I had a fantastic stay here: Simple check in. Good, clean rooms. Bed was comfortable. And great location! However the best part was Andy! She was so helpful and lovely. Nothing was too hard for her and she gave me great recommendations for around town. It was so nice to have this level of service. It made my stay very enjoyable! I would definitely go back.

Great place by Quinta Ave. Beautiful and delicious restaurant downstairs. Served complimentary breakfast. Wonderful service on all ends. Room was quiet even though it was above the Italian Restaurant. Price for the room was great for what you get. I have stayed here twice and will do it again.

On Playa del Carmen's famous 5th Avenue, an area known as Little Italy, this small hotel offers unique, but comfortable guestrooms, just steps from the beaches of the Caribbean Sea.

Hotel Posada Mariposa is surrounded by tropical gardens and offers guestrooms and suites with Mexican decor, including hand-made curtains and comforters. Guests will also enjoy in-room amenities such as free wireless internet access and cable TV.

A wonderful hotel in a wonderful location. The unique aura inside it, the unique green view and the soothing sound of the fountain. It is especially easy to find because it is on the main street. Only after leaving the inn do you find yourself in the making of an adventure. Everything is a few steps away - restaurants, shops, pizzeria, pharmacy, mini market. The beach is a 4-5 minute walk away. The room is spacious enough, the beds are comfortable, there is a safe, although we also lacked a refrigerator. The room is cleaned and towels are changed daily. No noise is heard either inside the hotel or in the rooms. Since we returned to this hotel for the second time after a 4-day break - we were offered Suite Monaco at a special price, which is on the top floor of the hotel with sunbeds, a jacuzzi, a unique terrace and an impressive-sized room. Small continental breakfast: coffee/tea, juice, fruit plate, toast with butter and jam, granola.

The location was excellent, 5 minute walk to the beach and a block away from the main street. Additionally, the aesthetic of the hotel was very cute. Like cabins in a jungle. The pool was a perfect size, nothing too gaudy. The reception was very helpful. Pool bar was also nice. The room was always clean, the AC worked very well. Although this hotel is very close to the main strip, there were no issues with noise, both from fellow guests and activity outside of the hotel.

    We loved the staff, very friendly help from Lesley, Fernanda on the front desk. Mario, Antonio on the roof and other restaurants, were all great. It took a few days for them to not be so shy, but they were all lovely. We loved that this was a small boutique hotel. Yes, the beachfront is small, but it was very relaxing compared to the monster resorts. The rooftop pool is stunning

    A very unique boutique hotel with an intimate atmosphere. The room is absolutely fantastic - it is huge and decorated with high quality furniture and top design. The rooftop terrace with infinity pool is a highlight. The kindness and attention of the staff is off the chart - Laura at the reception also speaks french and was super helpful as well as Arturo who took care of our requests. We took also massages from the spa - you can choose to have it inside the buidling or next to the sea - we enjoyed both and the therapists were amazing!
