Friendly staff, room was always clean. Breakfast was always delicious, pool was in shaded area of property so we chose to use the roof top pool across the street which was perfect. Also the beach was a block away as well as famous 5th Ave. Very ideal location with inexpensive accommodations. Simple and favorable property conditions with 24 hour staff. If your on a budget this place was great!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a disappointing experience at this hotel. Most of the staff do not speak English, which made communication very difficult. The only exception was the lady working the late-night shift — she spoke English well and was very helpful and kind We had to ask twice for our room to be cleaned, and even then, they only changed the bath towels. The bed sheets and face towels were not replaced. Unlike other hotels where daily cleaning is standard, here you have to specifically request it. In general, the staff were not very welcoming. Breakfast was okay, nothing special. The hotel and rooms are quite old and definitely need renovation. For the price we paid, you can definitely find a much better hotel. I would not recommend staying here.

Childcare services terrible. I had asked for a crib I didn’t receive that. Baby’s spill lots of stuff and there was no napkin or extra towels to clean up. I asked the staff for anything to help and they said they don’t have any and if I used their towels and stains were made I will be charged. It’s in the middle of the city so there is many people drinking and lots of noise. Definitely don’t recommend for a child under 3.

Normally when I go to Playa Del Carmen, I stay at all inclusive resorts nearby but often find myself going into town a lot. This time I opted to stay right in town. The double suite I got was large and spacious. The location was great. It was convenient to the beach and to 5th Ave and lots of dining options. The staff were really great too. I would definitely stay there again.

First day manager or owner not sure she was very helpful. But it was very load night time. Under the hotel it’s a bar and not possible to sleep. We request another room. We were lucky they had one gave us bigger room. They didn’t clean new room very well. Couple spots easy to see dirty. Also breakfast only 2 plate option and small. Breakfast employee was charge us tea because we order coffee and isn’t like so we want to replace our coffee with tea but they charged. It’s kind of tourist trap like other mostly places in the area! We didn’t extend our stay in same hotel! Needs improvements!
Stove was giving error. Didn’t work
They broken and empty. Least needs to fill!
