It’s a mold smell in the property. Service is excellent and the bar downstairs is nice. The customer service is very good. Due to the conditions of the property, I won’t stay again. It’s also a perfect location.

Hello Janine,we want to say thank you for choosing our lovely hotel for your stay. Also, we want to say thank you for your feedback and comments. Im sorry about the mold smell but I am confused about the fact that the whole property has that smell. We have common areas with lots of plants and the room you were in has a window that opens to an atrium area. But again, thank you for your visit and we look forward to hosting you again. Have a wonderful day,Steven KProprietor

Hello Ishwor,sorry about the tardiness in our reply. We appreciate that you took the time to send in your feedback. We welcome it completely in order to know how our guests have enjoyed their stay. We are sorry about the noise outside the hotel, we are located in the middle of downtown and the night life does take its space. It is very common that there are frequent brownouts in Playa causing the week connection for wifi. We hope that in the future you may consider visiting us again and letting us show you the best of our best service.Steven KProprietor

Roaches in the room
The service was good no complains there. There were roaches in our room. Very disappointed because this hotel had 4.5 stars when I looked it up. This is definitely not a family friendly area. It is loud outside lots of noise, people music till passed 3am.

Response from cielo on Apr 18, 2023
Hello Gumercindo,Thank you for sharing your comments. I have to say that the roach issue is very rare and we were never made aware of it during your stay. Also the maids did not report any roaches present in your room. We are very attentive about this issue as we are still in a tropical and jungle environment. Extermination is done monthly on schedule. Also, it the law. We would have been more than happy to address the issue had you reported it. I'm very sure that what you think is a roach is actually something else. Also, we are in the middle of town and all guests are aware of the action and tourism when they reserve. We do have, as you yourself have mentioned, very happy guests that are actually realistic of where they are staying when they arrive. We wish you lots of luck in the future with reserving a quiet place that is in the middle of any tourist populated town. Have a great day,StevenProprietor

Hello Verified Stay, sorry we didnt meet your expectations.Unfortunately the bedding can be an error depending on how many people to the reservation. Our superior rooms have 1 and 2 beds. Unfortunately, the decision to put 2 people in a room with 1 bed was an error on our behalf. We would have changed the room when possible but you chose to stay.We know sometimes people get upset and lash out and seems like this is the situation here.In our reports, the bathroom did not smell and the toilet problem was the wads of toilet paper our maintenance removed, we politely asked not to use such large amounts but our advice was ignored, hence the problem with the toilet.And FYI you are not supposed to flush paper here for environmental reasons which again was explained to you. Do we make mistakes, of course, but we at Hotel Cielo always do our very best to rectify any situation to ensure a great stay and is the reason why we rank so well here in Playa Del Carmen.Sincerely,Steven KrisztinProprietor

We loved our stay at this hotel. The location was great, where it's right on 5th avenue. The room was perfect for 3 adults. The 247 concierge was great and super helpful. The balcony overlooked the intersection where there was constant action; street performers, mariachi's, braiding, graffiti and painting artists. The restaurant below was also a hot spot for good food. The walk to the beach was exactly 3 minutes to a prime spot in Playa Del Carmen. We would certainly recommend this property and would certainly love to stay there again.

Nice hotel. Staff was friendly. A few steps away from 5th Ave so you can hear the music late at night. If you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs. I didn’t have any issues though. There is no hairdryer so be sure to bring one. The room was a bit dark and couldn’t open my curtains because it would look into someone’s room next door. The AC worked well. Bed wasn’t bad. I went by myself to Playa Del Carmen and felt safe staying at this hotel. It’s in a very convenient location close to ADO bus stop, 711 steps from the door & one minute walk to the beach. The WIFI wasn’t the strongest but it works - i wouldn’t plan on doing any work video meetings while you’re there. I really liked they provided your room with a bottle of aloe gel. Nice touch. Also they require a 500 peso deposit when you arrive so be sure to plan for that.

