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.

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 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.

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. 🌴😞
