The location can't be beat! One block from the beach, and one block from 5th Avenue - Hotel Kinbe was a wonderful find for our 1 year anniversary vacation to Playa del Carmen this past February. The rooms are simple and modern, and the bed was very comfortable (which is hear is hard to find in Playa!) I really loved... More

The hotel atmosphere is really nice. Helpfull staff and great location on the hotel. Very short from the beach, short way to shoping street and in perfect dtstance to night clubs so that you don't hear the music from night clubs that's located further down the street. They don't serve breakfast but Starbuck is only 50 m away. Great place... More

After reading some other reviews I'm saddened by such petulant sounding people. Playa is a small beach town, much like you'd find in the Caribbean, so if you're expecting to stay at a Four Seasons with palatial rooms and free-flowing hot water and gallant butlers then you may want to pony-up an extra thousand per night and head to Fiji....

Room was dark particularly the bathroom. Being on top floor it took a long time for warm water to reach the bathroom. There was very small shelf for toiletries in bathroom and no dresser or cabinet to store clothes. Metal covered stairway is noisy. Being a block off the beach and off 5th Ave. the room was fairly quiet. Staff... More

To be brief, the photos make this hotel look charming and when you first arrive the small lobby and garden area look inviting. The rooms are very small, dark, dingy feeling. The air cond. is a unit not central air, loud and inconsistant air (i.e. on or off, too cold or not cold enough). The bathroom was a complete nightmare.... More

Hotel is a block and a half from beach. There was no "beach view". My room was relatively cheap ($90.00/night) but even so was very small (like twice the size of a walk-in closet), There are better hotels for the same, or lower cost nearby.

Do not really understand the positive reviews. The rooms were dark and shabby and there was a leakage in the bathroom. This hotel needs a major make over! The hotel is very noisy and it was really difficult to sleep. The staff luckily is friendly a keeps on smiling. This should not have gotten a traveler award from Trip Advisor

Location could not be better - close to the beach and action is around the corner. Friendly and helpful staff. Overall great experience ; little extra cleanliness and maintenance/updates would raise it to superb....Would recommend in a heartbeat!

room was exceptionally small and poorly appointed. i got a really bad dealn and i should have looked just a little harder. the people were really nice but times have past this hotel by and appears that the only updating is cosmetic. very good wifi, though. not even a good $50 deal.

I give Kinbe an above average overall rating. I would grade it a 'B'. The look of hotel online was slick, and the great reviews pushed me over to book. When I arrived, I fortunately received a comp upgrade, and thank god. The smallest 'pretty' rooms are smalllllll and glad I didn't have to suffer in one of them. I... More
