Poor service, the staff was late to clean our room, and we were out exploring all day. When we came back we still had to wait 20 minutes. The property was not taken care of, there is water damage and mold in the walls and old rusted rails and chairs. When it rained the cushions were not brought in which lead them to be damp and smelly the next day. The bath towels also had holes in them. The person In the front desk was always on their phone and we were never greeted. I am a pretty relaxed person and even debated on leaving after the first day but I tried to toughen it out. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are way nicer and clean hotels along the beachfront!

We were unprepared for this particular place. The hotel Kinta Kan has some nice photos and as for rooms with a beachfront view there it was blah. This hotel may have been pretty nice at one point in time but is now like many of its neighbors in a row of beachfront hotels that either are abandoned or under minimal renovation. This place is in bad shape. Looked like there were a few former bars in the pool area and lobby but now just decorative. pool needs repairing and there are dangerous rusty grates around the day beds that we tripped over several times not to mention that the beds were moldy because they don’t take them in when it rains. They did on occasion store other mattresses behind the pool bar thrown behind like a pile of trash. The main bar located under the 7 beachfront rooms that don’t have balconies but actually just a railing in front of sliding doors serves the whole establishment and at night is locked down with rusty gates!!!!!! The room and toilet were so so but dusty with a dirty toilet that never flushed and they did nothing about it. At the end of our stay there were heavily rainstorms and the roof leaked like a sieve as well as the shower leaking on to the floor so much we had to set up towel dams. If you were hoping for any peace it will never happen because the bar music begins at 11 am continuing until six pm but augmented and competes with loud drunk groups playing every kind of music on the beach all night long often right under your window.

I loved kinta kan boutique. The staff was very helpful and amicable. They were always there to support us and listen. The boutique has a great location . The beach is right in front, the swimming pool is awesome and the hotel is very near restaurants ,stores and public transportation. My room door had a problem and staff was efficient to help me change rooms. In general i really enjoy my stay and would recomend kinta kan. My friend and i went on a slow season , this past July, so the place was quiet and relaxing and staff had more time to connect and offer great ideas about places to visit.

Property looks nothing like the pictures online. Those were the original pictures. When the property opened up, the properties run down rusted. The rooms need to be painted. A lot of water damage. The only thing the bed was very comfortable. The shower when you turn it on spills onto the bathroom floor. There's no seals on the shower doors to keep the water in the shower. Shower heads are clogged so only a couple of the holes would project water very strongly. Ask for a better room. When the property manager brought me to see it, it looked the same. No better. When I asked for an upgrade they showed me the upgrade room and it was leaking water onto the bed when they showed me. So definitely do not get the upgraded rooms because maintenance needs to be done

Hotel Boutique Kinta Kan - Adults Only] [Hotel Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Refund Request for Unsatisfactory Stay Dear [Hotel Manager/Hotel Management Team], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent stay at Hotel Boutique Kinta Kan in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. While there were aspects of my stay that I thoroughly enjoyed, unfortunately, there were significant issues that greatly impacted my overall experience. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge that the room I stayed in and the amenities provided were as described and listed on the website. I appreciated the comfortable accommodations, access to the pool, and especially the beach amenities such as tables, chairs, and umbrellas. The hotel's location proved to be convenient, allowing easy access to the beach, local restaurants, and entertainment along La Quinta Avenida. Additionally, the proximity to the ferry for Cozumel and the ADO bus station facilitated our travels to Cancun and to and from the airport. The beach bar with lounge chairs, swings, and beds added a fun and enjoyable element to our beach experience. However, the most significant issue I encountered during my stay was the malfunctioning TV in my room. Despite promptly notifying the staff upon check-in, the issue persisted throughout my four-day stay. Despite assurances from the staff that it would be promptly fixed, the problem was never addressed. Additionally, several

The hotel and outside areas are in horrible condition.. pictures on the website are at least 15 years old.the room was in need of repairs due to deferred maintenance. False advertising to say the least.There was no restaurant -the room was across the street all the pictures are lies. Now the room was BAD Missing tiles in the shower, toilet paper holder was torn off the wall, the “rain shower head” was broke so the water poured from the broken plastic like a 1” garden hose, the mirror was broken and hanging loose off the wall. There was visible black mold on the walls and ceiling even with a dehumidifier running the beds were WET with moisture and smelled of mold and mildew. Like a gross basement. I have asthma so I immediately complained to management that it was a major health hazard for me to stay in that room. He agreed and said the room should be repaired before renting it out again. He asked the owner if we could be moved due to my health. Owner said NO he doesn’t care about me, my health or Expedia!! To move across the hall same room and issues for $600 more. Which I refused to do. We stayed out of the room except to sleep and I still ended up with an upper respiratory infection which ruined my vacation requiring medication and staying out of the sun!! The staff cared and was excellent.

