This lovely newly renovated hotel is located off the beaten track, yet close enough to enjoy what Playa del Carmen offers. If you enjoy being nearer to where the locals go, this is a nice choice. There are plentiful grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities. Colectivos run up and down Avenida 30 for 9 pesos (2017 price) but I had no problem walking all the way down to the Cozumel Ferry. ADO station Alternativa (Avenida 25 at Calle 12) was a convenient, economical way to get to Cancun Airport, it was a manageable walk from Playa Natural, even with a heavy-ish backpack plus tote. One must inform the manager of arrival time in order to check-in as they are not on the property 24/7, however, everything worked out fine.
