What our customers say

Our guests can't be wrong!

"Central location to Playa & 5th Avenue!"

The service is exceptional, with a tasty menu at all the restaurants. Of course the roof was even better than the pictures. The breeze was perfect, and the margaritas were spot on. Frángelica, Freddy and all the staff are always on their game and we never had to want for anything. Be sure to stop by the espresso bar in the lobby bar.

"Amazing Vacation"

Mario at the rooftop was very attentive, friendly and helpful. There’s a live DJ everyday, foam parties on Sundays. Rooftop also has drinks and food. The food at the pool is above average with good variety. Hotel is more for couple and friends. Will come back again.

"Great Hotel"

Beautiful hotel, dont waste time and book here! room was huge and modern, pool was very fashion with dj everyday, spa s amazing with large and fully equipped idromassage pool, all inclusive with breakfast lunch and dinner and open bar. Hotel is right in the centre but in a quite area so you can sleep at night which is very difficult in playa del carmen.
