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.
