“Waaay too overpriced for what you get - deserves a low star rating”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011
8
people found this review helpful

I cannot emphasize this enough - do NOT let them give you the Deluxe rooms that face the street. The "Deluxe" rooms here are a total misnomer. These rooms are absolutely the tiniest rooms I've ever seen, and there is NO view of the beautiful pool or the beach (as the photos on Travelocity or Orbitz would lead you to believe).

I've been traveling to Playa 2-3 times a year for the past 4 years, and I usually stay at the Blue Parrot Suites. This time around, I thought I'd try something different. We ended up paying $200/night for a dark little hotel room with a broken door lock, a broken tv remote control (not like we were inside that much, but still), a dark little shower, and a malfunctioning a/c. There was free wi-fi, but it was super slow. You're better off going to the little cafe on 5th between 8th and 10th and getting wifi from them. There is no possible way I would ever, ever, EVER stay here again.

The upside was that overall, besides the hotel, it was a wonderful trip as usual - Playa never disappoints!

“Mosquito Beach Deserves Higher-Ranking on TripAdvisor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I did a lot of research before I booked Mosquito Beach and I was not disappointed. I'm just going to repeat a lot of positive and some negative opinions from previous reviews. The location is perfect! You can't ask for more: you are on the beach and and just a half block away from a strip of shops and dining with many-many great selections. The hotel is modern and stylish. We stayed in a junior suite for 7 days. The size of the bedroom is ok, the bathroom could be a little bigger. Some people complains about storage space, let me tell you, I love to overpack and I still had enough room to put my clothes away in the closet. I slept like a baby in the comfy king size bed. Yes, the room is dark, I definitely wouldn't mind a lighter color on the walls. During my stay was a full house and the property was still nice 'n quiet.
Lunch and drinks are excellent. I was not crazy about breakfast. I loved the beds on the beach, they are free for hotel guests.
Service at front desk, beach club and housekeeping was great, they really made our stay enjoyable.
If I could book their Mosquito Beach Suite or Ocean View Suite next time I go back that would make my stay perfect.
I checked out other boutique hotels in the area during my stay and overall I highly recommend Mosquito Beach. I will go back.

“Lovely!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

Me and my husband stayed 3 nights at Mosquito Beach and didn't want to leave. The place is lovely! Modern rooms, very friendly staff and breakfast is served at the beach area, very relaxing! Worth the money, but we should have stayed longer, a week at least!!!

“great hotel, I took a chance and it was great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2010

after reading the reviews I was skeptical since they were pretyy bad. But the pictures and the location was so great I took a chance and I dont regret it. The hotel is contemporary boutique hotel. quiet but in the heart of Playa del carmen where all the hot spots are. it is right at the beach too and beacuse the hotel is boutique style (small and intimate), you have access right as you go out your room.
