The property offers nicely renovated rooms and is conveniently located in a central area near Coco Bongo. There is also a good taco restaurant nearby called Don Sirloin. However, the staff at this location were unfriendly and unhelpful throughout our stay. We chose this hotel specifically for the loft-style rooms, but there are many better options in Playa del Carmen that provide a more welcoming experience for international guests. Additionally, the elevator felt unsafe, and each morning we were disturbed by loud housekeeping activity, including persistent banging on neighboring doors.

I was very disappointed with my stay. The room was extremely dirty upon check-in. There were no washcloths provided, which is basic housekeeping. The shower had visible mold, the curtains were dirty, and the air vents were dusty, which made the room feel neglected and unsanitary. Cleanliness is a minimum expectation when staying at a hotel, and unfortunately this property did not meet that standard. I did not feel comfortable during my stay and would not recommend this hotel to others.

Great staff. Armando went above and beyond checking us in. We arrived later than planned when our taxi to Playa was cancelled without our knowledge. He helped the checkin process to go smoothly. There is a great view from the rooftop restaurant and the serving staff were very kind. The hotel is super close to the alternate ADO bus station so it was very convenient. I would definitely stay there again

When we arrived, the room seemd to be nice. We left the luggage and went for a dinner. When returned to the room, the smell of dump was unbearable. We were forced to ask for another room. In the end we were transferred to another hotel. The receptionist was verry helpful and attentive.

The hotel and room were excellent for the cost. Location is awesome- shops, restaurants, beach are in walking distance. On the other hand, due to proximity to such area it gets very noisy at night. Other than that it was enjoyable stay.

Great location, comfy rooms, great view from rooftop. But that’s where it stops. The pool is super green and disgusting. It’s advertised that they only have people working the front desk from 8 to 5, but we only saw a person at the desk on the day we checked in. The entire rest of the time the front door was propped open with no one at the desk so anyone could just walk in. One of the cleaning staff checked us out the final day when we just started to leave since no one was working there all week.

Calixta is a nice boutique hotel. Quiet, great location. The room was nice. Easy check-in. It is about 15 minutes from the ADO bus station. It is 5 minutes to Quinta Avenida which is the main tourist attraction.

Location is perfect! If you’re planning to spend most of the day outside the hotel, it’s a really good place for the price. Close to where you’ll take off for excursions & to 5th Ave & the beach. A few things to note - the photos were taken when the hotel was first built/renovated. The pool area doesn’t look like that at all now. We actually didn’t use the pool once in our entire stay because it was really worn down. Also the breakfast is belowwwwww par. No need to sign up for it. We skipped it twice. Basically they give you coffee & fruits. Bread and orange juice (upon request). The buffet doesn’t include anything else. We also had a really unpleasant encounter on our first day at breakfast. The guy working at the restaurant asked what room we are & said it didn’t include breakfast. We know that’s not true & the reception confirmed we had breakfast included when we checked in. He insisted he wasn’t wrong & refused to call the reception to double check. He spoke in a loud voice and super rude manner, and he asked us to go resolve this with reception ourselves & ask them to send him a message. We went downstairs & had the reception message him & then he agreed to serve us breakfast. Honestly mistakes happen, but the way he refused to even consider he might be wrong, the way he spoke condescendingly assuming we hadn’t paid, and the way he asked us to resolve the communication problem between him and reception ourselves was unacceptable.

The staff at this property was exceptional and made us feel very welcome. The pool area was small and a bit run down, but comfortable loungers, and the pool was a good temperature. The breakfast was basic (coffee, toast, fruit, yogurt); however, you could order additional items for a charge. The huevos rancheros we orddered were very good. The location of the property one block from 5th Avenue is excellent. I think the hotel is a good value for the price.

Brilliant for the price

One of the nicest rooms I have stayed in. Peaceful, spacious, loads of storage, great shower and sink facilities, huge bed and lovely lighting. You have to ask to have your room cleaned otherwise you won’t get new towels etc… The rooftop pool is a gem, love the decor and relaxing music. The staff were amazingly helpful. A couple of times the link to the door opening app didn’t work but that was fixed in minutes each time. The continental breakfast is pretty basic but again, staff are great. The WiFi was reliable and fast enough. And finally, the location is perfect. Just away from fifth Avenue, near the ADO station and very close to everything you need in Playa. Thank you Calixta!
