Booked this on priceline for $85 but probably could have gotten a bit cheaper price by going direct. We needed a cheap hotel for an extra night before our vacation was scheduled thanks to a blizzard in NYC.The place was clean, a quick 15 min walk down to the main drag/beach (that gets little dark and desolate on the walk...

Holiday Inn Express has been our early destination in the sun for 3 years. We found we could fly down on Thursday for so much less than on Saturday we could stay at the HIE for no cost; then ride to our timeshare. The hotel is clean and neat, and we walk under a mile to reach 5th Avenue, the... More

This hotel is very convenient to the main north-south highway in Playa del Carmen -- right at an exit. It is also within walking distance of the town shopping district and only a few hundred yards from a very large shopping center. Excellent stay.

Clean room, comfortable very large bed. Desk staff understood enough English to help us. Nice selection of food for breakfast which was served from 7 o'clock. Pool a bit small. Coffee maker in room if you like black coffee. Safe in room. No fridge. Ice from reception. Free wi-fi in lobby. Not far from Xcaret by car.

I didn't see the point in paying for an all inclusive expensive hotel for our first few days in Playa Del Carmen as we were out and about sightseeing so I booked the first 3 days at HIE Playacar. I secured a good price on the Holiday Inn Express website for less than £50 per night. The hotel was as... More

The hotel was fine. Ok room, good bed and nice albeit smallish outside pool. The problem was that the hotel charged my credit card for two extra nights and hasn't admitted their scam/error. They didn't answer my e-mails about this extra charge at all before I asked the IHG chain for help, then they answered that they had all the... More

We stayed at the HIExp in Playa during the Christmas season of 2012. It was a very clean and comfortable hotel The daily breakfast was good and complete..albeit a bit too consistent as we stayed 6 nights and ate almost the same everyday. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and friendly..spoke good English as well.
