Live bands every night so lots of Rhythm and music until the early morning.
It was pretty fun. I stayed here for a month. There was always something to do around the corner. I enjoyed how convenient it was. And you were right around on fifth so you can hear and see all the activities and not be too far from them. And they had a great restaurant called La Tierra underneath.
Me robaron . Es la peor experiencia de mi vida en un hotel . Música a todo volumen desde las 7 de la mañana asta las 3 de la madrugada . Solo me quede la primera noche y me robaron el resto del dinero
When you read the reviews and they say this property is noisy all night long-this is not an exaggeration! In fact, it’s an understatement. This hotel is nestled between and above two open air restaurant/bars (TieRra & Agave) and they both have live bands every night (930pm-3am)!!! So, you’re not just hearing one really loud band, you’re hearing 2, at the same time; every night!!! Also, the only “pool” is an unheated hot tub. Luckily, when we were there it was not too busy, there are only 2 sun loungers. The balcony was very small, just enough room for 2 chairs. There are no blankets or bedspreads, just a top and bottom sheet. No extra towels for beach (2 blocks away) or “pool”. Otherwise, great location; no parking.
The location is good, but Wifi doesn't work well, none of the windows are sound proof, impossible to sleep at night, there is a restaurant at the first floor with live music and few meters away there is a night club, so if you want a chill place to sleep, I don't recommend it.
Giving this high marks not because it's an amazing luxury resort, but for the price and what it is - excellent place to stay in Play del Carmen.
Notes - it's right in the heart of the main strip so it is loud with club/bar noise at night, no two ways about it. But for the price and location you can't beat it. central and walkable to everything, easy walk to beach and all that 5th AVE has to offer. It's clean and felt safe, but is no frills. Looking for a low-cost trip to Play Del Carmen then this is it. Don't expect luxury, but for the price - it was great.

The hotel was delightful note that its stairs only. Also it’s located right in the action for entertainment and shopping so noice level in evenings are high. But l was on rooftop very cozy. Air conditioner was perfect. Plug outlets were what l needed for Canada. I highly recommend if you don’t mind the noise.
This definitely is not the Hotel's fault.
But fair warning before booking:
There is a bar downstairs that may or may not have a live band. So unless you are a part animal and stay up until they leave at 1 a.m. I would not recommend.
My room 201 was right above a restaurant bar the boutique in general is a above 2 restaurants, both playing karaoke until 3am. So if you plan on napping or even sleeping I don’t suggest this place. The female staff in the restaurant below were rude. The bed and pillows were hard and they only change white linen including towels every 4th day. But if you like to party allll night this may be the place for you.
Nice place to stay centrally. The staff was superb and helpful in every situation. If guests are sent to a third-party site for breakfast, they should be informed that it is a fixed breakfast only not ala carte. So I had to pay.
Finally, for yourselves Not the hotel, I requested a stay in Cozumel and was given this hotel which was 2 taxis and a ferry ride across the water each way to get to my cousin in Cozumel itself. This was the most disappointing experience and in 2 days, no rest for me during my visit.
If I ask for Cozumel please don't show me Playa del Carmen!
The noise from the bar was excessively loud with two bands performing nightly at the same time. The removal of the pool was quite disappointing as well from my stay before. This place kinda lost its luster for me I’m sorry to say
There was no pool like their picture. It was noisy from 8pm until 4am. Towel service was only every 3 days. Nobody could speak English. Staff never seemed happy.
Left after 5 nights, couldn't sleep. Booked 5 blocks away and it made a huge difference
