Guest Reviews
- Alistair (10/5): - A very well run B and B with a very nice and kind owner. Lovely breakfast, a little pool to cool off,comfortable beds, everything worked - all good. The wi-fi was a little spotty though.
- maria (10/5): - la anfitriona es encantadora
- Diogo (8/5): Uma boa opção com mais tranquilidade e conforto - Uma boa estada. Atendimento excelente pela anfitriã. O quarto é bem grande e a cama sensacional!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bon séjour - C’était propre et mignon, la chambre était spacieuse, mais il y avait aucune insonorisation. Le petit dej tout les matins est frais et très bon.
- JOSE LUIS (10/5): - La habitación muy limpia, y el desayuno increíble para un bnb
- Andreas Lothar (10/5): Thank you very much for the great Stay! - Super Hotel!
Very very great Host.
- Arturo (10/5): - Todo estuvo excelente. Roberta cuida cada detalle para que tú hospedaje en Vainilla sea único.
- Claudia (10/5): - Vainilla is a true gem! The staff is top-notch, friendly, and treated us like family. Roberta, the owner, tracked our arrival which was greatly appreciated. Her breakfasts were incredibly delicious; each was homemade and served warm daily. Our favorite was jamaica jam and freshly-made prickly pear juice.
As for the living quarters: stunning! They were huge rooms with bathrooms and plenty of closet space. Ana, the housekeeper, was wonderful and incredibly meticulous. Our room was kept spotless.
Playa's beaches are a short walk away. We had no problem getting lounge chairs through an arrangement with Mamitas Beach Club, and we got to enjoy the clean sparkling pool after a long hot day.
We really can't say enough about this bed and breakfast. We were sad to be unable to cancel our reservation at a separate hotel, for we would have enjoyed extending our stay here.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, if you are coming to Playa Del Carmen.
Thank you, Vainilla, for an unforgettable stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Special place - It is a special place, small, very confortable and familiar.Roberta, the owner, is really kind.
the breakfast for vegeratian people is really nice.
we came back during the same tryp.
- Monica (10/5): - The place was very colorful inside and out. Roberta was great! She contacted me to see about my arrival plans and she made sure my husband and I had what we needed. She gave great suggestions for where to eat, what to do and she made sure we had a taxi when we needed it. She made a fabulous fresh breakfast with fresh juice, fruit, eggs, toast and danishes along with a scrumptious marmalade. I would definitely return if I'm back in the area.
- Audrey (8/5): - Tres grande chambre et propre. Très bien équipé frigo, plaques, couverts, etc....
Accueil au top une italienne très sympathique tient les lieux prépare des petits déjeuners maison.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super séjour ! Merci pour tout ! Excellent petit déjeuner quartier calme. Une hote géniale
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This B&B is quite basic, but definitely worth considering and a good value for the price. The style and decoration of the rooms and the patio eating area are very charming, with bright colors and local art. My room was incredibly clean, in contention for the cleanest room I have ever stayed in.
- Elsa (10/5): - Overall excellent! Great value for your money! Roberta, the hostess is extraordinary, super friendly and kind, she made us feel like at home. Her recommendations were always great. Vainilla B&B exceeded our expectations! Breakfast was excellent, home made bread and jams and fresh fruit and juices, phenomenal! We loved it and we would stay there again without a doubt! We took the two front rooms, and stayed there with 3 little kids. Bedrooms were spacious and clean, it was quiet at night, and we felt safe all the time.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing hospitality - This place was super cute with lots of bright furniture and art everywhere. The host Roberta being the outstanding part......so helpful with everything, including booking us Taxis and telling us about local hot spots.
- Marieva (8/5): - Charmant petit B&B à l'écart de la jungle touristique. Grande chambre avec cuisinette. Service excellent.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Maravilloso Bed and Breakfast - Vainilla no le pide nada a los hoteles de lujo. Sus habitaciones son amplias, cómodas, incluso hay unas que tienen refrigerador y cocineta con los utensilios básicos para prepararse algo. El desayuno que sirven es tipo europeo (fruta, jugo, pan y café), pero es suficiente para empezar el día. En primera instancia, la zona en la que se encuentra no da mucha confianza, pero la verdad es que es muy seguro. Tanto que dejé el auto estacionado afuera y no hubo problema alguno. El único pero que le pondría es que se oyen todos los ruidos de la calle, y si eres de sueño ligero puede que te despiertes a cada rato. Fuera de eso, es un lugar ampliamemte recomendable.
