Our toilet didn’t flush at all and we didn’t have washcloths the entire time. Outside of that, it was a bit clean and the staff was friendly. A little extra effort and this could be a nice place to stay.

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 However, the room was outdated, there is no privacy in the restroom so be mindful If you are not going with your partner.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?

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.

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.

Great location
This is a boutique hotel with a Fantastic location!! On the Beach and a block away from 5th avenue. The have a restaurant on site that transitions into a beach bar (on the beach) called the Sand Bar (I think). The deck 5 Sky bar give a beautiful view on the ocean. The deck 5 sky bar is on the smaller side (but very nicely down) as it is a boutique hotel. We will stay there again. The beds are great for …..
