your man at the desk would not let me in with my service dog. Your ad on hotels.com said that service dogs were ok. He was tude to me and unkind. he did not care that I had no other place to stay. I asked for a refund and he said no. so you will either refund my money now or I will file a claim with spread word on the internet of your very difficult hotel!!! Michelle

No Wifi for 3 consecutive days in the rooms, wifi was available at main restaurant though. Location is great. Right on the beach. People talk about walking across beach to get to hotel, its 30 feet off the street via beach. Rooms are very basic, not dirty but no extras at all. No blanket on bed beyond sheets for example. Breakfast is great, good omelette and coffee, friendly staff. Office staff are so - so, not looking to help. Location is perfect, on the beach, close to everything and central.

The biggest problem I have is that you actually have to drag all of your luggage through the sandy beach to get to hotel. Also lots of mold under wall AC unit. Only way in and out of room is through sliding glass door with very questionable lock. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the room or sleeping at night. There are many choices on the beach here. I would recommend finding somewhere else.

The beach was wonderful and the staff at Playa Maya were so amazing and kind!! We really loved the people working at the hotel. Beachfront access is awesome. Also, food here is actually quite good for an included breakfast. The facilities like shower etc are not luxurious, so if that is what you’re looking for this isn’t for you, but it is clean and nice enough for the price! I would definitely recommend this hotel based on how well we were taken care of.
