I stayed here with my sister, and we booked it in advance based on the pictures on the website, which make it look really nice. When we got there, it was clearly much more run down than it looks in pictures and everything smells like bathroom disinfectant, which doesn't quite mask the smell of the bathrooms. There is a pool,... more

Even though it was fairly inexpensive, I was disappointed in this hotel. We were on the fourth floor with no elevator, right on the busy thoroughfare. The first night I could not get to sleep as people were partying and mariachis playing right below the window - and it was even closed. The beds were a bit saggy and the... more

Jungla Caribe is right on the main drag - 5th Avenue. So, there is quite a bit of noise coming from outside. But that was the least of my problems! I found the noise coming from inside the hotel overwhelming. 5:30am I was awoken every morning by the sound of a thousand glass bottles crashing. The employees could be heard... more

Are you looking for a budget hotel in Playa? This is it. You can´t get cheaper and nicer (at the same time), than this one..... I run into this hotel when looking for accomodation for 2 nights in Playa. I have looked into 7 different hotels, and checked every possible web site back at home, before finding this one. And... more

I spent 2 weeks in this really awesome hotel! Nice, friendly and clean place. Unique furniture and rooms. Great personnel. If you want to spend a cosy, relaxing vacation, this is the place to stay at! Romantic dinner in the courtyard with delicious mexican food, or just walk to the beach and take a swim in the ocean. Bärbel, thanks... more

I've spent three weeks in this lovely place! Even though it's on Calle 5, it's a very cozy and laid back place. The interior is just overwhelming with its spectacular garden. If you are hungry, the restaurand "Jaguar" also located in the same place is one of the best choices in PDC. Hotel and restaurant are run by the very... more

Jungla Caribe is the Chelsea Hotel of Playa del Carmen. Kind of scrappy and funky but charming none the less. And, like the Chelsea Hotel of NY, it cries out for thrifty artists and poets to appreciate its homey authenticity. Nothing fake here. Character Abounds. Pretty much a bare bones deal, my room was clean, and had all the basics:... more

Since its inauguration in 1995, when I discovered this then complete unknown marvel in playa del carmen, I was immediately fascinated by this very charming place. Every room a little piece of art - individally furnished with great taste - a place where you feel at home right away - with a little jungle inside, a very good restaurant but... more

Just returned from a quick getaway (2 nights) to PDC. Jungla Caribe was a quick pick because we booked last minute (The night before we left). The hotel was exactly what you should expect for the money, basic. Our room was clean and the service was great. All the reviews hold some truth, but you have to remember, these rooms... more
