The hotel has a beautiful beachfront location with lovely ocean views and a cozy beach bar, but some aspects need improvement. While the rooms are spacious and the bed is comfortable, the limited hours for air conditioning and lack of staff presence at times can be frustrating. Overall, it serves its purpose for a budget stay.

This hotel is a charming little gem with amazing staff who truly go above and beyond for guests. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the beachfront bar offers great service, especially if you're a fan of ceviche. However, the experience can be overshadowed by issues like inconsistent air conditioning and unexpected extra charges, which detracted from an otherwise lovely stay.

This little boutique hotel is an absolute treasure! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We loved the beachfront bar and the delicious Peruvian ceviche, but be prepared for limited air conditioning hours and not much hot water. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and truly felt valued during our time here.

My stay at Playa Canek was a mix of good and bad experiences. While the beach bar had a fantastic atmosphere and the location was beautiful, I faced significant issues with service and communication. The rooms were comfortable, but the lack of staff made assistance difficult at times. Overall, it's a decent option if you prioritize location, but be wary of service shortcomings.
