Hotel Hulku

The common spaces are super lush and green with all the tropical plants you can imagine. It was really nice. The hotel itself is old, like it’s probably been in Playa del Carmen since the beginning lol. The rooms are dated, especially the bathrooms which are really small. The shower situation kinda sucks and although the water is hot, it’s super hard to adjust the temp. Also the shower curtains are no bueno and the entire bathroom gets wet. As other folks mentioned, the wifi sucks. But it’s close to everything and the staff were nice. There is free breakfast and it’s pretty good. Basic but good. Fruits, coffee, fresh juice, breads and eggs. Can’t complain about that part. I would say that the price is a bit steep compared to what else is out there but it’s a fine place to stay for a short while. It is loud tho. Like really loud if the bars, clubs, establishments around it happen to have live music. The first night the music was so loud it was impossible to sleep. Not the hotels fault but bring earplugs.

Beautiful hotel but INCREDIBLY NOISY during the night. The music is SO LOUD almost like you are in the club itself. I could hear the music, the base and people screaming or singing by the songs EVEN WITH EARPLUGS ON! There are no words to describe how annoyed I am. We would have asked to change rooms but it felt that the same noise would be everywhere in the hotel area. And they didn't show any willingness to help or reimburse when we expressed our frustration. The least they could do would be to offer good quality earplugs but they didnt, and my partner didn't have any. I cannot believe they rent rooms as hotel rooms, for people to sleep in them...nor that I have paid money to endure this. Totally not recommended for people who are here to explore and don't want to party every night till later than 1 am. Not to mention the bedsheets...they were not long enough to cover the entire bed!! which means that our feet were touching the bed..which was both disgusting and uncomfortable as you could feel touching different textures during the night. Oh and they have a fridge, which would be nice if it was actually plugged in....so totally USELESS the first day and the cleaning personel took it OUT of power on day 2...so no cold drinks any of the 3 days we stayed there. Speechless. The parking was ok even though limited to until 22.00 and the staff was overall friendly. 2 stars for the effort they probably put to preserve the jungle looking garden. We would NOT come back to this hotel.
