A Mexico Vacation Package to La Tortuga Hotel in Playa Del Carmen on the Riviera Maya in Mexico is a choice that many people make, and for very good reasons too.

Firstly it is a small hotel in a place that has many huge and impersonal Resorts. There are only 51 rooms, in the heart of Playa del Carmen close to the most beautiful stretch of white sand beach you could ever imagine, fronting on to the beautiful blue, green, turquoise colours of the Caribbean.

This makes it sound like La Tortuga Hotel is on the beach when in fact it is located on 10th Avenue in Playa del Carmen and is a short stroll of about ten minutes to the beach club.

This means La Tortuga is very central to the action, and yet it is very quiet and peaceful, very much a tropical courtyard type oasis in the midst of the clamour. The big advantage of the situation is that shops, Stores, Restaurants, Bars and nightclubs are all virtually outside the door.

Each spacious room with a large bathroom, has air conditioning, television, telephone, safe, ceiling fan, coffee machine and hair dryer, and of course beach towels for the beach club are supplied daily. There are Standard, Standard Plus, Swim up Rooms on the ground floor where you can go from balcony directly to the pool. All the rooms are slightly different in design and furnishing which adds a real personal touch.

There are also Junior Suites, and Superior Junior Suites, so there is something for every pocket if you choose La Tortuga for your Mexico Vacation Package. The Superior Junior Suites come highly recommended with their own Jacuzzi.

You will enjoy the swimming pools, which are really more of a lazy river than a pool, and the number of sunbeds, so you aren’t fighting for possession at four in the morning!! In fact the staff at La Tortuga Hotel are very special with a real team approach, so if you have a specific need, it will me met quickly and very willingly, and always with a smile, and importantly they will always remember your name.

There is a great rooftop sundeck which is part of the Spa, and sunbeds on the Mezzanine sundeck up the stairs close to the pool bar, and you ought to try the central hot tub in the pool area, you will find it hot especially if your Mexico Vacation Package is taken in January when it is a bit chilly in the swimming pools.

You will have daily vouchers for the Beach Club for chairs and umbrellas, and you will be well looked after on the beach, with drinks and food.

The food in the attached Agora restaurant is exceptional, and you will breakfast there every day, but there is so many restaurants in town to choose from you may never dine there which would be a mistake.

Whilst La Tortuga Hotel is not on the white sand beach it is close enough, and also well positioned in Play del Carmen to make it a top destination on the Riviera Maya for your Mexico Vacation Package.
