A very pretty hotel, 1 street away from the main touristy 5th avenue. Great swimming pool, nice personnel, a lot of green and subtle lighting in the evening. The breakfast is very simple though and the same each day, pillows are to be changed urgently. But definitely recommend to stay in Aventura Mexicana if you like peace, a bit of comfort while being close to the main tourist spots.
Fantastic hotel. Service was excellent and Yaun was very helpful, friendly, and professional. The room was very clean and spacious and the bathroom was huge. The room had a huge bathtub with jets like a jacuzzi. The location was terrific, walking distance from numerous restaurants and stores. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop pool, lounge, and bar. The hotel also has a sushi bar/ restaurant on the first floor. The style/atmosphere of the hotel combines a retro and classic style with a hipster vibe. The low lighting of the hotel gives it a very romantic and intimate feel. The hotel is 4 stories high. There is street parking but you have to pay. This is also one of the few hotels in the town that is family/kid-friendly, as many of the hotels are adults only. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay. I highly recommend.
Amazing experience, lovely host, wonderful property.
I stayed at Bloom for a week and truly couldn’t have been better taken care of. The rooms are well appointed and have excellent amenities, with tasteful touches. I particularly liked that the water is drinkable thanks to a whole-hotel filtering system.
You'll receive a truly warm welcome at Bloom, I felt cared for and that nothing was too much trouble at any point during my stay. The in-room guidebook shows this level of care - going far beyond recommendations on where to visit nearby, and showing
I stayed during COVID, and they were very good about masks and sanitation, which I appreciated greatly.
The breakfast is beyond amazing - I can't say enough good things about it. I've gone as far as to purchase some of the chefs tools simply to try and recreate some of what was made! Having had time to dine at Pujol and Quintonil recently, I can say the breakfasts exceeded that experience in many ways. Thoughtfully prepared, tastefully presented, exquisitely fresh, and delicious!
I would happily stay here any time I am in town, and would (and have!) recommended it to friends and family planning to come.
A great hotel with good vibes and a lovely staff. I stayed here for a month. It's just a walking distance to all the cafes, bars and restaurants, but still a bit away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Good rates especially for long term renters. I highlight recommend this hotel to open-minded travelers and also for those who want to stay a little bit longer in Playa del Carmen and therefore search for a place which feels a little bit like a home.
Very comfy and clean room! Reception was friendly and helpful. The jacuzzi didn't work properly and honestly wasn't really worth it. Would just go for a simple room and you'll be very happy.
This boutique hotel was everything it said it was and more. Clean, pretty rooms, simple continental breakfast, incredible staff (very friendly and helpful) and GREAT location right in the heart of downtown Playa Del Carmen and close to great restaurants. Would stay here again. Great value!
Place is amazing and it is so clean. Prices were good and I highly recommend the all inclusive it was $50/night per person all you can eat and drink all day. The rooftop is the best part. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t really have “3” restaurants it’s like two rooms with different menu options all out of the same kitchen. The one is Italian food which is open every other night, other is Mexican open every night and the last is Asian open opposite from Italian food. The menu is Small and the food was mediocre. The breakfast is very good though. The food on the rooftop is amazing but be prepared to wait like an hour or two for food so order a lot. The people who work there are very accommodating and friendly. The service is top notch! Very close walk to the beach. I recommend not leaving the resorts too much as it can be dangerous and a lot of hassle walking around having people trying to sell one stuff. Don’t expect any sleep if you’re facing the street there is a bar downstairs that blasts music so loud the door shakes until all hours of the night.
One of the best locations in playa del Carmen. Near every thing you want from beach to party this is a very well thought out complex. Large condos great pool and 24 hour service. Very safe with security all the time. Can't go wrong
A true sanctuary in the heart of PDC. Serenity, amazing staff, and the location is unbeatable. Long or short stays, this boutique property is all you need. Clean, comfortable and a villa feel.
If you are looking to be pampered Isabella is not for you. But if you are looking for a quiet stay, close to the beach, clean accommodations with kind staff, you will enjoy La Isabella.
Beautiful hotel! They really thing of everything, in every room they have packaged masks& hand sanitizer! Also, cute white masks are available at the lobby upon request! The service up at the pool, PHENOMENAL! They take care of you! The only thing I didn’t like was that the hot water in my room took forever to heat up. I was in room 207, so try and avoid this room. Water took like ten min to heat up.
Calm and super beautiful boutique hotel, perfect for relaxing. The staff makes you feel very welcoming and are super kind. We loved how they made it like a small village around the pool area, looking like all small bungalows. Each has it own small porch with a hammock. Everything is clean and comfortable. Location is perfect, in the middle of the strip with all restaurants and bars. Breakfast of the hotel is from an outsourcing restaurant that is connected to it. Service was outstanding as well, the only thing that could be improved are more vegan options instead of only fruit and basic salad ingredients. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place.
Planned a last minute trip to Playa Del Carmen, just returned from an amazing experience. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect with Covid....Playa Palms did not disappoint! I had an ocean front room, it was clean and cute! I cannot say enough about the staff, customer service was top notch, everyone always had a smile on their face and always ready to accommodate. In order to fly back to the US, we had to get a Covid test to prove negative results. The hotel arranged for the lab to come to our room, administer the test and then hand delivered the results the morning of our departure. Could not have been any easier. I highly recommend this hotel when visiting Playa del Carmen!! Thanks Playa Palms for making my get-a-way fabulous!
The Marquee is a very nice boutique hotel. The designs are sleek and modern when first entering. They have an iPAD to check in on and an attentive front desk who speaks english as well. The front desk showed us to our rooms and gave us a tour inside (which might not be the best considering COVID times but appreciate the hospitality). The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, sheets were soft, and the room was spacious for 2 people (we had the king bedroom). Room looked just like the pictures. We did not experience the pool or rooftop bar because the bar was not open yet so can't speak on that too much. The are was kind of smaller than I'd like it to be but still nice. I will say when we checked in there was an issue in price (I was supposed to stay at the Calixta down the street but it was closed during COVID) but it was remediated quickly and thoroughly! So customer service here is top notch. All employees wore masks and there was hand sanitizer present at the front desk. We did not have housekeeping come in our rooms during out stay due to COVID.
One con is what other reviews wrote below me: noise. The walls are thin and you can hear all the noise outside and inside the hotel. There was a bar with a live band our first night so we could hear all of that and just people talking outside so if you are a light sleeper this might not be the best place. Other than that our stay was perfect!
