I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Alux. The beautiful Mexican design and peaceful courtyard were perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. While the bed wasn't the most comfortable, I appreciated the cleanliness and reliable hot water in the showers. The prohibition on alcohol might seem strict, but it maintained a nice tranquil atmosphere that I really enjoyed.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Hotel Alux. The location was fantastic, close enough to the bus station and only two blocks from 5th Avenue. The rooms offered great value-very clean and spacious, though I did wish for a little more brightness. The only downside was the noise from a connecting room. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a budget-friendly stay in Playa del Carmen.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Alux Playa Del Carmen. The location couldn't be better-just a quick walk to 5th Avenue, which is packed with nightlife and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, though it was very basic and didn't have all the amenities I expected, like a working AC and sometimes the internet was spotty. Overall, for the price and location, it was a good value. I'd likely return if I wanted a budget-friendly spot.
