We rented a 2 bedroom beach front unit using Air BnB. The property is a little strange. Great beach and pools...abandoned (crime scene tape wrapped) restaurant and numerous foundations that were never built on. The road from town is VERY rough! But if you can secure a good unit (#57 is lovely) and have a car to go to town for meals....its a good spot. Most folks who own are Canadian. 

This is NO LONGER a hotel! Privately owned units & Air BnB

Arrived at night & left next morning. Did not go to reception area or the beach. The condo I stayed in had two bedrooms that were accessible, but I couldn't make the air conditioning work in either. The refrigerator was dirty. Other rooms were locked.

Pool area is pretty

Playa Maya is about 10 kms out of town on a very bad dirt road so once you're there you probably won't want to go far. It is a strange combination of resident villas and hotel rooms. Our "villa" had a full kitchen, living area and two bedrooms. There was no security box, the front door locked with a padlock and the back door did not lock at all The property is right on the beach and has a good pool. The grounds are well landscaped and maintained. The margaritas here were the smallest and most expensive we had in 3 weeks in the Yucatan!!

Beautiful setting

We own a self renovated villa here and we love it..... Great beach, no crowds.

Aaaand that's where the "good" part stops unfortunately.

The "hotel" part of this outfit is nothing short of abysmal. All the rental villas are seriously neglected and I cannot in all good faith recommend that ANYONE stays here as a hotel guest.

The rental villas are filthy and dilapidated. They have almost nothing in terms of normal items one would assume they would find in a tropical paradise location,..... Good luck finding a coffee maker that works (even better luck surviving the coffee if you actually get to make one). A toaster, if you can find one of those too, would be well at home back in the 70's. Cutlery and crockery are "optional" it seems...... As is clean linen..... Or any linen at all for that matter.

Most of the fans, fridges, air conditioners, lights, etc, etc do not work and are not maintained or cleaned. 

The "showpiece Palapa" as the central area of the resort has a roof that needed replacing 5++ years ago,..... It is ratty, falling apart and full of holes. Promises of imminent repairs keep getting made and then broken.

The "on site restaurant" (if you could call it that) seems to have a major problem with piling up their garbage right next to where food is cooked..... It's not good. Eat at own risk.

Now,..... That said,..... One CAN buy a villa here very cheaply and fix it up for personal use..... Which is what many here have done and that works very nicely for those that accept the "other" issues, are self sufficient and just love the location.

As far as a "hotel" goes,...... Look elsewhere.

Guests looking to stay in the area should just take a giant step up in class and quality by booking at Xixim eco resort just 3 klm further up the road instead.

The hotel part of this establishment is a total dump.

The place has been a disaster for 10 years at least. It caters to owners paying guests qualify as pigeons only. We battled ants & gecos day & night. The pool has never worked properly. The utilities work sometimes. The on site staff are polite but less than enthusiastic.

Don't Go there

We went to Playa Maya and to Xixim next door, the contrast in our reception couldn’t be starker!  And the place is manage by a very aggressive Canadian!

This is not really a hotel since all units have a full kitchen, it’s air conditioned but very dated...considering it’s not that old.  

Frankly I don’t get this place it charges by the number of guests. And it’s not cheap either.  The bar and restaurant were very depressing.  There is a nice reading room but really the management leaves a lot to be desired — reminds me of Faulty Towers!

Beach is lovely...everything else not so much

Nice quiet setting, but terribly mismanaged and overpriced!  Long drive on very rough road to get to this property.  Run Down... In dire need of detailed maintenance (see pics), especially pool area... Biting aquatic bugs?  Restaurant lacks menu variety and very average quality... Bars inoperative?  Dock and pool chairs covered with bird poop?  Minimal provisions in rooms,  Lots of brown palm trees?  Trash on beach.  Could be nice, but management seems to have very low standards?  Dirty town offers Flamingo Tours, but little else.  Keep looking...

Save Your Money...

Thoroughly enjoyed stay here past 2 years in March. The location is superb. No crowds on the beach or pools. You can walk for miles without meeting anyone on the beach. Bird watching opportunities are amazing. Would help a lot if we were fluent in Spanish which we are not. Nonetheless we could communicate and have our needs met without problems. Touring the area was enjoyable with a lighthouse,pyramids, abandoned haciendas. So much to see in this area. The restaurant is great with good service.

Awesome

Personally I would not recommend this hotel to anyone... the only thing decent is the beach . The room we had was badly maintained and dirty ..The food in the restaurant had really gone down in quality  and service  A C didnt work . Service being non existant for the hotel 
We arrived and there was no gas for the heater...screens where missing . Lots of staff sitting around and not doing anything .. then when you wanted something there was no staff ..

badly maintained

very complicated to get to it, there is no bar, no restaurant. staff completely inadequate. We found it very expensive for the non-existing amenities. I would ask for my money back! a half of the pool is closed and dirty. Wifi did not work
