Authentic Mexican Hotel For Sale in Playa del Carmen

Looking to invest in a beautiful boutique hotel in  the Maya Riviera?

Hotel + Restaurant Asking Price:
3.5 Million USD

The beautiful and award-winning Hotel Cielo and Carboncitos Restaurant in downtown Playa del Carmen are for sale. 

Located right in the heart of Playa, this combination of gorgeous 18-room boutique hotel and 90-seat authentic Mexican restaurant is a unique combination. 

The old-world Hacienda-style building is perfectly situated on Playa’s famous 5th Avenue, just a one-minute walk from the pristine white sand beaches of the Caribbean Sea. This ideal location is just steps from the Cozumel ferries and the local bus station, making travel a breeze.

The Riviera Maya is seen by many as a paradise on earth. The boutique hotel in a popular tourist Caribbean location is a great investment in a “tranquilo” life. 

The owners are selling because it is time to retire. They’ve owned it for many years have their heart into it (you’ll see it in the details) want to find new owners who will continue to shower this beautiful location with the love and attention it deserves.

About the Hotel

The lot size of the property is ~354 square meters. The 18-room hotel is ~800 square meters, with potential to build three more stories, more than doubling the size and adding up to 24 more rooms. 

  • Fully furnished rooms with all the amenities, including authentically appointed decor, world-class mattresses and linens, full bathroom, air conditioning, and cable television.   
  • Hotel amenities include on-site restaurant and bar, gardens, security cameras, and rooftop balcony with unrestricted views of the Caribbean Sea, full bar, gorgeous wood terrace, and a 70-square-meter Palapa (grass roof).

Hotel Cielo’s reputation is extraordinary. There are 260 hotels in Playa, and for ten consecutive years TripAdvisor has rated it a Top 20 destination, with Certificates of Excellence awarded every year since 2011. The hotel is also been consistently awarded TripAdvisor’s Hall of Fame and Traveler’s Choice. 

Included with the hotel is a strong internet presence: WordPress website with Google Analytics and complete reservation system, in addition to well-managed social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TripAdvisor). 

From a financial perspective, Hotel Cielo runs conservatively at a 46% occupancy rate with an ADR of ~$105/night. Annual sales average $322K with lots of room to grow. Running at 75% occupancy with no rate increase would produce $517K annually. Raising ADR by $10/night  would lead to $567K. Lots of potential!
