Shangri-La Caribe... Beach village resort... A casual complex centered upon Playa del Carmen's nicest beach. Ambiance, beauty & service only begin to describe this exceptional place. Highly recommended - Certainly not a typical Mexican mega-resort!

On the edge of Playa del Carmen, offering a rustic flavor with a tone of elegance. A thatch roofed community complete with two pools and tropical gardens is situated right on the beach. The rooms are neatly and attractively furnished with either a king or two double beds, private bath and ceiling fan. Lovely touches of Mexican tile and woodwork abound. Daily maid service is, of course, provided and there's an ample supply of purified, bottled water in each room. A front porch with hammocks satisfies the modern Robinson Crusoe's quest for leisure with just enough of the necessary comforts.

Vacation-time is good-eating time. The Shangri-la Caribe dining staff knows this. From the casual atmosphere of the dining room under thatch you'll find your mealtime moments a memorable experience. Of course, with that inviting Caribbean right at our doorstep, seafood is one of our staples - prepared with care and flare. And there are tropical fruits, a feast for eye and palate, always available - and there are specialty buffets and real Mexican treats and open-air cookouts around the pool - services designed to complement the pleasure of a visit to Shangri-la. Buen Provecho!

We're proud of our heritage - and when you visit Shangri-la Caribe you will experience the simple and warm hospitality that is a hallmark of our Yucatecan roots. Ours is a joyful, smiling atmosphere that is the tradition of Mexico. We cherish our natural inheritance - the jungle and the sea and offer their treasures for your appreciation, understanding and enjoyment.

"You don't often hear the words tropical hideaway and Cancun used in the same sentence. But the Shangri-La Caribe --- a drop dead gorgeous (and obscenely affordable) resort right on the Caribbean --- is so secluded that you won't believe you're just a half an hour's drive south of that concrete jungle of crass. The resort is so well laid out, with tiled pathways linking the bungalows, the pools, the bar, the gift and dive shops, and the dining pavilions, that you'll wonder where the heck everybody is ... Which is precisely the point."
