This was back packing experience for us on our honeymoon. We got the flight and hotel booked through Expedia in Mexico the night before going. In expensive has been the way we have gone throughout our trip.This may have been the Jewel of the Nile years ago but definitely not now. Plusses air conditioning, fridge in room, two minute walk to the beach, and close to all the shopping and food you can handle on 5th. Of the four in expensive hotels we have stayed at this has our lowest rating. The hotel we are at now is cheaper but 1000% better in every aspect you can imaging except for surrounding area. Hotel at now feels like new or freshly renevated. Casa Tortuga 5th feels renevated 30 years ago with minimal updates since then left to just take in money with guests wanting to be in Play del Carmen. Place isnt horrible, just not the opposite,it's right in the middle. If your there as we were to see and experience and travel and do in Playa del Carmen and all you want is a reasonable place inexpensive to rest your head with air conditioning then this will be ok. Its clean and room service in the morning its just old and tired now. Truly great location! If you find inexpensive package while in Mexico with this place and what you want is go snorkeling, scuba diving see pyramid go in cenote and a lot of other stuff anf just need a clean place to rest your head with air conditioning(as you need it here) then this will be fine

The hotel itself is very quiet despite being right in front of a bar, the rooms from the third floor don’t have numbers so that it was a little difficult to find our room, we kinda had to guess based on the rooms at the bottom, but overall a good property.

employee took airpods

great value and location. my only complaint is i left my airpods in the room along with a charging block and cord. since im able to track my airpods, when i couldn’t find them a couple of hours after leaving the hotel i found out that they are in a neighborhood in Cancun. obviously an employee grabbed them and took them home rather than waiting to see if they were reported missing.

Upon arrival in the room,we noticed an overpowering bleach smell along with a mold smell. We looked around and there was mold along the bathroom and closet walls. We decided then and there to go find another hotel.

Lugar con buena ubicación, pero mucho ruido en la noche. Para subir a otros pisos es por escalera, es muy reducida y es difícil manipular equipaje a través de esta.

Me recibieron tarde, si hay personal atendiendo Recepción. El cuarto (3) amplio, con refri, pero el baño si necesitaba atención de pintura y por su diseño tiraba mucha agua hay que tener cuidado, yo pedí toallas extras y las usé de tapete y ahí nos percatamos de algo y en general todo el piso, estaba lleno de pelos … Tanto en en baño como en el cuarto. Muchos.

Muy buen lugar aunque faltan espejos en las habitaciones y tal vez una silla. En el anuncio mencionaba que había entrada a un beach club y al preguntar en la recepción, nos dijeron que no era así. La limpieza muy bien y las personas con las que tratamos durante nuestra estancia, fueron amables.
