This hotel is very well located in the main avenue. But it has the restaurant downstairs that connects with the hotel, so people from the restaurant can go upstairs to the floor where the rooms are. The room was big but was full of humidity, there was only a small window in the toilet. We were offered the superior room... more

Stayed at the Hotel for 5 nights with my girlfriend and we where overall satisfied. The Hotel has a great location in the middle of Playa del Carmen. If you like it quite don't stay here and if you want to stay there i would recommend to book a room without a balcony because that will give you more noise... more

Hotel Jungla Caribe is located on the corner of 5th and 8th and a ½ block from the beach- in the middle of everything. The hotel ambiance gives sophistication, class, and style! There website CAN be a bit deceiving--- you may think you are getting a budget cost for what they portray in their website photos. However, the budget rooms... more

I stayed here with my sister, and we booked it in advance based on the pictures on the website, which make it look really nice. When we got there, it was clearly much more run down than it looks in pictures and everything smells like bathroom disinfectant, which doesn't quite mask the smell of the bathrooms. There is a pool,... more

Even though it was fairly inexpensive, I was disappointed in this hotel. We were on the fourth floor with no elevator, right on the busy thoroughfare. The first night I could not get to sleep as people were partying and mariachis playing right below the window - and it was even closed. The beds were a bit saggy and the... more

Jungla Caribe is right on the main drag - 5th Avenue. So, there is quite a bit of noise coming from outside. But that was the least of my problems! I found the noise coming from inside the hotel overwhelming. 5:30am I was awoken every morning by the sound of a thousand glass bottles crashing. The employees could be heard... more

Are you looking for a budget hotel in Playa? This is it. You can´t get cheaper and nicer (at the same time), than this one..... I run into this hotel when looking for accomodation for 2 nights in Playa. I have looked into 7 different hotels, and checked every possible web site back at home, before finding this one. And... more

I spent 2 weeks in this really awesome hotel! Nice, friendly and clean place. Unique furniture and rooms. Great personnel. If you want to spend a cosy, relaxing vacation, this is the place to stay at! Romantic dinner in the courtyard with delicious mexican food, or just walk to the beach and take a swim in the ocean. Bärbel, thanks... more

I've spent three weeks in this lovely place! Even though it's on Calle 5, it's a very cozy and laid back place. The interior is just overwhelming with its spectacular garden. If you are hungry, the restaurand "Jaguar" also located in the same place is one of the best choices in PDC. Hotel and restaurant are run by the very... more

Jungla Caribe is the Chelsea Hotel of Playa del Carmen. Kind of scrappy and funky but charming none the less. And, like the Chelsea Hotel of NY, it cries out for thrifty artists and poets to appreciate its homey authenticity. Nothing fake here. Character Abounds. Pretty much a bare bones deal, my room was clean, and had all the basics:... more
