This hotel is a scam. We prepaid for our two night stay in full, on Expedia with itinerary numbers and confirmation numbers to prove it. The manager refused to give us a room, claiming he was in some sort of feud with Expedia and wasn’t getting paid. He demanded we pay him directly, AGAIN for the same room. Over an hour on the phone with Expedia, and Expedia told us to just pay again for the room, and that they’d refund us later. Guess what, Expedia lied and refused to refund us after the trip. We had to contest the charges with our credit card company and weeks after our trip we’re still fighting it out between Expedia who lied, our credit card company, and the hotel which doesn’t respond to anyone by phone or email. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. It’s a SCAM

Absolutely perfect for a no-frills beach trip. The staff was phenomenal, friendly, and helpful. Service was great and the staff also was great at sharing local info and recommendations. Couldn’t be easier to walk out of your hotel room and onto the beach with a full bar and cozy beach beds. Gave four stars on facilities only because the AC was down one night because of a power outage so that was a hot night, but was there for 5 nights total with no issues.

Y’all the staff was so nice. I LOVED this property. The beach is directly behind the hotel. The only downfall is because this is an eco hotel, the air only works during certain times. But it was worth the stay and price!

Playa Canek

Everything was great. It was a very small hotel with beach bar & restaurant. Expect to pay around 100 pesos for a beer and 250 pesos for a cocktail. although I brought my own beer to the beach area. Air conditioner was shut off around 9 AM until 7 PM.. Electricity was shut off for a few hours here, and there during the day, but not all day. The room was very clean and the hot water was excellent with lots of pressure. The nights were very quiet and easy sleeping. The breakfast was just basic with eggs,toast and a little bit of fruit and juice or coffee. The staff was very friendly at all times. And it was an excellent location on the beach, very clean, and there was a man there cleaning up seaweed, but there was hardly any to begin with.(it depends on the time of the year with the seaweed.) I would stay here again.

This is a bare minimum kind of place. Much of the time there will be no internet and often no power. It is difficult to find someone working for the hotel if you have a problem. I'm allergic to mold and had major issues with my asthma and allergies. I paid half through expedia and showed the expedia receipt but they said they never got it. So i had to pay the full price again.

We stayed for 11 nights and had a fantastic time. The hotel is a wonderful place to have a vacation. Paulina in such an amazing hostess. Bruno is a wonderful owner and host. The staff are all super helpful and friendly. This is a small family owned hotel with that special touch. Do not expect all areas to have personnel at all times. But they are easy to find and so very helpful. The access to the beach is perfect. Our room on the third floor was so beautiful with an amazing view of the beach, sunrises and moon rises. We would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay with Playa Canek! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and you cannot beat walking from your room to a perfect beach with soft sand and crystal clear water. Our AC didn’t work one the nights we were there, and we couldn’t adjust the temperature during our stay when it was on, but this was pretty minor and otherwise we had a really wonderful time. Would stay here again!

Simple barefoot paradise

I wanted a true room on the beach mixed in with the jungle and this hotel delivered in full! Just. Wonderful. After staying in Cancun I craved the completely opposite experience. The hotel almost melted in to the beach and i slept with the door open to hear the surf which was literally only 50 feet away. I loved it!
