My husband and I just spent 3 nights at Playa Maya. We got to the hotel a little late, but was greeted by Marvin (I believe he's night time security) who helped us to our room. The hotel doesn't have a street entrance so you must walk through the beach, which was fine, we're at the beach anyway! They provide fresh water for the rooms and ours was cleaned nicely everyday. We have nothing but good things to say about this property. Our favorite person was Marvin. He carried great conversations with my husband and I and suggested many fun things for us to check out. The breakfast was good and the hospitality was even better. We will be back!

6/10 Good

Run-down and overpriced
Entrance is difficult to find so call upon arrival. Website listing is inaccurate; the room was very run-down, uncomfortable and with bare bones amenities. The main light was burned out, the closet had no hangers, the safe was broken and unusable, no fridge, a coffee maker without coffee or cups and the only toiletry provided was shampoo through a soap dispenser. The hot water ran out after one minute and the bed was old and uncomfortable, as were the pillows. That being said, the staff was amazing!! and it's a great location. The a/c worked well...

The property needs a direct access from Calle 8 NTE and not to have your shoes wet by the ocean while accessing the hotel by the beach - the rest was fine and the management are excellent people and very hospitable

Liked it was right on the beach. No deadbolt or peephole on the door. Room was entered twice While we were in bed. Had stayed here several years ago, property has gone downhill.internet only worked half the time. Staff was nice, but new.

very rude
your man at the desk would not let me in with my service dog. Your ad on hotels.com said that service dogs were ok. He was tude to me and unkind. he did not care that I had no other place to stay. I asked for a refund and he said no. so you will either refund my money now or I will file a claim with spread word on the internet of your very difficult hotel!!! Michelle

No Wifi for 3 consecutive days in the rooms, wifi was available at main restaurant though. Location is great. Right on the beach. People talk about walking across beach to get to hotel, its 30 feet off the street via beach. Rooms are very basic, not dirty but no extras at all. No blanket on bed beyond sheets for example. Breakfast is great, good omelette and coffee, friendly staff. Office staff are so - so, not looking to help. Location is perfect, on the beach, close to everything and central.

Nothing works like the jacuzzi, the pool was so dirty, I’d told the guy who’s cleaning to don’t clean my bedroom and he didn’t lessen and throw away my wife’s very expensive lotion.

The biggest problem I have is that you actually have to drag all of your luggage through the sandy beach to get to hotel. Also lots of mold under wall AC unit. Only way in and out of room is through sliding glass door with very questionable lock. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the room or sleeping at night. There are many choices on the beach here. I would recommend finding somewhere else.

The beach was wonderful and the staff at Playa Maya were so amazing and kind!! We really loved the people working at the hotel. Beachfront access is awesome. Also, food here is actually quite good for an included breakfast. The facilities like shower etc are not luxurious, so if that is what you’re looking for this isn’t for you, but it is clean and nice enough for the price! I would definitely recommend this hotel based on how well we were taken care of.
