Loved Playa del Carmen and Hotel was in the perfect área from La Quinta. Hotel was cozy and quiet, I was tired enough not to hear the late night music. Lety one of the staff made us feel at home. The hospitality and any information we needed was very helpful to make our one week stay very memorable. Gracias Lety por toda tu asistencia con el mantenimiento del cuarto y cualquier información que necesitaba para conocer lo hermoso de Playa del Carmen! The only downfall was elevator didn't work but we got our steps in for the month.

Rooms were very nice and comfortable cleaning staff was excellent, front desk attendees were wonderful and helpful, breakfast was a good value which was combined with the price of the hotel. Hotel rate was very reasonable. Suggest you talk directly with Illusions for a better rate. Great location— Steps to the beach, great restaurants with great prices. Significantly better value than Florida where we just spent two weeks. The general manager Mr Giuseppe Crapanzano and his staff could not have been any better and work diligently to please hotel guests. Everything was clean and orderly. Very comfortable roof deck pool and bar to get out of the crowd, delightful for a happy hour after the beach. Highly recommend this great value!!!

I arrived fairly late and was so.glad that the staff were really welcoming and friendly. I had one of the rooms around the pool, which is great because they have little patios to sit outside, which is lovely in the evening. There are loads of restaurants and shops closeby and the beach is also only 50 metres away. My room was spacious and clean. I love their soap and shampoo, smells so good, much better than the usual stuff. The breakfast buffet was fine for me, nothing exceptional. I really enjoyed my stay here.
