Once a simple fishing town (known mainly for its proximity to Cozumel across the sea), Playa del Carmen has become an increasingly popular destination for Mexican elite and Cancun vacationers. Often considered trendier than other places in the country, Playa brings Euro-chic to the beautiful Riviera Maya with its sophisticated cuisine and incomparable nightlife. Grand Sunset Princess, with its crystal waters and array of thematic restaurants, brings the best of all-inclusive vacationing to a beautiful beach only 15 minutes from this charming town.

The beach is always a popular place to lounge, and the property has 12 different swimming pools including several for adults only. To enhance your waterside adventures, one pool plus a section of the beach offer a drinks-only butler service, so you can enjoy your favourite cocktail without moving from your beach towel or lounge chair. There are kayaks and windsurfing equipment that can be used to explore the shoreline, and introductory scuba lessons are offered in the pool in preparation for Mexico's world class diving spots.

Dining on the resort is varied - a true reflection of the hodgepodge of European influences evident in Playa del Carmen. In addition to two buffet style restaurants, there are seven a la carte options where you can try Swiss dishes at La Fondue, Thai cuisine at The Beach Club or traditional Mexican favourites at La Hacienda. There are also ten bars available including the 24-hour 5 Avenue where you can grab a cocktail after enjoying a show at the Princess Theatre or a night out in Playa del Carman.

Rooms come crisply decorated with fresh linens in light colours, and there is a satellite TV, mini-bar, balcony and Jacuzzi tub. Enjoy your accommodations after days on the resort full of archery, snorkeling and relaxing at the spa, or after time spent diving in Playa del Carman and lounging in the cafes that line the city's main street.
