The Illusion was built on 8th street, right between the ocean and Playa del Carmen's famous Fifth Avenue. The boutique hotel concept features 45 oversized luxurious bedrooms with marble floors, elegant bathrooms, and balconies; each uniquely designed. Like an Italian villa with Mexican influence, it is five stories tall with a central patio. On the first floor there is a restaurant with a full chef's kitchen that opens into the central patio.
