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 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.
