I stayed at Magic Blue this past March with my boyfriend and had mixed thoughts about our stay. It's a very peaceful spot during the day and I loved the pool area. The rooms were nice; the bed comftorable and a nice vanity area. The bathroom was small and the shower leaked a little onto the bathroom floor. I didn't... more

To anyone thinking about the Magic Blue for their Playa del Carmen vaca, go for it if... 1. You are not too worried about luxury/ don't mind walking a block to the beach. (It's a cool walk, lots of things to see.) 2. You want to be close to all of the amazing night life. (Really Close like outside the... more

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Magic Blue in early June. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again any time. The pool is absolutely beautiful as well as the wonderfully landscaped grounds. Earlier review states the pool closed at 7PM. It was open until 9PM while we were there. Still would have liked... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a 6 day stay with Magic Blue hotel and it was AMAZING!! Positives- The room was very clean and contemporary in design.

I had never been to Mexico and after a very stressful year with the death of my daughter, my son took me to Playa del Carmen. We arrived at night and could barely see to walk around. I have RA and have some difficulty in walking especially steps with very little lighting.. Well, the manager took us up to the... more

We loved the Magic Blue. As others have mentioned, the rooms are a bit dark but we overcame this by going to Wal-Mart and buying flourescent bulbs. You might want to pack a couple and be ready. Otherwise, the AC is cool, the rooms are very clean, and the bed is comfortable. Note: The rooms have only one chair, but... more

My wife and I stayed at the Magic Blue for 9 days in Feb. The Magic Blue is a beautiful hotel located very centrally to the 5th street mall (where all the shops and restaurants are located), so it was a very convenient location for us to walk out and explore the beautiful playa scenery. As other people have mentioned... more
