Playa Maya by MIJ Hotels 
Frommer's
Oyster
Frommer's "Depending on weather and current conditions (which change constantly), the beach directly in front of the hotel can be rocky; better swimming conditions are a short walk away"
Oyster "Accessible only
from the white-sand beach at the end of Calle 8, this mid-range, 20-room
boutique has spacious rooms with contemporary decor, a small pool,
beachside restaurant and bar, and a throng of cushy beach loungers that can
make the small beach area feel cramped"
