My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms had both air conditioning and a fan, which was convenient, but they tended to get too warm quickly after leaving and required time to cool down again. The service was satisfactory, with staff willing to assist, although there were minor language barriers. The location was excellent, close to key attractions in Playa del Carmen. Dining options were limited but decent. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

Although the hotel needs some updating, it is in a convenient location close to the downtown area and the bus terminal. The rooms are on the older side and quite dark, providing a cozy atmosphere for those who enjoy sleeping in. The service was a mix of being hospitable and responsive, with some pleasant interactions. The dining options were simple but tasty, especially the natural juice served nearby.

The rooms just need some updating and are on the older side. They are quite dark, which can be good for sleeping but gives a dungeon-like feel.

I stayed at this hotel, which is super centrally located but can get a little noisy due to its convenient spot. The rooms, though quite dark, are excellent for those who need quality sleep. The service is a mix of friendly and unfriendly behavior. The dining options are limited but benefit from being close to a restaurant. Overall, the experience was good but had some drawbacks.
Rooms

The rooms were really dark, giving a dungeon-like feel, but perfect for those who want to sleep more. They have air conditioning and a fan, providing a choice for guests. However, it was a bit noisy.
Service

The service was a bit of a mixed bag. Some were always available with a smile and very professional, while others were really unfriendly and unhelpful.
Location
8.0
The location is excellent, being super central and close to the bus terminal with a nice plaza across the street. However, the central location also means it can get loud.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was a bit basic with limited options. The saving grace was that it is located in a restaurant in front of the hotel.
Facilities
The hotel offers a good range of facilities for a comfortable stay.
