I've stayed here the last two years. Great place for a Mexico beach getaway. Rooms are nice. Food is good. Staff is friendly and helpful. You can't really go wrong with this pick if you are looking for something that's got a little bit of everything and excels in most. The playacar area is one of the nicest you can stay at in Playa del Carmen as well. Don't hesitate - the rating says it all.

The room, the beach area, the pool areas were well kept. We stayed in a remodeled room which was a plus from what I read. The workers were welcoming and always nice. They seemed to be happy to work there. The food was hit or miss. A little disappointed in the specialty restaurants as some items were not good or just ok.
