New Acanto Hotel Brings Boutique Luxury Hotel to the Hip Playa Del Carmen Mexico

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The bigger players in the hotel industry have discovered the charms of the hip pedestrian friendly village of Playa Del Carmen Mexico. The Acanto Hotel www.acantohotels.com under the Desires Hotels Flag opened on December 1, 2011 after a 5 Million Dollar rebuild that will mark the second high profile boutique hotel to open in Playa Del Carmen. The first was Morgan’s Hotel Group, Hotel Las Palapas which opened last winter.

At the new Acanto Hotel you can enjoy the cosmopolitan ambiance of Playa’s 5th Avenue and one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Introductory rates start at $176.

Playa, as locals call it, is located on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, about 40 miles south of Cancun.