- Miriam (10/5): Wunderbares B&B zum Entspannen - Zuerst: Der Check In erfolgte aufgrund von Verspätung unseres Fliegers mitten in der Nacht! Roberta, die Besitzerin, war trotz später Stunde mehr als zuvorkommend. Am folgenden Morgen würde dann entspannt alles Weitere geregelt und wir bekamen noch tolle Tipps zum Essen in der Umgebung sowie eine Karte. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig, was man dem Haus von außen nicht ansieht. Inbegriffen waren eine tolle Klimaanlage und ein gemütliches Badezimmer sowie ein kuscheliges Bett. Auch war das Zimmer liebevoll eingerichtet. Jeden Morgen gab es frischen Obstsalat, Toast, Butter, hausgemachte Marmelade, selbstgebackenen Kuchen und erfrischenden, selbstgemachten Fruchtsaft. Der Frühstücksbereich liegt im Freien unter einem Dach aus Blättern, eine grüne Oase mitten in der Stadt. Das B&B war so gelegen, dass man alle wichtigen Punkte wie Strand, 5. Avenida und tolle Restaurants innerhalb von 5-15 Gehminuten erreichen konnte. Zudem konnten wir den Kühlschrank in der Küche mitbenutzen, sodass Abends nach ereignisreichen Tagen immer kalte Getränke zu haben waren, die man bequem in den umliegenden Supermärkten bekommen konnte. Auch der man Haus gelegene Pool war prima für eine Erfrischung. Aufgrund der tollen Lage, der exzellenten Gastfreundschaft und tollen Tips von Roberta empfehle ich dieses Hotel ohne Einschränkung!
- Alexandra (10/5): Home away from Home! - My Fiancé and I loved Vainilla B&B. We recommend to everyone. Roberta is amazing and very friendly. We loved getting to know her! She really takes the time to make sure her guests are happy and comfortable. The rooms and decor are beautiful! She also recommended great attractions and restaurants!
- Michel (10/5): El mejor hotel de Playa del Carmen - Un hotel maravilloso, vale cada peso; la habitación es amplia, cómoda, cuenta con utensilios de cocina, parrilla, refrigerador y todo para hacer más práctica y amena la estancia.
Roberta es una excelente anfitriona que te explica de manera amable las mejores actividades por realizar y atractivos por visitar en Playa del Carmen.
- Sophie (10/5): Suberb - Don’t miss this wonderful b&b. Superb hospitality, great rooms & good breakfast. Only 10min walk from the beach.
Will make sure to stay here again.
- Kathryn (10/5): Hidden gem away from the tourist area - We loved our stay at Vainilla Bed & Breakfast! The best part of our stay was the host, Roberta. She was very helpful and took the time to chat with us and gave us a lot of good information. The bathroom was a bit small, but the main room was very spacious. Our room had a/c, but we didn't use it...we found the fan was enough. We really enjoyed breakfast in the morning as well, especially the homemade cakes each day. It's away from the main tourist area which we liked as it felt more authentic but we could still walk there. For us, the personal touch was what made it most enjoyable.
- Sion (10/5): Great stay with a great Host - We were extremely pleased with our stay. Roberta was an excellent hostess. She made sure we knew how to get to the property in advance and stayed up late to welcome us. She was very helpful with all questions and responsive for any issues (the shower head was a bit cracked - 5 minutes later she had fixed it :)) The breakfast which Roberta prepares is all homecooked and very enjoyable (changing everyday). The room was large with plenty of space and a good functional kitchen area. We didn't use the pool but it did look clean and the beach was about 15minutes away. Overall a very good stay and we would recommend and happily return.
- Helena (10/5): Feels like you are at home - we stayed for a week for our anniversary in Playa Del Carmen. It was perfect location to go to tulum, cenotes, xplor and close to the 5th ave and the beach. The host, Roberta was awesome! She is very nice and helpful, and her place was great! It was decorated so pretty and always clean. She served breakfast with fresh fruits and smoothies, homemade jam and bread, very delicious!
We felt safe staying her place, feels like you are at home.
We would love to go back and stay at her place again.
