Can't believe that there is such a cool and individual hotel on that coast. We so loved our stay and felt that we were part of the family. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and would stay there again. How about that bar??Think the margaritas on the rocks were the best I have ever had so of course... more

This was our second time staying at Hotel Basico and we were greeted as old friends. The staff's attention to detail and the impeccable standards of the hotel make this a destination we plan on returning to again and again. I can't say enough about this hotel, its location and amenities. It is the best home away from home in... more

My husband and I booked a trip to Playa for our first wedding anniversary and I'm so glad we stayed at Basico. The hotel staff was so friendly and attentive. Someone was constantly cleaning the hotel. Everything always looked nice. We were a little worried about the noise having read other reviews before we went down. We stayed in Gabriella... more

Lets start with the good stuff. Nice staff, excellent design, nice room, nice bar, excellent location, great comfortable bed and good around the clock DJs. Bad Stuff: Methane gases from the sewer were overpowering in our room. Since the 12 foot window in my room was broken and would not open, my room smelled liked [----]:) If the can get... more

First, I need to thank all of the other reviewers. Your tips and observations really helped to help us get an understanding of this hotel and other things about Playa. Our cabbie from the airport did not know where the hotel was. As he dropped us off at 5th and 10th, he told us to wander down 5th (the wrong... more

We just spent 4 nights at Basico, and it is far and away the coolest design hotel I've ever stayed in. The meticulousness that they executed their vision of basic Mexican simplicity is astounding. The space is full of amazing discoveries and photo ops (especially for fashion spreads!) The staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful, the food was good, the... more

My husband and I stayed at Basico after being at an all-inclusive for 3 days. We were thrilled when we arrived to see such unique decor and great service. The hotel room (we stayed in Lucia) itself is very basic...not very large or luxe at all, but very clean...we figured we were at the beach and wanted to spend time... more

Friendly, fun, accomodating staff welcomes you to a sexy, brilliantly-designed boutique hotel. This superhip locale is the place for your trendy oversized sunglasses and designer bikini, but it's not at all intimidating. This is the kind of hotel where anything goes, and you'd feel just as comfortable at breakfast enjoying your freshly-squeezed OJ in shorts and a t-shirt as you... more
