Senses Quinta Avenida By Artisan Adults Only

Nice boutique hotel with nice front desk attendants. Love the TV channel options....

Cute little hotel to stay right on 5th Avenue. Street parking is difficult so I would suggest the paid lot “estacionamiento público” on Avenida 34 and it’s a two block walk from there. The property is modern, clean and the staff is friendly. Be sure to checkout their roof top pool for some panoramic views. It’s a few min walk from Playa Del Carmen beaches and in the buzz of the fun and famous 5th Avenue known for the restaurants, bars, nightlife, and souvenirs.

I just got back from my honeymoon in Playa - we stayed two nights here and it was an awesome hotel right in the heart of the tourist area. It was clean, and much fancier than I thought it would be (double shower heads, remote controlled blinds). We had a junior suite with a jacuzzi on the deck (the deck did not have a view, overlooked another building) and it was very roomy. The room was fairly quiet for how much action was happening outside. The only complaint I had was that we were supposed to have an open bar (for domestic drinks during limited hours) included in our stay - I even emailed ahead of time to confirm. When we arrived we were given coupons for free breakfast instead (the food was edible although not good at all). When I asked what happened to the free bar we were supposed to get the woman checking us in said she'd ask her manager about it and get back to us but we never heard anything back. Since we were out exploring most of the day and not in our hotel drinking I decided to let it go but I was disappointed that they didn't deliver what they promised. Also, the rooftop pool and sauna were not open during our stay which was a disappointment.

Nice hotel in the 5th.

Hotel & pool lovely altho roof hot tub could use a thorough scrubbing as it felt slimy. Conveniently situated on PdC's main pedestrian thoroughfare. Tastefully appointed rooms, modern bath w/ upgraded fixtures, daily replenishment of L'Occitane bath products, & great ac made cocooning a joy. Comfortable beds, great balcony for people watching, insanely noisy front facing rooms nightly til @ least 1am. In room wireless was down 1st 48 hrs of our stay. Nespresso coffee pods & 2 bottles of water provided upon arrival, & again upon asking after none was left the 2nd day, but never again over 5 remaining nights. Kindly breakfast, housekeeping, roof bar, & lobby staff. Would recommend front desk be more forthright about nature of invite to visit their more costly & upscale beach front sister property 20 minutes away. We were told we'd be provided r/t transit to the Artisan Maya w/ lunch along w/ a short tour of the hotel to get to know it in the hopes we'd want to book a future stay. OK. A $50 spa or dining credit was then offered upon our arranging the suggested free visit. Strange I thought. Perhaps naively, we didn't realize we were signing on for a 75 minute, 1 on 2 vacation club sales pitch where we'd be pressured to buy future nights @ a supposed discount, something that couldn't possibly hold any less appeal. We felt no moral problem accepting the free lunch & $50 dinner credit @ our hotel restaurant as we felt they'd hijacked an afternoon of our vacation unnecessarily.
