8/10 Good

Property was good. It had a pool. A little far away from the main attractions but overall an amazing room for the budget. One ac unit for a room this large can be insufficant. The rooms are large almost like an apartment. Overall an amazing experience.
Stanley, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The place was clean, and everything worked well. The swimming pool was not big but clean so we were able to cool off after our activities. The breakfast options were very limited but not bad. However although we had a kitchen there were no kitchen utensils. Nonetheless we really liked our stay there.
Ruth, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Reception lady was the best! Room was switched on request and they were very accommodating to my needs.
Ophir Olivia, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked that this hotel looked very unique and it fit the vibe of the surrounding area. It was antique and very much jungle vibes. What I didn’t like was that our toilet was barely flushing and the sink water kept pooling up. however, we told the staff and they resolved the issue. Overall everybody was nice and we were treated nicely.
Sheila, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly staff, room was always clean. Breakfast was always delicious, pool was in shaded area of property so we chose to use the roof top pool across the street which was perfect. Also the beach was a block away as well as famous 5th Ave. Very ideal location with inexpensive accommodations. Simple and favorable property conditions with 24 hour staff. If your on a budget this place was great!
tammy, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything is pretty good to stay for a while. Advantages is a kitchen in the property and walking distance to different beaches. At night is pretty loud until 12-12.30 am.

8/10 Good

The property is nice and close to everything but not quiet at night. Breakfast in the morn is great! Staff is really nice and helpful. There’s an odd odor as well, maybe the plants? Otherwise cute place.

Paola, 8-night trip

4/10 Poor

Great location and excellent customer service

No hot water in room 201. Mirrors slightly dirty. Sheets/pillow cases smelled of body odor. No WiFi, no tv that worked. Good location, excellent customer service, made every effort to appease problems, was provided with free breakfast at nearby restaurant which was very yummy. Nice atmosphere, gardens. Rooms were larger than expected and nice. Bed and pillows were comfy for enjoyable sleep.

4/10 Poor

There is no wifi, fridge didn’t work, they advertised as in hotel massage which is false, nobody speaks English in the hotel. Breakfast is Terrible!!!
Sankalpa, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

There are something in the property that should remodelate, like the doors but in general everthing is great
Antonio Isai, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Wifi does not work in the bedrooms. They only cleaned twice in a 7 day stay although we had asked them on two different days to clean and said they would but didn’t. We booked an extra night with front desk at a certain price only to back to pay and it was a much higher then told. We didn’t extend our stay.

8/10 Good

A nice choice, near the 5th Avenue (a big plus) and the Mamitas Beach. You have plenty of options for food and beverages. The property is interesting very holistic. The room is enormous! The thing i didn't like is that my TV didn't have cable or... service... I needed to ask ay reception about a Rokú to watch... nothing, because it was blocked by a PIN that i didn't had... The wi-fi was good, but you need to connect to other network, not the one that the info tells you. A big plus: the breakfast, plenty of options, but the only day i was there, i ask for the chef's recommendation, and it was a fail... they didn't gave me anything else.
Edmundo, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Ran down property. Not recommendable. Good location but overall a bad stay.
Ivan Blumenfeld, 6-night trip

Water was too cold
Monica, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved staying here. Originally booked for 1 night and ended up booking 3 more nights. Very chill atmosphere, it is noisy at night from the street and the music, so if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs. Breakfast was wonderful. Only issues were a little more language barrier than I’d have thought, no lights for each bunk, so hard to do anything if anyone is sleeping and 1 toilet for 10 people. But overall AMAZING stsy!

Manuel Luciano Saure, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

My toilet broke, the handle on my bedroom door fell off and I got trapped in my room. The sheets were stained and room wasn't very clean. There was no hot water. The staff was great though and the location was right in the middle of town.
Anne, 9-night trip

In serious need of an update
7-night trip

4/10 Poor

There is no signboard with the hotel name. The music from the nearby bar continues until around midnight and is very noisy. There are many dark and suspicious shops compared to the main street.Residents' personal belongings were scattered throughout the dormitory's kitchen and shared shower room. I stayed there just to sleep, but I don't think I can survive there.
Hiroshi, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The doorknob to my room was broken. Towels are very old, torn and dirty looking. Shower head squirts water from 9 tiny holes. Bathroom smells like urine. Staircase to room is dirty with stains.
Reyna, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Finding the place with no sign outside made it impossible to find eithout troubling other merchants. My res was lost, the clerk insisted i had responsibility because thhe printout page didnt mention their name (as if the streetfront did) took over 40 minutes to check in.rooms were better waitstaff great
William, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel is located in a nice area of Playa del Carmen with lots of places to have fun, but the hostel for men only have one shower and one toilet for more than 8 guys to use it, and some of the employees come to take showers there too. theres a bar downstairs that plays music live till 1 or 2am that makes very hard to sleep, some of the front desk people are rude, specifically a lady who always has a smelling poop face, the hand soap container to wash your hands after using the toilet is usually empty and one day of the week I spent there, nobody came to clean around, overflowing kitchen and bathrooms waste baskets, also bad doors and broken electrical outlets which is dangerous., but the place has lots a potential with some improvements!!
