This hotel was unfortunately a disappointment
Pros:

Close to the Cozumel ferry terminal
The helpful maintanence staff.

Cons:

Strong smell chemical smell in the room.
No staff in reception. There was only a telephone number for emergencies.
When I arrived from a long journey they offered me an apartament because the AC in my room did not work and should be fixed during the evening. The problem was that there was no water in the apartment!
I left this hotel one day in advance.

Pros:

For me the best thing was the restaurant ChanPan, the breakfast is very good with a low price, also the location is good because it’s a block away from the 5th avenue.

It's a very satisfactory place, particularly if you are on a limited budget.
Pros:

In earlier years the breakfast was free and in the main hotel building, and this time it was next door and a modest fee was charged. It is quiet in itself, but it is next door to the local small plane airport so during the day (not night) you can hear some planes. but not bad. It's walking distance to the beach and near the main tourist stores area, but not so close that the noise is a problem. This long message covers both my pro and con thoughts about Real del Mayab.

Pros:

The good:

- great location, right next to the Quinta Avenida (main pedestrian street)
- room and beds were basic but nice enough
- air conditioning, wi-fi, cleaning service
- inexpensive

The not-so-good:

- The front desk is not 24-hour, contrary to what is claimed on Expedia. Office hours are from 7 AM to 9 PM. That is according to the sign on the door. But even that is not respected, because when I arrived to check in at 7 PM, no one was there. The door gives a phone number for outside those hours, but when I called it and asked about the hotel, the person who answered didn't seem to know what I was referring to.

- Insects (cockroaches) occasionally make their way into the rooms.

- The building has an open ceiling, so it can be noisy. Expect to hear loud planes flying overhead (there is a small airport nearby), as well as what sounded like a rooster, crowing every morning.

Relaxing stay @Playa Del Carmen
Pros:

Everyone was so caring and friendly. They allowed us to check in at 1 am because our flight was delayed. They also have a small bakery/brunch space next door, where the prices are so reasonable and the food delicious- we ate there every day. The rooms are comfortable, clean and it’s quiet not like the rest of PDC. It’s also very central, 1 mean from taxi station, 5 min from ADO, 3 min from Playacar ect.

Cons:

Just the wifi was very poor upstairs, I could not work and had to hotspot and use roaming but besides this, everything was really great.

Quiet hotel just steps from all the action
Pros:

Great value small hotel steps from the main shopping center/pedestrian street/beach yet very peaceful and quiet at night. Appreciate the working a/c, clean facilities, free drinking water and friendly staff. They were able to accommodate our request for a parking spot. Also had a nice breakfast at the little restaurant next door.

Cons:

The pillows were relatively flat and hard

Perfect location and great value
Pros:

Conveniently located about a 5 minute walk from the ADO bus station. Clean, comfortable, secure rooms. Friendly service. I liked that there was a safe in the room to keep valuables. It's in a quiet area , but close enough to easily get to bars and restaurants. The restaurant right next door serves a very good breakfast for a great price.
