Definitely great for the price. Loved the two pools (although I didn't have time for them with frequent activities). Only 3 blocks away from 5th Avenue (Quintana Avenida). There were great restaurants nearby. Very clean. Loved seeing the Mayan culture on the walls. A more traditional and lovely hotel.

My stay here was satisfactory. It was comfortable, easy accessible, clean, convenient, and put together. My room was great it had a balcony that had a view to the pool area (which was green and relaxing), had more than enough storage area, the bathroom was clean (the shower head could have been wiped and the water pressure wasn’t all that, but it did the job keeping me clean- just asked for them to clean it. No big deal. The associates were helpful just not very attentive. All three pools were all clean! Where the hotel was located was perfect walking and travel distance to everything. I would recommend this stay.

Great stay for a few nights in playa del carmen. Very central in the city. The only place I’ve ever stayed in Mexico where the air conditioning was too good! The breakfast wasn’t great (very limited choices from a menu) and alot of stairs. Not a problem for me - but definitely could be for some (especially as an elevator was out while I was there). I’d definitely stay again.

Check in was very easy, and they let us into our room a little early.
The door to the balcony, which is accessible by other balconies, doesn’t lock. The front desk attendant said he’d send maintenance but never did.
No sound insulation. Room tiny and with a kind of strange smell. The bed is rock hard.

Cutest Hotel

I checked in at La pasion hotel entrance, quick checkin, lovely front desk staff. Escorted to the room, which was very cute, clean, with a nice covered balcony overlooking the pool. Small fridge with ice cube tray, if you want to make your own ice. Roof top bar only provides ice for drinks not room. Reasonable prices for drinks. Comfortable loungers poolside. Breakfast was included and selection was very good, always started with small fruit plate, coffee or juice and then your choice. Oxxo steps away, Walmart 2 blocks. 10 minute walk to the beach, if that, steps from 5th ave and secondary Addo bus stop in case you are using it. I loved the hotel and would go back in a minute. But the best part was all of the staff, so friendly and professional.

Extremely quiet right across from a huge Park and I was here at Christmas and over the New Year's and very very beautiful with Christmas decorations in the park.

Property has nice common atrium/garden area that is secluded and looks like small paradise. There, among tropical trees you have two small swimming pools and jacuzzi. Its very quiet and people use it to relax and read book. This is in addition to the pool and jacuzzi on the top of building. there are also other seating areas o terraces and in hallways. It was difficult to find entrance to the hotel and we passed it few times since the main entrance to it on the side street is not used but the one on the main street facing big square and that entrance does not have the hotel name but only the name of the adjacent hotel. This was not clear from their instructions. Our room was clean and nice but small and when you put kingsize bed in it there is little room left to hardly walk around bed and only one chair without work space. That is one thing we did not like about this hotel but luckily the hotel has great common areas. Bathroom sometimes have a bit of sewage smell but that seem to be common problem for many boutique hotels. There is no coffee/tea making facility in the room and no small fridge but at the reception they have tea and coffee and even filtered drinking water which was convenient. Stuff was very friendly and gave number of great tips and suggestions. The included breakfast was very basic. Hotel is greatly located near Walmart and 5 avenue and many restaurants and beach, all in walking distance.

This was a very cozy hotel, the rooms were very nice and the garden view patio felt like we were nestled in the heart of the jungle. The people at the front desk were very helpful with our luggage and with getting my TV remote to work. They also let us drop our luggage early so we could go visit Tulum!! I would give them 10 stars if I could.

The best of the hotel is the front desk service. Conrad was always very helpful.
The breakfast is ok to start the day. The room we got was OK but they need to invest in new pillows, new bed sheets, new towels and new pool towels. Also, the elevator did not work during our stay of 6 days.
The locations is very good, close to 5th Ave. and El Centro. The pictures don't reflect the reality of the hotel. I would not go back there.

