Beautiful rooms but rather small. Great front-desk service. Very noisy until the lounge closes. more

I stayed at the Hotel Deseo for about 3 nights. The room was on the patio level, but in a quiet corner. The balcony, which had a nice hammock on it, faced the side street (not main avenue in Playa, whose name I forget right now). Like its sister hotels, Basico (also in Playa) and Habita (in Mexico City), Deseo... more

The Deseo is trendy hotel in a great location on 5th Ave. The staff was very friendly and everyone at the reception desk spoke english. The rooms are clean and comfortable. No TV but who needs it in a beautiful place like this. They provided a free breakfast (cereal, bread, fruit, granola bars) by the pool everyday from 8am -... more

The Deseo is a lovely hotel in some respects. The rooms are minimalist and stylish, the staff are punctual and helpful, and the pool are and bar are great places to be. That said, the Deseo is a terrible hotel for one main reason - the noise levels that you will encounter will ruin your stay, especially if you are... more

I would love to give Deseo a great review. It is an interesting modern design hotel. However please be aware that the "Lounge" is a full blown Club/Disco with ( in my opinion) very obnoxious music. With some earplugs I started feel like I might get some sleep until bright flashes of light started pulling all my senses away from... more

I really want to give the Deseo more stars, but as I fight off stomach flu and a cold after staying there for a week, I simply can not do so. So, the good - the design is fantastic. Attention to detail in the design is excellent, it really is a study in minimalism, and I loved that element. But... more

We had our destination wedding in Playa del Carmen and chose Deseo for our Rehearsal Dinner. I couldn't have been happier with this choice. We had such a great time. The location was perfect and the service was excellent! Hugo and his staff really took care of us and all the details! The food was really good, too. They went... more

The Deseo has definitely a very cool pool/launge arae! In the evinings the music, athmosphere, colours, divan beds... are absolutely fantastic. Perfect for a start into partying or just a relaxed evining. But for all this you do not need to sleep in the hotel. The rooms are small, sparse, no place to dry you beach stuff and way to... more

Deseo was one of the first "designed" hotels in Playa. Back in the day it was a welcome change to the rustic and "very small town Mexican style" accomodations and restaurants. Clean, white, cool. It is still very much these things. The staff is great. Friendly, socialable and all speak excellent English. They generally stay out of your way. By... more
