Great hotel
Very helpful for the check-in process as we arrived earlier they agreed to keep our luggages
Our room was great
Good location
The only this is the beach club link to the hotel requested a minium consumable if you want to use their beds even you are a guest at the hotel. And the sound is very very loud which makes it hard to rest

Room was always clean, the staff is amazing, great food and beverages right by the beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, only thing is no elevator, walking 3 flights of stairs when you’ve had a bit to drink isn’t fun, but it’s one of our best experiences, 100% recommended

The hotel and staff were wonderful! Needs some updates but overall clean. On the main strip next to shopping and walkable to everything. The rooftop access to bar and pool of the Carmen hotel had amazing views of the ocean and more relaxing if you didn’t want to be on the sandy beach.
The only downside was there is no onsite parking and we had to drag luggage down main streets and park blocks away. Expect it to be busy, noise and regular activities along a main strip of a city.

Nice room in great location with friendly staff. Unfortunately the restaurant/party place is not owned by the hotel so they have no control over noise levels or time of events. Very loud thumping music until midnight one night. The kind of music that you can feel thumping in your mattress and pillow. If you value quiet, this is not the place for you. But then neither is Playa del Carmen.

You don't come here for the pool when the beach is literally 30 seconds outside your door. Breakfast at the bar was nice and convenient. Trouble getting a lounge chair if you don't go out early, but there's other spots down the way if you ask them. I enjoyed that they didn't start music until later in the morning and that it was stopped at a decent hour of the night.

Played very loud thumping music all day, & even into the night! We like to go to be early so that we can get up early and enjoy the sunrise. Not with loud thumping music until 12:15 a.m.
Also, we patronized the restaurant a few times, but once we had our own sandwich to eat. The staff we had generously tipped previously, then threatened to call the police on us.
We do not recommend Luciana, & we will never, ever stay at Luciana again.

Front desk staff is excellent, the hotel on the other is not. Door had no lock on it and was direct to the outside. Kids everywhere, setup was terrible. Needless to say we stayed at the sister property The Carmen, which was wonderful.

Everything you could want in a Mexican beach resor
Everything was working as it should, the a/c was cold the shower was hot, the room was clean and well appointed and the location was fabulous. The Beach and restaurant staff was friendly and accommodating. The Restaurant had great food at reasonable prices. One of the nicest beaches around. I will definitely go back.
