Pros:

The staff were exceptional. The location is 50 ft off 5th Avenue where all the shopping, souvenirs, clothes bars and restaurants are located. There's a 7-Eleven directly across from the hotel. And the restaurant below the hotel is excellent..and 1/2 block from the beach.

I liked that if you've been to the beach and your feet are sandy, they have a place at the entrance you can wash them off before you enter the hotel & your room.

Cons:

Room was smaller than expected. However, since I was alone had I asked for a full size bed, there would have been a lot more space than there was with a king size bed that I had requested.

My room had 3 bay windows, however they looked out into the hallway with people passing by so you had to keep the blinds closed at all times for any privacy.
They do have rooms with other views and they have a few with balconies I just was not able to get one when I reserved a room.

Pros:

Ubicacion

Cons:

La seguridad , no hay una puerta de seguridad . Solo esta el de recepción. Y algo que me paso fui amenazado por delincuentes.. y nunca puedo señalar al hotel o a sus trabajadores. Pero sabían en que habitación estaba y mi nombre y el hotel como se llamaba . Tuve q dejar mis cosas y salir y nunca mas volver . Espero que el responsable de la seguridad de sus huésped en ese hotel tome conciencia ps yo nunca mas volveré allí. Gracias

Lovely colonial style hotel on 5th Avenue
Pros:

We love this hotel. It’s centrally located on 5th avenue where the actions are, and it’s so close to ferry station. It’s very beautiful and rustic colonial style with a lovey balcony can over look partial of the sea, we love it. Very clean and the bed and strong AC made this hotel stands out. The restaurant below has great drinks and great food. We will stay here again.

Cons:

Because it’s a traditional 3-4 story building, there’s no elevators so older people have to watch the steps and stairs, especially in the night.

Amazing experience and totally worth staying
Pros:

Near to “La Quinta Avenida” like 3 minutes walking from the beach, a lot of places to eat around, 5 minutes from the ADO station (turística)

Cons:

Everything was perfect the only thing that I can advise is the noise to us it was not a problem but if you can’t sleep with noise this is not for you, but if you don’t care every night you can watch from the balcony some performance since there is a restaurant under. (Was so cool seen Mayas, local dance and musicians) WiFi is slow but your in vacation so disconnect but if you need it for work best hours is early in the morning !!
And you must try the local food from the restaurant underneath the staff is incredibly kind and the chefs food is to die for.

Friendly staff, and for the price a comfortable stay, room was clean and bed comfortable and AC good
Pros:

Comfortable bed, having both AC and ceiling fan was good as it is quite humid, the WiFi is good and the room and bathroom clean, and a very good central location for those who want to be right in the midst of it all.

Cons:

A fridge would have been handy to keep drinks cold, I hadn’t realized how lively the area was (not the hotels fault), curtains didn’t cover the whole of window.

a great option off 5th ave
Pros:

Very comfortable beds, clean and spacious rooms. Location is excellent for walking purposes but street noise can be a little loud. The noise was expected for the area. We had a very nice host who hooked us up with some spicy salsas.

We stayed in January 2025, total 12 nights. Overall impression is very good. We loved the place and felt to be like at h
Pros:

I would start with location which is fantastic. It is directly located on 5th avenue, just 2min from nice part of beach in Playa. This was for us important point due to gistic with kids. Just in front of hotel is 7-eleven opened 24h offering all basic things needed. Ferry marina is just 5min walking distance, which makes easier organisation to go to Cozumel island.
Hotel is typical mexican stile building, let us felt to live in mexican house, what we liked. Since we had double bedroom, room itself was really comfortable. Sink is placed in sleeping part of the room, and we found it sympathic. Toilet and shower are as well comfortable. Tiles on the floor are as well made in local stile. They are not slipery at all, and it made a nice difference to us.
Another important thing is safety. We have read different kind of reviews and we have had higher attention as we did not want to have any uncomfortable situation duriong our vacation. We felt in hotel very safe and comfortable, as the hotel stuff has shown us trustable attidude and we have built up good relationship.
Safety box is available in the room upon request.
We have got the towel cards and we have used hotel towels for time on beach. We have taken the towels every morning and have returned them in the evening.
Stuff speaks good english and helped us with any logistic issue we had.
Hotel does not have it’s own loundry, but there is good loundry service available just 3min walking distance from hotel. This helps to save on luggage quantity and weight.
We have used hotel’s offer for transportation from Cancun airport and back. It was 100$ for each direction for 7 persons transportation. Hotel made booking with local transportaion company and it worked all well as described.

Cons:

We have choosen economical room without balcony, and this was the only thing we have not tought about. Room was placed in building corner where windows were looking to the are in front of the room, and natural air circulation is not optimal, but with fan and air-condition installed in the room, this was compensated. Swimming suites and other clothes were possible to let be dried on open roof top balcony.

Perfect location on a budget.
Pros:

Excellent service althroughout. Definitely prime location for a budget. Perfect for solo travelers and couples. Restaurant on the ground floor also had the best chilaquiles I've had in a while.

Cons:

It didn't bother me, but some people may find that the noise from the street or ground level would be a disturbance.
