“Under New/Original Management”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Colibri suffered greatly under close to a decade of French regime. After a grueling legal battle, it is now back in the hands of its original, charismatic German owners. These people have lived and breathed Playa del Carmen for over 15 years and have reclaimed Hotel Colibri to bring spirit and personality back into the haven. The location is right if you are there to experience the eclectic and vivacious destination that is Playa del Carmen. On the beach, humble, convenient, affordable and FRIENDLY.

Room Tip: Get a "cabana"...

“Perfect location and price”

We stayed at the Colibri May, 2011 and loved being able to walk right out the front onto the beach!! The rooms were clean, brightly painted, air conditioned and even had small refrigerators in them. Loved being able to wake up each morning and lay in the hammock on the balcony and read so that I did not bother my husband still sleeping in a dark room.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone always seemed happy to do their jobs.

We are going back again to Playa this May and we will be staying there again.

“Love the Colibri”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We have stayed there a few times over the years. It's the best deal on the beach! Nothing fancy, but the location is wonderful, the staff is helpful, and it's clean and comfortable. It's right next to what used to be the last "shacks on the beach" type of accomadation in Playa and is now a pretty big condo! I asked Jose at Colibri and he said the developer wanted to buy the Colibri too, but the owner wouldn't budge-good for him, and for especially for us!!!

Room Tip: Ask for an A room-not much more than the B rooms and totally worth it.

“Not Pleased”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked on www.hotel.com with our credit card to ensure we had at least 3 nights accommodations for the weekend and when we arrived at the hotel they lost or did not receive our reservations. The hotel was clean, however not luxurious. It was a few steps away from the beach which was pleasant, however was set between 2 clubs that pounded music till early morning. The hotel manager was not helpful and wanted us to change to their other hotel across the street (2 nights later we found it to be empty with no lights and no way to enter) (glad we went elsewhere). They accommodated us for 1 night, however no internet access as promised and the screws on the patio door lock were falling off, which made us very nervous. Other difficulties, however I would only recommend this hotel for a 1 night stay when nothing else is available.
