“It's fine and is centrally located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2012

Look it's a cheap hotel. Its a short walk from the beach (playa del Carmen is small anyway), it was a bit noisy at night. Agree the security is a bit minimal, but we never lost anything. The rooms are clean. More

“Room Broken Into...Unsafe Hotel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2007

I just returned from from a stay at the Elphante Hotel. My room was robbed on the first night. There is no security to speak of and the rooms are very easy to break into, the doors have cheap locks, windows that can be taken apart and someone can then reach the inside door knob. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING THAT... More

“Many good memories”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2004

I have stayed many times at this hotel. While it is by no means fancy... it is a bed to sleep in and a shower when you'd like to freshen up. I wouldn't reccomend it to someone looking for a resort... but if anyone is just looking for somewhere to sleep in the middle of their tropical adventure, I give... More