For the price and free breakfast this little treasure cannot be beat. There are 3 pools and 3 hot tubs. The garden area is simply beautiful with all the green lush plants. The garden has 2 pools both which were clean and not crowded which is nice cause you can really chill out and do your own thing without feeling like you need to make small talk. There's one hot tub located in the garden and two on the roof top which is also where the other pool is. The hot tubs aren't fancy or that hot but they get the job done. I watched the sunset from the roof top many nights. The room itself is cozy it could use a fresh coat of paint but it's not disgusting. The TV and bedside clock are a bit outdated and I wouldn't consider the facilities to be luxury by \"American standards\" but it is nice enough to feel safe and comfortable. My main complaint is the bed. It's SO FIRM and not enough blankets. I woke up multiple times due to being uncomfortable. There is no iron but there is a mini fridge and hair dryer in the room. The staff was friendly and some spoke English. They were nice when I showed up at 11:30 AM and let me check in at 1:30 although check in technically starts at 3 PM. They don't have a locked luggage room but they do place your luggage where they can see it in the main lobby. This hotel is about a 5 min walk from Walmart and a 10 minute walk from 5th Ave which has all the shopping and beach access. It's a couples resort but I and other solo travelers still felt welcome!

This is a good hotel. The structure is solid and beautiful. I gave it a 4 because it needs to be pressure washed and freshly painted inside out and it’ll be what is was intended to be.

Nice hotel ,good location- but it is really The Hotel La pasion - not sure why it has 2 names .
Nice boutique hotel roof top pool is excellent rooms are small but comfortable.
Sadly there was a fire on our 3rd night and the hotel had no fire alarms and no systems in place for such an event. Fortunately the fire brigade knocked on our door and escorted us out. There was no role call and no hotel staff enquired if all was well.

An oldie but goodie X

What a lovely stay we had here, we stayed on 2 more nights. The staff (especially Walter) were super friendly, asking if we were ok consistently. It's a typical Mexican feel. If you're looking for clean lines and white walls this is not for you. It's quite dark in places but honestly we loved it. Where it lacks the modern look, it is far superceded by an authentic Mexican feel. I have to mention the Artisan coffee shop underneath and the Tapas bar on the night time..right on the doorstep. Why go and pay double on 5th Avenue? The Beach is a 5 minute walk as is Walmart. Thank you for a lovely stay xx

Nice place, but impossible to navigate.

I hate to say this bc the rooms are clean, the staff is so incredibly nice, but the hotel is like a maze or a labyrinth. It was impossible to get to/from my room. I got lost every single time and there were no internal signs to help. Checking out this was a problem bc I barely made my shuttle. Otherwise the rooms are small, but clean. The bed was comfortsble. Everyone was nice, esp Walter! But this hotel entrance is hidden and hard to find. Cab drivers get mad. So I would just go to La Pasion hotel (which is connected) but could never find my room or how to get out. It was truly like a maze. If they put up maps and internal signs, that would help. I feel bad leaving a mediocre review. If it wasn’t so confusing, I’d give it a 4/5. Other guests commented on it too and constantly asked me for directions and vice versa. Again, internal signs and maps would be sooooo helpful. Thanks.

Beautiful boutique hotel

Beautiful boutique hotel. Spotlessly clean. Lovely staff. Comfiest bed. The pool area is gorgeous. A beautiful garden with two pools and a hot tub. There is also a pool and two more hot tubs on the roof. Excellent location. Easy walking distance to fifth avenue and the beach, but far enough away to be peaceful. The only downside was the dreadful wifi. However, for the price we paid we have no complaints and would definitely stay here again.

truly great / can only warmly recommend

truly amazing staff and a fantastic location in Playa del Carmen
The only area that, to my eyes, could do well with an improvement was the bed. Big, nice but way too soft to my gusto :)
The room was absolutely fine and \"spacious\" enough but indeed at times a small desk would help. As a remote \"office\" it would not work though there is space and good wifi on the roof of the main building.
Now the air conditioning system was efficient and silent. The WiFi worked well during my 2 weeks stay with 6 to 10 Mb up and download values and there is a small fridge in the room that was very practical. The noise insulation could be better but that is only true when very loud people book some time at he hotel.
Breakfast was very good and the team was simply amazing so that ensured a great start in the day.
The guys at the reception were so helpful and so friendly. I cannot say enough.
And the hotel is a 5 minutes walk to the sea/beach and a 2 minutes walk to Walmart (very convenient ;-) ... and there are plenty of great restaurants around.
The area is quiet, especially if you get rooms facing the 2 small swimming pools on the inside.
I spent time in the morning and late evening on the roof to relax and enjoy. The few lounge chairs were great and I did \"swim\" in the pool to complete the experience.
I guess I will return asap :D
Playa was not very busy due to COVID.. which helped for getting a better experience. The best beaches are 20 to 30 minutes walk to the south. Worth the walk ;-)

