Shouldn’t advertise beachfront when there isn’t a beach left.
Cons:

The beach no longer exists. Only a tide pool of sargasso.

Pros:

The room was spacious and spotless and the bed was really comfortable!

Cons:

The place had a horrible smell! So bad that I couldn't bear sitting out on the balcony for the whole trip. I wonder whether it was a seaweed problem or the certain time of year but other hotels didn't have this problem and there was no communication regarding it from the staff.

Bien por el trato y ubicación pero no me gustó mucho el general
Pros:

Ubicación y que era un apartamento. Vistas al mar que no pudimos disfrutar mucho. Buena atención del personal muy amable

Cons:

Había un olor horrible a podrido. Entiendo que no era propio del hotel pero olía así en todo el recinto y no podíamos ni salir al balcón a disfrutar de las vistas. No tenían restauranción.

A paradise in Playa del Carmen, transformed into a hotel.
Pros:

The hotel is absolutely beautiful, it’s a true paradise. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is delicious, and the housekeeping team take great care and pride in keeping the rooms spotless.

Cons:

The only “downside” is that the hotel doesn’t have a proper beach. There is a small sandy area close to the sea, but getting into the water can be quite difficult. It would be great if the hotel could build some sort of jetty or platform to make it easier and more comfortable for guests to access the sea.

Habitacion muy comoda
Pros:

La recamara es excelente, muy cómoda la cama, tiene sistema de extracción en el baño lo que evita malos olores, esta muy bien equipada la cocina, y en general bonita y super comoda la recamara, la ubicación es muy buena, a unos cuantos pasos de la quinta avenida, me guardaron el equipaje aunque como tal no es un servicio que ofrecen

Cons:

Si quieres reservar el hotel por la vista y la playa este no es tu hotel, las habitaciones dan mas bien a los cuartos de enfrente, la piscina es pequeña y el área para estar enfrente del mar también es pequeña, no habia gente y por eso no estuvo mal, pero yo creo que con un poco de ocupacion si debe ser un poco incomodo.

Pros:

Personale gentile e disponibile! L’hotel è piccolo ma piuttosto accogliente. Attaccato alla via principale dei locali e dei negozi; nonostante questo, si trova in una posizione tale che non si sentono rumori da fuori ed è perfetto.

Cons:

Nulla

A great stay
Pros:

Loved the hammock right outside the sliding door. The beds were comfortable. Walking distance to the main walking area with restaurants with a longer walk to the Cozumel ferry but very doable.

Poor maintenance, poor service, excellent raccoon management
Pros:

Hammock and nothing else

Cons:

The door didn’t lock, so naturally the solution was to move me to a worse room.

The new room came with filthy, stained curtains, a fridge that sounded like a tractor on a quiet harvest day, and half-drunk sodas left behind by previous guests. And because apparently that wasn’t enough, a family of raccoons regularly visited the balcony, meaning keeping the door open was not exactly an option.

As for communication, accountability, and responsiveness from reception — those seem to be available only in theory. Overall, an impressive combination of poor maintenance, questionable cleanliness, and complete indifference. A truly memorable stay, just not for the reasons you’d hope.

A pleasant oasis right on the beach and just blocks away from vibrant nightlife. A perfect combination of tranquility an
Pros:

The property is situated on the beach and the particular unit seemed far enough away from the nearby nightlife so that you could hear the waves and surf at night. There are neighboring restaurants and fishing boats where you can go out, catch a fish, and come back to have it prepared and eaten right on the beach. Fantastic.

Magnifique séjour de 5jrs à Playa Del Carmen
Pros:

TOUT ! l’hôtel est super bien situé, à quelques pas de l'avenue centrale de Playa Del Carmen. la chambre à 2 était parfaite, donnant sur la cour, au calme! ménage fait tous les jour, mise à dispo d'une fontaine d'eau de source était un vrai plus. et les serviettes de piscine/plage à volonté (on pouvait sortir avec de l’hôtel pour se rendre à la plage la plus proche - Mamita's Beach ~magnifique à 10min à pieds). La piscine de l'hotel très propre aussi. on a vraiment passé un super séjour. et grâce aux personnes de l’accueil, on a réservé via l’hôtel une excursion catamaran pour Isla Mojeres ! je recommande vraiment!

Cons:

je mets une note de 9 pour la plage de l’hôtel, c'est plus pour se relaxer sur le transat que pour se baigner. sinon, le reste était parfait
