Ratings and reviews

We first booked the honeymoon suite, which should rather be called the honeymoon basement, thanks to the kind staff for allowing us to change room. Second room, shower wasn't working so the first evening we couldn't shower and had to change again, third room shower was working so so and the floor of the room was very dirty.
When signing in to the hotel you are forced to sign a statement saying that you won't leave any complaints during your visit which I found very strange.
Reason for low rating on review was that this hotel was quite pricey even after a big discount compared to other placed we stayed in before and after, and in my opinion, for that price they shall deliver a much higher quality.

This place was dissapointing, it has potential to be great but a few things let it down. The water pressure was the lowest I had ever experienced, making it hard to take a proper shower or even brush your teeth, no hot water either. The pillows were hard and had lumps in them, new pillows would go a long way to making the stay more comfortable. The location is ok, the area is a little dodgy but could be worse and lastly the place is a little run down, it could use some refurbishment and painting.

This is one of the older properties in the area. It has no real amenities - no 24 hr front desk, just a security guard that serves no purpose. Pool looks like it hasn’t been cleaned all season. No elevator - had to take the stairs to the 4th floor to the “office” to check in. Had to haul luggage to the 3rd floor to get to the unit. The a/c unit is not sufficient for the size of the unit. Room temp was not bearable until about 3 or 4am. The only positive thing was the view from the unit and the rooftop. Thats the only reason to give this place a second look.

It is a Gem on the 5th Avenue. We took a 4 day vacation and I needed to work for 3 days remotely (needed to quite a few health consultations over the internet phone).
Wifi was #1 requirement. Each room has a router and dedicated wifi signal. This is the best connection I've had, both wifi and cable worked GREAT. No drops, no loss of signal...unlike "all inclusive resorts."
Rooms are modern, clean, staff is friendly (host and her son speak good English), place is quiet, away from the 5th street noise, 4 min walk to the beach (very nice and clean-also not noisy, unlike "all inclusive.") Hotel is in safe neighbourhood and within 1-7 min walk to great food places. We ate mostly on the 5th but price wise, baja cafe next door has the best prices. Their combos are great. NOTE: eating out prices are the same as in Canada...be prepared.
We also bought food at the super market on the 10th street and fruit from the stands on the 15th (they were SUPER DELICIOUS). It's about a 15 min walk.
We loved sun tanning by the pool and watching the ocean. Next time we'll go for the "queen bad," as there is more room for a couple. We are looking forward to be coming back with the boys, as it is truly a GREAT PLACE.
Special thank you to Mighty and her son...oh yes, we loved the turtles in the pond. Quite the characters have to say. Thank you for creating this place. Each morning and evening I spent quite a bit on balcony in meditation... even though I had to wear the ear plugs.

Staff was amazing, Anna Maria made sure i had what I needed and assisted with any requests I had. About 10min walk to downtown 5th avenue. Nice view from the pool area to the Ocean.
I was traveling alone and am a women so walking back at night was not the best choice, the hotel is in kore of a residential area. The stay was nice and I would stay again.

Not very pleasant place Lsst time I stayed at a Hotel nearby that was the same price but it was way much better They do not have parking available and it fells quite unsafe to leave the car in the street This place should have a two star rating at most

When we arrived at the hotel, my partner saw a poop in the toilet, and the room smelled like mould.
The area around the hotel feels completely unsafe; when we asked the person in the lobby about it, he just scoffed and said, "Sure!".
It's so safe they don't give you keys to enter the building. You have to buzz in so they can check who it is.
Around the area, there are only a couple of mechanic shops, and some prostitutes hang around the area at night and that's it.
The ocean view is about 2 miles away, so you can see some water and assume it's the ocean.
AVOID THIS HOTEL. Worst of all, we asked for our money back since we had to look for another hotel in the middle of the night because this was a horrible place with a horrible area, and just stood with the no cancellation fee two days before the stay, I wonder why they don't make cancellations after, and I would answer that because if you see the hotel and the area around it, you know you won't stay in it.
By the way, the pictures of the hotel in Expedia are concepts of the area, not actual pictures.

This plae is terrible. They didnt have hot water. Said there was a spa but there was not one. The pool looked dirty. We stayed one night and left and they wouldn't refund our 2 day other day. The saying is true you get what you pay for... run away from this property

We stayed here for four nights at the end of our honeymoon. The staff were amazing and very helpful. The location was very quiet and the views were lovely of the jungle and ocean.

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ocean Zen Suites on 5th Avenue, and I must say it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked into the hotel, I was greeted with warm and friendly service. The hotel staff were always available to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
The room was spacious, comfortable, and had all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. I particularly enjoyed waking up early to catch the stunning sunrise from my window. The bathroom was spotless and had all the necessary amenities.
One of the highlights of my stay was the rooftop pool with breathtaking views of the ocean, which was just a few minutes' walking distance away. It was a fantastic way to relax after a long day of exploring. What impressed me the most was the safety measures in place - the pool had a gate that opened via a camera and security guard, which made me feel safe and secure.
The hotel's location was also excellent, situated in a vibrant and bustling area with plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby. It was also just a short walk from public transportation, which made it easy to explore the city.
Overall, I highly recommend Ocean Zen Suites on 5th Avenue for anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in Playa del Carmen. The staff, amenities, and location all exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back and visit again!"

A little off the beaten track from further south where there are too many people and too many stores. A 5 minute walk from the closest beach with local and semi-local restaurants near by. Also has a small pool on the roof with a view of the neighbourhood. Not a luxury hotel but it has character and that's what we liked about it.
