Mattresses were poor. Rooms need more TLC. A little upgrade would go a long way for this very well located hotel.

It was a great stay on budget. Right beside the clubs, restaurants, and market. 3 mins walking distnace to the beach. The front desk staff were super nice. The check in was very quick and so was the check out. Also, the housekeeping found our beach clothes in the bathroom and handed over wihin 2 mins while we were checking out. I'd love to stay again next time.

It’s great if your main goal is to party till 2 am everyday. Would not recommend if you have kids as it is extremely loud they’re 3 clubs just one building next to the hotel. Important to know.

The staff at the front desk was very accommodating very nice. Change the beds daily. The staff very accommodating to your needs. This is a hotel for couples only who love night life not for family with children music at a near bar lounge is blasting too loud not able to get a good night sleep. The beach is about two or three blocks for the hotel. A Great place to have breakfast n great sandwiches is at Les Amis inexpensive go see Tony the owner. I did enjoy my stay n staff very helpful to accommodate me for another 2 days. Best wishes Vida

4/10 Fair

I stayed one night from 11-12 March. There is constant loud noise late at night from a few open patio dance clubs around the corner that continue until around 2AM. I sleep with earplugs as I normally live near a runway, but the noise cut through the earplugs along with white noise from the air conditioner. There was a loud, rapid knocking noise that jolted me awake twice between 10PM and 1AM.  I'm not certain if it was a water pump, air compressor, or something else mechanical that was left on overnight. The room was clean, the A/C unit worked well and the wifi worked semi-frequently. If you're in Playa to party, this might be an economical option if you're out late.  I was here for one night prior to flying and I had an rotten sleep.

This is a great hotel if you like to party for free! You will have access to loud music until 3 or 4 AM from the bars around the corner. I got the room on the roof, the stairs were in very bad condition. I wonder why the hotel advertised that they have a swimming pool when they really have a sink...

Good location Bad everything else
Noisy, falling apart, shower sprayed entire bathroom, sink smelled like sewerage, mattresses hard, we were told not to leave stains on towels or sheets (who tells guests that?) or we will get a fine. Overall very disappointing.

2/10 Poor

Overpriced
I paid over $80 US a night to stay here. Unfortunately I was booked for 2 weeks. (The pictures are very misleading.) The first week was without hot water and noise so loud from the 5 open air dance clubs on the corner that the walls shook--every night until 2AM. The 2nd week was to a room with a bed only slightly softer than the floor, and internet that went off every 3-4 minutes. Don't stay here!

The property did not quite meet the expectations for the price we paid. I must mention the property is behind 3 major nightclubs that blast super loud music until 3am; however, that is not within the control of the hotel, and they provide you with complimentary earplugs. The location was really nice (outside the loud music). Items within the control of management include providing you with better quality beds and pillows. The pillow was super hard, I didn't know such pillows even existed. We were 3 people, and they provided us with 1 small shampoo bottle 1 soap bar, and 2 towels; we had to ask for additional items. No conditioner or lotion was available. The second day after cleaning our room, there was no soap left for us at all and no toilet paper. After we asked for it, the person at reception was a bit rude like it's our fault the cleaners didn't leave toilet paper! You must know there rooms are small and dated, and the pool doesn't look like it's swimmable, kind of murky. The air conditioning worked well. Overall, I would not stay here again. Pretty disappointed :(

Loud Music unable to sleep
this hotel is steps away from 3 major nightclub that have loud music until 2am, making it impossible to sleep. the tv was broken, towels look like rags to clean the floor. I do have to say that the staff did their best to acomodate but the problem is the Owner is a cheap…. that doesn’t want to invest a dime on the properry
