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.

I have stayed here many times over the years and have always enjoyed it.

Basic and old, decent location for the price, would stay here again

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 The hotel is outdated and dirty.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.

Playa de Carmen is nice place to visit. The hotel needs some remodeling and maintenance - WiFi so so not always get hot water not so tidy hotel.

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.

It was only unpleasant, finding 2 spiders and spider webs in the bathroom, the rest impeccable, all always very attentive.

Room is clean and convenient to go center of city. But it was noisy at night.

This hotel is located about 2 blocks from 5th avenue. It is clean and well cared for. Everything is walkig distance and they do have a covered parking lot. There is a rooftop pool and a park across the street.

This Hotel is the perfect location by all the stores and restaurants you need. Im really disappointed in the 3-star review that was given because this hotel is easily 5 stars based on the location and the super friendly staff. I would recommend it to families who need to frequent Walmart often, you know, because of emergencies with the littles. I will always pick Sahara when in PDC!

The room was sparse and the lighting was harsh. It was just a bed and aircon. The location is good, but it was a bit blah.

Our stay was alright. A lot of the listed hotel amenities where actually just local attractions. For example there is no gym or casino. There was one half of the hotel that had been renovated and another that is not. Wifi and bed were not great. Location and price is great.

A well-located basic hotel. I didn't get a chance to see the pool, but you can get a light simple breakfast of fruit, toast and coffee at a restaurant next door. I thought the shower was great, with wonderful water pressure, but I wish there was a blanket for the bed. When I asked, they said after 10pm they couldn't help me, since all that was locked up

The front desk personal was nice but my room was sold to someone else because i check in late and i was out of hotel with 3 kids and a wife at 10 30pm

Friendly staff, centrally located and walking distance to beach and 5ta Av. Room was kept clean and tidy thanks to the friendly cleaning staff. The standard double room with 2 queen size beds was on the smaller size, but perfect for two if you plan to spend minimal time in the hotel (i.e.: beach, bars, travel to Tulum for the day, etc.).

The first room we were given was filthy, old stained bedding no hand towels or soap, ect....We asked to be moved or refunded. No refunds but they moved us up a floor the next day which was better but still not great. Upper floors have small balconies nice to sit outside but all of them are street view. We walked to Walmart and the Mega (2 and 5 blocks away) and bought a few things to make the room more comfortable. Front desk staff were nice though. Sent our laundry to be done and it was practically free and back the next day. 3 block walk to the ocean, but a longer walk to a nicer beach. 2 blocks to 5th Ave -the shopping strip, lots of great restaurants but pricy for Mexico. Great one Don Marios an Italian place 1 block towards the water. This place is kitty corner from the city hall park, their Carnival was happening during our stay so it was very loud. Thumping bass till 2am every night. I would recommend asking about the park before staying here! Overall I would expect to pay less for this budget hotel, Im not picky.
