About Hotel Las Golondrinas
Situated just a couple of minutes’ walk from Playa del Carmen’s beach and pier, Hotel Hotel Las Golondrinas is a charming traditional Mexican property offering comfortable accommodation and warm hospitality.
The rooms have a clean and simple design, but feature lovely traditional touches that add a bit of colour and interest. They feature all you’ll need for a great holiday, including cable TV and free Wi-Fi, so you can stay informed, entertained and connected.
The hotel’s star feature is its adorably cute little courtyard and pool, the ideal spot to sit back in a sun bed and enjoy the tropical weather.
A full American breakfast is available at the hotel every morning.
The main area attractions have to be the beach and pier, both just 700 yards from Hotel Las Golondrinas. The area is especially well known for fishing, and charters are available for this purpose. The famous “Fifth Avenue” shopping district is just a few blocks away.
Positive Reviews
positive:
Very good central location
This was perhaps what guests liked most about the hotel. It was described as being in a very central location. While the beach was a couple of minutes away, this short walk bothered no guests. They also mentioned that the commercial district, including the famous “Fifth Avenue” shopping area, was well within walking distance.
positive:
Kind and helpful staff
The overwhelming majority of guests felt that the staff were a credit to the hotel. They were described as very friendly and always willing to go out of their way to help out their guests when approached with a query or concern.
positive:
Charming traditional atmosphere
Quite a number of guests remarked that the hotel had a very genuine Mexican feel to it. They said that, unlike many hotels and resorts in the area, this one had a true local atmosphere and attracted not only foreign sun seekers, but local travellers as well.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Ongoing construction works
Guests travelling as late as June 2016 reported that there were some pretty major construction works going on at the hotel. Of course this resulted in both noise and dust. The completion date of the work is not known, so guests are advised to check with the hotel beforehand.
negative:
Very poor Wi-Fi
A number of guests had issues with the Wi-Fi system, with the main complaints being that the signal was not strong enough to reach all the rooms, and that even when there was a signal the system was still slow and unreliable.
negative:
Breakfast a bit disappointing
Quite a number of guests mentioned that they really didn't think much of the breakfast served at the hotel. It was a bit too bland, making some suggest that others would have better luck taking their breakfast at a nearby café or restaurant instead.
