The property was simple, but you walkout directly onto the beach. Right off of 5th Av so you can access everything quickly. It’s relatively quiet, so you go to the party and also leave the party. Beach Staff are absolutely amazing.

Hotel is very well situated one block from ADO Bus Station Only issue was with the beach club makesh the hotel does business with them beach loungers weren’t set early in case people want to enjoy beach early they were set up between 10-11 am We had an issue we took an empty lounge chair and we were told that it was reserved we waited no one never came to claim it they just wanted to try and sell the lounge chair for the day. Politely they told us to f-off. We made a complaint to hotel and had a conversation with them few hours later they informed us that there was chairs available. Longer story short Hotel stood up for us and makesh beach club were arrogant. Special thanks to front desk and Julian maintenance guy always helpful

Unfortunately we had to leave the hotel 3 days early. The girl who was working the front desk said her bag was stolen just after we checked in. The website made the hotel look a lot nicer than it was. Our room had no hangers, glasses or a phone. I wouldn’t recommend it. And of course there are no refunds …

This hotel looks like a secluded beach bungalow but it’s right in the middle of all the business of play del Carmen. Parking is non existent unless you find a parking lot somewhere around the area. The room is small and the bed takes up the majority of the space. There is AC. The water from the faucet tastes salty like ocean water. We found a hair on the bed when we checked in. The lighting in the hotel room felt like a hospital room. For the price of the room, which was over $400, it was definitely no worth it. They close off access to the beach at 6pm so you have to go outside the hotel to get on the beach after that time. Staff was nice but don’t I recommend this hotel.

Upon taking the 1-hour ADO bus from Cancun International Airport to Playa del Carmen, I arrived at Areia within 2 minutes of walking distance from the bus drop-off location. Besides beaching directly beachfront, this hotel is immediately surrounded by multiple avenues of shops, cafes, and eateries. I am so thankful that Areia gives access to the beach club accessible within a few feet by the pool and daily breakfast before 11am. My room had everything I needed as a solo traveler: nice bed with great bedding, large TV with pre-built Netflix and other streaming services, small safe, simple bathroom with towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/liquid soap, and a desk/chair. The pool is cute and small with beach beds ready to enjoy. The only thing that I'd say is that you're obviously in the middle of the tourist avenues so outdoor music may reverb during the weekends but not disturbingly so at all. Housekeeping service was done routinely. Upon checkin, you'd get a wristband - which gives you access to the beach club open morning till early evening. Just ask for a beach towel at the front desk. I am thankful for the staff that keeps this little gem clean and safe! I'll make sure to tell my friends about this hotel.

Beautiful ocean beach view as we paid extra for that type of room. The pool area and restaurant are also beautiful, couldn't ask for more there. Our room was at the far west corner of the property and where this review takes a hit. Very very noisy, as the sound from the park on the other side of the wall to the west comes right into the room, usually until 2am, as there are Mexican local buskers playing loud music and singing desperately for tips. There was no notice of our room being the noisy one, would definitely request any other beach front room, as the noise from the beach finishes much earlier, around 1130pm. AC worked but the fan was extremely weak and so it wasn't very effective. One of our bed lights was broken off the wall and hanging from the power cable. But this doesn't affect the review much as the ocean view really was spectacular. Not a complaint, as it's a reminder your far from home, but none of the staff speak English, so you'll need your phones translator handy for anything other than hi and bye. Breakfast doesn't start until 8am which is unfortunate as most day trips you have to already be at the shuttle for then, no reason not to start breakfast at a more reasonable 7am, as the days do start and finish early there. Perhaps this works in the hotel's favor, less takers. You get what you pay for and this was a 2000$ CDN 8 night stay, but the noise from the park was terribly inconvenient making rest limited for our eventful day trips.

Areia beach front hotel is the former Kinta Kan Hotel which has many reviews on google. Here’s my take on it: Pro: Location - Conveniently located near 5th Ave and walkable to almost everything ( Ferry to Cozumel/ Ado bus stop, restaurants, shopping etc.) Also the beachfront was gorgeous and hotel guests could use the beach chairs free of charge. The Cabañas came at a cost of 500 MXN per person minimum spend on food and drinks. The pool area was nicely maintained and the bar staff were extremely friendly. Cons - The hotel is quite old. We didn’t have a fridge in our room and the bathroom smelled like mold. The water pressure in the shower was extremely poor and the temperature inconsistent. The breakfast options were limited to toast, beans and scrambled eggs. One day they had pancakes but otherwise that’s it. Accompanied by lukewarm coffee or orange juice. Luckily there are many food options close by and a coffee shop right on the corner.

This would be a fine place to stay for a night or two if you were paying $80/night. Not great, but serviceable for a short stop. However, this is ABSOLUTELY NOT A $200/ NIGHT HOTEL, which is what I was swindled out of for a 5 night stay. I stayed 1 out of the 5 nights and they refused a refund for even a portion of the time I cancelled my reservation. I spent over an hour going around and around with them. It was very loud, the pool is incredibly small and an odd yellow color, the shower head was broken and the water that did come out was warm for less than 10 min. There were drunk people yelling across the courtyard all night and you can hear every word that is said in the rooms on either side. The door to my room was flimsy with a lock that wasn’t fully operational. The “balcony” is not a balcony at all, but just a sliding door with a railing. The bar appears to be open very odd hours. Be warned- this hotel is nothing like the pictures and much more akin to a hostel I would have loved in my 20s, than the lush retreat they make it out to be. Unbelievably inflated prices, no comfort, and very loud. Save yourself the trouble and spend the extra $20/night to stay literally anywhere else.

This place didn’t have any reviews when I booked through Expedia. I was worried but decided to take a chance. The pictures of the property are accurate, but not the rooms. Our room had bugs and looked dirty. The door did not lock properly, which was a struggle. Additionally, there was no water when we arrived; it came on 40 minutes later and was very weak. I came with my two daughters, aged 14 and 24. Our rooms were near the beach, bar, and male washroom, which made me feel unsafe. There were just too many problems upon arrival, so I decided to leave! Overall, my experience at this hotel was very disappointing. I had high hopes, but the lack of cleanliness, safety concerns, and inadequate amenities made it impossible for us to enjoy our stay. I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially families. It's important to prioritize safety and comfort, and unfortunately, this hotel fell short in both areas. I hope management takes these issues seriously to improve the experience for future guests. Also the hotel had a name change only, old name is Kinta Kan Hotel. Review aren’t good at all!
