Overall I enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean but a bit small. Not bad though. The restaurant next door is very good. The WiFi is the only thing I had an issue with. It was sketchy at best. It was a bit noisy at night but quieted down after midnight. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Hotel Colonial is not a luxury resort, but it is more than adequate. Nice pool. Clean room. Safe and good location in Playa del Carmen. Programable room safe. Friendly staff. Restaurants and entertainment close . Beach is only a short walk away. Not far from ADO bus station.

Poor Communication

Communication was poor before arrival. Comments said front desk closed at 6:00 pm and I was arriving close to midnight. I sent several messages to them before I got a clear answer that there was a front desk clerk 24 hours a day. Also, I had booked a room with picture of a fridge, but they told me in comments no rooms had fridges. I had one after all. Comments did not explain to you that there is an elevator too.

I absolutely loved the pool.Enjoyed staying there for 10 days.Now the negative.The hotel requires the guests to leave an ID in order to get towels for the pool, we left my wife’s ID and they lost it which is unacceptable. We had to leave without her ID. She‘s still very upset.

I would give it maybe a 3 stars. My room had two single beds hard mattress. There was smell like cigarette, a hole on the ceiling and woke up one morning and had no water. Very little hot water and WiFi did not work. ☹️

The hotel was very well located. The pool and all the shared areas were very clean (the cleaners worked tirelessly). The rooms were a good size. The towel policy was a bit difficult (i.e. you had to leave ID, which seems weird since they already had your information including credit card info. Also, their policy on sheet changes was draconian, i.e. we stayed a week. Mid week, my daughter asked for a sheet change and was told the cost would be 700 pesos which is almost $50. This seems excessive since if we had stayed 1 night, they would have changed the sheets for the next guests.
