Playa Fomento Vacations from $1,452

This accommodation has decent value and friendly staff, but it was unclear to me that this isn’t a traditional hotel. It’s a co-living space that uses some of its dormitory-style rooms for a hotel business. Be prepared to feel like you’re on a field trip. Additionally, the rooms themselves and the spa area are not well cleaned and maintained, e.g. stains in bathroom and grime, as well as blackout curtains that are falling apart and sheets that are too small to cover the mattress underneath. Again, it’s a good location and a budget price, but the low price made sense after checkin.

The worst mattress and shower I had to endure in years.

The dining options are limited, and the restaurant had a limited selection. However, the location was ideal for touring the area with a river view. The room and bath were a bit dated, needs a little upgrading but we well maintained.
