This hotel makes you feel that you're in Miami. Great location and centrally located. The seafood ceviche at the rooftop bar is definitely worth getting. However, it can be a bit noisy since it is centrally located. If you're looking for a trendy interesting place in playa del carmen this is it! More

Really liked the look of the place, having seen it in various guides and websites. It is clear though that more thought has been put into the design than the functionality of the hotel. The roof top bar was so noisy till quite late and this filtered down to the rooms below, making it impossible to sleep until the bar... More

Based on the reviews below, I can't beleive peoples' expectations of hotels. This hotel is amazing from a design perspective. It's beautifully appointed and a joy to look at and stay at. I think as Playa Del Carmen grows closer to becoming another Cancun, it invites boring, unimaginative Americans who belong elsewhere rather than an ultra hip and interesting hotel.... More

The hotel is well located in Playa del Carmen, close to the beach, restaurants and fun things. The staff was friendly. But the idea of staying at this hotel for a week was not palatable. The rooms were just a little too basic. Not nearly enough room to store your clothes, not a single flat surface upon which to set... More

Bullet points seem to be easier to read: Starting with the good... - Very cool website, makes hotel look amazing - The manager of the hotel was very sweet and friendly, welcoming, helpful - Really cool location, on main strip, a block from beach - Starbucks RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET! Now for the truth... - Switched rooms three times and... More

The hotel was ok. Nice location, 5th avenue. Good food. Nice staff. About the noise, it is not loud, you can sleep with no problem. I booked this hotel to have the experience with my wife having that street view from the bed. It is very exciting, but there is too much light from the street, we needed to partially... More

I just returned from my vacation so my observations are still fresh and clear. My husband and I stayed at Basico several years ago (maybe 2006?) when it had just opened and it made a lasting memory in our minds. It is a gorgeous hotel. Staying there made us feel 1000x cooler then we'll ever be and that pretty much... More
