This hotel is a major Red Flag! I would recommend anyone considering a stay at this hotel, to rethink their decision! This hotel spelled trouble from the moment we arrived. We were visiting my sister who is living in Playa and she had booked the hotel for us a few weeks before we arrived. She had to pay the entire... more

The beginning of my vacation at this hotel did not begin very well because we were asked to pay as soon as we arrived at the hotel. My friend did not think they were very friendly as well. We were going to check out the hotel the next day. However, we decided to stay because of the safety of hotel.... more

My sister and I decided to take a break from the bustle of Cancun to try Playa del Carmen's Hotel Prisma caribe. We were cautious after reading the reviews posted here, however our stay turned out to be fantastic. The hotel is small and very intimate. Everything is immaculately clean, from the rooms, to the public lounge area. I am... more

Having made at least a dozen trips to Playa del Carmen, I know the place and have experience staying in a number of small hotels. I have never experienced owners like those at the Prisma Caribe. Upon arrival alarm bells went off in my head when they insisted that I pay upfront for my total two week stay (something I... more

As of Mid April 2007 a new building is being constructed directly next to this hotel. There is no escaping the constuction noise and dirt. At a least half of the rooms in this hotel have bathroom windows facing the construction site. Not withstanding the claims by the owners you should expect a lot of noise from at least 8:00... more

Prisma Caribe was exactly what we had hoped for! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in early March and loved it. The pool is clean, the lounge around the pool is so cute and realzing, the breakfast was good enough and the location was great... RIght by 5th Avenue without all of hte tourists. Close to everything... more

My boyfriend and I spent one week there in July, and I surely don't regret having spent hours on the net finding the hotel that would meet my expectancies! This one did: we had a lovely (and big enough) room, a few yards away from the swimming pool, the beach is 10 minutes away, and so is the city centre...... more

I stayed at the Prisma Caribe the first week of september 06. If you are used to huge, all-inclusive hotels, this is not the right choice for you. The breakfast is simple, the pool is small and the room size modest. There is no floating bar in the pool, no huge grounds and hordes of noisy tourists. I loved it!... more

Our stay here was perfect. The owners were always smiling and helpful, the same goes for the employees, especially Carlos, who was good enough to climb a tree and deliver to us fresh coconuts. You are 1/2 block from fifth avenue, where all of the excitement and noise is; however, once you are in the pool area, on your balcony,... more
