Hotel Muito bom Para quem vai a trabalho

Hotel muito bem localizado e muito confortável, mais o serviço na recepção na chegada não foi nada agradável, nenhuma água e nem um café são oferecidos na chegada. Muito menos um copo para beber água ( quando solicitado um copo a recepção informou que não teriam e não estariam autorizados a emprestar e nem mesmo ter descartávies para os clientes, para quem chega para umas ferias e descanso não seria o melhor lugar a ser indicado mais se vc vai a trabalho e passe todo o tempo fora do hotel ai sim pode ser uma boa pedida. O serviço de room service não existe. As meninas da limpeza e arrumação dos quartos são as que salvam o atendimento e cordialidade do hotel. O café da manhã: não esta incluso e não é servido a vontade.

Higiene y limpieza

El hotel está bien, tiene aire acondicionado y lo mas necesario para estas a gusto en el día. estuve en el hotel 8 días seguidos, en ninguno de esos días cambiaron las sabanas, ni colchas, ni fundas de mi ropa de cama; es un tema que sí me importa mucho y mas con esto del COVID.

Hotel sin agua para tomar y olores raros

La. Limpieza es algo cuestionable porque la. Cama y las almohadas olían feo a tipo motel, donde gente fuma y esas cosas. Los olores son raros en la habitación. Llegamos a las 4am no había agua ni de complemento en la habitación ni vendían. Nos tuvimos que aguantar la sed porque no era potable el agua del hotel. Hasta el día siguiente pudimos tomar agua.

Muy buen ubicado si tienes auto, el estacionamiento es muy cómodo, seguro y amplio. Te han en cuenta esto ya que otros hoteles el Playa del Carmen ofrecen estacionamiento pero es en la calle o son espacios muy limitados. En general la habitaciones cumplen con lo esperado.
