Clean, reasonably priced. Good access to 5th Ave and the beach (although the section right in front of the hotel is not the most swimmable). If you're there for Playa, not the hotel - it will work! The shower was pretty nice, but took forever to get warm.

Samantha, United States of America

All the staff was helpfully and always happy, the restaurant staff was the best and went out of their way for everyone.

Rens, Canada

The room was great but, I believe it was just remodel, there were not enough to electrical plugs, the table lamps could not get plug and the plug in the bath does not work propertly

Adriana, United States of America

Quaint, clean, very close to the beach and 5th Ave.

Vicki, Canada

so close to to beach...was lovely! restaurant was yummy and very friendly staff!

Lisa, United States of America

Personalen var hjälpsam när det visade sig att vår bokning inte fanns kvar och att booking gjort fel. Dom gjorde allt dom kunde och vi fick tillslut ta sviten till samma pris som det rum vi beställt. Läget är bra, alldeles på stranden och till restauranger och affärer och femte avenyn.

Annika, Sweden

The breakfast was always good, staff very friendly and helpful..

Rick, United States of America

The place has a direct access to the beach which is perfect, reception was very helpful and overall the hotel is in a great location and is clean, we didn't got much noise from the outside but we were in a low season

Kattsg, Mexico

Reasonable priced,great memory foam bed. No tv or phone. Breakfast was included a plus. Hotel right next to beach and 1 block away from 5th ave, the main drag.

Nelson, United States of America

The size and layout of the room and its location within the hotel complex was good. The hotel is right on the beach and good for 5th Avenue too.

눉unfortunately, despite the fact that I have stayed here many times before and spent three weeks this time, had one bad incident, While my money was in the room safe, I left my wallet with credit cards in the room often when I was out at beach or out during day to other beaches. I never use to worry. One day three credit cards were removed from my wallet, nothing else was taken and those three cards were all used that night, the hotel unfortunately had no answer as to how this could have happened

눉This place is rustic, there was mold on the sheets, curtains and bathroom. There was no hand soap in the bathroom. I booked a room with "garden view" that meant no tv. Also there was no phone in my room. There was a water tank next to my room for decorating purposes, full of mosquito larvaes.

눉The plumbing is shot! Shower stopped halfway through and didn't work again! Hotel needs to get this sorted. There's no pool which is a negative for me in this style accomodation. The beach is a bit rocky so a pool would be a good option. The beachside bar shuts early, although there is another beachside bar 2 minutes up the beach.
눇The location is great and allows easy access to the surrounding sights of Playa! The staff were very good and helped when needed.

눉No TV in the room, wi-fi was terrible, poor temp control (room was almost always too cold or too hot).
눇Clean, reasonably priced. Good access to 5th Ave and the beach (although the section right in front of the hotel is not the most swimmable). If you're there for Playa, not the hotel - it will work! The shower was pretty nice, but took forever to get warm.

- • Deluxe Double Room with Two Double Beds - Oceanfront
- • Stayed 14 nights
눉Bulldoze it and start with a contractor who knows how to build a comfortable and clean hotel.
눇This was absolutely the worst place we have ever stayed on vacation. We were supposed to be on a 2-week vacation there but were on our way home 3 days into it. The place was shabby needing much work. The rooms were dismal to say the least.

“Cheaper isn't always the best way to go”
- • With a pet
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds and Garden View
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉Rooms were way to hot and ac took a while to cool. Staff weren't as friendly about accommodating us with changes to different rooms. The breakfast was the same every morning and wasn't prepared fresh. The beach water had a lot of seaweed and wasn't clean enough to swim in. We thought if we went cheaper then we could spend money on other things but we found ourselves spending more on dinning...should of gotten a resort.
눇How close we were to the strip and walking distance from everything.

“Good location but not good hotel”
- • Group of friends

눉The location was great and the staff but the hotel needs to upgrade their beds and towels the towels are old and the matres of the beds are super old that some sides of the matres are plunge like if a person slept there for years. I really don't recommend this place the price is to much for what it cost I think a hostal is way better than this place maybe if they upgrade their beds it would be better. I luckily found another hotel next to that one and they charged me half of what I paid on el pelícano for the same amount of days and that other hotel ( illousion boutique) was awesome !!!! So I do recommend NOT to stay in el pelícano

“Not recommended. Bad service and terrible facilities. ”

눉Workers in the hotel are rude and they don't provide basic things. Everything has a price, for instance more coffee 10 usd, extra ingredient in eggs 20 usd, etc, so it's annoying they ask money for everything. No extra tolerance in checkout is allowed even if description in booking is genius. In a nutshell, bad option for your holidays in Playa del carmen
눇Extremely low value for money. Nothing in the property was OK. Nor service nor falicilities were acceptable.

“Close to the beach!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉AC too loud in the room. Availability of hot water in the shower was sporadic. Terrible wi-fi connections. Music started too early in the morning and was too loud, we come to relax. Couldn't get extra towels when asked. No whole grain bread available for breakfast, just white. Too many "rules" with breakfast substitutions and charges, moving tables, etc. Some of the servers were not friendly, I only tipped the ones who were consistently customer oriented. Very hard for shuttles to get close to the property.
눇Front desk staff was very friendly, specially Adrian, very accommodating and polite. Security personnel available at property. Proximity to the beach and downtown. Breakfast included, even thought it has changed from last year, as far as quality. Beach lounge chairs and palapas always available for guests, very nice. Entry way very welcoming and well kept.
