Designed by renowned Mexican architect Rodrigo de la Peña, Emma & Elissa by Dream Hotel Group is a luxury condo-hotel project where owners and hotel guests are invited to enjoy state-of-the-art amenities and best-in-class service side by side.
“We are thrilled to introduce the By Dream Hotel Group brand of hospitality to Playa del Carmen,” said José Mireles Verastegui, CEO of Grupo Proactivo. “We have a great synergy working together and look forward to developing another incredible project in one of the world’s most desirable beachfront destinations.”

Located just an hour south of Cancun International Airport, Playa del Carmen or “Playa” as it is commonly referred to by locals, is a coastal resort town in Quintana Roo on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Heralded as one of Mexico’s brightest Caribbean Stars, Playa del Carmen is a world-renown destination for shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as scuba diving, snorkeling and unrivaled beachfront relaxation.
Unlike its northern sister city Cancun, which has a reputation of being incredibly touristy, Playa del Carmen retains an authentic Mexican feel due to its smaller size—a hidden gem in the heart of the Riviera Maya.
