OK so it's either a hidden gem or the worst ever- according to other reviews. Guess what! oth right. We came here 11 years ago and discovered this lovely laid back, simple hotel on the beach at what was then sleepy but beautiful Playa del Carmen. Well, 11 years is a long time and now Playa del Carmen is a... More

We booked this hotel mainly because of its location, right on the beach. I regret so much not having read these reviews, we would have saved money and time, and a good night sleep... First of all, i have to admit the guy in the lobby was friendly but our dissapointment began when we opened the door to an awfully... More

Been to playa four times (so far) . This trip we were forced out of our regular place because of construction and found this place walking back to get our car. Great value for a place on the beach not to mention free parking and 24/7 security. Good food, drinks, pool, and Steve's dive/snorkle shop just next door. Rooms are... More

I stayed for 2 nights at the Costa Del Mar. This hotel is very basic. It's in a great location and an ok value for right on the beach, but it is not somewhere I would stay again. It is basically clean (though not spotless), things in the room functioned fine, no internet except in the lobby. But you get... More

I agree with the other reviewers. We got a fantastic deal. We were stranded in the area after our flights to Cuba were cancelled. It was one of the only hotels in town we could drive up to. The staff were friendly. Great spot right on the beach with deck chair service (love the buckets of beer) and great snacks,... More

This part of town has been taken over by open air nightclubs that blast music up to 4:30 AM. They don't warn you about this and will offer you a discount if you pay cash for your stay upfront and there is NO REFUND. The rooms smell mouldy and are starting to fall to pieces because they are clearly going... More

I have stayed here several times, since the mid 80's to be exact. Used to be a quiet beautiful area and beach, with a simple hotel on the beautiful beach. We used to get a couple of beers and sit on chairs on the beach at night and look at the lights of Cozumel and listen to the waves come... More

The location of this hotel is my biggest complaint. When we booked, we did not realize it was next to the LOUDEST disco on the beach. The music THUMPED until 4:30 AM. We were near the office on the street side and could still hear the music reverberating through the walls. We got no rest what so ever! I realize... More

We were there on the week of Thanksgiving 2007. Had been there the year before. For the price (427 US$ for the week) it is a good deal. Like others said, on the beach, 1 block off 5th Avenue, a good deal. Had problems with noise on the upper rooms. Talked to front desk after one night, and were moved... More

Three friends and I stayed 1 night at Costa del Mar in Nov 2007. This is great location, 1 block from 5th Ave. and right on the beach! The hotel is a value during low season rates. Rooms are clean but a bit sparse but that's OK as much time isn't spent in the room anyway. Costa del Mar has... More
