The building was not well maintained when I stayed there. It was cheap, but for only a few dollars more you can get a much better hotel in Playa.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself was ok but my room was below average. There was a broken window with plastic used to cover it partially such that you could hear it rustling in the breeze. I had no water for part of the time and when I did there was no hot or warm water. The sheets were ok. I know you get what you pay for but was expecting at least some basic necessities (like water). There's WiFi but would go in and out and not always reliable. The staff was nice when I interacted with them. They probably have better rooms but I was led to believe I had booked a single deluxe. I'm simply stating my experience. It was a little disappointing.The area is easily accessible.

De regular a malo

La recepcionista la peor de playa del carmen no sabe ni usar el.sistema para checar tu reservacion ademas, la ubicación es buena pero esta frente a los restaurantes hay ruido todo el dia de la musica hasta las 2 am asi q si vas con niños o quieres descansar imposible, los motores de los aires acondicionado dan hacia el patio lo cual se concentra el calor y no hay corriente de aire por lo.cual las habitaciones estan con aire caliente, baño bien lo q si no hay un solo jabon asi q lleva el tuyo y shampoo igual, la habitación limpia, por el ruido de todo el dia no volvere.
