Check-in was quite easy. The condo was very clean and had everything we need. The bed was very comfortable. My only minor complaint was the cooking utensils could have been a little better. The frying pans were warped, and there was no proper fry turner. If you are not cooking, you will have no issues. ##### Linda Ann Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication pros: large pool that is never too crowded to find a chair no loud music at the pool, older crowd just relaxing location is great; in the middle of the strip room cleaning apparently included; we found out by walking in on a maid in the room large comfortable king bed pool security were friendly and always brought us an umbrella when we asked cons: pool didn't seem to be heated room pretty dated and could use some modernization. needs a deep cleaning, paint job, new furniture. i thought the shower glass was frosted but it was just dirty. mold in the shower. no shower caddy for toiletries. bring shower sandals, the water backs up a bit. a bit loud at night since it's next to a club but it didn't bother us and we knew about it i'd say it's a solid 7.5/10 due to the location, pool, and atmosphere. would be a 9/10 with some modernization of the room. ##### Chris Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Impression Moxché by Secrets – Adults Only – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Secrets-Impression-Moxche-Playa-Del-Carmen.h68897680.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reef Coco Beach Resort & Spa- Optional All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-The-Reef-Coco-Beach-Optional-All-Inclusive.h978241.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradisus La Perla -
