Why Use This Laundromat In Playa Del Carmen?
It is reliable, reasonable, and under new ownership!
I’m a Google, Yelp, and Trip Advisor kind of girl, and I read reviews. After reading many reviews, it became apparent that some of the lavanderías in the area were not that great.

How Much Was Our Laundry Service
It cost us USD 12 (229 Pesos) for 2 huge bags of laundry weighing 14 pounds (6.8 kg) of laundry!
If you want to use a credit card, you can, but you will be charged 2% more to pay the fees for credit card processing.
How Does The Laundry Get Returned To You
- Lavanderia EL Playense has a local drop-off service if it is within 5 minutes (so they told us)
- You can pick your laundry up from them before they close Monday – Friday 8A – 8P (lines a Sabado)
- You will receive your laundry in large, clear plastic bags (which is perfect for recycling and using for garbage
- Your laundry will all be folded and pressed perfectly.
The BONUS At The Lavanderia EL Playense is that the smell of the fresh laundry is fricking amazing and with hints of lavender (we think). Plus, the laundry is so soft; it was outstanding and softer than the towels we initially brought to them.
Did We Have Any Issues With The Laundry Service?
We wrote down how many socks, underwear, undergarments, bathing suits, and items we provided to them, so we had notes so that I could write my travel article and share this with you.
Unfortunately, 1 of my black no-show socks was not returned as a set, but it’s not a big deal. We were very happy with our laundry and will use it again when we return to Playa Del Carmen.
Were The Owners Nice At The New Playa Del Carmen Laundry Mat?
The first man we worked with in the morning was very nice to us because he was already stacked with so much laundry that they hardly could take on more work, but he made it work for us, and it was ready when promised, right at 4P.
I loved this little dog it was so friendly and the owners were so kind to let me hold her!
The lady working there was very nice and we think she is married to the man we met in the morning. Both are super friendly and have French accents (we think that was the accent).
Another man was working there, and he came in with this tiny dog and let me hold her. He was terrific, and I believe he is one of the owners as well!
Tips To Use This Lavandería
We discussed returning with more laundry later in the week with the man at the counter, and he told us this:
- come early,
- Give them a whole day to do the laundry
- We get very busy, and laundry is fickle “we can be very busy one day and not so busy the next.”
- order express if you must have it right away, but again, come early.
- There is a 4kg Minimum
Make it your first stop in the morning and get there when they open. We did and our laundry was ready and waiting on time!
After watching another Vlogger discuss Playa Del Carmen, we overpacked, based on her analysis which was totally out of balance. Less is more!
Next time we travel to PDC, we are packing light, bringing much less clothing and going to the Lavandería EL playense because we don’t need that much when we are there!
