Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo
Your home base in Playa — spacious apartments, a gem of a pool, and a host who actually cares.
Tucked into a quiet residential pocket of Playa's Ejidal neighborhood, Claro de Luna is the kind of place you find through a friend — and come back to on your own.
Six spacious apartments and studios, each between 35 and 75 square meters — more room than most hotel suites, at a fraction of the price. Full kitchenettes with real cookware. King beds you actually want to sleep in. A sparkling pool with a shallow end for kids and hammocks for everyone else.
And then there's Sebastien. The owner, the host, the reason guests keep writing five-paragraph reviews. He's the one who'll recover your wallet from the restaurant you left it at. The one who knows which taco stand is worth the walk and which cenote to visit on a Tuesday.
35 to 75 m2 of apartment, not room. Cook breakfast in your own kitchen. Spread out. Leave your suitcase open on the floor — there's room.
Guests who swore they'd never use a hotel pool changed their minds here. Crystal clear, impeccably clean, with a shallow section for little ones and sun loungers for everyone else.
Not a concierge. Not a chatbot. A human who runs this place like it's his home — because it is. The kind of host who gets mentioned by name in every single review.
"The host Sebastien is super helpful and a delight to be around — the highlight of our stay. He even helped us when we forgot our wallet at a restaurant nearby."

Ejidal neighborhood, between Avenidas 60 and 70, north of Calle 12. A residential pocket where the noise of Quinta Avenida fades to a hum — but the walk there takes ten minutes flat.
