Best location you could ask for in PDC. Right on 5th Ave but the moment you walk in it’s SO quiet and peaceful. Couple minutes walk down a beautiful street to the beach and lots of good food spots nearby. The hotel itself is gorgeous - the garden and breakfast space feels like a jungle and the rooms are beautiful. A full breakfast of fruit, coffee, toast, omelettes is included and the staff are so lovely. This is my favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in, SO sad to leave x

Very nicely furnished hotel, you could see that someone is paying attention to details. Best thing was that from the balcony you could see only trees, so it didn't feel like in the city. Breakfast was really delicious and the place to eat it among all the trees was very relaxing. Bed was comfortable. There is a restaurant just next door, so there is some noise, but no loud music and usually ended around midnight. They have parking places right in front of the entrance. It's right in the centre, but on a nice, green alley going straight to the beach (the beach close by is awful, but 10mins walk down the road there is a very nice and wide public beach).

You'd have to wait for 5minutes for hot water in the shower, not a big issue, just a big waste of water. It might be difficult for some people to carry the luggage on the stairs. The bicycles that they offer are completely useless and dangerous to use, they are falling apart, but probably a 10$ fix would do the job.

The staff were lovely, but the highlight was the chef. Breakfast every morning overlooking the garden was so nice, and the food was exceptional. Location is great, stones throw from the madness of 5th, and a short walk to the beach. Would highly recommend.

Location isn’t right on google maps, making it tricky to find!

The hotel is cozy and the room with terrace I booked was great. I loved the fact that breakfast was included, fresh fruit and juices were served every morning, with a daily special from Gabriel that was cooking…he is lovely 😀. The room was equipped with shampoo/conditioner/body shower. The location is great, as it is close to the beach and to the main central area. They offer free bikes for rent and beach towels, which is genius. I did not find it particularly noisy, besides the Saturday but if you want to be central you need to consider there will be nightlife as well. Everything is walking distance, you don’t necessarily need a car, although I wanted to visit cenotes , etc. I was by myself so I found it safer to ask the hotel helping me booking transfers, which they did. Taxis are extremely expensive, I therefore suggest you rent a car or use other transportation instead. The girls at the desk were always available 24/7 and extremely helpful. The girl from the night shift was very sweet and welcoming 😀 Claudia which was there daytime has been professional and proactive. I will definitely recommend staying there 😍

Everything was simply magical - one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had, especially for the rate we paid. From the beautiful tropical paradise in the center courtyard to the friendly staff cooking a delicious breakfast for you as if you were family, there’s a lot to love about this place. I genuinely felt cared for and felt the staff were working hard from their hearts to show their care for the hotel and its visitors. The rooms were also comfortable and well equipped. The tea, coffee and snacks service available at all times was wonderful as well. Really going to miss having my coffee every morning in the rainforest. Thank you so much!

It was better than I expected, but the noise coming from people coming up and down the stairs wasn’t ideal; I wish other guests would respect the noise level.

The location was beautiful! A true oasis in the middle of busy playa del carmen. La semilla I had a fantastic experience at La Semilla hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. The spacious and comfortable beds ensured a restful night's sleep. The beautiful courtyard where breakfast was served felt like a tranquil oasis, enhancing the overall sense of well-being. The daily varied breakfast was excellent, adding a delightful touch to each morning. I highly recommend La Semilla for a memorable and comfortable stay.

The location is great, a block off the main street so it is more quiet, but easy to walk to the main restaurants, bars, and fun. I also feel like the bars and restaurants right near this hotel were more authentic and affordable than the main strip. Alejandro was so helpful and made us feel very welcomed and gave e valuable local insights. The included breakfast was also the best food I had my whole trip! 5 stars:)

The shower head could have had more water pressure or maybe be cleaned from build up, but it really didn't bother us

Great location on the edge of the downtown area. Beautiful hotel, really lovely setting and decor making the most of the nature round about. Very much an urban oasis. Very nice, small rooftop terrace for sunbathing. Loved the breakfast, simple but beautifully served in the open air setting.

Showers/hot water were a bit hit and miss Suffered very badly from the mosquitos despite using repellant. The openness to the adjacent forest is charming but probably unhelpful in this respect.

refuge in the midst of playa del Carmen this hotel felt unlike much of the rest of the spaces in the area and offered quiet greenery Gabriel accommodated my vegetarian diet on mornings when main breakfast dishes were meat, I am told his breakfast burritos are unparalleled (and hope in the future I may have a veggie version). Claudia was such a kindness when my friend was ill and could not leave the bedroom

The location is really good! The hotel is near the beach and also right next to Quinta Avenida! The place is comfy and cozy - having breakfast close to nature is a plus! The room feels like you're staying at a friends' house, it has a familiar feeling to it.

Just and observation, the room does not have a mini fridge, so we could't cool our water bottles. We had some sort of problem and had to take cold showers for a day - but the weather didn't make us suffer!
