The property had missing parts of it drywall, the mattresses we unbearable to sleep on, we had to buy foam to put on the mattresses and didn't get much sleep because it was so bad. The water took at least 20 minutes to warm up and the mini split air conditioner did not work well. I would never stay in this hotel again.

For this budget price I just hope for clean and safe. However the room’s door handle was loose and barely locked, felt very insecure. Mattresses had plastic covering under sheets so very hot. Housekeeping did not service the room but took away all the towels (which were hung up, not on floor) and refused to replace them unless they were tipped. Fridge in room very noisy. Generally, the room and hotel smelled like mildew/mould.

The location is excellent, very close to Quinta Avenida, but without the noise. An easy walk from the ADO bus station. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great options for food and all amenities. The beach is super easy to access. All in all, for the price,I really enjoyed my stay here. Would stay here again.

This hotel is fine for budget travel. Very centrally located. The property is dated and could use a total renew but beds were decent, shower was hot and the room was clean.

Had a one day stop in Playa. When I got to the hotel, they told me they were overbooked, and said they had booked me a complimentary stay at the Vista Caribe several blocks away (but closer to the ocean). So, my room at the Vista Caribe was great! It was a lot bigger than I expected - two storeys, two huge beds, two full bathrooms. Two big problems though - no wifi and no hot water. The lack of hot water was annoying. Anyhow, I can’t speak to the quality of the Sahara, sorry.

Pretty basic hotel, blood stains on the walls and bed mattress was sunken on half the bed, smelled stingy. Pretty much the only reason to stay is because there was nothing else available.

This hotel is an okay option just for 1 night. But I could not stay there longer. The hotel is outdated and dirty. The lobby and inside area next to the lobby look interesting and kind of stylish. But my room was awful! It reminded me a road motel’s room. I payed aprox $27 per night with all taxes included, and I believe this price is right for the hotel’s quality.

Nice hotel for a good price. Balcony was nice to sit out on with nice breeze. Everything very clean but the bed was a little hard. No elevator on the side I was on. Good staff and friendly. Close to everything and walkable to beach, restaurants and bars.

Hotel is charging your stay in USD with a rate that doesn't exist even at the airport exchange booth. Because of that I had to pay CAD 50.- extra for my 8 day stay.
You can ask (Online) to pay at the hotel in USD cash.
Cleanless should be improved.
Location good.

When booked, wasn't clear that location wasn't in the hotel but a few blocks away. Instead of daily housekeeping as advertised, it was every 3 days. Parking was offsite at the main hotel.
Condition of room - atrocious at best. Bug infested plumbing fixtures - creepy crawlers coming through drains. Toilet permanently ringed in brown stained colour. You can get locked on room - need a key to get in and out of room. Very dangerous in case of fire or emergency.

We were directed to a separate building two blocks away from the main building where the pool and service is. The separate building contains the apartments and their appearance were not that clean and nice, but in the end we liked it nevertheless. There were wifi problems in the room, but we were able to use the wifi in the main building. The staff was very helpful and nice.

We spent 2 weeks from Nov23- Dec 7 . The hotel is clean and basic. The pool is small but well maintained and refreshing. We were upgraded free of charge to a superior room that included continental breakfast in the restaurant below. The food was excellent and full breakfasts were well prepared and extremely cheap! The hotel is situated perfectly for exploring Playa,3 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from 5th and walmart. Service was excellent .Be aware there is no elevator and there are 18 steps to each level with the pool on the roof.There is a safe and a small bar fridge in the room but no coffee maker. Staff lugged our stuff up to our room for us which was very appreciated! I absolutely would reccomend this hotel for anyone traveling on a budget.
