Pros

Pet-friendly accommodation with no additional charges

Multiple room types available, from standard rooms to two-bedroom apartments

Year-round outdoor pool with sun terrace and loungers

Grocery delivery service available for extended stays

Cons

Second floor rooms accessible only by stairs

Located next to three nightclubs, which may affect light sleepers

“This is a simple, older hotel with a great location near Playa del Carmen's nightlife and a short walk to the beach; families might appreciate the suites with full kitchens. Expect some noise at night from the surrounding bars. I think it is a solid, affordable choice, especially given the proximity to Quinta Avenida.”
