I had a great stay at Hotel Kinbe, with its perfect location just steps from the beach and Quinta Avenida. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable. On the downside, the noise from the nightlife was a bit much at times, so earplugs are a must if you're a light sleeper. Overall, I loved the boutique vibe and would come back for sure.

The hotel had a nice pool, but I didn't use it much since it was indoors and unheated. The laundry service was handy, but just make sure to specify hand wash for delicates.

The location is perfect for those wanting to be in the heart of Playa del Carmen, just steps from the beach and Fifth Avenue. but the noise from nearby clubs and bars makes it hard to relax. The room was clean but quite small, and the amenities were basic, so it didn't quite meet my expectations.

My stay at Hotel Kinbe had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, close to the beach and bustling 5th Avenue, but noise from nearby clubs was a significant downside. While the hotel has a charming atmosphere and lovely greenery, the rooms needed some maintenance, and I struggled with a leaking toilet. Overall, it's a decent option for those wanting to be in the heart of the action, but sleep might be elusive.
