Customer Service Beyond pleased with the attentiveness and friendly staff at this hotel. They get to know you by name, knowledge of the area and assistance with all request. I wanted to surprise my bf for his birthday since I had to come home before him. I reached out to the staff. Response was immediate, paid over the phone and made it happen! He was so surprised. Every person we engaged with was friendly and always had a smile on! Thank you all so much! Definitely would recommend this little gem!

¡Excelente servicio! El equipo del hotel te hace sentir cómodo y seguro desde la recepción, y eso es súper valioso para los huéspedes. La habitación muy limpia y muy cómodo todo. Los precios accesibles y la ubicación hacen de este hotel la mejor opción para los viajeros. ¡Muchas gracias por todo! La próxima vez que visite Playa del Carmen, me hospedaré de nueva cuenta en este hotel. ¡Saludos!

Amazing boutique hotel We absolutely love Cielo. Very clean rooms with a Mexican flair. Great air conditioning and super comfortable beds! We love the rooftop to have some quiet time. Over looking the sea that is one block away. Love people watching on the famous 5th ave. Beautiful huge palapa on the roof also for lounging in the shade with the breeze of the sea. Washroom with a really neat door on the roof. We love the location. Recommend Hotel Cielo to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay.

Volver al paraiso No estábamos seguros del regreso,sin embargo después de hospedarnos 10 dias en este pedacito de cielo una vez más regresamos a casa felices y seguros. Con algunos cambios tras Covid nos dio gusto sentirnos en casa en un lugar amigable y cálido como siempre. Gracias a todos x tantos detalles,recomendaciones y cuidados. Especialmente a nuestra camarista y al equipo de recepción que nos facilito nuestra estancia. Volveremos!!

Wonderful Boutique Hotel I've been visiting Hotel Cielo for 10 years, and once again, the staff did not disappoint. It feels more like visiting friends than staying at a hotel. Everyone knows your name, and the owners Steve and Alejandra are highly visible and engaged with their guests. The hotel is extremely clean, and is located at a perfect location, right on 5th Avenue and less than 1 block from the beach. You can see the ocean and sand right from the hotel. Don't hesitate to consider Hotel Cielo for your next stay in Playa del Carmen

They take care of their people. They take care of you. Cute boutique hotel with that authentic Mexican feel that's getting hard to find. When I heard how well they are taking care of all their staff during the tough COVID season, it spoke volumes. Many places cut their people or dropped them to nominal wages. Hotel Cielo didn't. If you like supporting places who support their people and do everything with integrity, be their guest... Plus, the food downstairs is some of the best in Playa.

Better than home! This spring pre-Covid we visited Hotel Cielo. It was so cute and the staff was so nice. The owners even are there and take time to talk with you. Its cozy and so different from big resorts. We can't wait to go back. I loved the natural decor and not wild loud colors.

Great experience I took my wife on a surprise get away to Mexico playa del Carmen. I researched a hotel that had numerous likes and great reviews. I chose hotel Cielo. When we got there it was better than expected. The rooms were absolutely beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The hotel was right on the main avenue that had every type of restaurants and stores. We were right down the street from the ferry going over to Cozumel. The hotel has a really great roof top lounge that you need to experience. I give hotel cielo an easy 5 stars.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND Just to be clear, Cielo is my favorite hotel in Mexico by far, even though it is not an all inclusive because it doesn't have to be. The building is a great representation of Hacienda style living with lush gardens within, exceptionally clean with special touches like handmade soap and shampoos in the rooms and housekeeping personnel that are at the top of their game. The service is second to none, the food at the in house Carboncitos is stellar, the drinks here are cold and tasty. Proximity to anything you may need is just steps away in any direction and the beach is just 50 feet east. Yes I am partial, and probably swayed a bit, but: THEY HAVE EARNED MY BUSINESS with downright good, clean and honest accommodations . Be sure to say hi to Steve, the owner and tell Him, "Chicago Joe sent you"....

FORBES

“Stretch your dollar in this laid-back Cancún respite, offering diving, snorkeling, shopping and primo sunset-cocktail spots–not to mention inns from charming to chic, like Hotel Cielo…”

CNBC

The rate at Hotel Cielo , another three-star resort, drops to $79 a night in August. That’s a far cry from the Hotel Esencia… which costs about $615 a night in August.

THE TIMES

The classic is served on the rocks — shaken, never blended — in a salt-rimmed glass, and made from tequila blanco, fresh lime juice and cointreau or triple sec. One of the best is sold in Carboncitos Bar, at Hotel Cielo, in Playa del Carmen.

HUFFINGTON POST

For traditional Mexican, try Carboncitos (4 Norte, between 5th and 10th avenues), where the people watching is as good as the flank steak burrito and $6 jumbo margaritas!

EXPEDIA TOP 10

Their stunning tiled rooftop, overflowing with plants and architectural quirks, is a huge selling point and offers spectacular views over the sea. Hotel Cielo also maintains a certain level of Mexican charm, with wrought iron railings and tiled floors, yet also manages to inject contemporary touches into the quaint bedrooms.
