My 3 girlfriends and I stayed at this gem of a hotel in April 2012. First off, the photos on their website and Trip Advisor don’t really do it justice. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had made a great choice. It’s charming, comfortable, well located and carefully maintained. After seeing a variety of other hotels we could... More

I stayed here in Feb 2012 for about the fifth time in about 10 years. I completely concur with the previous reviewer as I cannot fault the hotel nor the family who run it. I recommend it to all. More

We stayed at this wonderful place in June, 2011. I was with a group of 6 and we rented 3 of the bungalows. The family that runs the hotel made us feel like family every day!! The restaurant is open for breakfast & dinner and the food is great!! The pool area is clean & comfortable. Loved the air-conditioned bungalows... More

We recently stayed at this hotel and were very impressed with what we experienced. The rooms are a great size with air conditioned rooms and satellite TV. The grounds had a pool and a restaurant (very yummy!). Everything was clean and the people were friendly. We did a walk in and were fortunate enough to find a room. After biking... More

I did not stay at this place, so I cannot say whether it was a great place, but I will say that the hotel emailed me 4 days before I was supposed to leave for Costa Rica saying they accidentally double booked the room and we no longer had a place to stay. I was extremely disappointed to hear this,... More

We've stayed a week in Ritmo Tropical and loved it! The rooms are spacious with fridge and big safe and a lovely porch where we regularly sat. Poolarea is beautiful, with comfortable deck chairs; pool was also for small kids very suitable. There is even an outdoor fitness area, that we didn't use (far too hot), so don't know the... More

Ritmo Tropical is a great value - approximately $60-$70/night depending on the season. Great location - only a 3 minute walk from surfing at Playa Carmen, but yet just off the main road - so quiet and peaceful. I believe there are only 7 casitas on the property, so the pool area is the perfect spot to relax after surfing... More

The Ritmo Tropical is so beautiful !!! The cabinas are modern, clean, quiet, roomy, private and for longer stays the owner was willing to reduce the price. The staff was pleasant and the grounds immaculate - including the pool. You can hear the surf from your room at night unlike another hotel down the road with an 'on the beach'... More

I stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks and it was AMAZING! Everything was top quality and I enjoyed every moment there: relaxing in the pool, enjoying the big room with many windows and perfect Wi-Fi, exclusive food, and most of all - wonderful welcome from the family that runs the hotel. They all became friends and made my stay... More
