Absolutely nothing that I liked, extremely disappointed with this property and the staff that running the place, lack of communication since no one spoke English, rudeness and disrespect! All they do is set behind the counter eating and drinking Meta an Argentinian drink, elevator broken, hand doors and balcony doors are broken, blood stains all over the towels and sheets, safe in rooms are broken, shower head broken, noise from outside because doors are not sealed and secured, wet paint and painting and construction outside your door which makes you feel like you’re in working zone not a hotel. I mean everything was wrong about this place, which should be delisted immediately from all vacations sites.

The hotel is half under construction, the rooftop patio could be so much more but, generally, the hotel seems kinda abandoned. Good area but do not expect quiet as there are roosters across the pedestrian street (which allows cars) and a club nearby is very noisy until about 1 or 2am. Staff was friendly and tried to accommodate. Rooms clean and amenities work.

Great helpful staff, loud club noise from nearby a

Elevator doesn't work, no repair plans, and our room was on the 4th. The desk clerk carried our bags up for us! Housekeeping is the best: extra decorative folds of towels and TP. 😍 Continental breakfast 😜 Nice rooftop pool. Location good and bad: half block to beach 👍 late late loud noise from Frog's 👎👎👎

Great locations and surprisingly quite!

This hotel is in the center of the nightlife and a half a block to the beach. Very spacious rooms. However the first night I did not have hot water but they quickly fix that problem. My only complaint was the elevator did not work and I had to walk up 5 flights of stairs with heavy luggage and no one to assist. Other than that I would recommend.

If you are a light sleeper in this hotel is not for you the bar next door is open till 3:00 a.m.every night blasting music. Only got 3-4 hr sleep each night Si tiene el sueño ligero en este hotel no es para usted, el bar de al lado estĂĄ abierto hasta las 3:00 a. m. todas las noches con mĂșsica a todo volumen. Solo dormĂ­ de 3 a 4 horas cada noche.

Nice stay near everything

My room was really good, the bed comfortable and with a sea view. It is perfectly situated just beside the beach and very central in Playa del Carmen. Nicolas helped me when the remote control for the aircondition did not work, and he has a very nice attitude and knows service. Thank you. Not everyone speaks English, so Google Translate or a dictionary is handy. A lot was fixed during my stay. Workers did a good job with plants around the pool area and the elevator was fixed my last day. I had wished a more healthy breakfast, but that is very personal. I definitely would go back if I had the same room again. Yes, and you need earplugs to sleep.

The staff here are great but the new owners have let the property deteriorate. If you can't climb stairs don't stay here because the elevator has not worked in quite some time. The breakfast are rolls and coffee and you will be eating in an area under renovation sitting at a card table with folding chairs. Shame on BFH (the new owners), before Covid with the previous owners this was a charming and reasonable place to stay with a full breakfast in the once attached restaurant.

For the price I’m not sure what I expected. The staff was very nice and friendly and the room was clean, and the AC was cold. The elevator does work and the towels were very old and they didn’t “look clean.” Our sliding door to the balcony and the safe did not work. The housekeeping was inconsistent (one time we did not get the full bedding, one time we did not get new towels, when we arrived all the water was left on in the shower). The location great by the ocean but for me being by Senior Frogs made it hard to sleep, it was loud until about 3 AM. I won’t stay there again but for the right type of trip it’s just fine for the price.