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location

Check-in was quick. Staff was very friendly. Room was very comfortable. Bathroom was nice with all amenities including Robes. The location was perfect, walking distance to beach and 5th Avenue, just blocks away from Coco Bongo where all the tours pick up.
The hotel itself was very quiet though, we sat by the pools during the evening and it was very peaceful.

We stayed 2 nights and breakfast was included. Breakfast was choice of cup of coffee or glass of juice, small fruit plate and a choice of one of 6 hot items, I chose a Mexican omelet and my husband had chilaquiles with egg. Both were good and was enough food to take us through lunch on our tour.

We often stay in Playa to meet with friends before heading off to Akumal for an all inclusive stay. This hotel was perfect for our \"pit stop\". Definitely a good price.
We will definitely stay here again.

I can't complain much because of the lower rate. Very nice and breakfast a nice amenity. Our toilet hugged the wall and shower door could only open half way. When we decided to stay 2 more nights, they gladly moved us.

Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions or concerns. Pools were not heated but very clean, however there is a heated jacuzzi open until 10pm :). Overall quiet area unless of course your neighbors decide to be noisy. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend this place for those looking to be near the strip but not right on it!

It was accessible to the beach, shopping and really convenient to find amazing local restaurants.

Lovely hotel, great stay.

This is a great boutique hotel in Playa Del Carmen. It’s combined with La Pasion so I’m not really sure which I stayed at, but I liked it. The room was good, the bed was comfy, AC was perfect, had a gorgeous balcony overlooking the pool. I stayed for a week and would gladly return.

Lovely , gorgeous property. The staff did all they could to accommodate any need I had. Would stay again , and again bring earplugs (travel 101) as the old room doors make a bit of noise in the old close hallways... but the design of the place is its charm and again - the staff was so wonderful!

The hotel closed/locked the front doors prior to the stated time both days we stayed there, but it was easy enough to access through the adjacent property 24 hours.

I initially had difficulty accessing the Wi-Fi, because the password I was given was incorrect (all letters indicated were in the wrong case) and although everyone seemed interested in helping, no one followed through. I ultimately figured out the problem on my own.

But otherwise this place was great. Our room was clean, had plenty of storage space, easily accessible outlets for charging.

The area was safe & close to attractions.

The pool area was lovely & there was plenty of shaded or sunny spots to lay down if you desire.

The breakfast was wonderful! Lots of options and plenty of tasty food, whatever you might like to have.

There are multiple convenience stores near by to get extras as needed too. Etc...

Would definitely come here again.

Beautiful property as far as more “economy” hotels go. Lives up to “boutique” vibe in details and decor throughout. Clean. Reception (mostly at La Pasión after hours), clean, and wait staff were great. Close to 5ta ave, Walmart, and combis/colectivas to Tulum, Akumal, etc. Great breakfast made to order from a list of options (omelettes, sandwiches, chilaquiles, cold cuts) at the hotel restaurant on the main floor. Some minor maintenance details throughout (loose bathroom door hinges, chipped tiles, clunky secondary locks, unswept floors) but nothing the staff wouldn’t be willing to resolve if it became an issue. Would recommend to friends and family.

