I'm giving this place 5 stars. Not because it's a 5 star hotel but because it's great for what it is. Excellent location, excellent AC, excellent prices. The room was clean and everything worked. Even had great water pressure in the shower. If your partying on a budget and want to be walking around this is it.

We stayed a playa azul for one night on our two day getaway. They were very friendly and flexible here. Yes it wasn’t a high end place to stay but for what you pay you get a decent room but their customer service is what completed this stay, felt safe enough to stay here.

I give this place 5 stars! If you're there to party, this is the perfect location, and staff is friendly. If your trying to rest and be boring find another hotel lol the club is right above this hotel. Our room was directly below lol So all night and early morning there was great music playing! Very affordable and right next to the bars!
