Hidden gem in PDC. Rooms were excellent with everything you needed for a beach stay. Recently updated, comfortable beds and lots of large fluffy pillows. Housekeeping staff did amazing job cleaning and providing extra clean towels. Hotel staff very attentive to needs. Very nice beach club, kept sargassum cleaned up every morning. WI-FI did drop out and was slow, that’s was only minor issue we experienced. Great location right on 5th Ave. so close to everything. We had a great stay!

Everything you could want in a Mexican beach resor

Everything was working as it should, the a/c was cold the shower was hot, the room was clean and well appointed and the location was fabulous. The Beach and restaurant staff was friendly and accommodating. The Restaurant had great food at reasonable prices. One of the nicest beaches around. I will definitely go back.

It’s a fantastic location in the middle of 5th Avenue but there is noise and music at night. The hotel is also tucked away around the side of The Carmen hotel, so it’s sort of amazed to get to your room. They also do not have an elevator. Fifth street is also closed at different times during the week, so a taxi cannot always get up close to the hotel…that means walking to try to find them elsewhere. Also beware of the sargassum (seaweed season). It has a cute little beach club right in front that faces Cozumel, which is nice. The only true disappointment we had was about a noise complaint for a neighboring visitor who was playing loud music and we tried to contact the front desk, but no one answered until the next morning, so no sleep at night. Bummer when you’re excited to get up and start fresh the next day! Overall, I would stay again but consider it a budget hotel (but on the water!).

Nice hotel steps from the water. Our room was nice and clean for the most part - make sure to ask for new coffee if you want some otherwise it’s hit or miss each day. But they gave us more when we asked at the front desk. The music at the nearby restaurant was quite loud until about 11pm and started up about 7:30am but it was still quieter than 5th. The front desk at the Carmen serves as the reception for Luciana hotel as well and although the Luciana front staff are not present as often, the folks at the Carmen were happy to help us out. Our room was steps from the water which was a real bonus. The location was great and I’d recommend this hotel.

The beach was wonderful and the staff at Playa Maya were so amazing and kind!! We really loved the people working at the hotel. Beachfront access is awesome. Also, food here is actually quite good for an included breakfast. The facilities like shower etc are not luxurious, so if that is what you’re looking for this isn’t for you, but it is clean and nice enough for the price! I would definitely recommend this hotel based on how well we were taken care of.

The location for this property is great. Friendly staff always willing to help. If you are looking for luxurious, this is not the place. Could use updating of the rooms and amenities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and most of the reviews are spot on as far as condition of the property. Breakfast was great every morning. Good beach service.

This was my 2nd trip here this year. The rooms are large and well equipped. The breakfast is fabulous. Everyone is so nice here. You couldn't be closer to the water unless you were in it. My brother in law and sister also join in on this trip and they also loved. Samanya the manager comes to the breakfast area every day and speaks to each table. That is wonderful customer service. There is nothing to change here.

No Wifi for 3 consecutive days in the rooms, wifi was available at main restaurant though. Location is great. Right on the beach. People talk about walking across beach to get to hotel, its 30 feet off the street via beach. Rooms are very basic, not dirty but no extras at all. No blanket on bed beyond sheets for example. Breakfast is great, good omelette and coffee, friendly staff. Office staff are so - so, not looking to help. Location is perfect, on the beach, close to everything and central.

Run-down and overpriced

Entrance is difficult to find so call upon arrival. Website listing is inaccurate; the room was very run-down, uncomfortable and with bare bones amenities. The main light was burned out, the closet had no hangers, the safe was broken and unusable, no fridge, a coffee maker without coffee or cups and the only toiletry provided was shampoo through a soap dispenser. The hot water ran out after one minute and the bed was old and uncomfortable, as were the pillows. That being said, the staff was amazing!! and it's a great location. The a/c worked well...

Double Charged Thievery

Horrible experience! I arrived about 9 PM, and the front desk is operated by two different hotels. The hotel I was staying at did not have a person at the front desk, and I ended up being double charged because the woman who checked me and did not know how the other system worked for the other hotel. It’s been two weeks that I’ve been trying to get this corrected on my AMEX, and the hotel refuses to cooperate. Hotels.com has not been of any help, and I’ve had to go to American Express to file the dispute. Such a waste, find a big hotel that can assist you instead of trying to save a few bucks.

The biggest problem I have is that you actually have to drag all of your luggage through the sandy beach to get to hotel. Also lots of mold under wall AC unit. Only way in and out of room is through sliding glass door with very questionable lock. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the room or sleeping at night. There are many choices on the beach here. I would recommend finding somewhere else.

I do not recommend this place

This place is really old and there’s sea sand everywhere, there’s not even a matt at the entrance of the room to keep it clean. Room furniture are ugly and the bathroom needs a completely remodeled. I dislike the place till the point I went to a different hotel without thinking i. The money I had already paid. Btw. The pictures on website has nothing to do with the reality.

your man at the desk would not let me in with my service dog. Your ad on hotels.com said that service dogs were ok. He was tude to me and unkind. he did not care that I had no other place to stay. I asked for a refund and he said no. so you will either refund my money now or I will file a claim with spread word on the internet of your very difficult hotel!!! Michelle
