Serenity Hotel Boutique by Alsol

The pool bar was generally unstaffed, no idea if there was food available up there as well. The restaurant staff completely ignored us when we walked in, so we left. When we checked in, I was told breakfast was not included with our stay (even tho I had purchased a stay with breakfast) and I was urged to pay separately for that, I declined and then was told that ‘they forgot, and breakfast was included’. This property has lots of potential but the staff seem unhappy to be there and the attempt to scam upon check in was disheartening.

Very poor customer service! The Expedia add says breakfast included but they would not give it to us even after I gave them the internet post! Hotel under construction and constant jack hammering!

Great stay in Playa Del Carmen. This hotel was close to 5th Ave and quiet and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Muy buen servicio en general

Excellent

This is on the edge of the developed North side for that reason it's quite other than Friday nights when there's a club night at the roof. If you arrive Friday you'll hear it even blocks away but you would be so tired anyway it's ok. Rest of the time is quiet and lovely as it's not as much traffic. Super convenient wirh Selecto super market close by and a very nice bakery right across the street. Calle 38 was also by far the easiest to walk up and down between 5th and the local hub 30th for a real authentic experience. If you want do the beach club they are associated with Martina beach club so you don't have to pay for the chair. Only credits for drinks and food. The hotel also gives you beach towels if you want to just go to the beach. Which is super convienient with public access again on 38th. Just grab a towel and head down after 2 as there's large shade by the entrance left and you don't need to rent umbrella. Also at the entrance is an OXXO so you just need to buy a cooler bag to keep your drinks cold. Note about playa. At the ado station you'll pay about 150 peso for taxi. Or use the radio PDC app. But you'll have to go a block away and put in an address of where you are to get pick up as it isn't allow to pick up at the main roads. It's 75pesos instead to travel between ado station to this hotel. Over we like the hotel because it was quiet. It's a bit far if you want to be in the center of the action but we didn't care to do that much

We got one that’s set up like a one bedroom. Kitchenette, nice dining table and sofa in one space separated from bedroom and bathroom.Clean and quiet. Nice staffs.Don’t expect wonderful views outside of balcony, you’re in the “city”,just get a higher floor. We checked out the roof top pool. A very nice set up, if you like to hang by the pool it’s for you. We paid a fee to hotel to use the Martina Beach Club. Worth it !

I've stayed at this wonderful hotel a few times now, and it never disappoints. The front desk staff is always amazing and incredibly helpful. The suites are clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited to our needs. One of the highlights is the rooftop pool—it’s absolutely lovely and offers stunning views of the city, including a partial view of the ocean. The location is also perfect—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by fantastic restaurants and shops, only a block away from 5th Avenue. Highly recommended!

Very clean and great location. Staff was superb and bed was comfy. we enjoyed afternoons in the pool before getting ready for dinner and a stroll on 5th. Negative- the generator needa to be vented. Fumes come up from the basement/parking garage. We wouod definitely stay here again!

Quiet but close two blocks from 38th street, nicest street in all of Playa. Great friendly service. Very large and comfortable apartment. Looks like photos. Seven minute walk to beach.
