The Basico Hotel is by far the new hippest spot in Playa del Carmen. It is a whole new feel for this eclectic little Mexican beach town.  Its the sister hotel of Deseo.

Clean Lines and simple minimalist design adorn their 15 rooms. Rooms have king size beds, fluffy white towels, teak chaises, marble floors and flowing curtains. Simple but pleasantly stylish.

All the rooms are air conditioned, have mini-bars loaded with yummy things, and flat screen TV's, DVD, CD, Telephone with voice mail and internet access using wireless connection. Bathrooms within the rooms can for some can lack a level of privacy...Although fabulously designed, bathrooms are separated by a flowing curtain.
The hotel is a short 1 blocks from the beach but many guests never seem to feel the need to leave the hotel.

There are 3 types of Rooms available:

Patio View Rooms: overlooking the pool/lounge area (no balcony).

Town View Rooms: They over look the street area.

Sea View Rooms: they are very roomy and comfortable.

All rooms offer fluffy white towels, a nice selection of toiletries and well lit vanities. Just remember bathrooms are not as fully enclosed or private as other conventional hotel rooms. If you want a unique and chic hotel experience, Basico is it!

The pool / lounge area is also something to see. They have cozy lounging beds and ultra-hip pool or should we say soaking tub.
Basico creates a mood that whatever it is... you want to be a part of it.

At night the hotel's lounge area becomes the place to be with its music, smart lighting, trendy bar and cozy seating. It is all open air to be able to enjoy the Caribbean breeze coming off the sea 1 blocks away. On weekends, they often have a DJ that creates the musical mood. Dance lessons are available.

Their is 1 restaurant and its specialty is Sea Food and a Juice Bar.
