Tuvimos un tema que nos cambiaron múltiples veces de habitación y después su TV no servía y nos terminaron cobrando una cantidad tonta según porque nosotros dañamos la TV y la cantidad que pagamos por una TV que la verdad no es buena ni nueva es tonta. No vuelvo a regresar. Eran mi hotel para llegar a playa pero nunca más regresaré

Normally when I go to Playa Del Carmen, I stay at all inclusive resorts nearby but often find myself going into town a lot. This time I opted to stay right in town. The double suite I got was large and spacious. The location was great. It was convenient to the beach and to 5th Ave and lots of dining options. The staff were really great too. I would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff, room was always clean. Breakfast was always delicious, pool was in shaded area of property so we chose to use the roof top pool across the street which was perfect. Also the beach was a block away as well as famous 5th Ave. Very ideal location with inexpensive accommodations. Simple and favorable property conditions with 24 hour staff. If your on a budget this place was great!

Wifi does not work in the bedrooms. They only cleaned twice in a 7 day stay although we had asked them on two different days to clean and said they would but didn’t. We booked an extra night with front desk at a certain price only to back to pay and it was a much higher then told. We didn’t extend our stay.

Great location and excellent customer service

No hot water in room 201. Mirrors slightly dirty. Sheets/pillow cases smelled of body odor. No WiFi, no tv that worked. Good location, excellent customer service, made every effort to appease problems, was provided with free breakfast at nearby restaurant which was very yummy. Nice atmosphere, gardens. Rooms were larger than expected and nice. Bed and pillows were comfy for enjoyable sleep.

The state of the place shocking and the service. The noise form the stress is so loud. When I checked in I was given a bed sheet, so I had to make my own bed and the sheets were so thin. The utensils in the space hardly exist and the one that are there are flirty and dirty. It was use and no one washed them. I asked the staff about directions to travel, his answer was I don’t know and asked me to seek the tour operator which scared me. I believe the hostels and the tour operator are connected There is no hot water. The air condition was never switch on so the room was too hot and the place is dirty.

Bruised up lady and toddler

Fell down the stairs since they decided to use plastic slick paint on the handrails which are also covered on tree gunk, the stairs are steep with a few remnants of anti slip strips, those are nearly eroded from I suspect are multiple falls. The staff heard the commotion and witness the bruises on myself and my toddler, their answer was to evade the topic and just indicate that they couldn't take care of it because of bad weather, some rain. On the last morning there was a block energy blackout and of course this dingy place had no back up power, which led to us precariously trying to not fall again while climbing the death stairs now without any light to help find the last remnants of anti slip strips No TV service, bad WiFi, bad toilets. This place is lucky I'm not litigious which might be what has led to such an abismal service.

They advertised free wifi but there was none in the only air conditioned room. Air conditioning was only from 9 pm to 9 am and you couldn’t turn it on. They came into your room with the remote. The hostel rooms had no locks on the bedroom door OR on the hostel communal rooms. It felt very unsafe. There was no storage big enough for a suitcase. I had to fight for over two weeks to get a refund after I checked out after one night. There was extremely loud music blasting until midnight. The best thing going for it was the instagram worthy exterior.
