I travel to playa del Carmen every year and this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. This property needs BIG remodeling, nothing is being maintained in good condition. Don’t believe any of the pictures the property posts. The room and stairs are in horrible conditions the bathroom has a terrible smell of sewer.

Way over priced for condition of room

Old run down. Bed was horrible. Was supposed to be a panoramic view. Only one glass door to street. Loud music every night until 1:30 am. Rooms are directly over bars with loud music. Did have AC and hot water.

This property is right on 5th avenue. Entrance is on 2nd st North, pretty close to 5th Avenue. Balcony faces 5th avenue and is pretty loud late into the night. If sound bothers you, you should reconsider. wifi is pretty good speed. Room is small but comfortable for 2. AC worked well, staff is friendly. Easy to get in and get out. Nothing fancy about this place but budget friendly and all the dining options available to you on 5th Ave.

Panoramic? Down 5th Avenue maybe... but NO seaview

Panoramic Studio, it was supposed to be, with a partial seaview, but there was no seaview to speak of, unless you count seeing what you suspect is the sea between some leaves of trees in the distance? I'm also not sure why they were called Studios, as there was just a fridge freezer, a bed and a wardrobe/cupboard, but even the bedside tables were ripped out ... so nothing to sit on like a chair or sofa, even on the balcony ...

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
What was advertised in the pictures is not what we got. We got a dirty, dingy, smelly. Tiny room. Beds super hard, towels super dingy and old. We had to convince the attendant to give us new ones. The walls were super dirty, tiles in the bathroom falling off. Faucets and sink had left over toothpaste and soap from the previous renter. We do own we were not aware of it being situated in the middle of 5th ave—smack in the middle of the busy strip. We were totally taken advantage of at 150 per night, boy was it a pig sty. For 160 per night we rented a room at the Hyatt in Merida for our next part of our trip. Terrible place Mayab hotel. Disgusting.
