Each room is artfully decked out in pieces culled from Mexico’s top flea markets, a shady garden filled with hammocks awaits you for breakfast or afternoon lounging, an ocean-view rooftop terrace offers the perfect perch for a sundown cocktail and the friendly staff always have a beach kit and a fount of local knowledge at the ready.

Packing tips:
All those books you’ve been meaning to read – in the hotel’s spirit of relaxation, the rooms don’t have televisions or other entertainment, so you’ll want to stake out a sunlounger on the Terraza or a seat in the shady Jardín Copal to settle in for a few hours of reading.
Dress code:
Sandals and sun-hats; with its rustic-chic aesthetic and intimate feel, La Semilla might as well be your friend’s house, so feel free to even pad around barefoot, if you so desire.
Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this boutique hotel in Playa del Carmen and unpacked their beach reads and cover-ups, a full account of their luxury beach break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Hotel La Semilla on the Riviera Maya…
Whatever you do, don’t forget your camera. Well, your smartphone, really, because you’re going to want to Instagram (and pin) every vintage-inspired, rustic-chic tableau at Hotel La Semilla, a former plant nursery that two Playa del Carmen locals lovingly reimagined as the boutique B&B of our dreams. It starts when you walk through the wooden door and sneak a shot of the antique blue-and-white-tiled floors that lead you to the cosy library. Just a few more snaps as you peek into the shady tropical garden, adorned with hammocks and wooden tables, and softly lit with candles by night. By the time hosts Alexis and Angie lead you to your room, you’ll lose all inhibitions, furiously capturing the artfully arranged vintage pieces, sourced from flea markets and haciendas around the Yucatán Peninsula – and don’t forget the views from your private balcony and the communal rooftop terrace, which can stretch out to the ocean, just five minutes away.
Picturesque though it is, La Semilla isn’t all looks. Alexis, Angie and their team extend to their guests the same love and dedication that went into building the hotel, whether that’s sharing their favourite local cenote (swimming hole) recommendations or thoughtfully stocking the kitchen with each guest’s preferred drink, so you can enjoy a sunset aperitif on the house. With only nine rooms and such personalised service, you might as well be staying at a friend’s private hacienda; and, by the time you leave, everyone at La Semilla will be your friends.

Dining information
Restaurant:
The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, but an extensive homemade, organic breakfast is served each morning at Cocina Loft, the open kitchen and cosy sitting area that blends into the Jardín Copal, the tropical back garden. The main dish changes daily – put in a request the night before if you have a particular hankering – but the offerings always include fresh fruit, pastries, breads, house-made jams and granola. As your hosts Alexis and Angie make all the food, they are happy to accommodate any allergies with advance notice. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, and you’ll likely find yourself chatting with fellow guests about the day’s adventures.
Top Table:
If you need respite from the morning sun, settle into a cosy sofa in the Cocina Loft itself while you sip your coffee; for a breezier dining experience, take a seat at one of the wooden tables scattered around the garden.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 10:30am.
Hotel Bar:
In the afternoon, wine and beer are available for free in the hotel's garden. If your pick of poison isn't available, a member of staff will be dispatched to pick it up.
