We had a wonderful stay at Albatros Hotel. It was in a great location, with a beautiful beach. It was right off of 5th Ave, the main street in Playa del Carmen. 5th Ave has lots of great shops and places to eat. Very trendy and fun place to hang out. We would stay again and recommend it for others.... more

This place was recommended to me otherwise I probably wouldn't have considered it. It ended up being okay overall, although the first night was horrendous! I had read to request one of the second-floor thatched roofed-rooms, which upon arrival, did have a nice, tropical feel to it. In-room safe, overhead fan, but no fridge. Only a bit later did I... more

Group of 4 Two couples, barely 50. The Albatross came through with all we expected during our stay in 2005. We stayed 8 nights leaving March 2nd. My wife commented that the sheets on the bed were great, although I found the bed a wee bit hard as most in Mexico are. She also commented on how super clean the... more

We just returned yesterday, and miss it already. If you have never travelled internationally, and must have every comfort of home, then you probably won't like this place, or most others unless you pay $300. We did see some ants in the bathroom, but the maid meticuliously cleaned the room each day. The upstairs rooms have thatched roofs - there... more

We booked online @ hotels for 14 nights Feb 8th - Feb 22nd. If I could have gotten my money back (like $1,500.00) I would have gone someplace else. First we got there the manager was nice to us . even put us in an upgraded room. The A/C didnt work and the TV had like 5 stations on them... more

we stayed there for 3 nights, feb 16, and had a very good time. the location is great, on the beach, in the heart of town, and we really loved strolling around in the city. the front desk was very friendly and helpful, the room was always clean, and we loved the firm bed. the one reason i'm reluctant to... more

We stayed for 7 nights here. The air conditioner was broken, I complained to the front desk. At first they told me we did not pay for a.c.! Then the next day they said we were in the wrong room,a. c. was never repaired. If you wanted a hot water shower do it before 7 a.m. The water was shut... more

I spent a solid two weeks researching hotels and Yucatan Peninsula destinations before booking my vacation and am happy to report that the Albatros in Playa was an absolute joy. My boyfriend and I stayed at Albatros Jan. 23-28th and intend on going back as soon as we can find the time. The Albatros is located along the best stretch... more
