To anyone thinking about the Magic Blue for their Playa del Carmen vaca, go for it if... 1. You are not too worried about luxury/ don't mind walking a block to the beach.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Magic Blue in early June. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again any time. The pool is absolutely beautiful as well as the wonderfully landscaped grounds. Earlier review states the pool closed at 7PM. It was open until 9PM while we were there. Still would have liked... more

My boyfriend and I just returned from a 6 day stay with Magic Blue hotel and it was AMAZING!! Positives- The room was very clean and contemporary in design. Our room was cleaned daily and sometimes 2 times a day! The staff was very prompt and friendly with all encounters. We had requested a lower level room with a King... more

We were in Playa for a family wedding which took place at a nearby all inclusive resort. We wanted to see more than a resort property, and the Magic Blue was a perfect location for what we wanted.

I have RA and have some difficulty in walking especially steps with very little lighting.. Well, the manager took us up to the... more

We loved the Magic Blue. As others have mentioned, the rooms are a bit dark but we overcame this by going to Wal-Mart and buying flourescent bulbs. You might want to pack a couple and be ready. Otherwise, the AC is cool, the rooms are very clean, and the bed is comfortable. Note: The rooms have only one chair, but... more

My wife and I stayed at the Magic Blue for 9 days in Feb. The Magic Blue is a beautiful hotel located very centrally to the 5th street mall (where all the shops and restaurants are located), so it was a very convenient location for us to walk out and explore the beautiful playa scenery. As other people have mentioned... more

We stayed at the Magic Blue from 3/1 to 3/5. We had stopped into the hotel about a week earlier as we were staying at a nearby resort for the first week of our trip, and asked for a quiet room as we had read the previous reviews about the noise. We were told that rooms were assigned in such... more
