My first Mexican vacation was awesome! The beach location in Playcar Phase 1 was the best part, it felt super safe and private. Most nights the food was great, and lunch had lots of good options.
There was some seaweed on the beach, but the Mexican people worked super hard to clean it up fast.
If you want a romantic, quiet, or family spot, this place is a winner!

I have stayed here at least 6 times, every time I’ve come to Playa and it’s always been the best. Not because it’s the newest or fanciest but because it’s location is perfect, just 1/4 mile walk to downtown Playa, right on the beach, never overcrowded, the staff is so friendly, helpful, and always in a good mood and remember my name, give it a try you will love it!

This was a “ buyer beware” situation for me. I have been there a couple times previously with family members who have had a timeshare for 30 years and always stayed in nice quarters. This time I paid for my own one bedroom. I was put into a studio “ cave” with no window. That was NOT what was advertised. Of course, I was unable to get it changed. The ocean view is fantastic. Except for breakfast, the food was mediocre, at best.
The servers are wonderfully helpful, the resort staff’s most often refrain to any guest was “ I’m sorry”.

The beach at this hotel was gorgeous. We left a hotel close to Mamitas Beach because of the sargassum and the smell and color. We made our way down to this hotel and it was wonderful. The staff was very attentive, the food was delicious, and the area was very quiet and cozy. Will definitely be back. We typically stay in the busier area of town, but a taxi ride was 10-15 min away and cost $100-200 pesos.

Stayed 11 nights and really enjoyed it. This place is located inside the Playacar gated area. Nothing super special about this place but boy did we feel comfortable and relaxed here. The servers in the restaurant and beach cafe were just awesome. Special shout out to Noe and Samara. These 2 were just a step ahead of the other excellent servers. The cleaning gal for our room couldn’t have been any nicer. The whole staff was always there with smiles to make your stay welcoming. All inclusive was worth it. Breakfast was fresh and good. Dinner changed each night and was very good. Lunch at the beach cafe was just ok. Beds were comfortable. Will definitely check out again if in PDC.

The staff, especially the wait staff in dining room, Julissa, Genaro, Guillermo, Rigoberto, and Noe were professional and very friendly. Great service. Liked food in all inclusive due to quality and menu driven, not buffets(except breakfast, but did have cook to order items as well). Pool loungers were too low to ground, too close together, had to crawl in and out of them. Only had one bar (Pool ) and the liquers and mixers were the worst I have ever had. Only had one beer Dos XX Amber. Not my favorite Mexican beer.

Friendly staff, my king bed room was sufficient. Smelled old, couch had mold. Check in was fine, pool and jacuzzi is not heated. All inclusive saved lots of $, lunch menu really nice dinner not great. Only keg beer. The hotel layout of the pool and beach was nice, mostly timeshare folks older crowd. 10 minutes walk to 5th Ave for shopping and restaurants. Taxi only back to Airport $100! Or ADO bus.

great place, perfect beach, honest advertising

Was perfect for us - relatively small resort (only 60 suites), big wide beach, after we god a free upgrade - 1bdrm, 2bath, 2 balconies apartment, we loved it. First place was a standard room and it was really depressing.
Staff is amazing, they take a really good care of the place, great Spa, everything is clean and convenient and clean. Internet is everywhere and working well.
Very good food, but very limited choice - only one option for each meal. Only 5 types of wine are offered - 3 reds and 2 whites and they are cheap.
Minuses:
- we had an AI option, so probably they are trying to be frugal, but cocktails are terrible mostly (only 1 bartender makes a decent cocktails)
- showers are terrible (we tried 3 of them). But I think it's easy to fix.
We will definitely come back

The all inclusive experience is fair to poor. Dinner quality was mediocre at best and the staff was not very accommodating. We met family who stayed in another unit and the dining staff was resistant to moving two tables together, a fairly simple task.

One restaurant and one outside grill. Staff kind of rude. Liquor at the bar on display was of a fine quality but liquor provided was in unmarked bottles pulled from under the bar.

Maintenance issues from faulty circuits to power problems. Fridgerator took two days to suffiently cool down. Maintainece reported it was too full and needed fewer items in it.

Breakfast is fine. Dinners were ok at best.
Pasta night was terrible.

Beach plagued with green sea grass that needed to be buried by an employee everyday. (Not the resorts fault). But other resorts had a tractor in site an racked their beach.

Pull out couch mattress for the 5 guest was 1 inch thick and looked to be about 20 years old. Murphy bed was fine.

This place needs a complete overhaul.

This place is NOT a resort. Absolutely horrible

This is not a resort. They staff was not helpful at all. During checkin they took our info and literally didn't give us any info. They have two bars the pool bar closed at 5 everyday therefore you had to go into the lobby to get anything after 5. You can not get a drink after 10:30 including water. The one restaurant has only 3 options everyday. Lunch is the same 6 items every single day. Worst place I have ever had the misfortune of staying. Also hit you with a beach access fee at checkout. Do not stay at this \"resort\"

Quiet Hotel, Beautiful Beach and Pool and Hot Tub!

