Hotel is aesthetically pleasing. The staff are only helpful when prompted they don’t go above and beyond to interact engage or assist. There are no benefits to being at the hotel. It’s really just a room. Needed improvements: engagement with guests in helping us to provide feedback with surrounding activities would be a major plus, information given was either expired or nonexistent. Maybe continental breakfast, local fruits, and glasses to drink water at the fountains would also be helpful.

Very clean, great friendly and helpful staff! Only negatives are noise at night from location on busiest street in town (5th avenue), hot water is not quite hot enough, no microwave, no coffee in room (although they offer coffee outside in the courtyard in the mornings). Some mornings you don’t feel like going out and downstairs to the courtyard to get your first cup of coffee…Without earplugs we would have never slept. Music blasts until 3 am and then road workers started to bang until 5 am. Impossible to sleep. But if you go out until the wee hours, the morning is relatively quiet!

Solo traveler

Hotel Lunata was for me the perfect place to stay in Playa del Carmen. It is a modest sized hotel located in the heart of Playa with beautifully appointed theme rooms some of which overlook the town's main shopping thoroughfare (Quinta Ave) and a backyard area and patio that is pleasing and peaceful. As a solo traveler I found my room to be plenty big, impeccably clean and well maintained and attractive. Plus, the air conditioning worked wonderfully. The room was also reasonably quiet despite the noise produced by the many restaurants and night clubs located nearby.
Kudos, too, to Nikita, the front desk host who was so helpful in recommending things to do and places to visit and making all the arrangements for these activities as well. Her assistance was invaluable and she made my stay in Playa so much more enjoyable.
I will definitely stay at Hotel Lunata on my next trip to Playa and I would encourage you to do the same. You won't be disappointed.

This boutique hotel was very cute and we were happy with our stay. The staffs were very helpful and attentive, and the hotel was chill despite it being located in the middle of the busy area.

That said, We had to carry our luggage one freight up, and as we were exhausted after a week long travel in other areas, we hoped someone from the hotel could help us with our luggage. Same when we were leaving.

We also had a rental car, and did not receive any information on the parking or driving instructions, so we were a bit surprised that we could not drive to the front of the hotel. we had to carry luggage for a few blocks, which was not a big issue as we only had 2 luggage, but it was not super convenient.

Personally I preferred to end our vacation with a little more secluded/ quiet area, so probably chose wrong city to stay before coming back to NYC. as the area is in the middle of the busiest area in Playa Del Carmen, we heard dance music and people shouting till late (not too bad, but still could hear).

Small boutique hotel with pleasant ppl working there. I was looking for a place to crash…as I’m active on vacations. I would say the TV not working was the only negative. AC was fantastic. Small breakfast, but I don’t eat breakfast. If you want loads of extras, try the Hilton. This was just a cute place to crash at night. Btw, if u like centrally located, yet still quiet at night, this is it.

Gorgeous, Friendly Hotel

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Michelle and her husband were wonderful. Our room was very spacious and the hotel’s hand carved stone entrance and aesthetics are divine. Their tip on where to park made check in very easy. Breakfast was great value and served in the pretty garden at the rear of the property. The hotel is right on Avenida Cinco but Michelle gave us a local Mexican restaurant to try away from the tourist strip and it was excellent.

Avoid This Hotel at All Costs – Outrageous Makeup Fee?!

I’ve stayed at many hotels all over the world, but never have I encountered such an appalling, money-grabbing policy as the one at this place. If you dare to use a towel to wipe your face, expect to be hit with an additional fee. It’s absolutely ridiculous that they’re charging for something so basic and common. I never just wipe my face and leave the whole towel full of makeup without rinsing it with soap, so it’s easier to clean. All it needed was to be laundry like every other hotel does. Get black towels if you’re going to penalize your guest for using them, and don’t know how to properly wash!!! This is what happened to me, no telling what else they nickel and dime people on after the fact.

To make matters worse, I had an incredibly stressful experience when I returned to the hotel after hours and found myself locked out, with no one in sight. I banged repeatedly on the gate, and called the hotel so many times with no answer. All I thought about was protecting my daughter who I had out there on the curb and thought I had to book another hotel for the night despite us not having any luggage just to get us off the street. Finally I screamed once again bloody murder into the gate, and someone showed up. I was fighting tears. But guess what, I never mentioned it the next day to the staff because I consider myself a nice person and I didn’t want the night employee to get in trouble. But to now be hit with this fee!!!

