Hotel La Semilla, Playa del Carmen, a Member of Design Hotels

Excellent location and unique decorations and gardens.

We feel scammed, we booked a king sized bed terrace room based on the photos, since we wanted to avoid the dark rooms that appeared on the photos of the most basic room. To our surprise the photos shown on booking are not the same, we were given the dark basic room we were trying to avoid, WITH A SMALL BED!!! When we talked with Alexis he told us to leave our bags made so they could move us to an appropriate room, but when we came back we were still in the same room and Britto blamed it on us and on airbnb...horrible experience really. The room was tiny, dark, small and super hard bed, old pillows and the ac was placed directly in front of the bed so there’s no way of using it at night without getting the cold air directly into your face, horrible room design. We could barely sleep. There’s a very popular restaurante next door, la cueva del chango, and our bedroom window was right on top of the tables, super noisy. There’s only one parking space for the whole hotel, and it can be reserved, it’s for the car that comes first, keep that in mind. I don’t know if other rooms are less horrible, all I can say is...avoid room number 2, we feel scammed for not getting what was shown on the photos, or the bed size. I DO NOT RECOMMEND
