“Wasn't long enough”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here mid Jan 2012. Location - Excelent - 1/2 block from beach, 1/2 blk to 5th Ave, 1 1/2 blocks to bus depot. Hotel- quiet, clean, comfortable, well kept grounds. Breakfast included with room rate, varied daily and all were very good. Rooftop sun deck is great to stargaze and sip your favorite.

Cons - Ice is not available on site nor is there an ice bucket/cooler supplied. The glasses(tumblers) are glass(a+) not plastic but are not freshly supplied each day. Tap water is not potable, but this is common in Mexico.
Outlets are scarce 1, under desk with t/v plugged in(other half used for laptop) and 1 in bathroom. There is no outlet near the bed, if my wife wanted to use her heating-pad she had to lay on floor or sit up in desk chair.
All considered I rate this as a 4.5 out of 5

Room Tip: There is an elevator in main building

“Perfect location, great staff, would stay here again! A++ :)”

My boyfriend and I stayed here in January, and this hotel didn't disappoint. The location was perfect, we could leave our hotel barefoot with just swimsuits and towels and be on the beach, or get dressed up and be in a nice restaurant, both within 2 minutes of leaving our room.

The complementary breakfast was delicious, with a vegetarian and non-veg option every day. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with everything. They let us leave our bags at the hotel while we waited to go to the airport on our last day and answered any questions we had. I sent them an email with a question after booking and received a response within 15 minutes.

The roof top balcony had a nice view of the ocean and the sunset over PDC. The pool was small but clean. Overall I recommend this hotel, its the second small hotel I've stayed in while in PDC and its my favourite so far, even tho it was about $50 a night cheaper than the other one I tried. I would stay here again.

The AC kept the room very cool and comfortable. The Housekeeper did a great job every day. Altho the restaurant next to the hotel was very loud in the late evening, I didn't notice it from my room. The only thing I found a bit loud was the cenote waterfall on the property. Our room was on the second floor right in front of it and I would have liked to sit with the balcony door open while we watched TV but it was too loud. They turned the waterfall off at night somehow tho so it wasn't that big of a deal. I imagine if your room was further from it or higher up you wouldn't notice it as much. And yeah, yeah, no one comes to Mexico to watch TV, but if you've been out in the blistering sun all day there is no shame in laying in your room for an hour in the afternooon watching an old CSI rerun with spanish subtitles while you recharge for the evening!! The TV was nice by the way, a little flat screen with several english channels.

Ignore the photos from 2009 and before, the main building of the hotel and the pool don't even appear to have been built yet in them.

Room Tip: check what is in your room carefully before booking, not all rooms have the same stuff. I thought th...

We stayed in this hotel in October and were very pleased. The rooms were modern and comfortable, Good Mexican breakfasts were included. We loved being in close proximity to the beach and restaurants.

The office staff were very professional and helpful. We will be returning in February.

“Great Place!”

person found this review helpful

This hotel is convenient to everything in Playa Del Carmen. The facility is clean and secure. I had a single deluxe room and it was huge. The maid service was super and every morning they offered breakfast in the courtyard. The pool is cleaned daily and the water is cool and refreshing on a hot day. The price is very reasonable and the staff always helpful and friendly. Airconditioning worked great and was very quiet.

Room Tip: I had room 206 and it was quiet.

We spent 5 nights here in June of 2001, and wished we could stay longer. Grounds are beautiful, staff was excellent, and location was perfect. We enjoyed the stay so much we are contemplating a return in the fall. This is the second time members of our party have stayed here, and the experience just keeps getting better. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Room Tip: All are nice. If you wish an oceanfront view, get the 4th floor rooms. The older building near the p...