The whole experience at this place was HORRIBLE, the hotel lost power on one of the hottest days of our stay and they didn't have a contingency plan, they didn't have water for guests, we had to ask for it, we couldn't use the bathroom cause there was no water so if you needed to use the restroom they will grab water from the pool for you to flush the toilet.
The employees were smoking on the common areas.
The person who said it was the manager told us that if we were not happy we could check out and look for another hotel! We asked if we would get credited for the nights we didn't use and he said yes.
More than 2 weeks passed after we came back to the US and the credit never made it to my card, when contacted the hotel, the person who said it was the manager in charge said he didn't know anything about the case and that the name they gave me for the person who was supposed to be the manager didn't work there.
Overall a horrible experience!

La Leyenda was the best hotel I have ever stayed at! We were in Mexico for 9 days and our 3 days in Playa del Carmen were some of our favorites thanks to this amazing spot and the exceptional service. The rooftop pool/hot tub area is perfect with lots of shaded beds, loungers, and an excellent bartender! It wasn't crowded so we always felt like it was our own little piece of paradise. There are also 2 more pools and a hot tub on the ground level with a cool jungle vibe. The included breakfast is amazing (you get to choose from a menu of hot egg dishes and traditional mexican dishes). What really makes this place stand out is the service. The hotel staff who checked us in and helped us out during our stay were all incredible. We met some guests, who were regulars, and ended up going out on the town with them! This is a true gem. We will definitely be back.

El Hotel ahora se llama “La Pasión”. Tuvimos muy buena estancia y buen hotel relación calidad-precio. No es un hotel de lujo, pero tiene todo lo necesario para hospedarse varias noches y pasar unas buenas vacaciones!

La habitación es grande con televisión con Netflix, aire acondicionado, una nevera pequeña, una cama doble (Kingsize) muy cómoda, un balcón para sentarse y relajarse (tiene dos sillas grandes y una mesita pequeña) y con buenas vistas al patio interior lleno de plantas bien cuidadas, donde están las piscinas. En el baño renuevan diariamente botes champú, jabón de manos, acondicionador para el pelo, bodylotion, discos de algodón y bastoncillos para los oídos. Además de toallas de cuerpo tanto para la ducha como para la pisicina. En el baño deberían renovar la ducha (sobre todo la alcachofa) y el lavabo de manos, por el resto no hay quejas.

En el hotel hay tres piscinas de tamaño medio: dos en el patio interior del hotel y una en la terraza de la azotea. Antes había varios jacuzzis, pero ahora están fuera de servicio y los han rellenado con plantas para decorar. ESO DEBERÍA APARECER EN LA WEB. En ambas áreas hay duchas al lado de las piscinas y dos baños. Además, en la terraza hay una barra para pedirse bebidas que abre a partir del mediodía.

Si reservas el desayuno incluido tienes la opción de elegir un plato principal y una bebida, que siempre vendrán acompañados de un plato de fruta fresca cortada. En nuestro caso: melón, sandía y papaya.

Pour commencer l'entrée par rappport à l'adresse est source de confusion et m'a fait perdre beaucoup de temps pour trouver. Ensuite j'ai réservé une chambre avec un grand lit et vue sur la ville et je me suis retrouvé dans une chambre avec 2 petits lits. Après il y a un manque énorme de modernité dans les chambres ou il n'y a que 2 prises électriques (dont uen dans la salle de bain) pour recharger le téléphone. Au moment de ma réservation dans le descriptif il y avait le petit dejeuner pour qu'au final on m'annonce pendant mon séjour qu'il n'était pas inclus et pour finir la nonchalance de la personne à la réception qui s'en fichait d'etre la ou pas. Bref je ne renouvellerai pas l'expérience

Excelente experiência. Equipe sempre atenta e muito solicita. O hotel tem boas piscinas, um café da manhã básico, mas bem gostoso e bem feito. Tivemos também ótimas dicas de roteiros e passeios. Voltaremos certamente. Obs: o hotel na prática é o la passion. Muito bem localizado. Sem barulho, mas perto de tudo.

Hotel excelente exceto cobrança de gorjeta no cafe

Hotel surpreendente, com pinturas nos corredores e vão central com vegetação e chafariz. Muito bonito. Eoof top com piscina e bom atendimento.
Exceção o atendimento no café da manhã, não atendiam bem, e vinham tentar cobrar gorjeta todos os dias, mesmo para café da manhã incluso.
