MAYAB Playa - 5Th. Ave

For around 23-30 euros for two people, this is good value for 1-3 nights. The building looks fully renovated, it’s a minute’s walk from ADO, and the Wi-Fi and water were fine. There’s a fridge, too. The bed wasn’t very comfortable, though it was okay for one night, and there’s no chair or desk, so working on a tablet or sitting on the small terrace isn’t really possible. I paid extra for the “panoramic” room, but it had one window, not the two shown in the booking photo.

The staff were polite and great. The location is excellent, very close to the ADO bus terminal, and the rooms are good for sleeping and relaxing.

Really disappointing. The sheets and washroom were dirty.

We arrived at 3 in the morning and there was nobody to let us in. The door is locked overnight and there’s no reception, so even though I’d paid for the night, I had to find another hotel. They should make it clear when booking that no one is there at reception, so people can decide whether to reserve. I’m never coming back, and I do not recommend this place at all. A terrible mark against it. There’s also something odd about the sink tap: when you turn it on, the water shoots toward your body instead of your hands. If you’re dressed and don’t notice, you’ll have to change or go out wet.
