Hotel Details

Location

Zilha 42 is centrally located in Playa del Carmen, a 12-minute walk from the beach, less than 1 km from the Church of Guadalupe, and 36 km from Cozumel International Airport.
The apartment sits in a quiet, walkable neighbourhood close to coffee shops, a supermarket, laundry services, and a fruit stand. Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal is 3 km away for ferry access to Cozumel. Several restaurants are within 0.3-0.5 km, covering Mexican and international options. The central location means most attractions - including Xel Ha (49 km), Kantenah Bay (35 km), and Xcacel-Xcacelito (47 km) - are best reached by car, but free on-site parking makes this straightforward. The area is practical for travellers who want to park once and explore the city centre and beach on foot.

Accommodation

The apartment offers a separate bedroom, living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, fridge, microwave, and kitchenware. Bed configurations vary: some apartments have 1 bed, others 2 beds.
Each apartment features a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries, plus a washing machine and dryer for longer stays. The loft-style layout includes a mezzanine bedroom in some units, with two toilets (one on the ground floor, one near the bedroom). Room amenities include air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with Netflix, and a terrace. Complimentary water and beers are provided on arrival. The apartment is described as spacious, well-furnished, and clean with careful decorative details. Road-facing rooms are quiet, and the property is in a peaceful neighbourhood, suitable for light sleepers. For those who want a city view or a balcony, confirm these features when booking as availability varies.

Wellness and Leisure

The property features an outdoor rooftop pool with city views, open all year. A second outdoor pool is also available. There is no spa or wellness centre on site.
The rooftop pool offers a refreshing dip with city views, ideal for cooling down after a day exploring Playa del Carmen. The pool is open year-round. A second outdoor pool is also available on the property. There is no gym, sauna, or spa on site, so leisure activities are focused on the pools and the apartment's terrace. The proximity to the beach (12 minutes on foot) and the city centre provides additional leisure options without needing a car.

Facilities and Services

Free private parking on site (no reservation needed), free WiFi throughout, and family-friendly rooms. Pets are not allowed. No airport shuttle is available.
Free, secure on-site parking is a major advantage for those driving - no reservation is needed. The property is non-smoking throughout, and family rooms are available. A washing machine and dryer in the apartment make longer stays more practical. Luggage storage can be arranged if you arrive before check-in (15:00) or leave after check-out (11:00). There is no lift, so the apartment is accessed via stairs. Check-in is until 23:00; late or early requests are possible but not guaranteed. For airport transfers, Cozumel International Airport is 36 km away and guests must arrange their own transport - no shuttle is provided. The apartment is cleaned and well-stocked with toiletries and kitchen essentials on arrival.