- antonella (10/5): divino, muy limpio y desayuno riquisimo. - El lugar es muy lindo y calido, la verdad que Roberta, su dueña, te hace sentir como en casa. Todos los dias prepara unos desayunos riquisimos y super sanos.-El lugar es muy lindo, super limpio y tiene todas las comodidades que se necesitan y es tal cual surge de las fotos de la pagina.Las habitaciones a decir verdad son grandes como un loft
La pileta es super cristalina y limpia, como todo. Nosotros alquilamos auto para poder a todas las playas que stan mas lejos, pero si quieres ir a la publica que esta mas cerca son solo 5 cuadras,.-Asimismo caminando hay varios lugares para ir a comer. Super recomendable y ojala podamos regresar.Asimismo Roberta te da todos los tips de los lugares a visitar y a cueles no ir.-
- Verified traveler (10/5): Oase in the city - Ein schöner Rückzugsort in der lebhaften Stadt. Sehr nette Gastgeber, gute Ratschläge, leckeres Frühstück.
- Élodie (8/5): Petit déjeuner typique - Roberta est sympathique. L'établissement est bien décoré dans le style mexicain. Le petit déjeuner typique fait maison est très bon. On peut se garer près de l'entrée gratuitement.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great service and very clean B&B - Great service from our host Roberta, would definitely come back.
- francis (10/5): This it's the perfect place to stay - The perfect place to stay if you are doing any activities with all inclusive
- Verified traveler (10/5): Limpio,comodo y buena relacion calidad precio - Todo de 10!!
- Marion (10/5): Parfait B&B, calme et proche du centre de Playa ! - Nous avons séjourné 7 nuits au vainilla. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Roberta.
La chambre était spacieuse, propre. Il y avait un sèche cheveux et un fer à repasser disponibles. Ménage fait tous les jours avec changement des serviettes de bain.
Le petit déjeuner est servi à 8 heures, il est copieux et très savoureux (assiette de fruits frais, jus frais, boisson chaude, gâteau maison et pain grillé avec confiture réalisée par Roberta).
Piscine propre.
Le centre ville de Playa, ainsi que la plage sont à 10 minutes à pieds. Nous avons plongé avec un club qui se trouve également à 10 minutes à pieds : O2 Mexico : club très secure, moniteurs au top, matériel en bon état, bonne ambiance, mais surtout club de taille humaine avec palanquées de 4 plongeurs max et qui s'adapte en fonction de nos désirs (plongee en mer à cozumel, Playa, Puerto morelos, akumal / cenotes...)
- RICHARD JOHN (10/5): Great value in a bed and breakfast - The host, Roberta, is especially good, and very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): I recommend this hotel - the room is comfortable, clean and cute. the breakfast is healthy and delicious. only the shower was not hot water. this was 1 bad thing but others are good
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful guest house with friendly host - Favourite place that we stayed in Mexico, largely due to Roberta being such an excellent host. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with modern colourful decor.
Delicious homemade breakfast - our favourite part was the homemade marmalade.
- Tom (10/5): A perfect gem in Playa - We loved our stay at Vainilla!
You can really feel Roberta's care and professionalism - the place looks fantastic, and her explanations made us utilize our short stay to the finest.
Will definitely recommend to stay here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Ce petit hôtel atypique à souhait a une âme! - Roberta se plie en quatre pour ses hôtes. Chaque matin un excellent jus de fruits frais ainsi qu'un gateau maison tout juste sorti du four. Elle est d'une gentillesse extrême, attentive à tout ce que l'on peut dire dans une conversation et sans même l'avoir demandé, elle y pensera. Elle nous a donné d'excellents conseils, resto, plages alentours. La décoration est superbe, pétillante comme elle. Définitivement ce petit hôtel paisible de quatre chambre a une âme! Et pour les futurs chanceux qui s'y rendront dans quelques temps, une piscine est en construction derriere la maison. A noter aussi que c'est très, très calme.
- pauline (10/5): Quiet hotel with charming hostess. - Nice to get away from the hustle of Playa del Carmen at this charming, peaceful B and B. Roberta, the owner, was so helpful and made us a lovely breakfast every morning with home made jams, juices and cakes.
- Hannah (10/5): Amazing BnB - Beautiful room, delicious healthy homemade breakfasts and a great location with a local feel. Only a ten minute walk to the beach.
