Hotel Details

Location

Two minutes from the beach and one block from Fifth Avenue, with ADO bus station 700 metres away and the ferry terminal under 1 km.
Moonshine Hotel sits in the heart of Playa del Carmen's nightlife and entertainment district. The beach is a 2-minute walk, and Fifth Avenue with its shopping, restaurants, and clubs is just around the corner. ADO International Bus Station is 700 metres away, and the Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal (ferry to Cozumel) is within 1 km. Cozumel International Airport is 35 km distant. The immediate area contains at least 8 restaurants within 0.5 km, a 7-Eleven across the street, and an Oxxo one block away. The location is ideal for party-goers and those wanting to be where the action is, but noise from nearby clubs is intense and constant until 3-4 AM every night - this is not a quiet area for sleeping.

Accommodation

Air-conditioned rooms and apartments with private bathrooms, flat-screen TV, and free WiFi - some rooms lack windows and only have small glass bricks for light.
Moonshine Hotel offers double rooms, twin rooms, family rooms, studios, and apartments. Double rooms have 1 double bed; twin rooms have 2 single beds. Family rooms accommodate up to 3 beds and some include a full kitchen with stove, fridge, and kitchenware. The 2-bedroom apartment features a king bed in a private room plus 2 extra beds in the living area, a sofa bed, a private rooftop with jacuzzi, and a full kitchen. Studio rooms have air conditioning and a minibar but no separate sleeping area. Balconies are guaranteed only in apartment-type rooms and family suites; other room types are subject to availability. Some standard rooms have no window but only translucent glass bricks near the ceiling. Rooms are described as spacious by some but can feel musty or humid, and the older furniture may show wear. Road-facing rooms on the first and second floors are directly exposed to nightclub noise and vibration.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room without a street-facing balcony if you are a light sleeper - nearby nightclubs play loud music with bass vibration until 3-4 AM every night.

  • 02

    Choose the apartment-type room or family suite if you need a guaranteed balcony.

  • 03

    Arrive before check-in and use free luggage storage to explore the city immediately.

  • 04

    Plan to pay 300 MXN per night per additional person over 2 in a room.
