Kinbe Hotel, Playa del Carmen Centro

We first stayed here in Oct. 2003 and decided to book again in Oct. 2008. Perfect choice! super close to the beach and to 5th ave. Hotel staff so nice. rooms are nice too. Cute boutique hotel in the heart of playa. Cold A/C in each room too. Very worth the $$ You MUST go eat at the Argentinian rest. on 5th ave "Diez" The best steak and hamburgers. Go to Heliodias bar. Great drinks, music and atmosphere. We booked our last 3 nights in playa at an all inclusive, but we rather would have stayed at Kinbe. I will for sure stay at Kinbe again.

where do i begin. At hotel kinbe, i got $400 dollars stolen out of the safe in my room along with my cell phone. The hotel employes are the only individuals who have access to the room, however, the owner took no responsibility whatsoever. She would not help at all, and blamed the missing money on myself. She was very rude. Also, workers started hammering nails and working on the hotel every morning at 8:30 and continued throughout the entire day. One morning our hot water went out and we were stuck taking cold showers and another day our electicity was out so we had no a/c. it was 115 degrees outside, so you can imagine how hot it got in the room. There are lots of other hotels in the playa area that would be a much better choice. My advice is to avoid hotel kinbe, try to find a place you can trust. getting all of your vacation money stolen on the second day is not fun...believe me.
