It’s very inconvenient than once you go out to the beach the staff is constantly bothering you to order from the restaurant and if you have a coconut what you bought next door , they don’t let you have it there, although you are a guest of the hotel.

The hotel you experience is NOTHING compared to the hotel itself. The owners have let this place ruin and the quality of the staff is worse. The only positives were the comfort of the bed and the location. Otherwise the bathroom was small and uncomfortable with only one frosted glass door shared between toilet and shower. The glass mirror hanging from ceiling was hanging on by a thread, huge danger and staff blew it off because its still hanging. Television did not work, they had already corrected it 2x before i gave up. Pool was green, this was the worst part because to me, it was the best amenity here. Staff said it was “chemicals, give it two hours”. Well 2 days later still just as moldy. Hotel breakfast was good, but the service was very bad. Unfriendly, and simply not wanting to serve, it was weird. Front staff stole an item left at the counter and when we went back to ask for it she was rude and snooty and looked angry towards us every single time we walked in the door. I felt like i was getting to work late or something every time she was there, staring angrily. Otherwise, fridge worked well, cute but useless deck unless you want to hear blaring music til 5am. There was a convenient store a couple doors down and taxis dont go all the way to the hotel, but pretty close. I would not stay here again unless there was a better room available.

The property is well situated within Playa Del Carmen. Being on the the beach was amazing, having breakfast or lunch seconds from your room was great. I would definitely stay again.

Bathrooms @ the lobby were nasty , not toilet paper . Housekeeping forgot to give us toilet paper and the receptionist said she didn't have extra paper. Very loud bar next to the hotel with loud music until 2:00 am . Very pretty hotel , with comfortable bed and big rooms . Hotel close to the beach .

Check in was at 3pm so we arrived at 2:45 the front desk lady didn’t show up until 3:20pm and when she finally showed up ot seemed as though we were an inconvenience to her and she never greeted us, never made us feel welcomed that day or any of the days we stayed at your hotel. We found out about the restaurant and rooftop pool when we were walking on the beach and they invited us in, we told them we were already guests but didn’t know those were available to us. I probably wouldn’t recommend this hotel just because of your front desk rep. The cleaning ladies were much more friendlier than her!
