The room is very nice, and the staff is terrific. The cleaning services every day are very good and the views from the hotel are great and the location is great. It’s right next to Muza a very nice restaurant. There is also a restaurant in the hotel when tourism is at its peak.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was clean, missing a bathroom mirror. Music from the restaurant was extremely loud until late at night keeping us awake. Beach loungers were old and falling apart.
Although staff members in general were nice there was one receptionist by the name Mina who not only wasn't nice to us but we felt being treated by her differently. We were the only one being told that the check out would be 11 oclock despite our clear written time of 12 pm. Whenn we indicated that she was very nasty about it. Also when stating the rules, she was very intimidating. We didn't see this treatment with other customers while waiting. We really believe thisvwas a result of us being minarity group. The other receptionist was very nice and even told Mina in spanish that check out was 12. Other staff members were nice.
The location was great for this hotel. However the staff was rude and dismissive. Also, a couple of our rooms were not thoroughly cleaned even after mentioning to cleaning staff that there was a roach in the room.

Great location, property was a bit outdated nice rooftop staff was nice.
Very nice room but definitely starting to show its age. Main vent in center of room leaked water the entire stay. For the proce and location its well worth it though.
Great location, amazing room views, great staff. Building itself a bit run down; it has unique features, feels like on a cruise. Would recommend for the location and uniqueness.
The property is well situated within Playa Del Carmen. Being on the the beach was amazing, having breakfast or lunch seconds from your room was great.
I would definitely stay again.
This is a great location at the center of 5th avenue the busiest street in Playa de carmen. I would definately stay there again for a great location purpose.
Amazing stay! Easy to check in, right in the middle of the city and the beach. Amazing view from the rooftop and very spacious room. Excellent for the price point
