My stay at Pelicano Inn was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious, had a bit of a moldy smell due to the beachfront location, which was a downside. However, the service was friendly and responsive, making up for some of the room issues. The hotel's location was great, especially for those who enjoy being close to bars and restaurants, but it could get noisy. The dining experience was a bit lacking, with limited breakfast options. Overall, it's a decent choice with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were huge and private, complete with a mini fridge and a modern bathroom. The AC was great, and there was plenty of hot water. I especially loved the private front patio and access to the beach club with a fantastic affordable restaurant and bar. However, it was a shame that there was no hair dryer available in the room, and it was a bit inconvenient to have to be outside of the room to use it. The location was perfect, overlooking the sandy beach.

Rooms

9.0

The rooms were spacious and offered great privacy, with all the necessary amenities. The access to the beach club added a nice touch.

Service

7.0

The service was friendly and welcoming. Although there were some delays in getting a menu, the staff overall was kind and accommodating.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was prime, right in front of the beach and within walking distance to the heart of Playa del Carmen. It's a perfect mix of a Mexican community and tourist attractions, although it could get noisy in certain room locations.

Dining

8.0

Dining at the hotel was enjoyable, especially with made-to-order meals on the beachfront. The options were good, though slightly limited to eggs.

Facilities

The facilities were well-maintained, providing a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere for guests.

6.0/10

I loved the location of the hotel, right by the beach and just a block away from Quinta Avenida. The rooms were basic but clean, and the staff was friendly. Sadly, the dining experience left a lot to be desired with poor quality food.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were at a level of a cheap hostel, straight to reception on the third floor with no elevator, so keep that in mind if you face any challenges. The sea-view rooms were a nice touch.

Service

5.0

The staff had German skills, although there were noise issues and a broken bathroom window. Some of the staff members were unfortunately rude and homophobic.

Location

6.0

I appreciated the hotel being right by the beach and on the main road in Playa del Carmen. However, being between a rave bar and a construction site had its drawbacks.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was subpar, with a restaurant located in a nearby street offering poor-quality food and tiny portions for what was termed as a 'fruit salad. '
