Dear guest. thank you for taking the time to write a review. About seaweed, we work hard daily to keep the beach as clean as possible . But now is getting better, We provide a live webcam on our website for guests to see the beach daily and be able to make a wise decision whether they choose Playa Del Carmen for their vacations, or another destination. We apologize for that situation. We really appreciate that you recommend us and we hope to welcome you back.
Kind regards.

Relatively cheap, on the beach. A bit run down, had some mold in the shower and in a few spots on the property.
Glad I didn't pay for an ocean front room, as the entire area is overrun with seaweed and smells like garbage. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time 🤔😲☹️

Thank you for leaving your comments. Feedback from our guests allows us to better our service and facilities. We are very shocked that you found mold in the room and common areas, as we treat it very frequently. We will bring this to management. We are also pleased to say that the city cleaned our beach today and it looks much better. There is no more bad smell and the seaweed is practically gone.
We hope you choose to stay with us in the future, in a better season when the beach is clear!

We had a wonderful experience; hotel is just the right size for us. The room was spacious, clean with kitchenette and plenty of drinking water. Staff always available and very accommodating. Continental breakfast perfect to start the day. I highly recommend for a quiet and restful experience.

Very nice little boutique hotel. Wonderful staff. Very clean rooms.
Breakfast could be better, it's a bit generic.
Air conditioning is very noisy... and this could be fixed for a more comfortable stay...

Photos not like hotel
Pros:nothing
Cons:allot
When I arrived it took over 30 minutes to check in. Hotel has no parking available. While I was waiting some guests asked for additional towels and was told that there was nothing available til the next day.
Once I got into the room it had a overwhelming smell of pinesole and the room was so small. The pool is beyond small as well.
I ended up staying across the way at the Taj wayyyy better experience.

Dear Francoise,
Thank you for sharing your review. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain and improve upon the service we provide to our guests.
Please accept our apology for the situation on your room and with the towels. We wished you would have reached out to us, so we could have reacted immediately.
Please note that towels service is subject to availability and during summer high season this could happen, however it is not common and we are happy to be able to provide the service to the majority of our guests.
Please let me clarify that we don't advertise parking since is a service we can't provide.
Regarding the size of the pool, we are aware that our pictures show what we have, we apologize we didn't fulfill your expectations.
Kind regards,

Cute little Boutique Hotel on the beach
Lovely little place with a very helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast served on your own patio each morning is a nice touch. The drawback is the beach is covered with fishing boats & stinky seaweed so no swimming or even sunbathing, the smell is unbearable. The pool is very small and ice cold. We had to rent a van to Tulum for beach action.

Dear Monica,
Thank you for taking a moment to review your recent stay with us. We are glad your enjoyed the attentive service of our staff and having breakfast served on your terrace every morning.
We sincerely apologize for the condition of our beach at the moment of your stay. We understand how disappointing this is. However, it is not a reflection of the beach throughout the whole year. The seaweed washed up only at certain times of the year, and usually only during a couple days or weeks maybe. The amount of seaweed is already decreasing and we are positive that soon it will be gone again.
We also want to apologize if the water in our pool was too cold. Since during most months of the year it gets very hot in Playa del Carmen, the water gets heated enough by the sun. We will consider to implement a solution for the other weeks.
It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Kind regards,
Helge Sturesson

thank you for taking the time to review Hotel Playa Palms. We are glad to read that you enjoyed our location directly at the beach. Being located also in the very center of Playa del Carmen comes with pros and cons, one of the downsides being the noise from the nearby bars and nightclubs. This is why we invested a lot of effort into soundproofing not only our rooms, but also the hotel entrance, and have since received many compliments that our rooms are to a large degree well soundproofed. However, we recognize that for light sleepers the street side units may be a bit noisy, and we are working on resolving that too.
Kind regards from Playa del Carmen,
Désirée
