The staff was amazing!! Feliz, was very nice and helpful. Yanissa, was super nice and her family. Always very attentive to our needs. One of our best choice to stay. Room were are very clean. We are coming back soon.
Was excellent service, rooms was clean, a/c very very good :) iur favorite time was at the breakfast. Be sure that you carry on extra cash for tips and extra food. Pool its more like big spa but very very good time we spended at the top roof. Thank you!! God Bless you.
If you're looking for simple, inexpensive, breakfast included, in the center, and 2 minutes from the beach, then this will work for you. The entire staff were kind and helpful.
The resort is top notch for cleanliness and maintenance. Our room was spotless every day. Staff are amazing

The hotel is well located but its very noisy, to dificult to rest as the sound outside is very loud and you can hear anything outside and onthe hotel inside your room. The staff is friendly, but the breakfast included is laughable, would be better to not include the breafast on the price, and charge it apart and offer something better and bigger portions, even the milk was not included and charged appart.

Room, Staff and overall amenities were good. The one main problem is the loud music around the hotel. It is 1/2 block away from one of the most popular bars.

Staff was great. Location was great. Room is outdated compared to the photos. Rooftop pool was not in great shape.
. The Pros- spitting distance from the ocean, restaurants, 5th avenue, and a very decent soaking pool on the roof. The cons- The bed was hard, and i mean really hard. If you are an early to bed person, remember that this little gem is right in the middle of party central. So it is going to be loud later at night. Overall, for under $50 USD a night it was worth it to us.
The hotel is nothing like advertised.
The room was dirty, leaking shower. The pillows are enormous and uncomfortable.
The hotel is just rundown. Location no is great
Great place to stay to be in central playa del carmen! Right next to the beach and beside the busiest avenues! Lots of fun! Hotel staff very friendly and respectful! Beautiful spacious room!
room was good and big....great suntan deck and pool.....employees very polite and helpful...big thank you to Yasuri for answering all our questions and making our 2 week stay comfortable....

I like that the person at front desk,( Paulo) was very friendly and helpful with whatever I need
The staff is very friendly since enter the lobby and all around the property it's clean they clean your room every day the only thing is that they change the linens every three days
I found this hotel to be very convenient to the beach as well as 5th Ave and all that it has to offer. The hotel and rooms were clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful and great service. The air conditioning was cold and the water was hot. Highly recommend and will book again.
The staff at the hotel desk was amazing even tho most didnt speak fluently english they used all technology available to understand and help accommodate our stay.
The area is beautiful plenty of shopping and amazing art and shows within walking distance local bars clubs and nightlife are everyday until early morning which is amazing I will return

The hotel is half under construction, the rooftop patio could be so much more but, generally, the hotel seems kinda abandoned. Good area but do not expect quiet as there are roosters across the pedestrian street (which allows cars) and a club nearby is very noisy until about 1 or 2am. Staff was friendly and tried to accommodate. Rooms clean and amenities work.
Suited basic needs, clean room, rooftop pool area was a nice & spacious, excellent location within walking distance to shopping & restaurants, 1/2 block to the beach. There was no elevator & the continental breakfast included only toast & weak coffee.

Great helpful staff, loud club noise from nearby a
Elevator doesn't work, no repair plans, and our room was on the 4th. The desk clerk carried our bags up for us! Housekeeping is the best: extra decorative folds of towels and TP. 😍 Continental breakfast 😜 Nice rooftop pool. Location good and bad: half block to beach 👍 late late loud noise from Frog's 👎👎👎
