The Cancun Playa is a newer entry into the 4-star range, and is part of the same chain as the immense Oasis. European influence shows in guest rooms which feature tile floors with area rugs, upholstered furnishings accented with modern wood pieces. Standard rooms lack balconies. Six restaurants, four bars, two lighted tennis courts, complete health club. Built in 1975 and renovated in 1992, there are 23 villas with two to five bedrooms that convert into single rooms and studios, a few overlooking the beach and Caribbean.
Units are spacious and have tile floors, full kitchens, and shower-only baths.
Free-form pool, two tennis courts, one pool side restaurant. Guests can arrange for a private cook. Similar to other pioneer Cancun properties, this, the former Club Cancun Caribe, has made strides to boost its sagging reputation through extensive renovations. Most units are two-bedroom suites that divide into studios and junior suited. 24 units have kitchenettes.
