If you enjoy listening to thumping music every night until 3am and don’t mind a very basic room with hard beds - this is the place for you then. We paid for breakfast to be included, they give you a voucher to another hotel in Playa Del Carmen which you have to walk to, once there we got charged again saying it wasn’t included even though we gave them the voucher.
