Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, Adults Only All-Inclusive

Lelia Chaboissier

We had such a great time in Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen. The room was nice, the hotel is beautiful, the staff is really great and were taking care of us perfectly. All the food and beverage outlets were so good, there are so many choices and the quality is great. It was our first time in an All inclusive resort and everything was perfect. Thank you to Juan from the spa, Victor the bellman, Angel from the pool bar, Eduardo from Las Brasas and Luis from the front office ! And all the others who served us throughout the week. Hasta la proxima !

It's hard to imagine a better property/AI experience at this price point. The location is stellar - with 5th avenue right there if you wish to venture off property. The food is really, truly good and there is considerable choice - don't miss Off The Hook Sushi sneakily tucked in behind the quiet pool -- with swim up bar too - or the little tiki bar on the far, far left of the hotel. The pizza place by main pool is tight. Included drinks are all Call brands (like Bacardi, Smirnoff, Absolut, Captain Morgan, Jack, Bombay Sapphire etc., plus tons of good tequilas and Mezcals). The service in the bars and restaurants is spot-on attentive and friendly. Really. Everybody is so caring about your having a nice time. I wish they had AC or fans at the main indoor bar and maybe more DJ activity during the day - but not enough to downgrade my overall enjoyment. The Sargassum is a real big issue (they do try to keep up, but fighting mother nature is a massive chore) and the main beach is pretty well degraded into near non-existence (all super sad, not their fault) but there is a tiny beach next to the Tiki Bar that has a bit of sand an very oddly. no Sargassum - just a few hundred feet away from the mess. There's hope!!

The resort's Santorini-like exterior is stunning. While visiting in January meant the beachfront was closed due to high tides, a pleasant, few-minute walk just outside the property led us to a beautiful, accessible shoreline. It was also incredibly convenient for souvenir shopping, with a strip of stalls literally just one block away. As Playa del Carmen is known for its vibrant nightlife, expect some energetic atmosphere. One night, I went to bed and woke up to music from the bar nearby, great if you're in the mood for it, but light sleepers may want to pack earplugs or request a quieter room. For an all-inclusive, note that premium-brand alcohol is an extra charge. The true highlight was the exceptional staff and their fun, scheduled activities. The doorman was always welcoming, and activity hosts Carlos and David were fantastic entertainers who made our trip a great experience! We loved the mezcalita class, foam party, and karaoke night. The buffet food was genuinely good, but the standout was the on-site Mexican restaurant, Zarape—the best food of the trip, served by the wonderful and fun server, Julius. The guest demographic skewed a bit older. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it!

I stayed at the Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only and honestly came away with mixed feelings — but I’d still consider staying again because the location carries this resort hard. The biggest selling point is absolutely where it’s located. You’re right in the middle of Playa del Carmen and can easily walk to shopping, restaurants, bars, nightlife, and the beach. If you’re someone who likes leaving the resort and exploring, this location is a huge advantage compared to larger Riviera Maya resorts where you feel isolated once you’re on property. The vibe of the resort was more relaxed and social than luxury. It didn’t feel overly rowdy or like a nonstop spring break party, but it also wasn’t super quiet either. It had a really good middle-ground energy where you could hang by the pool, have drinks, meet people, or just relax without feeling pressured into activities all day. The bartenders and staff were friendly, and the pool atmosphere was honestly one of the highlights of the trip for me. Now for the honest part — the food was probably the weakest area for me. Breakfast was consistently the best meal of the day and had a solid variety of options. Outside of breakfast, the buffet food was pretty average overall. Not terrible, but not something I found myself looking forward to either. To be completely fair, I never made it to the specialty restaurants because I kept getting too comfortable (and too drunk) at the pool during the day and never recovered in time for dinner plans, so that part is probably on me. 😂 The rooms themselves were actually good and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the room size was solid, and I had no complaints there. The bathrooms, though, definitely felt more dated and could use updating compared to the rest of the room. The beach situation is probably the most misleading part if you only look at resort photos online. There isn’t really direct “walk straight onto the beach” access from the pool area like some people may expect. There’s a smaller sand/lounge area on property with chairs, but there’s a bush/vegetation barrier between that area and the actual beach. To get to the real beach and beach bar with the swings, I had to go out toward the front/side of the resort and walk around. Maybe there was another access point I missed, but it definitely wasn’t intuitive. The beach itself visually looks beautiful when you’re standing there looking out at the water — that classic turquoise Playa del Carmen color is absolutely there. But once you actually walk into the water, there were a lot of rocks, which made getting in a little rough in some spots. And unfortunately, when I visited, the seaweed situation was BAD. I know that depends heavily on the season and nature, not necessarily the resort itself, but it definitely impacted the beach experience during my stay. Overall, I think this resort is best for travelers who care more about location, walkability, social atmosphere, and having an easy fun vacation than having a super upscale luxury resort experience. If you’re expecting a perfect beachfront all-inclusive with amazing food and ultra-modern everything, you may leave disappointed. But if you want a reasonably priced adults-only resort in the heart of Playa del Carmen where you can relax, drink by the pool, and easily explore the area around you, Wyndham Alltra does that really well.

The entertainment team has been phenomenal. David, Carlos and Jenica have made our week so fun! Great mix of participation without being obnoxious. One of the best teams we've seen in a while (and we do one or two all inclusives a year) Bar staff is super responsive. Huge thanks to Jaime and Sebastian! They increased our enjoyment of this resort and are invaluable assets. We got a great deal on a standard room so knew what we were getting into (and we're hardly in the room) but the room is incredibly dark, think inside cabin on a cruise ship. Our relatives have a balcony room and the difference is significant. Definitely the worst room we've stayed in at an all inclusive. However housekeeping was great, room was clean, bed was comfy just dim lighting, no windows that you can open and small. If you come here complaining about the beach you've read zero reviews. There is minimal beach and what chairs they have at the north beach, near the beach bar, none have umbrellas. However they probably have 40-50 chairs out there so it's not non-existent. Sargassum in this area is heavy right now so no swimming in the water at this time. Would come back for the staff. Had a great week
