I have been to Playa de Carmen several times (12+) in the past 6 years and I have to say this was one of the best places that I have stayed!!! I am not one for the all inclusives, but I do want a place with a wonderful staff and a CLEAN room. El Patio had that plus more. If you have never traveled to Playa, you need to know that if you want to stay any place of 5th Avenue, you will have to put up with the noise. There is NO avoiding that. 5th Avenue is the center of Playa with lots music and people almost 24/7.

The room at El Patio was beautiful and very clean. We had a 2 bedrooms with a nice kitchen well equipped and a very large sitting area with 3 couches and tv. There were 4 of us (women) and this place was more that big enough even the bathroom. Each bedroom had a nice balcony with chairs and big french doors that allowed a lot of air to flow through. The beds were very comfy not rock hard like most.

Every night from 7 pm to 7am there was a guard at the entrance and would check each floor every few hours. Very SAFE!!!
I would recommend this place to anyone!! Plan on returning next year.
