My stay at Aruma Hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Playa del Carmen, making it easy to access local attractions. However, issues with check-in, room conditions, and misleading promotion regarding the beach club were disappointing. I did appreciate the breakfast options that catered to plant-based diets.

The rooftop pool area was nice, but without an elevator, it was a bit of a trek to the third floor. Wi-Fi issues were also frustrating during my stay.

My stay at Aruma Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic—close to 5th Avenue and plenty of dining options—the condition of the hotel was lacking. The breakfast was a highlight, especially with many plant-based options, but there were frustrating issues like check-in complications and room discrepancies.

I booked a deluxe Junior room but was disappointed to find the actual room didn't match the pictures online. It felt outdated, with issues like poor water pressure, and some basic amenities were lacking. The faulty keyless entry was also a hassle, leaving me waiting at times.

The staff was generally friendly, but I had an unpleasant experience at check-in. They tried to charge me again for my room, despite already paying through American Express Travel. My patience was tested as I needed to provide proof of payment, taking up a lot of valuable time.

The location was one of the best parts of my stay—just a short walk to 5th Avenue and many great local spots, including a vegan café right next to the hotel. It was perfect for exploring Playa del Carmen while still enjoying some peace and quiet in my room.

Breakfast was included and featured many vegan and vegetarian items (which I loved). However, if you're a meat eater, you might find the selection a bit lacking as there were no meat options available.

The hotel had a charming rooftop pool, but the internet was unreliable during my visit, which was inconvenient. It's worth noting there were additional resort fees that I felt were not justified based on the services offered.

My stay at Aruma Hotel was a mixed bag. The location is super convenient, being close to the nightlife and other attractions, but I faced some major hiccups during check-in. The room was spacious, but the overall state of the hotel felt outdated and didn’t match the photos online, which was disappointing. On the flip side, I did enjoy the breakfast options, especially for plant-based diets.

My stay at Aruma Hotel in Playa del Carmen had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, close to everything yet quiet enough to relax. However, I faced issues with both the check-in process and the condition of the room. While I appreciated the free breakfast options, the overall experience left much to be desired.

During my recent stay at Aruma Hotel in Playa del Carmen, I found the location to be convenient, just a short stroll from the bustling nightlife and 5th Avenue. However, the hotel itself was quite underwhelming, showing signs of deterioration and mismanagement. While the rooftop pool area was a nice touch, the overall experience left much to be desired due to issues like faulty room amenities and misleading promotional claims. 🌴😞
