The view

The view

Just tucked away far enough from the world to be beyond peaceful, but close enough to get into town. With a bus stop literally at your door. This old school Mexican. So don’t come here looking for fake skyscraper hotels and pools full of thousands of people. Here it’s all about the best sunsets and chill vibes

Great Safe place

They are on the Ocean and have the best views, staff is friendly, and the property gives the old Mexican charm.Good for Insta Posts! Its a nice place but needs upgrades, we were for a night so could manage but in our room, the toilet door was faulty, TV was not working.

Quiet area. Great view of the water and Cancun.

Mixed feelings. The staff are really wonderful. But the room we stayed in was not very nice. The bedsheets were stained, the beds not comfy & everything felt tatty. Examples: the shower curtain was pretty dirty, there were chunks of wood out of the front door, the lampshade was super old and just looked generally run down. The shower was all over the place and water didn’t flow in a single direction. It needs a good lick of paint and some TLC. The breakfast was not great, a bowl of yogurt and some bread rolls is not ideal maybe some croissants and actual milk instead of powdered creamer would be a nicer touch! That being said if you want a quiet location this is great. The staff as I mentioned can’t do enough for you and are very kind. The place just needs a lil TLC although other reviewer photos I see are nicer than the room we had.

Nice property. The staff is nice. But there are no services. Bar closed at 7. Dining room closed at 8. There is nothing in the vicinity of the property.

Pros- beautiful setting with pool, aqua sea, tropical foliage, very good food on site, quaint hotel. Staff very helpful and hardworking, several restaurants and a small market within walking but we did enjoy our cart for both the hot day and windy day. Con’s- loud boats anchor off shore, same as on playa Norte where we stayed earlier. Rooms could use some upgrades- lampshades, curtains, simple things but room were definitely comfortable

Beautiful views, stairs are uneven, things are just tired but the rooms are updated and pleasant.

our room was perfect loved the view. overall the property was just perfect. love the value. I just didn't care for the side next to the deck by the ocean. when I looked into the woods their was tons of beer cans and garbage. would of been nice not to have to look at the garbage when I was laying in the sun. we would go again and book the same place

The beachfront is great and the breakfast on the patio was a delight.

My time at La Joya was fantastic. The staff are unbelievably friendly. The room was perfect for me and the staff went out if their way to ensure my stay was great. Hector was unreal and helped with every single thing I needed. The food was delicious and the hotel was the perfect place for me to unwind and kick back. I’d definitely return here the next time I visit the island. Missing it already!!

The hotel itself is wonderful - hence the 5 star rating. The rooms are a little dated but are clean, have great views and provide you with comfortable beds and everything else you need to enjoy your stay. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on your balcony is a dream and was one of my favorite things. The property is located on a slightly steep hillside that cascades down to the sea. Those with mobility issues should be aware that there are many steps and there isn’t an elevator. A note on the surroundings and what I would change if I visited again. We preferred this end of the island. In my opinion, it’s much easier to relax. It’s quieter and there are far less people compared to the Playa Norte/Downtown area. We broke our trip up into two stays with Hotel La Joya being our first and then we moved up to a hotel close to Playa Norte. Next time, I would probably stay here the whole time and seek out a good deal for an extended golf cart rental.

Rooms are getting a bit worn but beautiful location and view. Very nice pool.

We arrived tired, hot with thumping loud music from a nearby hotel. The next day and rest of the week was just lovely. We grew to love the place.
