Hotel Sol Playa

his is a nice little boutique hotel, very clean and super nice staff. It is located just 200 meters from a fabulous beach, just a short walk down the path. It is located in a quieter residential area about a 15 minute walk from the bustle/noise of downtown Del Carmen. Our room had a nice little kitchen and a couple of great balconies where we could watch all the people walking down 5th Ave which is closed to traffic. We very much enjoyed our breakfasts every morning in the attached restaurant.

This hotel is located outside of the touristy area but it’s right on Avenida Quinta which is mostly a walking path and the touristy area is about a 15-20 min walk. The beach is 3 min away and is beautiful. It’s mostly used by locals. The on site restaurant is great and the breakfast choices are numerous and all fantastic as is the coffee and juice. Our suite was very basic but kept extremely clean. All of the staff are absolutely wonderful! The rooftop terrace is nice and has glimpses of the ocean. The area itself is a bit on the rougher looking side but we love the feel of living like a local. There are lots of dogs roaming around barking and fighting with each other but they seem to have no interest in people so this was fine. There are no lounge chairs or umbrellas to rent at the beach so come prepared. There is a pharmacy not far away where you can buy big water bottles. All and all a wonderful stay and a big thank you to all of the staff for making it that way!

Highly recommend this property. Location is perfect, with next to no traffic, entrance to public beach just across the road, and just a short sraight shot, within walking distance, to 5th Ave. If you're in to exercise, you can literally start your run, walk, biking, etc...right outside your door; you won't be alone, seems to be a common route, as the majority of roadway is pedestrian only. Service is great, very attentive. As others have said, the coffee is delicious, as well as the fresh squeezed orange juice, both of which are included with breakfast, which was included in our stay, for which we could order off the menu; everything is delicious and good serving size. Loved the open air feel/atmosphere of not just the restaurant area, but the stairwell to the rooms, as well. The rooms are plenty spacious, bright, and quiet. Staff did excellent job of keeping our room immaculate every day we were there, fully restocking soap, shampoo/conditioner, toilet paper, etc... when needed. We loved relaxing in the hammocks on the rooftop. Oftentimes we came in late at night, and each night there was personnel on the other side of the door. This was very reassuring and gave us a sense of security. If in area again, we would definitely stay here again. No complaints and very affordable.
