You can tell back in the days it's was a great Hotel but besides the staffing been nice and attentive. I won't actually atay that hotel again. You got be aware the have very limited to none parking and outside the local police are looking to give you a parking ticket (and none give you coins for your bills). One night we didn't have water. And I believe that place is overrated on the price of you compared to any Airbnb nearby.

**Soho Playa Hotel Review** Our experience at Soho Playa had several disappointing aspects. When we first arrived, there was no electricity. We had to wait in the heat, which was frustrating since all I wanted was to rest after our journey. The hotel is conveniently located just a few blocks from the beach, about a 5-minute walk, so we decided to head there. I’m not sure when the power was restored since we returned to the hotel around 8 p.m. that evening. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was for the pool, but it was rarely clean. The hotel advertised a sky bar by the pool, which was nonexistent. During our 9-day stay, the pool was only cleaned twice, and that was because I specifically requested it. The worst experience happened on our last day. The fire alarms went off, and my son and I were terrified. The hallways were filled with thick fog, making it hard to see or breathe. We rushed out of the room, unsure of what was happening. The hotel administrator approached us and explained that they were fumigating and asked us to return to our room. However, the smoke had already started entering our room, so we had to leave and go outside to get fresh air. Although the staff apologized and admitted the fumigation was handled poorly, the situation was still unacceptable. The overuse of spray caused a lot of unnecessary panic for us and other guests. I understand mistakes happen, better management and communication could have avoid this kind of situation.

We have stayed here before and it was amazing, this time was was totally different! The pool was broken the entire time after asking about it for 2 day I was “promised” my the manager that it would be fixed in 2 hours needless to say it was never fixed. The maintenance man explained that the previous maintenance man quit and didn’t tell them it had broken. I explained that the manager should have never promised that it would be fixed in 2 hours if that was the case. I could have stayed at another hotel with a working pool. Then the jets in the hot tub were broken. We also lost water at one point. I understand that the hotel is under new management but until they get things fix I wouldn’t stay there again. They did offer any kind of compensation, I mean it is the end of July and almost 100 degrees and no pool!

We were looking for a new travel experience, far away from the all inclusive packages. This hotel was a pearl not luxury, but well maintained. Well located, close to the playa del Carmen downtown, 1 minute walk to 5th avenue. New staff of the hotel was very kind. We didn't try the breakfast, because we wanted to enjoy the typical food at restaurants, so I don't have any comment on this. The roof pool was refreshing, specially after a full day walking at 5th av. Also, beach is a 10 minutes walk. We arrived to playa del Carmen taking the ADO bus on terminal 2 of Cancun airport, it was cheaper than taking a taxi, once in playa del carmen we walked (20 minutes from turistic ADO terminal) to get to the hotel. We booked a all inclusive to Xel-ha and xelha bus picked up and dropped us at the end of the day at Plaza las Perlas (10 minutes walk). If you are looking for a more freedom trip, this is the perfect hotel. There is a construction next to the hotel, so during day, you can hear some bangs at your room, but this is normal and completely out of control of the hotel administration. If you want to try a new travel experience this is the right hotel for you ;)

El desayuno en si creo que podria mejorar. La chica de la mañana no tenia muy buena actitud. No nos dio informacion de como funcionaba el desayuno, lo cual lo hizo confuso ya que es en un establecimiento al lado. Ademas, al hacer checkout en vez de preguntarnos como estuvo todo o agradecernos por la estancia la chica solo me hizo firmar un papel de que no habiamos olvidado nada, se me hizo un poco agresivo. El joven del turno de la noche bien. El hotel esta muy bien ubicado, cuando llegamos ya no habia estacionamiento disponible pero el parquimetro no es caro.

The property was in a great location. The property was not represented accurately on the Expedia website. There is no bar on the roof open (although the pool is very nice), nor was there yoga every morning. Breakfast was just fine but doesn't open until 9. 3 of the days we were there we couldn’t take advantage of the free breakfast because we had to leave before food was available. Rooms were clean and pleasant.

Nice hotel but terrible construction nearby
Unfortunately our stay was less than ideal mostly because of the construction of the building directly beside the hotel. Starting at 7:30am everyday there was constant and very loud banging and hammering. The rooftop pool was also clearly unused and dirty due to the construction directly beside it with building materials falling into the pool. The rooftop bar also was not open probably for the same reason. Beyond all of that, the actual room was nice and relatively clean. We did lose hot water at one point and running water entirely at another. Both of which were remedied relatively quickly. I would stay here again once the construction beside us completed, but definitely would not while that is still ongoing.

This place was okay, however, I felt like it was lacking in some areas. The location was ok, not far from 5th Avenue, but almost a mile from the autobús ADO. The room had the basic, it was a room with a king size bed and only 1 chair but plenty of room for another chair or a couch. The tv remote did not actually turn the tv on/off, it just worked to turn on their streaming service “totalplay” I never did learn to use it and all the channels were in Spanish and did not catch my attention. It was nice that they decorated my room for my bday and there was a bottle of wine (Don Simon- about $7usd price) since I booked a VIP Premium deal. We needed ice to ice a swollen knee and the hotel did not have ice. The room also did not have a hair dryer, we had to request one and pick up from the front desk. Same with the towels, they only have us 2 and we wanted a third to use for the ice we bought from 7-11. The breakfast hours are from 9-11am (I think that’s late) so we requested to pick up early. It consisted of toast with butter and syrup (not jelly), a cup of fruit (papaya and cantaloupe) that was kinda of mushy, and a small bottle of water. The breakfast was definitely disappointing. I requested a late check-out since my flight was at 7pm and was told it would be $40. I told them I would be leaving by 2:30pm and then was told $20-I felt that charge could’ve been excused for an Exp Gold member and since the construction from next door woke me up two days. I would not stay here again.
