By the time you get to Playa del Carmen it’s pretty clear you’re in Mexico — so why the big hotels insist on playing up the colonial-kitsch influence, we couldn’t begin to say. Some of the more distinguished hotels break this mold, however, like Mosquito Blue, a small, stylish and laid-back hotel, and something of an architectural statement, in its own subtle way, blending the traditional Yucatan look with distinct Polynesian and modern Mediterranean elements, resulting in a style that’s charming and unique.

Standard rooms are cozy and rather dark, in the Spanish style, on the principle that there’s more than enough sunshine outside. If you’re dying to bathe in natural light, then a Deluxe with an outdoor patio — or one of the bright and airy suites — might be more your speed. In any case, the rooms and suites are handsome, spare but not minimalist, comfortable but stopping well short of flash luxury.

The Glass Bar is not just a bar but a restaurant as well, serving Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine. Here you’re rather closer to Playa del Carmen’s nightlife than to the beach (itself just a very short walk away), which suits this adults-only getaway just fine. Diversions include two quiet and child-free pools and a fairly lavishly equipped spa, and there’s a private beach a few minutes farther down the road for when you’re after a measure of privacy.
