Very close to the beach , both ADO bus stations , close to Walmart and the 5th ave. Its a place to sleep , don't expect who nows what. The rooms on the pictures look much bigger then in the reality. Staff at the front desk speaks english. Street gets noisy with music at night but hey its a Mexico. Good ,safe location. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merwie Mar 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities For a budget hotel, I thought it was great. The safe was new and worked well, the shower was good, and the mini-fridge proved essential. It was an easy walk everywhere I needed to go. The best thing about it, though, was the included breakfast!! It's not at the hotel but at a restaurant just around the corner, and it was wonderful to start each day with a real Mexican breakfast - coffee and a rotating menu that was more than I expected. ##### Merwie Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Aubree Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities This property was decent across the board. I will say that it was clean, and did have great views from the rooftop. Their pictures and description are very misleading. The beach is multiple blocks away. Easily a 15 min walk at least, thru very crowded areas. For restaurants and clubs, your only a couple blocks away. I definitely recommend parking on the rooftop parking garage, around the corner. Much cheaper than parking on the street and your car will be safe. ##### Aubree Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mélissa Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was a nice hotel, could have used more hot water had to take cold showers half of the week. I also got a few drops of blood on a towel (pimple broke after showering and I didn’t noticed) and was charged 100 pesos for it. Also if you want a blanket you need to ask for one. We thought they only gave sheets and only found out the day before leaving we could ask for blankets, we did ask but seems the cleaning lady forget and therefore never got any. Staff and were friendly. The breakfast was included as indicated however it was about 2 blocks away in another building, please also know only coffee, tea, juice, toast and game are included anything else needs to be paid for. ##### Mélissa Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bruce Dec 23, 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities When I arrived at the front desk the guy was using the computer, but didnt have a second to look up and greet me. He continued doing his thing for a minute or two then finally acknowledged me. To me, the first impression is super important so if it were me behind the desk I would have stopped for a second to greet the guest and tell them that I would be right with them. I would have been more than satisfied with that. It's those little gestures that make the difference. The room was small, but clean and decent looking. The bed and pillows were rather firm for my liking, but ok. I ended buying a pillow at Mega store for $15 which helped. Hotel only provided light sheets and no heavier bed cover which I found inadequate. Shower was plenty strong must say, however, there was no water on 2 separate days. Room came with a small fridge, but it only worked while you were in the room because you have to insert your room key into an electronic reader each time you enter your room which activates power. So you can't store food in it during the day when you are gone because it will go bad. That didn't make much sense. Like clockwork, a rooster next door would "cockldoodldoo" early every morning endlessly. Not to mention 2 lil dogs would bark all day and night pretty well everyday. Also, there is hostel across the street that hosts late night parties every couple of days so I recommend earplugs if you want to actually sleep. Ok, I get it, it's a party town. Won't return. ##### Bruce Stayed 12 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bouchra Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff Patricia was wonderful she did make sure that my stay in wonderful Thank you Patricia ##### Bouchra Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUAN HERNANDEZ Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excelente ##### JUAN HERNANDEZ Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Patricia Sep 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Bad service bad breakfast bad swimming pool ##### Patricia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sandos Playacar All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Sandos-Playacar-All-Inclusive.h892167.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Hyatt-Zilara-Riviera-Maya-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h906203.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Maya Royale -
