Pros:

Very loud music was the main problem.There was a nightclub next door which played music until after 3am. It felt like a disco in the apartment.
They advertise access to a pool. There was none.
They also offered breakfast.
This was a 15 min walk away and included coffee and cold toast. Anything else you have to pay for.
The appt was dated. I dont know who would give this accommodation 10.

Pros:

The property was centrally located on 5th Av. and the person managing the property was very helpful. However, the noise level was unbearable! The property is adjacent to a night cloud and the noise level is so high that the windows vibrate. There is no insulation, so it is like you were in the nightclub. The noise goes until past 3am, so it is impossible to sleep even using ear plugs. The property is old and poorly clean. There was thick dust over the fridge and other furniture. The towels were extremely old and the bed sheets were stained. There was no toilet lid. The whole place needs some serious renovations. In its current state, it is unacceptable as a place to stay.

Pros:

vergüenza deben de tener de ofrecer algo en una página wet y no ser así, despues de cobrar y encontrarte una habitación marginal con cucarachas en la zona de cocina 2 discotecas justo a tu lado de una sola ventana lo único que te pueden decir es que pagues un hotel aparte en ese mismo mometos

Pros:

Le déjeuner inclus des toast et du café et se trouve à 15 minutes de marche de l’hôtel.
Il n’y a pas de piscine extérieure ni de place sur la plage.
Nous n’avions pas de four ni de cafetière. Très peu d’ustensiles et de vaisselles avec un seul chaudron.
Le bruit naturel du secteurs est acceptable, mais la boîte de nuit collée à la chambre est intolérable de minuit à 3AM.
Les lits sont des lits jumeaux et non des grands lits. (Aucune couverture n’est fournies contrairement aux photos)
Les matelas sont tâchés ont des ressorts brisés qui nous blesse ou occasionnent de gros trous dans les matelas.
Il n’y a pas de casier ou autre emplacement pour les bagages ou vos sac-à-dos, il y a seulement des chambres qui barrent à clé.
Aucun accueil, ni sécurité. Les locataires laissent la porte de l’hôtel débarrée et des gens sont même entré durant la nuit pour cognier à notre porte violemment et en criant.
La toilette et la douche étaient semi-utilisables et mal entretenus.
Le prix est beaucoup trop chers pour ce que l’hôtel vous offre. Je déconseille fortement aux familles, mais peu convenir aux fêtards.
Seul point positif: emplacement près de la station de bus Ado et de la plage.

Like sleeping in the bar
Pros:

The place is next to the bar that plays music until 2 am. The speaker is next to the room. We could feel the vibrations of the music. We have a child. It was impossible to sleep. At midnight we left and found a different place to stay. Not recommended unless you are out all night

Pros:

Entspricht nicht dem, was angeboten wurde.
Das Interkontinentale Frühstück besteht aus Kaffee, Toast, Butter und Marmelade.
Alles weitere muss teuer betahlt werden. Dafür musste man einen halben Kilometer in ein anderes Hotel laufen.
Der Wasserdruck ist so schwach, dass das Duschen zu einer Torture wurde.
Die Toiletenspühlung funtionierte nur, wenn direkt nach dem Spühlen an den Spühlkasten gehauen hat und ca 10 min wartete bis der Kasten wieder voll war.
Einen Tag lang hatten wir gar kein Wasser und unsere Nachrichten an die Unterkunft wurden einfach ignoriert.
Die Küchenutensilien bestehen aus 2 Teller, 2 verschiedene Gläser paar Messer, einen Topf und einem kaputten Messbecher.
Toilettenpapier war Mangelware und musste erbettelt werden.
Die > 500 Mbit Internet hatten vielleicht paar Kbit und war von vielen Ausfällen geprägt.
Mit Kabelanschluss im TV meinte man wohl das Stromkabel, was ihn nutzlos machte.
Es war zwar ein Smart TV, aber die Internetleitung reichte nicht für einen Stream aus.
Der Zustand würde ich als heruntergekommen beschreiben.

Scam - horrible
Pros:

WORST PLACE EVER

THE PLATFORM ALSO DID NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION EITHER

We arrived quite late from the cancun airport.

The place is NOTHING like what’s advertised. We had the large/lux room with 3 beds.

The place is not only rundown to the point that I would not call it habitable.

The mattresses were paper thin, no pillows, no blankets , wet towels which smaller like mould.

The fridge was absolutely disgusting

I complained to hotels.com and to the property manager. The manager said to just check out the next day and they’d refund us.

So we did. THEN they told hotels.com that they would not refund us.

I tried every avenue with hotels.com and provided copy of the WRITTEN chat with the property manager on WhatsApp and even then they would not step in and refund us.

We we were lied into returning the keys but also had to pay for the next 5 days.

Absolutely disgusted at the lack of protection hotels.com offered.

The place is absolutely gross.

I provided all the photos of the place and even had photos of my daughters sleeping on the floor with wet towels.

We arrived at 1 am so we had to suck it up for one night but this is a horrible place.

Stay or book at your own risk!

Pros:

It is a great place for a getaway or for locals. Not worth a whole week. You're in the 5ta ave so there is so much to do great location. The rooms are cute loved my little apartment. The staff in person are very helpful and kind. The check in/out system works like an airbnb. Most communication is done through whatsapp. The hotel is right next to a club so the music will not stop till exactly 3am it is super loud. It will make your room shake. Hotel does not include lunch I don’t know why it was offered in my vacation package so that was misleading. The included breakfast is only juice, coffee, and toast. You have to pay for extra for a cooked meal but the food is great. The pool and breakfast is in another hotel it is walking distance like 5 min. Its a nice stay if you would like to vacation on a budget. Thank you!
