Hotel Alux Playa del Carmen is cheap. That reflects the entire experience. One gets what one pays for. This hotel room was outdated, basic and quite unfunctional. There was only one sheet on the very hard bed, no comforter or blanket. The bathroom had no washcloths or bath mat. The sink in the living area did not work. The hotel staff speaks little to no English. After hours, a toilet plunger was not available, beware the hotel plumbing, it does not work properly. My first floor room had windows that did not lock, making me feel very unsafe. The shower drain did NOT drain, leaving inches of water in the bathroom. Bath amenities (shampoo, soap, etc.) were cheap and ineffective. Hotel facade is morbid. Walking in the area and seeing other, upscale hotels, made me regret my decision to stay here.

Mexican traditional. Plain and quaint, but adequate. A little Spanish is necessary, as staff struggle with English much like I struggle with their language. Spanish immersion. Close to downtown, Walmart, and the beach. Good value for the budget traveller.

Great place to charge your batteries

I enjoyed my stay here. The room was bigger then I thought it would be and so it was cozy. The staff were friendly and nice and honest with me. Very close to cocobongo but still quiet. Good location. No complaints.

Good budget hotel near La Quinta

I've been to Playa several times and it's such a great town, though getting more and more gentrified and expensive... This simple, cute hotel is in a great location, 3 blocks from the beach, one block to 5th Ave. Playa beaches aren't quite what they used to be. A Tulum-Playa mixed vacation would be A#1.

Hotel com excelente localização, quarto limpo e fomos bem atendidos. Muito bom custo-benefício. Hotel é simples, e por isso as vezes tinha barulho de outros hóspedes. Mas recomendo muito o hotel.