The loudest bars are further up 5th Ave. The hotel was perfectly clean and our room was beautiful! The service was great. They answered all questions and called our taxi when we left. Will definitely stay again if I come back to Play del Carmen.

We had a great experience staying at this hotel. It’s a small (10 room) Hacienda style hotel. It’s very colorful and vibrant and the rooms are so nice and well kept. The bed was a little too hard but the overall experience was great. We stayed facing the garden which is better due to the noise at night coming from Avenida Quinta. The locations is perfect on the Main Street where you walk out to shopping , dining or quick beach trip that is a 3 minute walk. Lots to see and do. Hotel employees arel very nice and friendly and happy to recommend and book any tours for you. I would recommend and would stay there again.

The property is right on 5 th ave so it does get a bit noisy at night. There is double pane windows and it helps a lot. I didn't feel any issue with the noise.

The staff are super helpful. Being in 5th Ave you have access to all the party places and great food places in under 5 min. Beach is a 3 min walk away.

We had a fantastic stay! It's a true oasis away from a very noisy street. They've done incredibly well in sound proofing with double sliding balcony doors cutting it out.
The decor is beautiful, the beds were so comfortable, the staff were beyond helpful and kind.

Only poor point was the very lacklustre included breakfast. It's white bread next to a toaster with packet butters and jams that have melted from the heat. There's also 3 cereals and some coffee. It's fine if you need your stomach to not be empty, but I'd recommend going to Choux Choux Cafe for the best breakfast in town!

Here is the real deal on this hotel. I stayed here 2 weeks in June 2024. It can be a 0 star to 5 star depending on your situation. First, the rooms are quaint with unique Mexican design and decoration. The AC runs super well and keeps you very cool. The provided drinkable water coolers and personal water pitchers is a necessary and welcomed touch. My kids and wife loved the 2 king beds we had, but I felt like it was too hard.

The location is the reason I gave the hotel 2 stars. Rooms can overlook Quinta Street which is where the main action in in PDC. This provides lots of fun and constant people watching opportunities, but it also provide constant noise. The noise in the hotel room is CONSTANT. Music plays all day from the Mexican restaurant next door...it starts a little after 7am and goes well into the night. I never noticed when it actually stops because ~11pm the nightclub a couple doors down the street begins and its extremely loud speakers drown out any other noise. This music plays nonstop until 3am. The bass is so loud you can literally feel it in the mattress. If this is the scene you are looking for, where you can walk 50 feet and be in a happening night club, have a bunch of drinks, and stumble back easily to pass out in your hotel room, this is a 5/5 rating. If you want any chance of getting a peaceful night's rest, this is a 0/5.

The staff is SUPER nice. Don't be a cheapass and make sure to tip the housekeeping. They do a great job.

No pool. No parking.

Gem in the city

Our hotel experience was great. The facilities are beautiful and our room was very clean and spacious! I was a little hesitant about the location, “and the noise”, but when you get inside of the room is moderately quiet considering this is a downtown location. I would stay here again!! My room was facing the courtyard in the back.

The hotel is charming and well appointed. Super clean. Unfortunately it is noisy - as it is on 5th avenue... Also, although I was assured the windows are double paneled, the doors and windows do shake, and you can hear all noise :( great place if you need to stay close to the bus or ferry station! Not for light sleepers.

Wonderful Stay!

We had an awesome stay at Hotel Lunata for the first leg of our trip to PDC. The location was perfect right off of 5th. The sound level was also pleasantly soft being right on the main avenue. The staff was very friendly and helpful! Thank you again.

Very nice place in the centre of the 5th Ave., Too bad it didn't have a pool though after a full day in the sun and sand it would be nice to sit in the pool.

Breakfast could of been better.
Overall, the hotel was very nicely decorated and very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay again!

