Right on the beach. If you are looking for a super duper plush hotel ... this isn't the spot for you. It is clean, very simple (no tv) and the staff is awesome. Bring your own toiletries - but big fluffy beach towels are there for you at the front desk. They also have yoga classes throughout the day for... More

Alhambra hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of 5th Avenue. The place is clean and comfortable and the prices are reasonable. You can find bathrooms on the lobby so you dont have to go upstairs. The staff is very kind. Rooms are big and very clean. The food is excellent so you dont have to search for more. I... More

After 2 false starts we finally found a good, reasonably priced option in ever changing PLaya del Carmen. Location is what it's all about here- walk out from the bar and onto the beach, without the noise of some other beach hotels. Hotel is clean rooms are comfortable, only niggle being a low pressure shower. Also no TV a plus... More

My wife and I had stayed here on two previous occasions and had a nice quiet time. Not this time. We arrived just as the hotel was filling up with a youthful Swiss soccer team in town for a few matches. They were drunk, noisy and generally obnoxious and literally trashed the place during our stay. The management did nothing... More

This is our 4th year at the Alhambra and we had another great week. We stayed in room 12 for 4 years straight. It is a street side with balcony and ocean view. We went ahead and reserved the ocean front room for next year. We love the Alhambra!!!!! I don't know what the folks from Ottowa are talkin about... More

We had the nicest room in the hotel. We had the only king size bedroom over looking the water. Our room was next to the yoga studio and we had a balcony which wrapped around the hotel from the beach to the side entrance. It was clean, hat hot fresh water showers, breakfast was included and delicious. The location was... More

Never again. We stayed in this hotel in Feb this year, and it was probably the worst hotel we experienced in Playa. The management and staff are rude, and refuse to speak English to tourists. The room was old and filthy, and the food was a joke. We moved out after the first night just across to Mosquito Beach Hotel... More

My friend and I spent 4 nights at this lovely little hotel from Feb 11-15. Everything about this hotel was exactly what we expected, and then some. Both the front desk and on-site restaurant service was impeccable - thank you!! The hotel's decor is very pretty and the rooms are simple and super-clean! Beds are quite firm as is common... More
