Me and my daughter had a lovely stay here, the ground floor room looked out over the hotel pool which we had pretty much to ourselves every morning!! Breakfast was in a great spot overlooking the beach and the day beds and loungers in the beach were ideally situated. The staff took care of us really well, you can’t beat this hotel for location to the beach and just off 5th Avenue, no taxis required our entire stay!!
This is a great property, the room we stay in was very small with no mini fridge or dressers. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay. The lady at the front desk was awesome, and Angel in the beach club area was awesome and a lot of fun!

Misleading pictures, the hotel is still under construction.
There was no water supply
And breakfast is same daily no different and sometimes they run out of the fruits and not able to substitute with other things for kids
No drinking water and constant sounds of broken door alarm
Requested for some refund as we had 8 people stay

Great location, close to everything. Breakfast was just okay. We only got water in our room one day they told us they ran out, they also ran out of hand towels. The view from our room was gorgeous, being on a public beach it was a bit noisy but we enjoyed it
Room was very small but fine for one night. Bathroom is insanely small!!! Affordable for being on the beach. Breakfast was nicely included. Staff was friendly and helpful.
the beach was great with many chairs and beds. They put the cushions on late 11am. Most of the time the music was very loud and techno. YUCK. Pool was great but food was just ok.

The location was second to none. Right on the beach and a perfect location for walking the main street of Playa del Carmen to restaurants, shops and bars. We also walked to World Gym for a session twice from our room.
The bathroom was a bit stinky but I think most of Mexico's plumbing smells like that. It wasn't too bad after flushing the pipes out for a minute.
I was pleasantly pleased with the condition of the property. There were workers constantly cleaning the rooms and the grounds and pool area. We had an ocean front room which has the most beautiful view possible. The breakfast was really good with the option of fried eggs, Mexican eggs, pancakes or French toast. You also get either a fresh fruit plate or orange juice (fresh squeezed and delicious!). We'd get both and share ;). All of the breakfast options were delicious! This is a public beach so there are a lot of locals that use the beach and it can get a little loud at night. I'm sure the rooms not on the ocean are quieter. We rented bikes for the week for $45 each which we used quite a bit to go to restaurants that were past what we were willing to walk to. There are dedicated bike paths which make it really nice. It's a great way to see more of PDC as well. I would most certainly book here if coming back!
Was pretty good and the costumer service was great and else people are so frenly

Beware beach access opens at 11 AM and closes at 6 PM. You eat breakfast behind a cage looking at the beach if you like to party and enjoy yourself this is not the place besides it’s outdated.
