Guest reviews for Hotel La Semilla, Playa del Carmen, a Member of Design Hotels - Adults Only

5 out of 5
I stayed at this property in September without knowing a thing about it. After that 1st night I was so pleased with the staff and hotel itself that it was my 1st selection when I returned to Playa Del Carmen in December. Privately owned with the owner on site and very closely located to all the shopping and beach action you could want but on a very quiet and safe side street so you can sleep. Breakfast is a must here. It’s in the back of the courtyard and all kinds of wildlife come to visit each morning. AAA
