We looked at more than 30 hotels on the net and decided for this one. We wooried when we learned a week before check-inn that our rooms selection was no possible. But we were offered a nice alternative and have had a great 4 nights stay. Rooms 303-305 are quit with good seaview and 201 and 218 perfect seafront views... More

It's small, quaint and quiet. It's easy, just a few blocks from the bus station and right off the down town 5th avenue area. If you're not looking for big fancy places and want convenience and ease. This is it. Inexpensive too. One draw back is the constant "bump, bump, bump", from the local club/s nightlife. That can drive you... More

I loved this place 15 years ago when I stayed here, which is why I made reservations to stay there again on a recent trip. I reserved their best room, an ocean front room, at a discounted price on Expedia and noted in the reservation that I would be a late arrival. Unfortunately, the night clerk had no record of... More

direct at nice beach, rooms are ok and clean, no high-end hotel but everything needed was available: safe, small fridge, A/C, TV (for those who need it), during the night you can hear a little bit the entertainment in the neighborhood, nice view to Isla Cozumel if you book OCEAN VIEW. 1 min-walk to pedestrian zone where you find many...

This was my third time staying at the Pelicano Inn. It is very well-priced, right on the beach, in the middle of downtown Playa Del Carmen. The location is ideal! Steps to everything you could possibly want.....shopping, restaurants, bars, clubs, and the beach and beautiful ocean of course! I always get an oceanfront room that has a gorgeous view of... More

The Pelicano Inn is in a great location and the rooms are well priced for being on the beach. They are not luxurious, but they have a bed, a bathroom with hot water and a small refridgerator. The staff, especially Luis, were always friendly and helpful. We had to change rooms a few times and he helped us with our... More

Have been staying at the Pelicano Inn for over ten years. I think it is the best deal in town. Sure, it might need some attention paid to some areas, but I go for the sun, food and the beach. I can get along without some things in order to enjoy what the hotel offers. Here are my thoughts................ If... More

We stayed at the Pelicano Inn for our 25th wedding anniversary. I had stayed here before and the view was/is beautiful. Granted, the view from our ocean view suite was fantastic, but I think the mattress and towels are from my previous stay 6 years ago. I was somewhat disappointed. We also had no bottled water in the room and... More

Quick Overview... All in all this was my Worst experience in Playa del Carmen. I'm not a picky person when it comes to hotels in Playa del Carmen. We look for location, clean, affordable, and relaxing. We do not stay all-inclusive and prefer the smaller boutique hotels. This hotel has a wonderful location but needs extensive updates and maintenance. I... More