- allen (10/5): awsome place to stay - this was the first time I stayed at a foreign country bed and breakfast. I was very impressed with the owners friendly hospitality and assistance for all our needs. her place is very clean and comfortable. we walked every day to 5th street ( 10 min ) and never felt insecure with the area. if you wanted to take a taxi back it was $3. my only issue is that it is not a big place that the taxi drivers know so it is a little hard to find the first time. but it is worth the search and we will defiantly stay here again the next time we are down. it is a block and a half off of 34 and 35n 3 story multi colored.
- YEONJIN (8/5): 대단히 청결함. - 청결하고 영어 의사소통이 확실함.조식은 수제 케잌과 잼, 제철과일로 제공됨. 공동주방 사용가능.
위치도 중산층 거주지에 있어 안전함.
욕실 수압이 약한편인것이 유일한 단점이며, 가성비 좋음.
- Emma (10/5): A quieter side to Playa life - Spent 2 nights at this adorable b&b and loved it. A leisurely 15 min walk to 5th avenue and its neighbouring streets and beaches therefore giving you the access to the social life of Playa whilst also giving you some peace and quiet.
Roberta, the owner is absolutely lovely and always up for a chat or some tips on the area. Overall the place has a really homey feel and makes coming home from a big day of adventure that little bit sweeter.
- Petr and Tomas (10/5): Lovely peaceful place - We had a lovely time at Roberta's house. Getting into central Playa and Mamita's beach was easy (15 minutes), and also close to the supermarket and the local restaurant (Nativo was our favourite). The house itself is very cosy and Roberta was a really welcoming and attentive host. We would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a restful break and to wander around the local area or to use it as a base to explore Yucatan.
- Thomas (10/5): Bed and breakfast parfait !! - Nous sommes restés 2 nuits, tout etaient parfait !
Roberta est d'une gentillesse a tout épreuve, elle est toujours la quand il y a besoin, elle sera vous conseiller où manger à playa del carmen et où sortir, en plus elle fait des petits dejeuners excellent !!! Elle nous a meme accompagné a la gare routiere.
Allez y sans hesiter ! Vous ne serez pas deçu !
- Jess (8/5): Nice place to stay - My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. Roberta, who runs the place, is very lovely and was happy to tell us about places we should check out, things not to bother going to and great places to eat. She gave us a map and explained the entire region to us. She sent us down to Akumal Beach to swim with the turtles and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. She puts together a great fresh breakfast of fruit and toast for you ever day in the pretty garden courtyard she has. The only downside of the place was that it was probably a little far away from the centre of town. We didn't mind the walk the first couple of days, but when you have had a big day in the sun it can get tiresome. We were on a mega budget and were avoiding taxi's but they are everywhere and you can easily take them home for convenience instead.
- Victor (10/5): The best host I've had, period! - I had a truly, amazing experience at vanilla bed and breakfast. Roberta is a very nice woman with many years in the hospitality business. I really loved the room, and was impressed with the service she provided. I arrived at her place at 3 am and she welcomed me with a smile and a hug, making me feel like a family member she had not seen in years. She made a light but delicious breakfast every morning with tasty home made jams, perfect to start the day with. She appropriately answered every question I had and was a great person to spark a conversation with. All her suggestions were helpful and gave me the best advice on how to get around the city. The location is ideal for the type of traveler who wants to be away from the noise, but close enough to embody Playa del Carmen like the locals do. I can go on and on about my experience with Roberta at Vanilla B&B, but that would not leave much to the imagination. I highly recommend Vanilla B&B. You will not regret it.
- Fredi García (10/5): Excelente B&B, precio de acuerdo a lo obtenido. - Me encanto la recepción y atención que Roberta tuvo con mi esposa y conmigo, es una gran anfitriona. Recomiendo el B&B ya que es limpio, tiene una decoración muy bonita, aunque no está muy cerca de la 5ta avenida es muy fácil transportarse, uno de los días que estuvimos hospedados mi esposa y yo caminamos de la 5ta avenida al B&B sin problema alguno, hicimos algo así como 15 a 20 minutos. Además de la excelente recepción, Roberta da tips muy útiles de donde comer, como transportarse, etc. Recomiendo este B&B
