4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

I stayed here in December 2010 while I was taking scuba lessons in Playa. Alux was a great little hotel off the main strip, so it's very quiet at night but close enough to the town center that I felt very safe walking back and forth by myself every night. The accommodations were simple and very clean, and a great... More

This was actually May 2010, my sister, my husband and I flew into Cancun, and were en route to Sarteneja, Belize. I'd heard so much about Playa we stopped here at Aluz. Reservations were made in advance and the service was excellent. The building was charming, spotless but inviting and it comes with a resident peacock. The hotel is very... More

My Fiance and I stayed for a long weekend in Playa. This hotel is a hidden gem. The price is excellent for the clean rooms and the lovely people who own this charming hotel. It is a few minutes walk to the boardwalk. The air conditioning is wonderful and everything is very clean. I would recommend it to anyone ;)... More

Stayed 3 nights at the Alux Playa hotel and was pleasantly surprised as to both the value and location of the hotel as it's great. We travelled on a budget as we were going south to Belize, but let me assure you if you can get a flight to Cancun and need a base in a great location (Playa del... More

I chose this hotel for budget reasons and location. It was only a few blocks walking distance to 5th avenue, beaches, nightlife, etc and I felt very safe walking at night alone. The rooms were clean and simple yet charming with mexican flare. The showers always had hot water but it would always overflow onto the bathroom floor. The window... More

Also a laundry place around the corner, next to the OXXO covenience store. The staff is a very cute little family, very pleasant and helpful, but no English spoken ,so bring... More
