Excelent rooms and location, poor personal service

The rooms are excellent, two bedrooms with bathroom, three tvs with dvd and sky, great kitchen. Excellent location, one step away from 5a avenida. Buuuuuut, there is no phone in the rooms, have very few personnel, and not very interested in giving you the best of services, you can not charge your consumptions in restaurant, spa, beverages in pool to your room account. In review excellent hardware, very poor software.

Nice and great location

This hotel is really nice I would say, apart from some details. - No WiFi in the room. - Don't get the included breakfast. It is in the adjacent beach club Wickys where the service is just really, really, really slow. Go to some local place and get breakfast, or just pop into Starbucks if a simple sandwich and coffee is what you want. - The beach chairs you are supposed to have access to is in a separate little part of the same beach clubs area. Good luck getting the hotel staff to get you an umbrella. Just pay 50 pesos and get the Wickys staff to do it instead. Some days it was ok, other days just impossible. Apart from these rather minor details it's clean and really nice with good staff and you can't really beat the location. You are ON the beach and 1 block away from the main street.

Carbonzitos is a few blocks away with the best tacos you'll get along with a good price. If you feel like a quite nice dinner, go to Miguel at Santitos 100m from the entrance for some good food and a friendly owner in a small place.

Slice Of Heven

Traveled as a family of 6, all adults, to Playa del Carmen & Encanto el Faro condo/hotel. Three bedrooms gave us plenty of room. One negative is that bathrooms don't have access from living room/kitchen area. Beach is the best!! Minor seaweed, but it's picked up in the morning, early. Pool is wonderful, too. Walk up a slight hill to all the festiviities of 5th Avenue. Great restaurants, shopping, nightlife right there. No phones in the room, which is a bummer. Internet in lobby only, another bummer. But, hey, you're in paradise!! We ate breakfast & lunch/snacks at the condo, then splurged on a nice dinner each night. Saves quite a bit of $$ by doing that. Having a car is nice as we explored the area, mostly south to Tulum, Akumal, and a grocery stop at Chedraui.

Definitely go to Xcaret, an eco-park about 40 minutes south of Playa. It has so many things to do - and the buffet!! Awesome!! Be sure to snorkel in the cenote. Lots of fun.
