Cute little property perfect for a Playa del Carmen quick trip. Stayed here for 3 nights. Within walking distance to 5ta Avenida, Coco Bongo, shopping, the beach, nightclubs and many restaurants. It is so close to all the action, that you WILL hear the music in your room! Of course, this is not the propertie's fault. Staff is friendly and attentive. Would stay here again.

Ahava was a great place to stay for a night in between our travels, for the price we paid. The rooms are nothing flash, but is a good affordable option for a short period of time. The location allows you to walk around playa del carman easily if you don’t have much time to properly explore. Only complaints would be that we didn’t have any hot water, and our safe didn’t work, we also only had 1 towel between the 2 of us. There was also only 1 working power point in the room, which was in the bathroom. Photo’s definitely look a little different to what it is. However, the staff were very lovely. Very warm and welcoming. Great value for money!

Totally amazing stay, great for the price. We were literally in the heart of playa del. We took walk in night and it was surrounded by the best restaurants and night clubs, it is a very well secured street with police and national guards all over. Loved the staff. Very welcoming. It is exceptional place for this low price. It is certainly unrated place. We stayed for 2 days, parking is not on site but literally couple of blocks, if you not find spot in that covered building parking, I would advice to just wait until someone takes out their car. In 2 days, we were just fine with parking. On the day of checkout, I noticed my car tire were flat. So I told my wife to stay at the hotel desk with luggage, the guy at reception whose name is VLADIMIR DIAZ asked me if I had spare tire and he could help me. He came with me and changed the tire for me in the parking, we got back in 20 mins and I was so much relived. Otherwise it could have been costed me 400 pesos or more and 2 hours at least. I asked him, what do I owe him and he said nothing I still gave him some. Such a gentlemen. So I asked his name and wrote on paper. It was blessing that he came for help. Above and beyond. Loved the stay

If you’re a budget traveler looking for cheap accommodations in the heart of Playa del Carmen, this is a good place to stay: Pros: location, price, spacious rooms, nice courtyard, friendly staff Cons: shower has no water pressure and doesn’t get hot (this is the biggest complaint I have with the room, the water is literally a trickle at times and will even completely stop after a few min), refrigerator doesn’t get cold (shout out to the employee Angel who let me use a cooler to ice down my cerveza), they charge extra 98 pesos at check in, and I’m not sure why (gringo tax maybe?), it can get loud as you are close to 5th street, music will play all night (not a negative on the hotel, just fyi if that’s something that bothers you), no beach towels in room (they rent them for 100 pesos). For the price (roughly $35/night) it’s well worth it.
