Pictures Lie

Extremely disappointed. Room had some nice features but there is obviously no upkeep or maintenance being done. Sink, faucet, and what looked like a Jacuzzi in the back were completely disgusting. Indoor pool had a rust or mold stain on the steps. Main pool looked like it wasn’t cleaned in weeks, cabana sofa disgustingly dirty. Bed sheets didn’t fit the bed, some were stained, and the comforter looked disgusting. Stove top but no pots or pans to cook with and vey few utensils and cups. The free breakfast basically was the same every day, either two eggs in three different styles, no meats, or two pancakes. If you want anything extra they charge you.

Cross fingers to have water on your stay

The property did not have water my whole stay and even they knew about it when I did the check in, I wasn't informed. I contacted Hotels.com during my stay and told them about the situation and they said they will reach out to the property in order to have a refund. Until this day the hotel didn't answer the calls or reply to any email. I asked Hotels.com about the refund and they didn't want to help because "the property didn't answer the calls or emails". I needed to escalate the situation to upper management to get inly a partial refund. Terrible experience from both sides.

El área de recepción y restaurante tiene detalles bonitos. El personal es muy amable a excepción de lo que parece que son los dueños que no dan ni los buenos días. Las opciones del desayuno son limitadas y carecen de sabor. Solicitamos el desayuno unos minutos antes para salir a tiempo en nuestro tour y no nos pudieron ayudar. La habitación tenía un olor a estar encerrada por mucho tiempo y en el baño un olor a agua estancada. La piscina se miraba con agua turbia, como que le faltaba filtración

Worst service ever!

The ac from the suit (2 beds & sofa) that i reserved was not working, after a few hours they offer me a room with only one bed and sofa and we were a family of 5, there was no way to sleep in a small room, I had to move the mattress from the upstairs to the downstairs in order to be able to sleep, I asked for a refund and they denied.

Based on previous reviews and photos, we were excited for our stay while we visited Xcaret park. However, upon arrival to our room, I noticed dirty walls in the hallway with bug residue. I was also disappointed that they assigned us a room on the 1st floor with little privacy. The walls inside our room were also visibly dirty. There was a foul smell coming from our bathroom sink along with small bugs all over the bathroom. There was no hand soap provided and when I asked the staff, they advised using the body soap found in the shower. It was the first time a hotel has not provided hand soap. The floors were dirty and the property has not been maintained. The only pros were that the staff were friendly, the pool was lovely & our booking included a free breakfast. My daughter comments that she is hopeful that this hotel will improve with proper attention.

Good value for the area

We really enjoyed the three bedrooms suite that accommodated our group well. The staff was friendly and very helpful arranging local affordable transportation for our group. We also enjoyed the large pool. Overall staying property was a great value for what we paid and we would definitely stay again. Suggested areas of improvement. A member of our group had an accident caused by the lack of maintenance of the irrigation covers that are in the middle of the walkways. It crumbled when stepped on causing multiple lacerations on their leg. Lack of internet bandwidth to support our group’s needs. Internet in room only usable in the middle of the night. The lack of a cable TV package or any broadcast or alternative TV signal made the televisions unusable. Insufficient water pressure in one of the three bathrooms.

We stayed at Casa Kaoba for 3 nights while in Playa del Carmen. I was pretty impressed. The hotel is beautiful and clean. we stayed in one of their larger rooms with a kitchen and patio on the first floor. Beautiful and spacious. The pool is huge, and their Pool hours are great. I would only suggest they invest in better mattresses, but otherwise for the price, I definitely recommend. It would also be nice to have more breakfast options. Will definitely return.

Friendly staff. Love the property decorations and garden and the best for us is that if are 5 in your family they can stay all together in the same room (they're big!!) Breakfast is good. Easy Check in and check out. If you need to message the hotel they will answer and help you. We'll be back and of course we recommend.