Great hotel in a quiet and leafy part of town away from the madness, but close enough to walk and drive to the center of town where the action jus by the pier. It was a one night stay to relax and use the beach and pool. They gave me free drinks too! It was a fun location! Easy walk/drive to center of town where the pier and all the action is. Check in was a little slow because I made a late reservation. If you do this arrive early at this hotel!

Wonderful hotel on the beach

We arrived 30 minutes before check-in. We waited about 15 before they were able to accommodate us. We loved the room. It was a significant upgrade from the cabanas in the jungle we just left. One of the restaurants was under construction, so only the italian place was open. I would return for the view and the quality of the rooms, but I think I would go with the meal plan option as opposed to the all-inclusive. We travelled around Cancun, Ek Balam, and Playa Del Carmen, eating at places we probably shouldn't have. But my stomach was most upset over the dinner we had at the Italian restaurant. The breakfast buffet was great, and sadly we didn't get to try lunch. But we ate dinner the next night at a taco stand in downtown Playa and it was so much better than dinner at the hotel.

Overall, only issues came with the restaurant. The hotel was wonderful in every other aspect. This is my first all-inclusive experience and as honeymooners, we were really excited. I would love to come back to this hotel in the future to spend more time on the beach.

Nice small hotel close to the beach and Playa del

The Fishermen we like very much and planning to come there back.
But there was a great disappointment:
Our flight was at 5 pm at Cancun. After arriving at 7 pm to Fishermens we were told that there is not room available.
Even we get the confirmation for the reservation and I called 2 days before arriving and was found in their system.
Now they said we are not in the system and Expedia did not provide them with our reservation, what was not true.
We were transferred to Hacienda Tres Rios, where the beach was not acceptable at all, you cannot swim in the ocean
because the see plants. Thanks to Jennifer, reception manager, we were transferred back on the 3d day of our 6 days vacations. So we lost 3 days of our vacation because the main goal of our going to Mexico was the ocean swimming.

Not only does a nice hotel with a great beach make a vacation excellent, but so does the staff. If I could take three of Sunset Fisherman's staff with me anywhere I traveled I would. Alex, Andy, and Angel were amazing staff members who went above and beyond to make our stay beyond enjoyable. They are great people person's who are knowledgable of not only the hotel but events activities, and surrounding areas and their activities. They were great at recommending travel and activities. We especially loved playing water volleyball with Alex and Angel. Andy make a special note and effort to call our room and ask how we were doing and if we needed any room service every night we were there.

Was over booked

We booked our trip through expedia and wanted to stay in town of Playa. When we got to the hotel we waited hours to be checked in only to find out that they were overbooked and we were sent to Tres Rios that is out of town. The whole reason we wanted to stay at Sunset Fishermen is the location and we were very disappointed that we were not able to spend our vacation that we planned in town.

Nice smaller hotel with nicest beach

Nice hotel on quiet, residential street with friendly staff and great beach. My husband and I spent a week at Fisherman's in December. The beach is lovely, uncrowded and the sea is warm and calm. We usually only ate breakfast there, we don't eat meat and the menu was pretty limited for lunch and dinner. Not really a problem for us because we like to get out and explore. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to central zone. It's a pretty street with nice houses and even some ruins. During the day you see lizards and agouti, at night you can see bats, raccoons and if you're lucky, coatis. We had a car but we like to walk and we stayed out late most nights. There are also plenty of cabs in Playa if you need one.

Cuando llegamos a hacer check in nos comentaron que se les había caído el sistema hace un par de días, nuestra estancia ya estaba pagada de antemano pero ellos decían que querían volver a hacer el cargo de la estancia en la tarjeta de crédito para que ellos estuvieran tranquilos y que después harían la devolución, a lo que me negué rotundamente, se les mostró el cargo que ya se había hecho a la tarjeta de crédito y ya nos dejaron de molestar, pero fue muy desagradable la alegata, y otra cuestión que pedimos vista al mar y nos mencionaron que por haber hecho el pago por medio de Expedia no teníamos derecho a tal beneficio lo cual me pareció muy descortés

La recepción no fue del todo amable. Se nos inundó tres dias la habitación y el hotel ni se inmutó para cambiarla en el momento que comenzó el problema. Una noche me caí por pisar agua a oscuras mientras me dirigía al baño. No prolongamos la estadía por la mala predisposición de la gerencia la cual en ningún momento nos atendió.

No vino el bellboy a llevar las maletas al cuarto, tardaron demasiado en atender en el bar y a la hora de la comida. Las habitaciones son buenas, y es ideal para personas mayores de 50 años.
Jamás tuvieron piñas coladas, comentando en una hora traerían ingredientes para hacerlas. Nunca llegaron los ingredientes y me fui del hotel y jamás tuve una piña colada.
Al hacer el check out... se quedaron con mi depósito. El Señor Arturo Durán fue el encargado de cerrar la cuenta (no faltó nada, no se debía nada) e hizo el check out de una forma en la que cuando llegué de vacaciones a mi casa me di cuenta que el señor antes mencionado me cargó el depósito a mi tarjeta. Estoy en proceso de reclamación espero que me puedan devolver el dinero que me cobraron de manera errónea.
