This new hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to 5th Street, the beaches, and the local community. A+ for location! There is also a beautiful and expansive supermarket right under the hotel to get whatever culinary needs you require. We were upgraded to a balcony room as Bonvoy Titanium,.The price point of the Aloft was also a value, and it is a good bargain in using Marriott Bonvoy points. Javier that checked us in was lovely and gracious, and all staff were pleasant and professional. Aloft is an unusual hotel--one that wants to be a wanna-be hip W Hotel and also a Fairfield Inn for Gen Z'ers. It didn't do either very well, unfortunately. The staff wanted to do well, and perhaps there are still newly opened growing pains that will be worked out. Housekeeping was promised daily, but on 3 out of the 5 days we had to call Housekeeping after returning from the day;'s activities to service the room (which they did right away when called) but this was a big fail. The purified water dispenser in the nice gym was often empty. And generally the upkeep of the hotel is not or was not a priority. It's nice and new and ”hip looking” but metal surfaces and walls by the pool on the 4th floor are rusting already, and little bits of trash on the hallway carpeting remained for the 5 days which showed they didn't vacuum the common areas as often as should be. Room A/C and common area A./C were great! 4th floor pool has city and sea views in the distance and we could often see Cozumel and the cruise ships anchored there in the far distance on most days. I wanted the stay to be great, but it was good.
The hotel and parks are great, lot of fun, food and entertainment. No complaints there. While I was there they offered my some extra activities for free, if I agreed to a 45min presentation on the membership they offer, it turns out to be 3 or 4 hours long. So I really like the place so I signed up for the membership, I paid half up front and I had about a month and a half to pay the rest if I wanted a 5% discount, if not I had to do monthly payments. So time comes to pay the other half. So people that work at the hotel or whoever has access to the members personal information, they take it and pretend to be part of the hotel and they offer you a better discount. That’s how I and many others were scammed. I contacted the hotel and for some reason I was connected to the executive of reservations not the membership department. Which makes no sense to me. I just want people to be aware of the scam that's going if you decide to become a member.
DO NOT BE FOOLED by their marketing. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I have no idea how they get these positive reviews. This hotel is making sure they show up first in all your searches. They have pictures that do not reflect what you get. I thought I was the only one, but others were at the front desk also complaining about the rooms. They show furniture that's not there, many of the rooms face one another so you can't have the window open without being 10ft from someone else's balcony and you can see into the other rooms. There is NO VIEW at all. It's tight quarters and apart from 1 guy at the front and the cleaning lady who was really sweet, there is never a manager on site, so receptionist can't do anything is not well trained. With so many other places to stay in Playa, I would NEVER recommend this and I've traveled the world. Definitely DO NOT BOOK NON-REFUNDABLE. At least if you want to leave, you can. Location is about 5 blocks from 5th and 10th ave. But there are plenty of options within that distance. I've been to Playa so many times and I wish I could warn people just to keep looking as this is not a very nice place for the money and you can definitely find better and be treated better!

訪訪客We booked an ocean view luxury room .We were impressed at our first look but : the hot tub didn't work at all ,pay attention in the balcony when you enjoy the sight ,,is not quite safe,the water from the shower is not properly draining.Also they need to update the website ,because is not any restaurant,and they have no beach in front.You can compensate this with the pool on the roof ,nice view ,nice staff.The room was very clean from the beginning,staff very friendly .It seems like in may some algae are ruining the shore so be aware .The hotel is situated strategic ,very close to the public transportation station ,close to the walking avenue ..you can enjoy the vacation atmosphere.Usually I see the full part of the glass ,so I enjoyed our staying.
I took my extended family to Playa del Carmen for a fun week. I booked 4 separate 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms suites at Anah Suites but were given 3 suites at Anah Downtown and 1 suite at Anah La Playa across the street. They were overbooked and our concierge, Daniel Jimenez, tried to accommodate us by offering to move us to the La Quinta by Anah on 5th Avenue & 40th, but we realized that the current location was actually the best since it was close to everything. Daniel was really accommodating and the staffs were really nice! The suites were offered at a good price for the money, however, it is close to a busy street. I let the rest of my family stay at the suites at Anah Downtown and we stayed in the suite at La Playa across the street. Our room was clean but one of the toilet wasn't flushing in 1 bathroom and the shower barely worked in the other bathroom. This was annoying at first, but wasn't a big deal since we spent most of our time outdoors doing activities. Be warned that nearby streets are constantly busy (noise all day and all night) and for our trip, the other guests were coming home at 3:00AM in the morning and making a lot of noise. Playa del Carmen is very close to Xcaret, Xplor, Xel-ha, Tulum and a lot of cenotes that were really fun to swim in. We will definitely do this again soon.
This booking was a scam. We try to check in and they doubled our cost at front desk. Mandatory cost per person and per night for breakfast, for open bar, and for the pool. It’s raining, the pool is not usable. I’ve been sober for 6 years, and they wouldn’t change any thing. This cost was not disclosed prior to booking…. I triple checked all info with front desk and showed everything to them. I wouldn’t recommend to ever go here.

訪訪客用戶What a great place! The location is excellent. It is right on the main square. The hotel is close to 5th Avenue but it is far enough away so not to hear it. The receptionist, Rocio, was extremely helpful. She even helped us with our bags. Lucas was also very helpful. Super people. We will definitely come back.
RRobson IzaiasUm bom hotel em uma ótima localização, terceira vez que hospedo no Illusion, porém dessa vez caiu um pouco o nível! Mas não deixa de ser uma boa opção custo benefício. Localização fantástica.
