"We enjoyed our time at Lunasol. The staff was friendly and appreciate that they suggested places to visit while being in Playa Del Carmen. Rooms were small for a family of 4. It was a basic room that could use some updating. We were happy with room service everyday. They did an excellent job keeping our room clean. My kids loved the pool. Helped us keep cool during the extreme heat weather. The big plus was the location. We were able to walk to Quinta Avenida and to the ferry port to visit...

Music until almost 1 am. We didn't mind it, since we like going to sleep late, but not ideal for early birds. The included breakfast was delicious. You have like 3 or 4 options to choose from."
