Comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated and convenient location! However the lights on the balcony stay on all night (no off switch) and there is conflicting music between the cafe connected to the hotel and the restaurant next door but not too bad! We would stay here again and again!

The property has very nice accommodations and is right on the beach, but I was unaware that you couldn't flush tissue down the toilets. I found this to be very unsanitary and this ruined my vacation.

I really love this hotel, but over the years I can see it’s slowly declining. It’s a a few small things that will enhance its ratings. The room layout is very unique and different, but it’s giving update vibes. For the price, I’ll definitely be visiting again. I hope some adjustments are made. Most definitely recommend to others. My small peeves wouldn’t deter me from staying again in the future.

I didn’t like not being able to flush the toilet paper in the toilet after I wiped myself which caused the room to have a smell. I have never been in place that I couldn’t flush the toilet paper that’s very unsanitary.

Great location: a block off Quenta Avenida (lots of bar & restaurants - pretty touristy) & beachfront. Loved the mid-century modern vibe, room was clean & comfortable. Amazing ocean view from private deck. EDM music from both the rooftop bar & the restaurant/bar got old but not a deal breaker. Breakfast was included & delicious. Note: there is no beach for the property: you have to walk down or up the ocean front. A lot of the adjacent beachfront is owned by other hotels or condos but there are some beach clubs where you can rent lounges & get food/drinks. Enjoyed my stay & recommend if you're interested in Playa del Carmen stay outside the all-inclusives.

Disliked: Staff & service
Advertisement for bkfast was all misinformed by their displayed images. There's nothing like that at the restaurant and everything like pizza is tortilla flour very tasteless; with their bkfast you need to order through menu in which it's limited and some of the staffs are rude n friendly less. They wait till its ur check-in time before they ask u to fill forms instead of having it done prior to your time. The scene is beautiful because of the Caribbean sea view... Their water is full of chlorine it's too strong u can smell it which I reacted to. When u take a bath, the water goes to the toilet cause it's separated and we had to always clean. Since this is a tourist destination we expect their staffs to understand English and be able express themselves in English but it's a NO. I have to google translate before they get what I meant... A couple of days before our checkout we saw a roach, video it with still image went to the reception and made a report about it. No one from the management came to say a thing nor any apology note which is horibble n disrespectful like they don't care about u but only the money. This is our experience at Playa del Carmen Oceanfront
