Uva De Mar 17 & 18 — Tropical Maya Reef & Palms
About this property
Imagine staying at the most connected address in Playa — a launchpad not just for Playa and the Riviera Maya, but for the entire Yucatan. The ADO terminal is 2 minutes on foot, La Quinta is 3, the Cozumel ferry is 4 — one of the best-connected addresses in Playa to everything this region has to offer. Whether it's a spontaneous day trip to Cozumel, exploring the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza and its surrounding cenotes, or swimming in the crystal-clear lagoons of Bacalar, everything is easily accessible from here without the need for a rental car or taxis. Every suite is built around a real kitchenette, not a hot plate: induction stove, blender, microwave, coffee maker, fridge-freezer — equipped for real meals, not takeout by night three. Fiber-optic WiFi is video-call rated throughout, and every suite includes a dedicated workspace. The Romantic Suite sleeps up to 4 across a king memory-foam bed and a sofa bed — the sofa bed comfortably fits one adult or two kids. The Deluxe Suite offers two full-sized beds for up to 4. The Deluxe 2BR Duplex delivers genuine independence for up to 8 across two fully private units, each with its own entrance and kitchenette — Unit A with king plus sofa bed, Unit B with two full beds. Dozens of freshwater cenotes sit 20 to 40 minutes away by minibus, at local prices, no tour group required. The beach is just 4 minutes on foot when the mood strikes — secondary to the walkability stack that makes this address work in any month. 98% of guests rate their sleep perfect — across 1,926 Airbnb and Booking.com reviews portfolio-wide, current as of August 2026. Exclusive discounts on Xcaret, Xel-Ha, vetted tours, and Martina Beach Club are included, and every guest arrives with insider guides that most visitors take two days to accumulate on their own.
Life in Centro
You'll be staying at one of the best-connected addresses in Playa — a launchpad to everything this region has to offer. Three minutes from your door: La Quinta Avenida, with its restaurants, mezcal bars, independent boutiques, and open-air venues. Two minutes: the ADO terminal, opening up the entire Yucatan without a rental car — Tulum in an hour, Chichen Itza and Valladolid as full-day returns, both airports without a transfer. Four minutes: the Cozumel ferry, an island day trip with a reef worth the crossing. Ten minutes by minibus: dozens of freshwater cenotes at local prices, no tour group deciding your schedule. The beach is four minutes on foot — secondary here, not the headline. Supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, fresh produce, and independent taco stands are all within a short walk. For remote workers who need a city that works around their schedule, for families who want Chichen Itza on Tuesday and a cenote on Thursday without renting a car, and for couples who want evenings that belong to them rather than a tour itinerary — this address makes all of it possible on its own terms.
