Independent hotels in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo

"Pros: Close to el fogon and don sirloin for eating options. Walkable to centro (eg 20 mins to Benito and 5th) Beautiful room, I looked out towards the coast and had a tree view and morning sun. great big bed, nice firm mattress. Was close to my chosen dive shop. Cons: Room not soundproofed - can hear outside, upstairs, next door and everything in the hallway Hallway is open to outdoors, traps heat and gets hotter than outside. Requested maintenance as (weird problem) the shower ONLY had HOT...

"Great hotel!!! Noisy from the clubs nearby at night but the property grounds and rooms are great!! Great staff at the Yum Yum Fusion restaurant! Isacc was a great waiter. Bartender at the hotel was awesome too. Will definitely visit again. "

"I love Valentin and had no issues previously but this year I found a few things I did not like. The hotel needs more restaurants. There were many nights where the wait for some of the restaurants were 1.5 to 2 hours long. With no dinner buffet option, we had no other choice but to wait. Since our dinner ended up late most nights, we did not make it to any of the shows. The other issue I had was that people would leave their belongings on the beach/pool beds or chairs and not occupy them. There...

"Wonderful stay at the Reef Coco Beach. All staff members we encountered were friendly and always willing to help.

We had no issues getting...

"Staff, location, restaurant and food are great. The only thing is that the music may keep you up a bit in late night but who cares about sleeping while on holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and music wasn’t an issue as I didn’t need to get up early. Highly recommend. "

"Hotel was excellent, clean, big enough for our family, my kids had their own room. Full kitchen we were able to cook and have our breakfast in the room, and they have a very nice restaurant, where you can seat by the water"

"This was good place and I would stay again. Very easy to get to 5th and easy to check in. A safe location. The only thing is that laundry is listed as an amenity but they don’t have any laundry on site. Thankfully there is a place around the corner, Lavandería 24 horas, the address is; Calle 8 norte Mza 051 Num, Manzana y 35 Lote 001, entre avenida 30, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico She had our laundry done the next morning for a good price and helped us out because we were planning to do...
