My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were basic and minimal, but had everything I needed like a functioning A/C and an electronic safe. Surprisingly quiet despite the lively clubs nearby. The decor in peaceful whites and turquoise really set a relaxing tone, perfect for a beach town getaway.

My stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The room was massive with a super comfy king bed, a huge well-pressured shower, and we even had a hammock in our room. While the room wasn't in the best condition at about 2 pm at the layout of our room, the fact that all rooms open out to this area was a lovely touch.

The location is the best! Right in the middle of all the action, just a couple of blocks from the beach and next door to many restaurants. It's an ideal spot for exploring Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.

The hotel is located right on 5th Avenue, perfect for being near all the action with restaurants, bars, and the beach close by. The rooms are basic and minimal but have all you need, including comfy beds and efficient air conditioning. However, some rooms lack proper windows, making them a bit cramped at times.

The hotel offers a minimalistic experience that may feel stark, with basic rooms and an unappealing breakfast served in dirty tin cups. On the upside, the rooms are functional with good air conditioning and an electronic safe. The location is not ideal, being close to multiple restaurants and nightclubs, but it's right on 5th Avenue for easy access to amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small and lacking a real window, were surprisingly well-appointed and one of the nicest I have encountered in boutique hotels worldwide. The location was vibrant but could get loud due to its lively surroundings. The dining options were varied but somewhat underwhelming. Overall, a comfortable stay with a unique charm, but with some minor drawbacks.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spartan and on the small side, without a proper window, making it a bit challenging to find space for luggage. Surprisingly, the room with a balcony was one of the nicest I've stayed in across boutique hotels worldwide.

Service

The service was very nice, helpful, and professional. However, the image of guests smoking near the main entrance detracted from the boutique hotel ambiance.

Location

The hotel's location is nicely done and centrally located in a vibrant area. However, it can get loud, especially on weekends, due to noise from the nearby busy street, impacting the overall experience.

Dining

The dining experience was varied with many options, but the setup seemed limited, especially the coffee and bread situation. The promise of an 8 am opening was sometimes not met, affecting the overall dining experience.

The facilities were fine, and the hotel had an authentic charm, especially with the silverware used in the dining areas.
