The location is perfect! I was attending a conference at the USFQ GAIS campus, which was a mere one block from Casa Playa Mann. It made it easy to run back to the room between conference sessions. Besides being one block from USFQ GAIS, the hotel is also one block from the gorgeous Playa Mann. We could walk into town in 5-10 minutes. We stayed in room #4. The bed was very comfortable. It felt like a memory foam mattress. There were also memory foam pillows. Ductless AC in the room. A huge oceanfront balcony with the best view of the ocean, and the comings and goings on the road below. The balcony had two hammocks, a hammock chair, two rattan chairs, and a rattan couch. Hammock time was such a luxury!!! The breeze, the view . . . It was paradise. Step in shower, that was quite big, with an oversized showerhead. Beyond the prime location, the comforable room, and the balcony view . . . The proprieters and staff of Casa Playa Mann can not be beat! When you stay here, your money stays local! Jose speaks excellent English, and is super friendly, and willing to help with just about anything a traveller might need. Make sure to add breakfast to your stay. They're delicious, filling, and healthy. Each day, we had fresh fruit, eggs with veggies, bread, coffee, and fresh juice. You could get bacon, if you wanted it. Casa Playa Mann is a slice of heaven on this earth. In my opinion, you get great value, foe the price. I cant wait to come back. Gracias por todo, Jose!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I do not recommend this hostel. We asked for a different room right away because the only one small window it had was pointing into reception and breakfast area “garden view “and they said no. The morning after we arrived loud noises waked us up in the morning, right in front of our window we saw 30 people having some sort of conference, talking loud and applauding. The air conditioner was right above the bed blowing in your face, it was very old and loud as a helicopter and had a bright light. The shower drain was barely working. I had dirty water up to my ankles. You are not allowed to flush any toilet paper and are required to put used toilet paper in the garbage. There was mold in the closet and it smelled. The “safe” a $15 unit from Walmart. Small black bugs appeared all over my clothes. Our room smelled horrible. Can’t open windows because the screen had big holes in it and bugs would destroy us. We asked for no cleaning and Jose argued with me and said it is mandatory and they need to inspect the room every day for bugs! One day we asked to only change our towels, but when we came we noticed the room smelled like toxic bug spray. I got sick and nauseous right away. The conditions were totally unbearable and unsafe. We left 5 days early. The hotel refused to answer our request to refund us for the rest of the days we did not use. Expedia was unable to refund us the $600 . The laundry service I used there destroyed my $140 Tommy Bahama shirt. Two thumbs down!

Most amazing place to stay in San Cristobal

This family owned hotel was simply perfect in every way. They went above and beyond to make sure I had an enjoyable experience. The breakfast was delicious. When I had an issue with a tour to Kicker Rock that I previously booked, Jose was able to get me on another boat at the last minute, which I really appreciated because it was a phenomenal experience. The rooms are very clean and the bed was comfortable. I really enjoyed chilling in the hammock on my balcony at sunset.

Small, family-run, boutique style hotel - just 6 rooms! You are greeted personally and the staff goes out of their way to assist with any request you have. Rooms are spotless and the room decks are wonderful for sunset views from your hammock :) Walkable to town and right on Playa Mann, this was an excellent place to stay. I highly recommend!

There are not enough stars to properly rate Casa Playa Mann! The location is great, the grounds are wonderful, we loved the breakfasts, but the standouts are truly the staff. It's a family-owned business and I cannot say enough about them. They were so helpful with recommendations and arrangements. Every single person we spoke with was amazing; they truly went above and beyond. I would never consider staying anywhere else on the island!

Casa Playa Mann is the best family owned boutique hotel I have ever experienced and I have stayed at many around the world. The brother and sister who own and manage it treated me like family throughout my 4 night stay with them. Jose even went to a pharmacy for some medicine when I was feeling unwell. The casa is immaculately clean and the rooms very comfortable.

Wonderful place

We thoroughly enjoyed friendly and comfortable environment of the hotel which is cosily located in a quite place yet close to the lively promenade and minutes from the beach. The rooms were very clean, the breakfast lovely and there’s also a pretty courtyard with hammocks and loungers in the shade of the trees. We’ve never encountered more friendly and caring service. José and his wife and staff went above and beyond to help us with everything. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!
