Reviews and Ratings
The ocean view room was far away from beach activities and had a noticeable smell of mold, despite the helpful staff acknowledging the issue. It was the only fairly booked resort in Playa. The location is right on the beach with exceptional food options, but the room lacked proper air conditioning, causing discomfort. The dining experience offered good, but limited, variety. The service was very friendly and accommodating, with staff going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very out dated and sadly not very comfortable, reminiscent of a freshman dorm in college. On the plus side, they were spacious and clean. The service was phenomenal, with helpful and kind staff. The location was safe and in a secured area close to Playa Del Carmen. Unfortunately, the dining experience was subpar with limited options. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel offers basic rooms without extra amenities commonly found elsewhere, like no coffee maker or stocked fridge, and charges a daily fee for the safe. However, the spacious rooms are conveniently located right on the beach. The service is warm and welcoming, but improvements in room renovations are needed. The location is secured within a beautiful complex near the beach, with easy access to nearby shops and attractions. While the dining options lack some variety, the quality of the food is commendable. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay with room for enhancements.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, right on the beach and close to town, with friendly staff making the stay enjoyable. However, the rooms were a bit dated, lacking some common amenities, and had a lingering sewage smell. The dining options were average, with limited choices for breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms, though not as modern as some hotels, were clean and comfortable, with nice amenities like gel and shampoo. The daily view from my room was beautiful, overlooking the pool with a fridge stocked with drinks. The staff, however, seemed untrained and took a while to check us in, not meeting our room preference. The location was a bit out of the way but had nice shops nearby. The dining options ranged from okay to good, with a lack of variety after a week. The facilities seemed adequate overall.
The hotel offered spacious and clean rooms with free security boxes, but lacked sufficient storage space. Making restaurant reservations could be challenging as they often were fully booked. The service was a mix of very attentive staff but also some who were rude and inflexible. The location was amazing despite seaweed on the beach, although it was somewhat out of the way and required improvements. The dining experience varied from passable to poor with some areas in need of air conditioning. Overall, my stay had its highs and lows with room for improvement.
