We booked this hotel based on price, but were pleasantly surprised with what we saw when we arrived. The lobby is very nice, with a sitting area looking out onto a very attractive (small) pool and deck. The staff were friendly and helpful, which is important, and we learned there was a breakfast buffet included. The breakfast was tasty and... More

This place fits the 4 c's perfectly. Cheap, clean, comfy and convenient. I could not ask for more with the rate I paid. The room is without frills, just beds, 1 chair, a desk and a TV just like in the pictures. It was quiet but I think that was more due to the place being half empty. No fridge... More

We stayed 2 nights with my boyfriend and it was very good: clean, nice rooms, food ok. When you want a hotel just to stay the night, because you are visiting many places during the day I think this is a very good option and the price is good. More

Close enough for us to walk to the ferry for scuba diving. Clean room, fine service. Struggled some with the climate control in the room, but not uncomfortable. More

Flying into Cancun for our week stay in Cozumel, we wanted a place to stay 1 night before taking the ferry over to Cozumel. The Holiday Inn Express was perfect for us. Located approx 10 minute walk from the main square/ferry terminal and beach. Shopping center near by for groceries and beer etc..... They run a free shuttle to the... More

We often stay at this hotel as a stopover, either heading south or just returning. The hotel is clean, but nothing notable. The pool is clean, but almost never used. The hot breakfast is included, but not really edible. (It was better a year ago.). Our last stay was mid-Jan 2012. We like it because it is a 15 minute... More

HIE in Playa del Carmen is perfect if you want peace and quite. No rowdy partier's and a nice pool to relax by during the day! The breakfast is traditional Mexican flavor but they usually have pancakes and scrambled eggs as well and the price is right...FREE! More

Just a short distance from downtown Playa del Carmen and offers clean rooms and excellent service. For example, the sink sprung a leak one morning and the room service and maintenance people were there within minutes of the call. Had everything back to normal in no time. Special thanks to the front desk (Ovidio) with check-out and printing our boarding... More