So if you like old places with a lot of character, this place might work for you. But it did not work for us. Its old, none of the windows sealed and the doors have major gaps. The first room we had had 5 windows and a door to a balcony. The AC could not keep up. And it had mosquitos pretty bad. There was no room fridge, which would be fine, but they had no ice machine or service. You had to go to the restaurant and get ice, but because it was another business, it was awkward and they gave you one cup half full of ice. It was sweltering here at the time. Secondly, despite the room having a nice view, the noise was pretty unbearable until about 3 am. They did however give a room change without hastle. Which worked better for the AC, mosquitos, and sound, but then had the sorta inverse issue of being dark and musty. But at least we could sleep in this one.

Thank you Nicholas for taking the time to write your review. Upon reinspection of your room, the A/C was low on gas and we saw a couple of gaps that you mentioned but saw no mosquitoes. Since then we recharge the A/C and added a little piece of weather stripping. As for the ice, all you needed to do is say you needed more and we would have gladly provided you with more, can not understand how this could be awkward. Sometimes it can get a little noisy but all that you have mentioned above clearly is not an ongoing situation or it would reflect in our reviews. We also were told by the reception area that our terrace was a safety issue for you and your family. The distance between the cement columns that create the terrace are to code, so not sure why you felt this was an issue. Our sincerest apologies that you felt you were inconvenienced and you had not enjoyed yourself as so many other Hotel Cielo guests have in the past 19 years. Again, thank you for the review.

The Staff at Hotel Cielo were beyond accomodating. This was my first solo trip to Mexico and I was visiting for my birthday. They gave me all the advice from how to exchange currency (and where to get the best rates). Directions to certain areas, food recommendations and things to do in the area. The hotel was in the perfect location, right in the heart of the city (keep in mind you are downtown, so bring earplugs if you wish to sleep). Everything was walkable. Carboncitos, the restaurant attached was AMAZING. The bartender was incredible and made the best mocktails. They even surprised me with cake and had the band sing me happy birthday. Truly one of the best experiences! 10/10 recommend.

This property is right on the beach, literally steps away, and in the thick of the major tourist area of PDC. If you are looking for beach vacation, this is your place. Jose at the front desk is very accommodating and tried very hard to please us. The room is very pretty and comfortable. Suggestion: add more places to hang towels and such. The real issue is that if you are early birds or not into the tourist scene, this is not for you, as it is extremely loud at night. We wanted to use this as a base to see cenotes and the area. The pictures are accurate, so if you are looking for a beach trip, this is the right spot for you! Also, they provide as much bottled purified water as you can drink at no extra charge! If you go to Mexico, then you know that this is very important.

I like the property because is located at few steps from the beach and 5th Avenue. The most concurred street by stores, street vendors and many restaurants and music. However, if you don't like to be bother at night after a long day exploring, I strongly not recommend this place. You will hear noise and music all night. There is a construction right in front, you can imagine how the noise sounds like. The night before I checked out, there was a crane working the whole night. The noise was terrible, like a garbage truck with the engine on behind your room. I guess there was no one there to speak up for those people resting. The owners should get any type of permit for those type of situation out of business hours. The rooms are dark with a minimum natural light.

Hello Lucy, thank you so much for your feedback. We can really use it in these trying times. We are sorry your experience led you to not recommend our little piece of heaven. Growth in a growing tourist city like ours is inevitable. It will happen and all we can do is wait for the completion so that things get back to normal. You must understand that im sure. The good part is our town is growing to offer guests like you a variety of places to shop and eat when visiting. In these small towns, the construction vehicles come in early as not to disturb the tourist traffic during the regular day hours. Also, there was a day when we had wonderful garden views but as I have stated already, growth comes with changes from all sides. We hope you give us a chance to host you again once all the construction on our block is complete. Again, thank you for your feedback and have a wonderful day. Steven Krizstin Proprietor

Hello, we always offer a walk up rate in order to attract the last minute and street shopping guests. It is a regular marketing tactic used by the industry. As for breakfast, we cannot answer for sure with for the restaurante next door as we are two completely seperate businesses. In the past we were able to offer breakfast when they were open but unfortunately, due to the pandemic situation, the government is constantly change the permitted occupancy and it is hard for the restaurante to maintain a staff that meets it standards.

