Size and amenities of each room is quite varied. Be very careful when selecting.

Location, location, location. Lounging on the beach is the best!

Stayed in February 2025

A wee bit irritating, not enough beach chairs so we ran into the problem of people getting up early and claiming chairs with a towel. Those would often stay vacant for many hours.

Loved the location. It was a few blocks from the Centre but there were coffee shops and a few restaurants to the main square. Our unit was in the back building but just a few steps through the front building to the beach.

Internet connection.

The beach, room, and location were excellent. The only minus is the bad internet connection in the room.

Very few if any kitchen cooking supplies. No kettle, no pots,

Location, roomy,

Stayed in December 2024

The pillows were not very good but they did try to find us better ones. The beach also had a ton of seaweed but that has nothing to do with the hotel. Overall the pillows were the only downside and there were so many upsides we didn’t mind at all

So quiet and very clean. Super friendly staff, we don’t speak much Spanish and they didn’t speak much English but they were still able to help us with everything we needed and were so friendly. Also a great little beach area behind the hotel.

The single room is rather small Can be noisy

Beachfront, Clean and good location

Stayed in August 2024

The beach side property doesn’t have A/C in the main living areas (kitchen, bathroom, and living room), and for 7 months of the year, it can be downright miserable, despite the abundant ocean breeze. The beach area is unkept, by the staff, and the seaweed becomes a major obstacle, especially during the summer and fall months. About half of the lounge chairs need to be replaced.

Good location, It is our third visits to Puerto Morelos, each time we have stayed at Aricefes, due to the location, because it is within walking distance to the town square, but away from the noise. It has a nice ocean front area complete with palm trees and palaypas to lounge under.

Stayed in August 2024

Decent window coverings to block out light at night. Maybe one day of room service during our stay.

Great location near the beach and near a great beach bar. Lounge chairs under the palms were lovely. Location is good a 10 min walk into town. Room was fine but small. Had a balcony with a little sea view. We were in newer building.

The place is nice for a short stay, otherwise maybe a bit run down (due to the proximity to the sea probably).

The sea room view with direct access to the beach was amazing.

Stayed in March 2024

On the beach, there were beach chairs with tables in the shade, which was great, but a number of the beach chairs were broken and should be replaced.

The location of Arricefes, which was right on the beach and close to town, was fantastic. We had a suite on the second floor with a view of the sea, which I would highly recommend. The suite was well furnished and clean. The bed was comfortable and the bedroom had air conditioning. The staff was friendly and responsive.

Cleanliness of the grounds

Beach

Stayed in March 2024

We didn’t use the pool. It was in an out-of-the-way, shaded area. The shower head was so bad…very little water (maybe holes were plugged?). I had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink. Also the first few days we had no hot water. We had room #101. The bed pillows were very uncomfortable. Door lock/key were very difficult to use.

Location was great, just a short drive (probably walkable for younger people) to restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. Beach and lounge chairs and palapas were perfect. Room had everything we needed. We enjoyed the private lanai.

Sofa bed was awful

Location and staff

Stayed in February 2024

The bathroom was strange separate tiny toilet room and separate unattractive shower room. Water pressure terrible. Decided not to wash my hair.

The location right on the beach and near restaurant row. Cute private terrace with partial view of the ocean.

Stayed in February 2024

Would like cleaning done every day. At least a bromm in the room if not. Ran out of toilet papet, towels. No washclothes, dishtowels or sharp knives. Did not like stairs. Husband has dementia, we really struggled. We were on third floor.

Staff at front desk wonderful both day qnd night. Great location. Like the book exchange.

Place quite run down, no coffees or tea in room. Expensive for what you get.

The shower

The location is great, on the beach with umbrellas and chairs. We had a little balcony with a partial view of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was not good, needed a new shower head. The staff was very nice .

The beds, surfaces, and floors were pretty clean, but the whole place needs a deep cleaning. There was noticeable dust and dirt in the corners, on ledges on doors and windows, and around the edges of sinks and the toilet. The room also needs a lot of basic maintenance. The front and back sliding doors need to be replaced or fixed. The keys and locks get jammed and the locks aren't sturdy. All of the cabinet hardware, sink hardware, shower hardware, light fixtures, toilet seat, bedroom curtains, kitchen utensils, and appliances including the fridge are pretty old and need to be replaced. Very affordable modern looking replacements could easily be found on Amazon that would make a huge difference in giving the room a more modern, clean feel. The brown sofas and dark wood furniture also give off a very 70s-80s vibe. The walls and ceiling need some repair work. And all of these updates could be covered for a fraction of our 8 night room fee and need very little skill to do. There are also two more major but necessary updates that need to be made: 1. An AC unit needs to be installed in the living room or at least a more powerful ceiling fan or two AND a powerful oscillating floor fan. It was too hot to hang out in there during the day, and I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping there. 2. Something needs to be done about the sewage smell creeping out of the bathroom drain. It's fine for a while after a shower, but starts to smell again after a few hours. A temporary fix might be to install an electric vent fan and run it on a timer. Some air freshener and fresh flowers would also help. The following things aren't necessary, but I think would really make Arricifes stand out: 1. Provide guests with contact info for a distilled water and ice delivery service. 2. Provide bikes for rent with large baskets that guests could take to the supermarket. 3.

The room has a full kitchen with a bar and a good sized kitchen table. The living room has two sofas and a coffee table. From the living room area, you go through a sliding glass door to a veranda/balcony with an amazing ocean view and a table that can comfortably seat 6. As you look out into the ocean from the balcony, you are looking directly east where you can observe beautiful sunrises over the Caribbean if you can get up early enough. From the balcony, there is a spiral staircase that goes down to a common grass area just over which are the steps to the private beach area. The private beach area is for Arricifes guests only, and there are always a sufficient number of beach chairs and tables with umbrellas available - first come, first serve. This private beach chair area is the best I've seen along Puerto Morrelos's long beach. There is ample space to set up your group's own little area, and my absolute favorite feature is the mature, tall palm trees which tower over the lounge area. They provide additional shade and the sound of the ocean breeze rustling their leaves provides a calming atmosphere perfect for reading and naps. At the end of the private beach area, the public beach begins where you can observe local families of many generations spending time together eating and drinking while the kids run wild. Vendors selling everything from handmade jewelry to fresh pastries, sliced tropical fruit, and jars of honey to whole fresh coconuts which they'll chop open with a machete to expose the coconut water which you drink with a straw. After crossing 30-40 feet of the white sand public beach area, you hop over a little pile of sargassum (arriving earlier and earlier every year) and hit the warm turquoise water of the Caribbean.
