It was my first time in Mexico and the staff were awesome! Freddy was really awesome at checking me in the hotel. The cleaning crew did a great job at remaking the bed and fixing the room up when I left the hotel. If your coming by this part of Playa come stay here. It's a nice and comfy hotel right by the beach.

This place is amazing and gorgeous and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I loved staying here, it was quiet yet right near all the action. The only issue I had was that it advertised on Expedia that there was a gym nearby that we could use and while that is technically true, you have to pay full price to use that gym, it’s not in any way associated with this hotel or included in the price. I talked to the staff about it and they said it was an issue with Expedia. Still a five star experience. Note also: you can’t go in the water here, it’s rocky.

The property was great. My only fault was the locks for the doors, I always had trouble with them but it can just be a me issue. So don’t let that detour you. Overall, service was great, very helpful staff as well as friendly. It was close to everything. Less than 15 mins walk everywhere.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s within walking distance of both the beach and Calle 5ta, where all the action is in Playa del Carmen. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. This is more of a boutique-style hotel. While it is beachfront, there isn’t direct beach access for swimming. One thing I especially appreciated was the nighttime security, which made me feel safe and comfortable. We would definitely return and stay here again.