Overall it was nice people good service however we asked for ocean view and we had to bend over the balcony to see a little piece of it.

Hello Brett,thanks for taking the time to write your review. Obviously its not the kind of review we are hoping for but we at Hotel Cielo will always go above and beyond for our clients and will always do our very best to improve. With that said, of course we always have room for improvement, Cielo is like a boat ... a labor of love , and we are always doing our best to keep her shining. Unfortunately for us and our guests, at this time downtown is going through a big construction boom and no one business is safe from its demolision and noise disturbances. We are confident that in the very near future we will be done with it and go back to a wonderful beach side town. We truly feel we are worth more than an average review for our location and price point, but of course we are not for everyone, for we are all different, not for nothing if we were all the same it would be quite boring...LOL Any way we are truly sorry that you did not experience the warmth and charm so many others had, and perhaps in the future that you may return we would love to have the opportunity to make it up to you.

We are "Travelers" and loved the uniqueness of the property. Located right in the downtown area, away from the bar scene. Beautiful scene and well above the average expectations for the area. Parking was 3 blocks west for $10. a day and a great guy. The main guy Jose, great and super knowledgeable about everything. Night shift guy ,Antonio , super nice guy also. We've been to Cancun 10 times and this time Cielo became our new favorite. Restaurant staff couldnt be better . Great food and $10-$12 a plate and breakfast for $6 couldnt be better.

Love Hotel Cielo!! We highly recommend staying at Hotel Cielo the next time you are in Playa. The perfect hotel for a romantic getaway. This is the third time my wife and I stayed at Cielo and we couldn’t be more happier with our stay. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are spacious, clean and have a true authentic feel of the area. It’s not just another typical hotel. A true gem that stands out. Thank you to the owners Steve and Alejandra for making our stay feel special. Again, we highly recommend this hotel!

Everything looked so good on the menu I couldn't decide what to order!! Another plus is that you get a discount for breakfast when staying with them! Everything is fresh and cooked to order. I love their restaurant Carboncitos! The rooms were extremely clean and well kept. The hotel is perfectly located to everything, especially the beach, and far enough away from all the hustle and bustle if you want peace and quiet at night. The owners are always there and ready to help you with anything, if needed. Great deal, great view, great staff, great service! I highly recommend this hotel and restaurant!

this is a beautiful hotel located right in center of town and a short walk to the beach. the hotel seems to be one of the few places that has maintained a traditional Mexican style, the rooms are very private spacious and the decor makes you feel like you are staying at high end spanish hacienda. The restaurant on the property Carboncitos, is by far the best we experienced in playa. The food is authentic mexican and yucatan dishes , just delicious with a staff that is amazing. our check in and hotel staff was attentive an accommodating. this place is a 10!

We had a quick one night stay at El Cielo Hotel since we were heading to Tulum the next day. We chose this place because of how close it was to the beach and the ADO station. We booked a little over a month in advance and received confirmation that we were good to go. Upon arrival the front desk couldn’t find our reservation. For a good 10 minutes we were going back and forth trying to figure out the issue. We showed him our confirmation email and booking number and were met with “ uhh. There is no reservation for you.”Even after showing him proof of the reservation. However, he was able to “find” us in the system some how..? He then notified us that our single bed room ground level room was unavailable and they only had a two bed room left.. After all that hassle as we were about to head to the room.. some other man pulls up and the front desk person starts chatting with him (seemed like friends?) for a good 5-7 mins. Leaving us just standing twiddling our thumbs. We had just been traveling all day and with the humidity and the hassle of the room situation I was just not in the mood for that. Now I wouldn’t say he was rude or impolite or anything, I just think customer service was off. Finally we get to our room- it’s cramped, obviously because of the now given two beds. We were also greeted with a huge dead cockroach... also the conplimentary continental breakfast is hardly that.. just toast and coffee/juice.. Would not recommend based on our experience.

Nice location but not livable for more than a day
The employees were good in talking nice etc, however it is equivalent to 1 star hotel in USA. The door lock is loose, it was traditional key instead of key card, its a small hotel, there were no windows for light and air circulation.. It is located in excellent location though
