Worst stay ever. A/C was leaking water, a lot of water. They had to come clean the puddle it left every night till they put a bucket. I asked to get moved to a different room and they said were full... there was mold on the walls from the moisture. The rooms in the ad have outside windows but most rooms only have a window into the hallway which is a danger. The ad shows bicycles but they do not have bicycles... very noisy with all the construction around the area and whenever someone closes a door it make a loud noise that everyone can hear... anyone talking in the hallway is going to wake you up so its a disaster if kids are staying there
Our experience staying in this hotel was very complicated. We filtered for a hotel with parking available, but the property has very limited parking space, so we had to park one night on the street. The room was not well kept, with paint fading from the walls and several bathroom issues. The A/C went out on our room one night, which we reported the next morning, but when we got back to the room they had done nothing to fix the issue. The front desk staff did their best, but we ended up 2 out 3 nights without A/C at a beach hotel. Overall, you get what you pay for with this property.
Canadians stay away, you won't sleep due to 24/7 barking dogs and screaming children. Paper thin walls, windows and door. No shower curtain so bathroom soaked after a shower. Tv and safe did not work for entire two weeks. When I asked to switch rooms I was told I had to checkout at noon the next day and check back in at 3pm, so stupid. Breakfast, if they didn't run out, was white bread with one toaster for everybody, coffee with powdered creamer and warm juice. Whenever there was an issue the useless female at front desk just shrugged her shoulders. On Nov 30 at 2am, I e man beat another with a stick until he was down and out. Not a great area, very residential with not much around. Stay away, it is for Mexicans and international tourists.
Es un hotel cómodo y se paso, en los alrededores no hay muchas opciones para comer y se encuentra a 4.5 km (50 min) caminando de la 5ta avenida. La alberca es cómoda y con una vista agradable. Los cuartos podrían recibir algo de mantenimiento general, así como el aire acondicionado (lo tuve que apagar por alergia). la calidad de atención del persona muy buena. En general, un hotel que vale por lo que se paga.
Property is not near the beach or shopping. Staff was nice.

We didn't like the location of the hotel as there is really nothing around (no restaurants, no café or shopping) and we didn't feel quite safe in the neighborhood. At night it was quite noisy with a lot of dog barking so we and our toddler had poor sleep.
Unfortunately they had closed their restaurant without any notice which we were planning on using and the bar and events that they praise on their website don't exist at all.
The staff was friendly though!
Most terrible customer service we've ever experienced though was through expedia!
The room didn’t look like the pictures I saw in Expedia. The bathroom window was very dirty. Common areas didn’t look clean either. Even though in Expedia it was mentioned that it was located 5 minutes from Quinta Avenida, the front desk employee explained that we had to walk 45 minutes to get to the tourist area of Quinta Avenida. We didn’t feel safe in the hotel location, that is why we didn’t complain or ask to change rooms; I made a reservation in another hotel and left the same day. I wasn’t able to cancel the booking because I had already checked in; but I preferred to spend the following 6 nights in a clean, well lit hotel located in a safe area.
Awful experience, left after 1 night, no refunds..
Please stay away from this property.
Walls are paper thin, so as the doors and floors. Another guest was playing very loud music, I complained at 1130pm but nothing happened, they finally stopped at 330AM. The next morning I spoke to the manager and he said that they could not do anything, that even the police came but that their hands were tied... because that "it is how the hotel industry works and guests should just get over it". I left after the first night since he could not assure me that it would not happen again and he said that he would refund me the money. Well, he did not refund anything and after speaking to customer support, he claimed that my stay did not have any issues.
In total I spent 3.5 hours on the phone speaking to customer support from hotels.com so they could move me to another hotel during they night but they asked to endure the problems. The next day I spoke to them again and they cannot do anything either, because they hotel has to approve the refund. So beware, it is a scam. Unless you are there to party, do not book.
The only positive thing about the place was Florencia from the front desk, she was very polite and helpful with the check in and with suggestions about where to go near the property.
This hotel is located in the nothern part of the city.
Contrary to what some have said, this area is safe, even in the evening when it's dark. The LED street lights are so bright, it looks like day time. Police car roam streets on a regular basis. So yes, we did feel safe walking the streets at night. It's a 45 minute walk on fith avenue to "El Centro", but you will find plenty of businesses on the way within 10 to 15 minutes of walking. Two public beaches are within walking distance. On 30th Avenue, you will be able to dine for less than 100 $ (Pesos). This is where locals do their shopping. We enjoyed our 11 night stay at this hotel. Remember, it's a 3 star proprety, bring your own coffee machine. There is a fridge.
Staff is polite and accommodating, the hotel
Is comfy and artsy. Will come back again

The hotel staff was great. The rooms are comfortable. The noise from neighborhood dogs was almost unbearable. One night they fought and barked all night making sleeping impossible. The cafe never was open. The neighborhood has no restaurants. Shopping district is miles away. I would not stay there again.
We decided to stay here because the pictures and reviews were good but it was FAR from it. We got to the hotel and front desk was friendly. We payed $25 for remote controls for the room but that was given back at the end of your stay. We got to the room and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The room was dirty! They didn’t bother to clean the closet mirror which had lots of finger prints! The worst part was the restroom!! The restroom mirror had toothpaste splashed and water marks ALL over it! I wish I was exaggerating but I am not. The table in there is plastic, old and stained. The bed was soo soft too. It was so bad we left the next day and stayed at a different hotel. We didn’t care to loose the money we had payed for (1 week) we had to get out! Do not stay here! I don’t know how people stay there and I don’t know why the hotel staff thinks it is ok and in good condition for people to stay.
very friendly sttaff. everything you need. cheap and very nicely located. close to one of the best bea hes in Playa del Carmen
no breakfast. would be nice if they had coffee available in the morning.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Punta Esmeralda! The staff was friendly and helpful, it was IMMACULATELY clean, comfortable and a great spot!
Playa Punta Esmeralda was a 5 minute walk away and a beautiful beach! The little market across the street was great for snacks and drinks. 5th Ave was only a 50 peso taxi ride away. GREAT spot for the price! If you're looking for a wonderful 'boutique' hotel for your stay, this is the one!!

Interesting stay
I feel there are some mis-communications between this booking site and actual hotel. Example would be that Hotels.com said we would be booking Deluxe room with two Queen beds and hotel doesn’t even offer that option. Although the hotel was quick to accommodate us with two beds it made for an awkward exchange at check in and will rate higher due to that!
