Not A Relaxing Stay
The hotel is lovely and the staff was nice, but it was not a good experience. My room was unpleasant. My bathroom (toilet) didn’t work. There was also a problem on arrival. I had a terrible time finding the place because the hotels.com listing had no proper address. The cab driver who has worked here for decades had never heard of this tiny place. I ended up dropped me a mile away (where the dot on google maps was) after midnight and a long day of travel. Addresses are strangely nonspecific in Playa, but one would think the management could make sure their address showed correctly on Google and Apple maps. It was a pain.

The concept of the hotel is very unique and special! There’s so much peace around and the service and concept of the breakfast is fantastic! If you are looking to connect with nature this is definitely the place to stay. The only thing is that the front desk staff should be a little bit more friendly and warm so it could match the concept of the hotel

I stayed at this property in September without knowing a thing about it. After that 1st night I was so pleased with the staff and hotel itself that it was my 1st selection when I returned to Playa Del Carmen in December. Privately owned with the owner on site and very closely located to all the shopping and beach action you could want but on a very quiet and safe side street so you can sleep. Breakfast is a must here. It’s in the back of the courtyard and all kinds of wildlife come to visit each morning. AAA

Must Stay Truly Boutique Hotel with Personal Touch
Location 4/5: near 5th ave. its a sanctuary in a middle of a busy tourist town. They have a Junge at the back with wild animals. Only to see, no access. Beach 2/5: No Access. Public crowded beach 5 minutes walk.Seaweed everywhere. Services 5/5: Great! super helpful, friendly, free beer. One thing: I asked to provide a picture of a character to surprise my partner in a room but it wasnt done. AC, WIFI included. No Fridge but they can store your beer or anything else in a fridge at the kitchen. Free bicycles and free beach towels! No TV - its great! They provide purified water for safe drinking. Food 5/5: Breakfast included and great! Cooked personally! Not a buffet! Condition 5/5: truly rustic. Rooms are unique! Parking 4/5: 3 spots for 9 rooms. Might be busy but we were lucky to have it all the time. Will Be BACK!

A great little gem
La Semilla is a great little hotel. Having breakfast in their serene garden garden/ lounge area was the best part of our stay and if you are going to Playa Del Carmen, this is the place to stay! Only unfortunate that such a gem is located in Playa del Carmen as I don’t think Playa del Carmen in itself really has anything going for it. Nor beaches, restaurants or a good vibe.

Hotel La Semilla will change the way you travel!
Hotel La Semilla is a 9-room hotel in a perfectly non-touristy section of Playa Del Carmen. You can easily walk to the main tourist drag, but you could also spend a week not even knowing it was there. Hotel La Semilla is surrounded by wonderful restaurants and just up the street from a beautiful beach. The hotel itself is decorated stunningly in vintage items hand sourced by the owners, who handle most of the day-to-day operations of the spot. They do get help from Brito, who is an absolutely fabulous jack-of-all trades. Gabriel, the chef, makes beautiful breakfast creations that are the highlight of any morning spent in the beautiful courtyard. Hotel La Semilla is a perfect oasis in Mexico. Traditionally I've been an all inclusive type person, but my wife convinced me that we should give this place a shot. I'm so glad that we did -- it completely changed what I am looking for in future travel. Do yourself a favor and visit Hotel La Semilla -- it's a beautiful property in a beautiful area run by beautiful people!

Cute and overpriced!
A very sweet family who are clearly proud of their creation but it's way over priced for what it is. Their eclectic style is unique but their vintage chairs etc are no longer cute but uncomfortable and some even have gone beyond a little dirty so it may be time for a little upgrading furniture or pricing down. If you do choose to book, then be warned that the ground floor room stinks of terrible damp to the point where we had to move and if they hadnt moved us, we were happy to lose our deposit and move to another hotel all together. Very limited breakfast choices.
