002, is located right on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the capital of the Mayan Riviera. A tranquil site located quite close to 5th Avenue, the heart of activity in Playa, we offer you a perfect base from which to explore all the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean, including the wealth of scuba diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing activites on offer, the archaeological ruins of the ancient Maya at Tulum, Cobá and Chichén Itzá, eco-parks such as Xcaret and Xel-Há, and the attractions and facilities of Cancun and the island of Cozumel, less than an hour away by car and by ferry, respectively.
