We stay in Playa del Carmen often and have tried many hotels. Let's start with great location. Then spacious rooms with many amenities. Full kitchen, washer and dryer, bottled water, great beds and pillows. Ours had a Jacuzzi. Quiet, great beds and pillows. We have been there before and will book again

Our ocean front condo was amazing but unfortunately the sargassum ruined our stay. The staff were very friendly and tried to help by transferring us to a new room but it didn’t suit our needs. If you see sargassum at all on the live view camera, do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere! It is unfortunately beyond the control of the resort. If there was no sargassum this would be a great place to stay! Very centrally located and walkable!
