We can't vouch for their food as we didn't try it but the drinks are good and the nightly entertainment with your toes wiggling in the sand every night is perfect! The Fusion Hotel in Playa del Carmen is very easy to find at the end of Calle 6 - 6th Street - where it meets the beach. On foot, walk up or down the 5th Avenue pedestrian mall to Sixth and turn towards the beach. When the street turns to sand, look on the left to see the Fusion Hotel.
