Obviously I DO NOT recommend this place…
There were cockroaches in the room and the bathroom... I mentioned it to Sandra, the manager, and she did nothing about it. She ignored me. I sent her the text and the photos. She got angry... and I just stayed quiet... SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT TREATING THE GUEST WELL.

Balam Playa
The room had very dim light and some of the hallways and stairs were unlit. The pooll was unlit. I told the clerk about the light and he said they were aware. The door to bathroom was off one of the hinges. Toilet barely flushed. I had to use a bucket. I would not go there again

The date of check in we arrived late the area was secluded and the building next to this hotel had a notice of legal closure due to human trafficking. My first priority was my family safety which both Expedia and the hotel disregarded. The hotel was dirty, the ac was not working most days and there was no hot water. The experience was horrible

The hotel is not like in the pictures, the swimming pool area is in bad conditions. They don't mention what type of breakfast they offer and it is just one coffee, one orange juice and a piece of bread

Llegamos y había un anuncio de clausurado, pero aún así estaba en servicio, el hotel es limpio, muy bueno si solo quieres ir a dormir como nosotros, la TV con cable no funciona pero, el internet si está cerca del portal maya y la quinta avenida, además había unos tacos bien buenos en la plaza de en frente Cuando llegamos había como 4 personas y cero nos atendieron bien, ya cuando hicimos check in hubo otra persona que si fue súper amable

This hotel is appaling, filthy, noisy, stained sheets and no covering at the bathroom window. Uninhabitable. Travelocity should not have this hotel on their site, nothing was as advertised and we had to move hotels, which cost a lot of money, but hey, I guess TrVelocity got their commission, so stuff their customers. Not once have Travelocity got back to us about this hotel, so my advice is STAY AWAY

This hotel is closed down by authorities
This hotel had banners and stickers stating that it's "clausurado", this means that the authorities found reasons to shut it down. They are still conducting business in an illegal manner. They check you in through a little window and make you go to another building where the room was smelly and filled with dead bugs. Didn't stay there and money wasn't refunded.

Noisy room, was beside the terrasse. The breakfast was verry minimal, The person responsible didn't even want to give an extra slice of bread. The staff at the reception do not speak a word of English. There was no safe in the room, and the sheets appeared to be soiled.

Misrepresented description and picture. There is no beach associated with property. Ground floor rooms are so dark, sunlight never come. In Breakfast give one slice of bread and 1 coffee. If you ask more they refuse with big disrespect. All fake.

We did not spend much time in Playa, it was just a quick stay. The location is good but housekeeping could work a little on dusting the bathroom door & sweeping floors. There was a little sand in places. Also, the shampoo didn't lather, maybe it was eco friendly. Generally it was satisfactory for the price.
