The property is well situated within Playa Del Carmen. Being on the the beach was amazing, having breakfast or lunch seconds from your room was great. I would definitely stay again.

Great location
This is a boutique hotel with a Fantastic location!! On the Beach and a block away from 5th avenue. The have a restaurant on site that transitions into a beach bar (on the beach) called the Sand Bar (I think). The deck 5 Sky bar give a beautiful view on the ocean. The deck 5 sky bar is on the smaller side (but very nicely down) as it is a boutique hotel. We will stay there again. The beds are great for …..

Bathrooms @ the lobby were nasty , not toilet paper . Housekeeping forgot to give us toilet paper and the receptionist said she didn't have extra paper. Very loud bar next to the hotel with loud music until 2:00 am . Very pretty hotel , with comfortable bed and big rooms . Hotel close to the beach .

Check in was at 3pm so we arrived at 2:45 the front desk lady didn’t show up until 3:20pm and when she finally showed up ot seemed as though we were an inconvenience to her and she never greeted us, never made us feel welcomed that day or any of the days we stayed at your hotel. We found out about the restaurant and rooftop pool when we were walking on the beach and they invited us in, we told them we were already guests but didn’t know those were available to us. I probably wouldn’t recommend this hotel just because of your front desk rep. The cleaning ladies were much more friendlier than her!
