Nice accommodation to stay in Playa Del Carmen. Very easy to communicate with the staff, who were very quick to respond via Whatsapp. Only thing to note is that the pool is in a different building (only 4 blocks away), which I wasn't aware of when booking. Additionally, the rooms lack external windows, resulting in no natural sunlight. It wasn't an issue for me. I would recommend this if you're looking for accommodation in Playa del Carmen that offers value for money.

Door Entry-Code Nightmares I do not want to be overly critical about my stay: it was okay. I had a bed, I had a shower, I had a sink; they gave me a scrubber to wash my dishes---everything was largely okay. The chamber maid was very attentive. The primary reason why I would *NOT* stay there again is because of that damn door code-entry noise. Every time someone enters the door it makes a noise, then it makes another noise (when) they do not close the lock. Every time someone forgets the code to the door it makes a noise. All day. All Night. All the time. I hear the sound of that code-entry in my sleep. I hear the sound of that code-entry in my nightmares. I hear the sound of that code-entry at breakfast... at lunch... and at dinner... and all the meriendas in between. I hear the sound of people trying to press the code, and forgetting their code ---- in my sleep. At this point, I can tell you exactly who forgets their code, and what floor they stay on. Yes, I acknowledge that this is primarily because I was in a room close to the front door, but I heard others dreading that machine noise. I would rather have a tarjeta-entry, or an old-fashioned KEY. I can hear that noise right now, and I know someone's gonna' try NINE times... and they still can't get it. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 That code-entry noise is like those robots from the French version of WAR OF THE WORLDS. C'est un son horrible! AHHHHHH they forgot the code again!!!!!!!
