Just off Quinta Avenida’s lively strip, Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen relaunches the former Thompson Main House and Beach House under a new flag in late 2024. The 92 rooms, adults-only Downtown House shows mid-century lines warmed by local marble and textiles, while the 27-key Beach House fronts the Caribbean with terraces, daybeds and plunge pools. Floor-to-ceiling glass, sateen linens, craft-beer minibars and rainfall showers lend a polished yet relaxed Riviera Maya mood.
Alessia Rooftop Dayclub and UMI Urban Kitchen crown a block-long infinity pool, swim-up bar and sunset DJ sets; beachfront C Grill flames line-caught fish over Mayan coals. Guests shuttle between houses in a vintage VW Beetle, unwind in cabanas, or reserve semi-open venues by Niz + Chauvet for weddings and incentives.
