Adult couple with no children. We had a nice 4 night stay. Our room was clean as was the hotel overall. The bed was quite firm, and we slept ok, but may be an issue for some. Hot water in the shower took several minutes. Front desk staff were helpful and friendly - thanks again for the recommendation of El Fogon - best pastor tacos! And after returning hungry from a long excursion day, the manager gave me her donut! The hotel and amenities were exactly as described - pool and beach were beautiful, and pool/beach chairs were available for guest use, with sunbeds requiring a minimum consumption. The beach club staff were friendly and didn’t pressure us to order, which we’ve often experienced at other beach clubs. What was not explicitly stated and what compelled this review - the beach club plays music from 11am to 7pm. Our room was adjacent to the bar and it was very loud, maybe not so loud for the other rooms - but for us, unexpected and loud. If your plans include afternoon naps, proceed with caution.

The location was second to none. Right on the beach and a perfect location for walking the main street of Playa del Carmen to restaurants, shops and bars. We also walked to World Gym for a session twice from our room. The bathroom was a bit stinky but I think most of Mexico's plumbing smells like that. It wasn't too bad after flushing the pipes out for a minute.

Beware beach access opens at 11 AM and closes at 6 PM. You eat breakfast behind a cage looking at the beach if you like to party and enjoy yourself this is not the place besides it’s outdated.

The hotel is nice but they need to do more with the facilities. There are no kini fridges in the rooms so is an inconvenient for guest that need to keep medications cold. Granted they allow to store them in the restaurant's fridge but then you are at the mercy of the hours of operations. The restaurant's is nice and right on the beach.

People were nice but one of the girls working in the beach club wanted an extra tip, which I think was rude. The breakfast offered only eggs and extra sugary French bread. The only thing good was fruiti. The hotel is old and it doesn't look clean, everything is stained and old. It looks like they don't do anything to remodel or make it somewhat better. But the good thing is that we had our room cleaned every day and given clean towels and had our sheets changed one time. This is unrelated to a hotel, but there was sea weed all over the beach and it produced a horrible stench.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom/3 bath apartment.The hosts are super friendly and helpful however the room could use some TLC. The faucets have calcium buildup(not a super big deal though). The apartment is clean overall but there is mold on the bottom part of the wall in the living room area. It stormed one day and we found the cause of it. The sliding door area that leads outside leaks when it rains, therefore we had water everywhere in the living room. We did inform the front desk and they came and cleaned it up quickly. The beach club is included. We did not have the breakfast, but we did swim and have a few drinks. If you dont tip very well, they will question the amount you give them which was a little rude. The person did apologize the next day and we did enjoy the rest of the time we spent down there even though it's a little pricy for drinks. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. Location is perfect, hotel staff is amazing, the beach club started sour but ended up being relaxing.

We paid for a room with more space, two beds and ocean view. The ocean view was completely blocked the glass was extra dirty. They moved us to a smaller room, one bed and no balcony. If we canceled we wouldnt get the full refund due to their policies. It was a complete rip off. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. We had to park blocks away because they didnt have any parking nearby. I think the only partially good thing was the Mexican scrambled eggs.
