I did enjoy my staying in Playalingua, the accomodation is basic but the place is clean and the staff is very friendly and accomodating! it is true that it can be quite noisy at night due to the bar next to the hotel but I was so tired that I felt asleep without any problems every evening!

It's really a shame that I can't recommend this as a place to stay. It operates both as a hotel and as a residence for students at the Playalingua language school. There are many positives, including a delicious breakfast, great and friendly staff, location close to beach and La Quinta, even a nice little pool. There is really only one... More

I really enjoyed my time at Playalingua. Sergio was a great teacher, and really took time to help me with my weaknesses. I agree with some reviews that sometimes lessons had conversation rather than grammar, however that's what I needed. I've been studying Spanish in London for a year at night school and the main thing I needed was confidence... More

I'm sincerely amazed to read some negative comments on Playalingua, both as a school and as a hotel. I've been there for four months, with the original plan to spend only few weeks, and i regret that at some point had to come back to real life and get back to Europe. The school is simply great. All the teachers... More

The beds are short and built into the structure of the building. If you’re taller than 6’0”, you won’t fit. Trust me. I’m 5’10” and it was a bit tight. Each week you’ll have a different instructor. They post the schedule on Monday AM and despite what seems organized, there’s all sorts of last minute changes. I found this incredibly... More

Please do not sign up for classes at Playa Lingua. If you're looking for cheap accommodation in Playa Del Carmen, there are far better options to be found for better prices. The rooms are dirty, unsafe, and if you have a room without bathroom, you'll find that the communal bathrooms are disgusting. During my stay, items were stolen from at... More

I thought that people should know about this inexpensive option in Playa del Carmen right off of 5th ave. At Playalingua language school, the dorm rooms are very cheap and can be as cheap as $25 a night. They're pleasant and have maid service every day as well as a guard monitoring the entrance. You have an option of also... More