I chose this property because of the location. Right on the beach. My room had great views. Reason for booking. The reviews were very conflicting and I understand why. Parts of the place are run down and despretly need attention. My room was overlooking the beach but there was so much wrong with it. The safe was broken and didn't lock. The sliding patio door didn't lock. The sheets didn't appear crisp white and had permanent stains on them. The window was very dirty. I was concerned because the safe and door clearly were tampered with. I travel alone and didn't feel safe. I was placed in another room once I asked. I appreciated this aspect. Thank you. The pool water looked like it needed some care. The staff were just doing their thing. Front dest staff was great. Beach aera. Noone ever came to take my order. I always had to go ask, but they were friendly about it. I understand that not all things can be updated all the time. I understand that this is on the lower spectrum but location is the attraction. What i don't understand is those simple things that can be done with regular maintenance. Remove the broken safe out of the room. Fix the locks, don't use stained sheets. Wash the windows, at least inside. Fix the awful broken curtains. That would make a difference. These are simple little things that are ignored but make such a difference. They don't take much effort. If you can overlook these things, stay here for the location.

I didn't like the fact that a couple people had put the Pool chairs farther back by my door so it's hard for me to walk past them to get to my pool room. But the staff came along to next day and moved the chair. So it wouldn't be that way for a long time. I was gonna let that. Let me have a bad experience because I'm on vacation. I really like the hotel and I like the people. You couldn't ask for anything else. It was close to the beach. The pool was right at my front door I will be back.

This place sucks you in with nice pictures and reviews, yet when you book the "standard room" it turns out to be across the street in another hotel. When we got there we were immediately told our room was nice but we should consider upgrading to the hotel I thought we had booked for a mere doubling of the price. We declined and the room we got was under 100 sq ft with no space except for the bed. No room or space for luggage, no furniture and totally depressing. Of course no cancellation either. As the door also didn't lock, we got the adjacent room which was a bit bigger but also no chair, table , furniture or normal amenities. Also, our back window looked out on a concrete wall 2 ft away, the front to the common area and room access. Unfortunately, it didn't lock. The room door had cheap loose push button lock, no deadbolts or security feature, and the place felt insecure. Also, virtually no water flow in taps, horrible pillows, worn out room and beach towels and nasty perfumed toilet paper. On a brighter note, the staff did a good job cleaning the room, the air condition was new, quiet and worked well, the beach was great as were the recliners include in the cost. For what we paid there are many better options in town so I wont ever be back to this place.

Nice place, good location
Overall we had a pleasant stay.. The pros- lovely small hotel with a charming pool and wonderful beach lounge chairs. Excellent location..Just steps away from the ADO bus terminal and 5th Ave. Walking distance to the ferry. The beach is one of the best in Playa Del Carmen with soft powder sand and crystal clear ocean. The staff was friendly and kind. Loved that it was adults only. Cons-This hotel owns a few rooms across the street which are not ocean front nor poolside. They resemble a very rustic hostel rather than a boutique hotel. Our room was very basic and had a straw roof. The noise level at night was unbelievable. Do not get conned into accepting these rooms. The next day we requested to be moved into the main hotel location and it was a 100% improvement. None of the rooms have a fridge, kettle, or hairdryer. It’s a real inconvenience if you stay for a long time.

I like that they change the linens & towels everyday. We left 2 pairs of shoes in the room when we checked out,they secured it & returned to us, very honest people. Location is very convenient for our group & our intention for this trip which is to explore around town by biking & walking. It is also a beachfront property which is amazing! The issue with the property were very small washroom/shower, poor water pressure, small breakfast servings.

The pictures online and seeing the hotel in person is totally cat fish! They don’t have a big selection on alcohol. The location is okay and literally walking distance to the beach. On our last day we couldn’t even get inside our room. The doors are so old that the door knob got jabbed and couldn’t get it to open. We waited 45 mins outside our room. Manager was not helpful at all. The only option was the receptionist gave us a screw driver to remove the window screen and go through the window. Well my boyfriend has to go through the window to get in our room. Once he was in he couldn’t even open the door from the inside. After dealing with it, it finally opened. We slept in our room with no secure locks! I definitely don’t recommend this hotel at all if you’re looking for a nice clean relaxation.
