Great location in heart of Playa Del Carmen. Hotel has nice rooms and design. However, has aged and could use a bit of TLC. Roof pool area is small and there are no lounge chairs, just couches and normal chairs. Overall, descent place to stay at a good price point.

The location is excellent, right on 5th avenue, you can walk around everywhere and it’s right in front of the beach. However, the room was outdated, there is no privacy in the restroom so be mindful If you are not going with your partner. The balcony didn’t have a lock which made us feel unsafe. They denied our request to get more towels because only one per guest was allowed. Keep in mind there is no room service so there is no phone in the room for any needs you may have. If you don’t about any of those, the location was good for the price?

Do not go here if you plan on enjoying the beach or the pool. There is no umbrella coverage anywhere on the property and no pool chairs upstairs. They refuse to put umbrellas up on the beach even though they have them. Total of 6 chairs for the whole hotel. Music is blasting until midnight every night. The hotel itself is also run down with lots of water/moisture damage. If you like to party and want to be in a busy and loud location, then it could be recommended.

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.

This was my third stay at this hotel. The staff is great - both Lupeta and Joceline at the reception were a great help throughout the stay. The free breakfast is generous, location is perfect right at the ocean. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Missed for being a 4.5 star property. I would call it a 3.5 star property. Location was great, a block from 5th street. Hotel lacked 4-5 star amenities. There is no phone in the room. Bathroom door is sliding and doesn’t allow for much privacy. Balcony was nice with a view to the ocean. Bed was comfy, but the tv would not work. Had to screen record our phones to tv and that didnt work half the time. Affordable option, but dont expect 4 5 accommodations. The rooftop bar was nice, they had live music and a great view. Centrally located to everything. Recommend taking ADO bus, station is about a 10 minute walk from hotel. From cancan airport it was about 25 pesos.
