Good hotel if you are busy taking in the scenery, not lounging at the hotel 24/7. If you want a resort, pay for a resort. If you want a nice, small hotel at the quieter end of Avenida 5, then Quinto Sol is a good choice. Try for the rooms on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floor though... the ones... more

I usted to vacation in playa every year and know what to expect from these boutique hotels. this is not a resort like hotel, no great amenities, no elevator and no fancy extras. but is what Playa del Carmen is: relaxed, romantic, cool and no rush athmosphere. I rate it as as excellent because the staff. First I asked for... more

I've read the other reviews, and even checked them before booking, so I was well-informed when I arrived at Quinto Sol. To keep it simple, I will list positives, and then the not-so-positives. 1.

But I can see how some of the more finicky folks would complain about the toilet... more

this is a clean, nice hotel. However, if you are booking with expedia, breakfast is NOT included. The service is a little less than friendly also. more

Great hotel. Very unique layout. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a great location, right on 5th in the middle of everything and a block or two from the beach. The room was a little dark, but the beds were comfy and the bathroom layout was nice. The hotel has a hot tub on the... more