AMAZING. I (18F) and my friend (18F) traveled to Playa Del Carmen from March 31 to April 5, and we stayed at Hotel Lunata from April 1 to April 5. We had our apprehensions about staying in Cancun because of safety concerns as young travelers. However, at Hotel Lunata, we felt so safe. The staff truly cared about our experience. They recommended a safe bank to go so we wouldn’t get scammed, and allowed us to drop our key off at the front desk every time we left the hotel. This ensured we would not lose the key and could go to the beach without worrying it would be stolen. And we were given free towels for the beach as well. Every night at 11pm, they close the gate to Hotel Lunata so it feels even safer. The rooms were so clean, and the shower was so cute. We also had a street view which was a fun time. There was also a safe where we left our passports and other valuables, and clean, cold drinking water on every floor. I only went to the complimentary breakfast once, but the toast, jam, cereal, and coffee served was all absolutely delicious. Safety aside, the actual hotel itself was gorgeous and affordable and just a walk away from the beach. It honestly felt magical. And there are so many good restaurants nearby which were decently affordable. Overall, our experience was 10x better because of the caring staff at Hotel Lunata, and if we ever come back to Playa del Carmen, I refuse to stay anywhere else. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

Room was clean and spacious. However, there is no lift but lots of narrow stairs. If you have bad back or lots of stuff, not right for you.
Also, noise is another level. It feels like ‘ok, I can sleep in this level of noise’ before 10pm but after that, seems like whole street become a club till 3am. Because of base sound, ear plugs don’t really help.
If you will be out there until 3am, it’s really good location. Easy to get anywhere, lots of bars and restaurant around. But if you have bad jet lag like us, it can ruin your next day schedule.

Accept the noise and stairs, the hotel is lovely. Affordable price, good room size, clean, good water pressure and easy to go all the places.

The property and room were absolutely lovely. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the interior courtyard where we sat with morning coffee and watched the birds in the surrounding treetops and watched the sun go down in the evening. It is a charming hotel in an ideal location for Playa's restaurant/beach scene and easy access to the ferry to Cozumel. We loved our stay and would highly it.

We really enjoyed our time at the hotel Lunata. The staff were awesome. I would give them a higher rating than excellent if I could. They made the trip easier and helped arrange transport and even helped us find a hotel in Cancun when our flight was cancelled. The hotel grounds are beautiful and quiet, a nice repreive from the busy Quinta Avenue that you walk in off of. The rooms are unique and very well done in a Spanish style. There are no shortage of restaurants and shops to shop at and the ocean is a quick two minute walk from the front steps. Very convenient location. Will definately stay there again!

Authentic Spanish architecture, quite courtyard just within the walls of main 5th street of playa Del Carmen. Great A/C , big balcony, large shower with lots of water pressure. Very secure, late night gates are locked to property. Just out side your door is everything, beach 1 block, Central Park, Public transportation, and restaurants for everyone’s liking. Definitely was an excellent choice for our vacation and will likely return in the near future.

Cell phone of my wife has disappear from our room.

Well,, the first 2 days was fine until' someone has get in and took the cell phone of my wife in our room!!! we are 100% sure, no doubt about it. Very very disappointing, it is a small hotel they should know who they are hiring. You can understand that I can give a good quote to this hotel.

This hotel is located in a great area, right in the middle of 5th Avenue, which allows you to walk to many places like restaurants shops etc. Staff members were very nice and actually started conversations several times which made me feel very welcome. They offered cleaning service. However, it wasn't always done even when I expressed my desire to receive the service or utilized the Sin 4 the door. They offer a basic breakfast which is great for when you have to leave for a tour right after. This place may not be for those who are looking for a quiet hotel. Since it's located right in the middle of a very busy street. You will definitely find a lot of noise until late hours. You have several clubs and bars around that operate past midnight. Great if you like night life but not the best if you want to mostly rest.
Overall, this is a great option that has a great location and offers very cozy rooms!

Nice traditional hotel on the camino

I love this hotel and all of the people who work there. I immediately felt like family or favored guest. The grounds are beautiful, cool, and well maintained.

The only shortcoming for me was that my room faced La Quinta and it was loud at night until the nearby bars closed. Earplugs helped and I slept well overall.

Garden rooms are available and would definitely be quieter.

The beach is nearby and many fantastic restaurants are within walking distance.

Lunata is boutique and extremely charming. While on the property you almost feel like you are in Old San Juan or even Cuba. The vibe and the staff are incredible!
If you are a light sleeper or looking for total quiet, Calle Quinta will present a challenge as it’s fairly loud after hours.
