This is our first time staying at a boutique hotel at Playa del Carmen after 9 consecutive years with all inclusive resorts. We thought we tried something different. I really like the authenticity of the hotel, we stayed at the staffs were really nice and our stay included continental breakfast at a nearby restaurant. The room is clean, there are towels for shower and for beach. Card accessibility to the room control the lighting and A/C which work really well. There is a coffee maker and fridge in the room; one day coffee is included but we brought our own coffee mix which we found convenient as we just use the coffee maker for hot water. We basically buy bottled water everyday, there are convenience stores everywhere...you can't go wrong.
The items I missed from our other all inclusive stays were the pool, I think it's an old building conversion so having a pool on site not really an option for them. It's definitely nice to have. The other thing I noticed is there are no hooks in the room or bathroom where we can hang our towel after use or before walking into the shower. We have to either lay nearby sink or hang on the shower door. They are definitely not deal breakers.
All in all, it's a lovely hotel. We will definitely consider staying here again if we decide to return to Playa del Carmen. There is a bar/ restaurant right across from the hotel called La Vagabunda; they have live bands playing in the afternoon and at night. Really nice!

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend. The room was spotless, grat location and beautiful gardens that go up to the rooftop. We stayed in the Master room with a jacuzzi and it was quite and private. The staff was courteous and very helpful from the beginning of our booking to the time of checkout. Saul defenetly make our stay feel like home. He answer all our questions and helped us with recomendations for entrainment and diner, he also help us arrange transportation that was on time and safe. Thank you Saul for your welcoming. We absolutely recomend this place to say.

Hotel was located on the Main Street with easy access to shopping, eateries and bars. The only drawback was the loud music from the local bars and the occasional sound of furniture being moved around in the room above me.

A quiet, leafy, hidden gem. I don’t always review (share) my special discoveries, but I must for this one. Many properties on the main drag are great until the thumping discos and live music nearby rob light sleepers of rest. In this peaceful place I’ve never had a restless night, a dirty room, met grumpy staff. Since my discovery 3 years ago, I’ve never even considered staying anywhere else.

A hidden and reasonably priced gem. You have to be paying attention to see its entrance. Staff always friendly. Desk manager Maria is always professional and welcoming. The Lobby is cool, peaceful and leafy. Nights are very quiet despite being roughly midway on the walking street. I’ve made some mistakes booking nice properties too close to the hubbub and all-night disco thumping further up the Main Drag

I wasn't expecting the Ritz Carlton at the rate I paid with whom I work with I was just expecting a good place to stay that was clean and convenient. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the property for being an older hotel and the service was excellent. I will be staying there again soon. My office is just down the street and when I come back for a visit I now have a very inexpensive place to stay.

This is a good hotel on 5th avenue. If you want to see everything on 5th ave, be prepared to walk! It was not that noisy at night to where I couldn't sleep. We stayed here to do nearby excursions so we basically only slept. The hotel is small but good enough for what we needed it for. The receptionist was VERY helpful, I wish I got her name but she was probably around 40-50 years old, slim with glasses. She helped us with pricing of tours & directions on how to avoid the super expensive taxis they offer nearby. The breakfast was basic but they offer a discount if you get other items. Please note the breakfast is not onsite, its a couple steps from the hotel - not a long walk! Overall it was good for the price we paid for 3 rooms.

A couple of small silly issues. The rooms don't have an iron and & ironing board, you have to ado for one from the front desk, which only has the iron, no board. And in the guest agreement, for \"security\", you aren't allowed to have guests. This is Cancun.

I booked this hotel suite for 5 nights & believe me, I got what I paid for.. the room was big but shower water pressure was horrible, both ceiling fans didn’t work, old TV & the bed was very firm. We also had a stack of mattresses outside our door the whole time. Noise outside of our room from the housekeepers talking loud in the morning. Continental breakfast consisted of just coffee, yogurt, fruit & bread anything else you had to pay extra at the restaurant outside of the hotel. There was no pool or jacuzzi at the hotel but it was on the main strip close to everything which was convenient but got boring quick, so I booked a hotel at another hotel nearby that was all inclusive & adults only so we could at least have a good time & I can have a nice shower. The staff didn’t seem to care, especially Ana. Maintenance tried to fix the shower head to get more pressure & sinks but the fans needed to be replaced. I was more disappointed about the shower pressure & fans to circulate the AC since the AC unit was on the other side of the room. Will not recommend this place.

Loved staying here! Right on 5th Avenue in the heart of Playa. Not on the beach but there are lots of places to get to the beach in minutes. The room was spotless and lovely. Bed was so comfortable. Sheets and comforter were the softest I’ve ever felt! We could hear a little of the street noise in the late evening but it shuts down and the hotel itself was very quiet. Front desk staff lovely and helpful. Thanks especially to Maria! Breakfast continental was included at the Italian restaurant on the corner which was good and convenient. Great if you want a quiet oasis after a day of fun in Playa!

The hotel was in the middle of 5th ave which is like Main street. You will have loud music until 2 am, but the windows drowned out most of it when they are closed. The rooms were cute, and the hotel had a nice atmosphere. The only down side is that the electricity only works when your key is in the room, which is an awesome idea. However, when you leave food in the fridge and then go out for the day you will come back to rotten food bc the electricity goes off when you take the key with you haha. front desk was kind and helpful, there are no phones in the rooms, but we asked if they could come knock on our door if we weren't out at 4 am, they were kind enough to agree. The final walk through was easy they just check to make sure you didn't damage anything. Beds are old and firm but clean and smelled nice, they had lots of pillows too! The hotel gave us robes and towels for the shower. They also give you blue towels to take out of the hotel and use at the beach in case you forgot your own and don't want to spend $30 USD for 1 towel at the shops. there's no parking, but we were able to find close parking nightly even during the 1st week of August.

Lobby was the only special thing about this hotel. I was put in room number 12 on the first floor in the back across from the bathroom.

I don’t know what they were doing, but there was noise all hours of the day. Like housekeeping was cleaning 24 seven. I could not get any sleep.

My room had a double bed, and a twin bed, a desk. The bathroom had no shower curtain. The toilet seat was so flimsy and cheap. They need to replace it literally is a plastic lid and seat!

I don’t know where the water came from every time I flush the toilet, but the floor would be wet!!

The price I pay was definitely not worth the stay here. When I checked in their key reader
Was not working. Therefore, they had to let me in to my room. And I had to be let into my room. Every time I came back into the hotel until later that evening..

The hotel is located more on the local end of the Avenue, then the tour seating. Which is fantastic if you want to check out restaurants that aren’t crazy busy.

It is halfway between two malls, also on the Avenue. About a 15 minute walk from the hotel to the. ADO Bus Twrminal.

DO NOT STAY HERE

We rented 2 regular rooms and the suite. It was all family, adults and 2 to a room. The beds are hard as a rock. The breakfast is only toast, fruit, yogurt and your juice….everything else is extra. On Monday we checked out, are deposit was given back to us and we were waiting for our ride to pick us up. Check out was at noon, we waited for our transportation like 30min in the lobby. Right before we left they said in one of the rooms a decorative pillow was missing and charged us $50 dollars for it. Really!! Who is going to go on vacation and steal a small decorative pillow!!!! We asked them to check our luggage so they could see we did not have it and they didn’t care to they just wanted the $50, so if you ever stay there make sure you take pics of before and after so they don’t try to charge for things that you so called stole. We will never stay there again and make sure our friends and family DO NOT stay there either.
