If you’re a budget traveler looking for cheap accommodations in the heart of Playa del Carmen, this is a good place to stay:
Pros: location, price, spacious rooms, nice courtyard, friendly staff
Cons: shower has no water pressure and doesn’t get hot (this is the biggest complaint I have with the room, the water is literally a trickle at times and will even completely stop after a few min), refrigerator doesn’t get cold (shout out to the employee Angel who let me use a cooler to ice down my cerveza), they charge extra 98 pesos at check in, and I’m not sure why (gringo tax maybe?), it can get loud as you are close to 5th street, music will play all night (not a negative on the hotel, just fyi if that’s something that bothers you), no beach towels in room (they rent them for 100 pesos).
For the price (roughly $35/night) it’s well worth it.
