Arriving at the check-in of this hotel I could feel a strong stench of sewage from the lobby inside. Much worse, there is no elevator, and therefore the lobby is very dirty. Thinking times before booking will make your vacation a nightmare.

I liked the localization, I didnt enjoy the beach club. I liked the pool, I didnt like the TV was blocked. I liked the food in another hotel, I dint like that it was mandatory to pay for it. I liked the room but the hotel needs general maintenance. Thank you.

The staff tried to be helpful after asking a few times to be moved. The smell in the first two rooms they put us in was so horrible I slept on the balcony the first night cause the smell was nauseating that was coming from the sewer pipe in the bathroom. Very noisy in the front. They put us in a room in the back and ithe smell wasn't as bad and it was quieter. Breakfast was good and served buffet style.

Great staff! Clean rooms but there was a lot of mold on the property, but not in the room. The sliding glass door to the balcony didn’t lock and it was a shared balcony! My friends room had no blanket.

Pros: generally nice, great location, friendly staff, rooftop is great Cons: they hit me with a mandatory fee in person for breakfast and beach club entry. They didn't have change. Low water pressure in the bathroom. No one came to clean my room while I was there.

Book it only if u don't have another option

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The first night, we had to change rooms because the AC was spitting a large amount of water and ice at a plug on the wall. We had a mini swimming pool when we entered to the room. The shower curtain in this room was the cheapest curtain you can imagine. The some of the hooks were missing, so it was very trashy and ghetto specially with the price we paid. Also this hotel had internet issues, so they didn't have internet for my 2 days. I was lucky to have data in my phone. The 2nd room we stayed, was better looking but still too much $ for what we got. There are better and prettier hotels in playa for the same or less money. We had another family (we were 2 adults with out moms) coming up to playa, so we left the hotel and we booked a different one bc I knew it wasn't the best and the non Internet was a big problem. The girls at the reception were nice and always trying to help. I never saw a room like the one they show at these pictures. It is like 2 diff hotels

You get what you pay for

You are what you are paying for, but when I stayed there like 3 years ago the service, the room and the cleanliness was way better. I stayed there before they had the pool. Location is great, but other than that its changed. The front desk agent was too casual and had some friends hanging out with her.
