Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The location and price was perfect for me. The room was large clean and private. I have not shared a bathroom since Europe but it was very clean with no problems. The owner was friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. The breakfast was the best I had all week in Mexico. If you do not mind not being on the beach this room is for you. Everything is in walking distance.

I have been asked to write about my stay at the Hotel QuintoSol in Playa Del Carmen, and I do so with pleasure. This is the second time I have stayed there, and I will do it again for a third time. This hotel is perfect for a person who doesn't want to be confined to a resort. It is perfectly located on 5th Avenue, the Main Street in Playa, with many fine restaurants close by, and literally five minutes walk from the beach. The hotel itself is scrupulously clean, the rooms are a good size, air-conditioned, and the management is friendly and helpful. The room tariff is very reasonable. I love the place, and I will be going back all being well very soon.

Very easy to get to ! Just take the bus from Cancun Airport (Lane No. 2) to Playa del Carmen. Reaching the bus station the hotel is in a walking distance even with baggage. (1/4 mile). Nice and helpful staff. Very clean and spacy rooms. But you shouldn´t stay in the hotel, you should enjoy the beach, the culture, the food and the people. Very safe place to stay. Police is visible everywhere ! The hotel is located between small shops and local restaurants, very conveniant to everything. Rental cars are about 200 yards away even a WalMart Super Store is in a 10 min walking distance. We will choose this hotel again !

Great location, awesome staff, beautifull mexican hotel and good price. We just loved it!:)

Booked this hotel based on previous reviews and we certainly weren't disappointed. I normally don't write reviews of the hotels we stay in (and we've travelled the world), but the staff here deserve it. The hotel is kept immaculate. The swimming pool in the courtyard area is a haven. We had a room overlooking the road, but we didn't have any issues with noise. The hotel location is brilliant. It's a few blocks up from 5th so you can get away from it all, but everything is within walking distance. We got an ADO bus from Cancun Airport and I would recommend this method of transfer as it is so easy and convenient. You will be spoilt for choice with the quality of restaurants in Playa Del Carmen, but it's not cheap. The staff at the hotel definitely helped make our stay in Mexico perfect. They organised a number of trips for us at very competitive prices, recommended restaurants etc, but more than anything they were just so friendly and we had a real laugh with them. This is an amazing quality hotel at a very affordable price and I would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you 'La Pasion' for our time in Mexico so wonderful.

It is a great hotel - very central location, walking distance to everything; clean and well-decorated room; friendly and helpful staff; good breakfast from the restaurant accross the street. If i HAVE TO complain something - there is no hair conditioner provided - no biggie, bring your own :) Would recommend to anyone.

Hotel well exceeded expectations. Rooms and grounds were kept very clean, and the staff service was exceptional. I left the staff a very high tip becasue of this. It can be difficult to communicate with the staff if you do not speak Spanish outside of the regular office business hours, but this is a very minor concern. Beds were comfrotable, sheets clean, A/C and ceiling fan made the room very comfortable to sleep in. The shower was very good with hot water and good water pressure, only downside is that the stand-up shower did tend to leak on the floor a bit, but again this was very minor. I would return and highly recommend.

Great overall. Loved the rooftop pool and the breakfast. Get the junior suite with the jacuzzi.

Stayed one night here recently. The room was excellent - clean and comfortable bed. Every room has two hammocks on it's outside porch which was a great touch. Breakfast and dinner are included at the restaurant which was a buffet. The food was ok - just fine for one night. The only bad thing and I've noticed this everywhere I've stayed along the beach in Playa del Carmen is the noise at night. It is definitely a hip party scene with deep base music bumping in the afternoon and at night. Las Palapas appears to be cultivating a relaxing scene but I don't think you can compete with the noise next door. Fine for one night but I wouldn't last more! Good thing we were off to Tulum instead - much quieter.
