Arriving at the check-in of this hotel I could feel a strong stench of sewage from the lobby inside. Much worse, there is no elevator, and therefore the lobby is very dirty. Thinking times before booking will make your vacation a nightmare.

The staff tried to be helpful after asking a few times to be moved. The smell in the first two rooms they put us in was so horrible I slept on the balcony the first night cause the smell was nauseating that was coming from the sewer pipe in the bathroom. Very noisy in the front. They put us in a room in the back and ithe smell wasn't as bad and it was quieter. Breakfast was good and served buffet style.

Book it only if u don't have another option

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The first night, we had to change rooms because the AC was spitting a large amount of water and ice at a plug on the wall. We had a mini swimming pool when we entered to the room. The shower curtain in this room was the cheapest curtain you can imagine. The some of the hooks were missing, so it was very trashy and ghetto specially with the price we paid. Also this hotel had internet issues, so they didn't have internet for my 2 days. I was lucky to have data in my phone. The 2nd room we stayed, was better looking but still too much $ for what we got. There are better and prettier hotels in playa for the same or less money. We had another family (we were 2 adults with out moms) coming up to playa, so we left the hotel and we booked a different one bc I knew it wasn't the best and the non Internet was a big problem. The girls at the reception were nice and always trying to help. I never saw a room like the one they show at these pictures. It is like 2 diff hotels
