| For the price asked, the rooms we had are lousy. |

| The hotel itself was nice, recently remodeled with a small, but comfortable pool/courtyard area and a nice roof-top patio. My boyfriend and I stayed in the "Pretty Room" which was the least expensive room they offered, and one of the cheapest deals I could find in the area. Unfortunately, it was not part of the recent remodel and was terribly uncomfortable. It was very small, no room to unpack any of our things except for on a dirty floor; the bathroom was even smaller and had a continuous nauseating odor; and the bed was worst of all causing several sleepless nights for both of us. The hotel is centrally located, but if you're not a late-night partyer, bring your ear plugs because the dance club next door starts up about 10:30pm and feels like it's right in your room, and (at least during our stay) construction of a new condo complex across the street started where the night club left off. If you don't require a lot of sleep and want to save some money, this is the place for you, otherwise I'd recommend spending a few extra dollars on a comfortable hotel room a little farther north in the quieter part of town. |

| The hotel was very nice. However the room and bathroom were smaller than we anticipated. For 2 of us we had plenty of room, but for more people it would have been tight. The location is great. It is about 1 1/2 blocks from the beach. And only a block from many great shops and restaurants in Playa del Carmen. The staff here is great!! They were very helpful. |

| I have traveled all over Mexico and this little place is very nice. I did have an issue with the Manager who wanted additional money from the package I had already bought from online travel website . I did contact online travel website at my expense and requested they contact the hotel. I was never bothered again. I did have an issue with the toilet but it was fixed immeadiately the next day. I highly recommend this place to everyone! It is very cozy, close to the beach and to all the restaurants and clubs in Playa. |

| For the price, this hotel was a great bargain and allowed us to be close to the action at Playa del Carmen. Just half a block from the main pedestrian walkway and beach, we felt like we were part of it all. The hotel is relatively small, trendy and a great place to spend a few nights. The main downside is that tours to Chichen Itza do not pick you up at the hotel. In order to get picked up, you have to walk to a nearby large hotel for that, which was a mild annoyance. Besides that, we had a great time. |

| Hotel Kinbe is a wonderful place with lots of charm. The location is excellent - the more popular restaurants and the beach are just steps away. It was so relaxing to sit on the roof deck at night and look at the stars and listen to the ocean. Truly an amazing hotel and the perfect place for those not interested in the giant resorts. |

| Located right off of bustling 5th Avenue, the Kinbe is a great place to stay. Rooms are basic, but clean and air-conditioned. Staff is extremely friendly. |

| Got woken up by rodents 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there. When we complained the manager was incredulous, and when we convinced her, she said ""this is the jungle and things like this happen."" Very unapologetic, no refund or discount was offered. Given the # of hotels in playa, you can get a much better place for the price. |

| I had heard so much about Playa that I wanted to stay in a quiant chic hotel in the heart of the city and not pay too much. This is exactly what I found. Service was excellent! Mini bar was very fairly priced. The hotel is 2 minutes from Fifth avenue and 1 blick from the beach. I recommend this property if you want to really live the Playa experience. You will not be disappointed |
