Greatest thing about this was they have a partnership with Mosquito Beach Hotel and Lounge. We did not have to pay for a day's worth of lounging, as it is included in the Basico rate. It is on a very busy corner from dawn till (most people leave the bars). The patio glass doors are heavy duty, so if you... More

We we're lucky enough to escape from Cancun to Playa for Basico's buy 3 nights for 2 deal-- what an amazing spot to meet locals, explore the beaches, and just veg-out on the roof. Fish of the day is always fresh and breakfasts always hit the spot after long nights at Bar Ranita. Kinky polaroid camera chained to the bed... More

Stayed at this hotel for a few days. It is right in the middle of the busiest street in town, there is an open air bar/club across the road from the entrance and another in front. If you are outside your room all you can hear is a thumping of music from 2-3 different clubs... which doesn't make for a... More

Hotel Basico belongs to the Design Hotel chain which is a well selected group of boutique hotels for their unique design aesthetic and standards. The staff here are very friendly, super cool and professional. They were patient enough to persevere with me if I was in the mood to practice my Spanish but also happy to switch to English whenever... More

A polaroid camera chained to the bed. A shower in the bedroom. Hot pink neon lighting. A magazine called "Animal" on the nightstand. This, my friends, is Hotel Basico, the stuff of dreams -- that is, if you ever wished to fall asleep. Couples must find these rooms to be intoxicating temples of modernist passion, with the elevated platform bed... More

I purchased a group on to stay at the Basico in Playa del Carmen. This was a great stay for my husband and my friends. Our room was beautiful, large and spacious. We requested a ocean view room so we could see the skyline. The service was good and very friendly . I would recommend this hotel to a friend. More

I must admit that is the most fun/strange/modern hotel if you going to Riviera Maya. Also it is a block from the beach. But if you want to sleep get a room away from the pool area and the noise at night. The service was great, friendly and attentive. More

We came to Playa on the first week of our honeymoon last year, we were blown away. Basico is one of the most amazing places to stay, the design is inspirational and the staff are wonderful. I don't know what we had expected, but whatever we did was truly supassed by what Basico had for us, I loved the room,... More

This something like a "design boutique hotel" (my description) it has few rooms in a perfect location for visiting Playa del Carmen. Just a block away of the beach and night life. The rooms are very cook designed. They reused ship elements for decoration and as its name says "Basico" means basic which means that all the plumbery is outside... More
