Cozy Oceanfront Room

I stayed in a beautiful room that provided a stunning ocean view and came equipped with a kitchenette. The high ceilings made it feel spacious, and the big balcony was perfect for enjoying the sunset. It felt like having my own little retreat right by the beach!

Comfortable Beds

The king-sized bed in my room was incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep after long days on the beach. The linens were fresh, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the room's decor.

7.8/10

This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Playa del Carmen, providing easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and I found the staff to be extremely helpful and friendly. However, the experience was somewhat marred by the beach conditions, which were not ideal during my stay, and the dining options could use some improvement.

The pool area was well-kept, although it was more of a lounging spot than a swimming area, which could be limiting.

We spent an incredible 10 days here that's ideally located right on the beach and just a short stroll from 5th Avenue. Our room was spacious and clean, with a beautiful terrace where we enjoyed the sound of the ocean waves. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, making our stay even more memorable. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi could be spotty, and we did experience a minor issue with the toilets. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and a peaceful getaway.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the beach access was limited and accompanied by an unpleasant odor due to sargassum, I found the accommodations comfortable and enjoyed my room's amenities. The dining options were decent, but the location offered a nice ambiance. It's a shame about the beach situation because otherwise, I think it could have been a great experience.

This hotel is a beautiful gem right by the beach and offers a peaceful atmosphere despite its lively surroundings. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, making it a fantastic value for money. Breakfast is decent and served right to your balcony, which is a lovely touch. However, I wish the pool stayed open later and the check-in process could be more flexible.
