The hotel is nice but they need to do more with the facilities. There are no kini fridges in the rooms so is an inconvenient for guest that need to keep medications cold. Granted they allow to store them in the restaurant's fridge but then you are at the mercy of the hours of operations. The restaurant's is nice and right on the beach.

The hotel is centrally located, just steps away from the beach, shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Everything is within walking distance, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. The staff was helpful and courteous, and the room was clean. While the room lacked a coffee maker and a fridge, it’s a minor detail considering the affordable price. The breakfast is simple but just what you need to start the day, coffee was great!

The property was simple, but you walkout directly onto the beach. Right off of 5th Av so you can access everything quickly. It’s relatively quiet, so you go to the party and also leave the party. Beach Staff are absolutely amazing.

People were nice but one of the girls working in the beach club wanted an extra tip, which I think was rude. The breakfast offered only eggs and extra sugary French bread. The only thing good was fruiti. The hotel is old and it doesn't look clean, everything is stained and old. It looks like they don't do anything to remodel or make it somewhat better. But the good thing is that we had our room cleaned every day and given clean towels and had our sheets changed one time. This is unrelated to a hotel, but there was sea weed all over the beach and it produced a horrible stench.

We paid for a room with more space, two beds and ocean view. The ocean view was completely blocked the glass was extra dirty. They moved us to a smaller room, one bed and no balcony. If we canceled we wouldnt get the full refund due to their policies. It was a complete rip off. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. We had to park blocks away because they didnt have any parking nearby. I think the only partially good thing was the Mexican scrambled eggs.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom/3 bath apartment.The hosts are super friendly and helpful however the room could use some TLC. The faucets have calcium buildup(not a super big deal though). The apartment is clean overall but there is mold on the bottom part of the wall in the living room area. It stormed one day and we found the cause of it. The sliding door area that leads outside leaks when it rains, therefore we had water everywhere in the living room. We did inform the front desk and they came and cleaned it up quickly. The beach club is included. We did not have the breakfast, but we did swim and have a few drinks. If you dont tip very well, they will question the amount you give them which was a little rude. The person did apologize the next day and we did enjoy the rest of the time we spent down there even though it's a little pricy for drinks. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. Location is perfect, hotel staff is amazing, the beach club started sour but ended up being relaxing.

After reading some of the reviews we were considering cancelling but I’m sure glad we didn’t! Check in was easy, the room was simple but had everything we needed and most importantly had a terrific view and great air conditioning! We were 2nd floor beach front and wow what a way to start the day!!! The hotel was a little noisy at night (but not the hotel itself, it was from a nearby beach volleyball tournament and locals playing boom boxes on the beach haha). I’d say it was reliably quiet from 11:00pm-7:00am which was pretty much our normal sleep schedule so no issue for us. If I had my young kid and baby on the trip it would have been a problem however we didn’t so was a great hotel! Great location, walkable everywhere and safe. Free breakfast was a hot egg or French toast breakfast with coffee and was right on the beach patio. Not a five star hotel but for the price i would definitely recommend!!

I never write reviews but this time I have to.Terrible hotel, air conditioning didn’t work and we complained twice and finally changed our room. It rained at night and the roof was leaking and in the morning the floor was full of water and all of our clothes in the closet were soaking wet. Don’t stay there.

Unfortunately we had to leave the hotel 3 days early. The girl who was working the front desk said her bag was stolen just after we checked in. The website made the hotel look a lot nicer than it was. Our room had no hangers, glasses or a phone. I wouldn’t recommend it. And of course there are no refunds …

Hotel is very well situated one block from ADO Bus Station Only issue was with the beach club makesh the hotel does business with them beach loungers weren’t set early in case people want to enjoy beach early they were set up between 10-11 am We had an issue we took an empty lounge chair and we were told that it was reserved we waited no one never came to claim it they just wanted to try and sell the lounge chair for the day. Politely they told us to f-off. We made a complaint to hotel and had a conversation with them few hours later they informed us that there was chairs available. Longer story short Hotel stood up for us and makesh beach club were arrogant. Special thanks to front desk and Julian maintenance guy always helpful

This hotel looks like a secluded beach bungalow but it’s right in the middle of all the business of play del Carmen. Parking is non existent unless you find a parking lot somewhere around the area. The room is small and the bed takes up the majority of the space. There is AC. The water from the faucet tastes salty like ocean water. We found a hair on the bed when we checked in. The lighting in the hotel room felt like a hospital room. For the price of the room, which was over $400, it was definitely no worth it. They close off access to the beach at 6pm so you have to go outside the hotel to get on the beach after that time. Staff was nice but don’t I recommend this hotel.

Upon taking the 1-hour ADO bus from Cancun International Airport to Playa del Carmen, I arrived at Areia within 2 minutes of walking distance from the bus drop-off location. Besides beaching directly beachfront, this hotel is immediately surrounded by multiple avenues of shops, cafes, and eateries. I am so thankful that Areia gives access to the beach club accessible within a few feet by the pool and daily breakfast before 11am. My room had everything I needed as a solo traveler: nice bed with great bedding, large TV with pre-built Netflix and other streaming services, small safe, simple bathroom with towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/liquid soap, and a desk/chair. The pool is cute and small with beach beds ready to enjoy. The only thing that I'd say is that you're obviously in the middle of the tourist avenues so outdoor music may reverb during the weekends but not disturbingly so at all. Housekeeping service was done routinely. Upon checkin, you'd get a wristband - which gives you access to the beach club open morning till early evening. Just ask for a beach towel at the front desk. I am thankful for the staff that keeps this little gem clean and safe! I'll make sure to tell my friends about this hotel.
