There is no staff after 5pm, so the lobby is empty and no real security. Anyone could walk into the hotel and no filter to stop non guests.
It was ok for a couple of nights.
We had a great stay at Calixta! As others have mentioned, the included breakfast is pretty lacklustre but the fruit was fresh and delicious and the staff were lovely. The additional charge breakfast was great and is pretty affordable. My partner and I shared an order whenever we opted to buy breakfast as the portions are very fair. Check in was easy despite us arriving during an unstaffed hour. desk staff were lovely. Room was clean, air conditioning was great. Shower leaked and the water pressure was lacking but the water got nice and hot. Our balcony was very private! Pool was great and cleaned daily, however as others have mentioned, the pool AREA is not great. Ignore the photos with the chairs, it's just cushions on the ground that are in semi rough shape. Pool towels were usually available in the breakfast room. Area was super walkable. Construction happening on buildings next door but wasn't an issue at night. Street noise was pretty loud on some nights, not ideal for light sleepers. Noise machine was provided in the room. Overall, we thought this place was pretty solid!
Lovely comfortable hotel well positioned in the centre of Play Del Carmen. Staff were really friendly and ever so helpful. They really went the extra mile to help my brother when his wheelchair broke. Nice breakfast and kids loved the pool.

We enjoyed our stay. Can get a little noisy staff are very friendly and helpful
Falto mayor limpieza en nuestra habitación, pero el hotel es excelente, la atención de su personal en el Front Desk y en el Restaurante excedió nuestras expectativas.
Mención a parte para el personal de la cocina, Jose Luis siempre fue muy atento cada vez que fuimos a desayunar.
Nice room with balcony. Thermostat in the room enabled us to change the temp to our preference. Lots of vegan/vegetarian restaurants within walking distance, and it’s very close to the beach, the ferry dock and the bus terminal.
Rooftop pool is smaller than expected. The exhaust fan in the bathroom always turns on when the light for the toilet is on, so it’s noisy when we use the toilet at night. The free breakfast is below average: some fruit, toast, and a small omelette. We had it only once and skipped it the rest of the trip and opted to eat out instead. No microwave in the whole building.
The staff at this hotel are very friendly and caring.The breakfast was great. Our room was clean.We wished they had a humidifier and a fridge in the room and a laundry machine in the facility.Other than that, it was perfect for our family, and we want to come back again.
El hotel está muy bonito y muy cercas de la 5ta y lugares convenientes como farmacias. El personal del lugar es muy amable y en recepción son muy agradables. El único detalle es que no tiene estacionamiento pero a un lado hay uno donde pagas de acuerdo al tiempo.
