Warehouse chic meets Mayan Riviera cool at Hotel Basico, Playa del Carmen's design-savvy destination boutique hotel.
EXPERIENCE
With its industrial design and trendy clientele, Hotel Basico in Playa del Carmen is the face of stylish young Mexico. Rough-hewn white concrete walls, exposed plumbing and electrical ducts, and tile floors offer a beautifully spare, light-filled aesthetic, while the 15 exclusive rooms offer unique touches such as deep-soaker bathtubs and in-room Polaroid cameras. But the real action takes place on Hotel Basico's roof at Azotea Bar, with its tropical drinks, DJs, plush divans, and two deep pools made from modified petroleum tanks - all with sweeping views of beach, ocean, and beautiful people.
Pick up one of the hotel's complimentary bicycles for a spin along 5th Avenue, Playa del Carmen's vibrant entertainment strip. Hit the Caribbean waters for some of Mexico's best scuba diving. Take a little two-hour road trip to visit the famous ruins of Chichen Itza. Or make like the young, hip locals and simply play it cool beneath the palms on the white sand beach.
Just steps from the beach, Hotel Basico is located just off Playa del Carmen's main entertainment thoroughfare, 5th Avenue. The hotel is a 50-minute taxi ride from Cancun International Airport.
