We just returned from a week stay at the Kinbe. We stayed in the Rugiada King room on the top floor. Was the perfect size for the 2 of us. Bathroom was also a good size with a large shower. No complaints about the housekeeping, always cleaned well. No bugs or mosquitos. One night we had a little gecko sleepover... more

We have used this hotel regularly for one night stays, on the way south or as a last stop before returning home (Europe). The location is ideal, right round the corner from 5th Avenue with all its shops and restaurants, and it's generally quiet. The staff are friendly and courteous. The rooms in the older part, though, are acceptable though... more

Stayed at the Kinbe from April 17-21 2009. I chose the Garden room (Kinbe offers 4 types), which was a terrible mistake. I understand that this type of room was meant to mimic the rustic, natural feel of a jungle palapa, but our room had ants, flies, and mosquitos. The downstairs half of the Garden room (the living area) is... more

This is a hip little place that doesn't claim a lot of bells and whistles. It is clean, near the beach and all of the action. It is easy to find and feels safe. My only complaint is that they have 2 double beds in some of the rooms but only will book 3 people to a room. I don't... more

We stayed for three nights at the Kinbé hotel when we first arrived at Playa del Carmen. Being such a nice hotel at a perfect location (only 50 meters from the beach and a few steps from 5th ave), we decided to spend our last three nights in Mexico here.( After travelling to Tulum and Cozumel) The staff is very... more

The hotel had very friendly and helpful staff. They were accommodating despite our last minute reservations. We stayed in two different rooms, and both were very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The location was great; on a block halfway between the main shopping avenue and the beach. There were numerous great restaurants and bars located within 2 blocks of the... more

Kinbe hotel is a great spot for an easy going traveler looking for value, and location. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Only downside is that the rooms are very small. we stayed in the moody room with a double bed, and garden view balcony. the hotel is between quinta ave, and the beach, as well as one block... more

As a business traveler with a branded hotel preference, I was skeptical. Kinbe Hotel lived up to all of it's promises. Fantastic location, close to the beach, tons of restaurants, shopping and the ferry. Although the rooms are small, they are clean and charming. The courtyard is a tropical gem, and the staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgable...no language barrier... more
