We had a great week staying here. The room was simple but totally functional for our basic needs of a clean, quiet and safe place. It's off the main strip which was to our liking. The main strip in Playa is really touristic and noisy, so staying a couple blocks away meant we still had easy access to the beach... More

We stayed 4 nights at playa del karma and it was great to be away from the noises of the main street, but close enough to walk to it if we wanted. Restaurants and shops a few streets away. Our room was clean and beautifully decorated when we checked in, no tv, but you dont need it with so much... More

We booked this hotel for 2 nights based on excellent reviews on TripAdvisor but were quite disappointed. The hotel was pretty cheap and seemed in a fairly good location (on 10th Avenue, only 2 roads back from the beach) so I guess we shouldn't have been surprised that the room facilities were pretty basic. No TV, no iron, no kettle,... More

Dear Sirs, we are very sorry to hear you weren't totally satisfied, the cheap price you paid for was for a economy-basic room, only room without breakfast, no tv, no iron, etc, in case you'll desire an upper level room the price will be a little more. About the pool, water is totally clored and a chemical treatment avoid any... More

It's taken me a while to write this review, only because it ruins my mood to remember our time at this hotel. I will try to keep it as short as possible... let's just say, we learned some spanish while staying at Playa del Karma. Beechus (bugs), in our kama (bed), and Manchas (stains) on our Sabanas (sheets)! We stayed... More

Dear Sirs, I'm very sorry to read this story ,I'm agree this room is not the biggest ocean view room that a couple of Honeymoners deserve , it is a basic-room with a cheap price. Every effort for this staying was made, an extra upper level room, a special atencion at the bill, and we tried to offer our best... More

This will be a tough review to write because I liked the staff so much at Playa Del Karma that I want to give them a great review; however, the room accommodations were less than I expected and I feel obligated to call out my concerns. Let me begin with the positives: * The staff at Playa Del Karma are... More

Our trip to Playa del Carmen was a very "spur of the moment" thing. We didn't want to stay in Cancun with all the resorts and golfers, we wanted a more unique and local experience. This hotel provided that perfect charm and a live easy atmosphere. The moment we walked in the lobby we knew it was perfect. The one... More

This hotel is in a wonderful location on a quiet street. It's an easy 2 block walk to Quinta Avenida. The infamous Coco Bongo is only block away, and I could hear it's thumping music late at night if I listened hard. The room was cute and comfortable. The bed was very hard (not a problem). Wifi worked in our... More

Lets get the basics out of the way. My beautifully decorated air conditioned room was spotlessly clean. My king size bed was well appointed and wonderfully comfortable. Attractive bathroom. Reading lights on each side of the bed (thank you! -- you know, that's one of my major complaints about budget hotels in Mexico) Plenty of warm water for a shower.... More
