We stayed here at the end of April for 5days. It was the best vacation to Mexico so far. We've been 1/2 a dozen times or so. Can't wait to stay here again. Best place to stay if you like walking, shopping and bar hopping at night, along 5th ave. Great food too.. GET THE UPGRADE for the larger room... More

This boutique hotel is in the heart of downtown Playa. Walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, and beaches. It's a small hotel with 4-5 floors and 5 rooms per floor. It has a tiny dingy elevator and a stairwell that runs down the middle of the building. There is a bar/club on the roof, so at night, it gets... More

Be Playa is an ecclectic hotel but it is missing some important features. If you do not book a larger suite, you will be in a very small cramped room, so you may want to spend the extra money for the space. The standard room that we had was very uncomfortable. There is no door to the bathroom so no... More

We wanted to try a night or two away from the "mega" resort we usually stay in the riviera. We chose Be PLaya because it was new and looked very modern. We were not disappointed. The room decor was very nice. And the bed was the most comfortable we had on our trip. The room had an Ipod charger (awesome)... More

We were a bit leery of booking, as this property is new and few reviews are posted. We've stayed at Hotel La Tortuga a few times in the past (and loved it) but Orbitz was running a deal we couldn't resist. The rooms at Be Playa are far superior to those at La Tortuga -- spacious, immaculate, lovely lighting, and... More

What a delightful little hotel. Quite literally one minute from 5th ave with all its noise, the hotel is at the quieter end of the pedestrian strip. A nice little sushi bar downstairs, a cool rooftop bar/lounge upstairs and great rooms in between. The staff is always helpful and courteous and the place has the feeling of a hotel for... More

Nice place. Nice location, but the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in. We were in suite 205 which is wrapped on two sides by windows that open to the street. Nice design, but at night, we had to leave the television on to drown out the noise of the traffic outside. (You don't realize how many cars in Mexico... More

What a great hotel! Very modern and great attention to detail. The rooms are very bright, with natural light and tons of in room lighting as well. It’s located just 1 block from the main strip which is perfect b/c it’s quieter, but you are just steps away from everything! The roof patio/bar/pool is a great place to relax! Ample... More
