Hotel needs improvements.
We stayed for over a week. First room given was horrible and too noisy. After changing it was better. Breakfast very simple and with no variety. Last 2 days the drain in the bathroom was very stinky. Poor maintenance as the shower leaked every time we used it. For sure not coming back.

This was our third time to playa this year. Me and my fiancé decided to try a new place and we definitely regretted. It could’ve been worst but honestly I would not stay again. We purchased breakfast and it was terrible, silverware was always dirty and honestly it was just a horrible set up. They’re better off just not offering it if they’re not going to put effort in the food and presentation. Pool hammock was cut off and the pool was just not very clean. They have these ghetto concrete plates around the pool and honestly that’s a liability. The noise was horrible. Water pressure didn’t exist, and water was so salty in the shower. Just a big disconnect with the pictures on the site and staff was not very friendly.

Ramses at the front desk was extra friendly, and very accommodating. Most of the staff was also nice. One security guard at the door was obnoxious and very unfriendly and unaccommodating.

Estancia familiar, la regadera es con cristales así que tomamos turnos para respetar privacidad, cuando llegamos preguntamos por toallas de alberca, nos indicaron que cuando hagamos uso, cuando subimos nos dijeron que en front desk las daban, así que bajamos y sólo tenían 2 disponibles. La tina de hidromasaje no estaba en funcionamiento.

The property wasn't as nice as in the pictures. My room smelled of mold really bad. There wasn't a single blanket in the suites. The air conditioner was leaking water all over. Couches in living area were pretty dirty and I didn't really want to use them. This place is also NOT "Adults Only" There were 3 brats running all over the pool my first day there and staff didn't do anything about them. By brats, i mean they were throwing stuff at each other constantly and even throwing rocks off the roof to the busy pedestrian street below. Hotel staff was a hassel at check-in and added bogus fees to my bill. No towels for pool provided either. Bar service at the pool was nearly non-existent. This was all pretty disappointing considering i had the larger suite. This place has gone downhill quite a bit over last few years. Time to find somewhere new to stay-there are tons of better options than being treated like this.

My only complaint would be that the sofa was very stained. Other than that, it was great location and I love how the AC remained on even when you’re not there so when you come in, it’s super cold which I love because we went during summer ridiculously hot.

It's a convenient location since is close to 5th Avenue. The staff was always nice. Parking is very small. The hotel needs more maintenance. Our room curtains were in bad shape. And if you light sleep, you may have more trouble to sleep since can hear the noise from the 5th Avenue.

The rooms we had was very large with a large living area and basic kitchen amenities. The bedroom was also large with a huge bathroom and plenty of storage space. The only shortfall was the rooftop pool and bar. The pool seemed neglected and was green on 2 days we were there. There were only 4 lounge chairs, 2 of which were not usable due to ripped bed and when we asked for an umbrella they finally found 1 that wasn't broken on the 3'rd try. We are hoping that the fact they were updating the bar roof that they realize things need to be addressed. We used to visit this rooftop pool when they had day passes several years ago and it was beautiful. I hope they bring it back to its glory days. We would return in the future as the staff was very nice and accomodating, the rooms were comfortable and the price point was very good. Great location!
