My stay at Hotel Basico was definitely unique and enjoyable, with friendly staff and a vibrant atmosphere. However, the noise from the rooftop bar and street was a downside for me, making it tough to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, it’s a great spot if you're looking for a lively experience in Playa del Carmen.

My stay at Basico was an overall fantastic experience, with stunning design elements and a vibrant atmosphere. The rooftop bar and pool were highlights, and the staff's friendliness stood out. However, the music and street noise at times could be intrusive, particularly if your room overlooks the city rather than the courtyard.

The rooftop deck was gorgeous and a great place to relax, but the noise from the DJ at night definitely made it less peaceful. Still, the ambiance was fun, and there were good food and drink options available.

I recently stayed at Basico in Playa del Carmen, and it was a mixed experience. The hotel’s design and use of sustainable materials are stunning, and the rooftop bar is a perfect spot to unwind. However, the room issues, including a non-opening window and noise from the street, detracted from my experience. Overall, Basico is a visually appealing hotel, but it could improve in several areas.

My stay at Hotel Basico was a mix of highlights and disappointments. The location is prime, just a block from the beach and on the main strip, which made exploring so easy. However, I ran into issues with the room including the window not opening and the hot water situation. Overall, it had its charm but some drawbacks I didn’t expect.

The rooftop pool offered nice views but was not exactly well-kept, which was disappointing. I expected a bit more effort in that area since the place overall felt chic.

My stay at Basico was a mixed bag of vibrant energy and some noise issues. The hotel is stunning and well-maintained, with a unique design that really captures the essence of Playa del Carmen. However, the noise from nearby clubs can be disruptive, especially if you're looking for a quiet escape. Overall, the friendly staff and fun rooftop vibe made it a nice experience, even if I wouldn't choose it for a peaceful getaway.
