A good choice for a stay in Playa del Carmen. Breakfast could be a bit better, but is ok. Great rooms, wonderful beds. Walking distance to the center, close to a disco (some noise). Please note that your room is as far as possible, or at ground level, in both cases, the noise is in the background, not disturbing. Super... more

My husband & I stayed at the Magic Blue over the President's Weekend holiday. I was very satisfied with the hotel overall. We asked for a quiet room via expedia and we got a lower level room. The room was very quiet, not at all noisy hotel like some other reviewers said. The Coco bango club across the street was... more

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful Hotel in Dec. 2008 and absolutely loved it. The entire staff is wonderful and were extremely friendly such as Hilcia at the front desk. Originally we planned on staying for only 2 days and planned to check in to an all inclusive. We checked in the large property and missed the Magic... more

First thing to note if booking this hotel. DO NOT BOOK THE TOP FLOOR ROOMS. These have high thatched ceilings and it is criminal people are booking these without any notice from the hotel that you may not get any sleep. As these ceilings are thatched you hear everything, the church bells all night, cards, trucks and the 2 opr... more

I stayed at Magic Blue in January with my husband for a friend's wedding. The wedding was taking place at an all inclusive that was beyond our budget so we chose a place that is a little bit more budget friendly. I'll start with the negatives and then end on a positive note. I have to agree with the other... more

Pluses include friendly, helpful staff. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately well-kept. Walking through the double doors off of 10th Ave. (a very busy street), we never failed to be bowled over by the sense of peace and serenity of the inner courtyard. Location is both a plus and a minus. Centrally located a block off of the Quinta pedestrian... more

Just returned from a 5 night stay at Magic Blue. This was our 4th stay in Playa in the last 3 years , previously at Acanto, Tortuga and Illusions. The hotel setting is very unique with a rooms set around facing a nice pool. Rooms were very well equipped (flat screen tv, fridge, large shower, sufficient wardrobe/draw space)..and no musty... more

I am an experienced traveller, 33 years old, 20+ times to Cancun, 3+ times to Playa. To say that the Hotel Blue Magic rooms in Playa are loud is an understatement. ALL of the upstairs rooms are so loud that you can't sleep, the downstairs rooms are slightly better but not much. I live in one of the top largest... more

Stayed at Magic Blue for two nights over the Christmas holidays 2008. It was okay but at $425 USD/night it was only average. Here are the pros and cons: Positive: Room is lovely and romantic with nice layout and design. The bed was also very comfortable. Outside the room was a nice little balcony with a nice couch to sit... more
