Wonderful breakfast and fabulous location. Beautifully designed and comfortable throughout. An absolute haven full of magic. Incredible rooftop terrace. I loved my stay and can't wait to return.

Nothing, it was exactly as pictured and described! The gentleman who worked the front desk was kind and helpful working to get our room cleaned for an earlier check-in, as we arrived quite early in the morning.

The staff and the property at Hotel La Semilla was warm, welcoming, and charming! Each person we interacted with was kind, helpful, and always had a smile. The jungle setting and the courtyard where breakfast was served was elegantly decorated with string lights and vintage bistro-style tables and chairs. One of the best parts of this experience was the two-course daily breakfast made by Valeria and served by Claudia! The fruit was so fresh and beautifully arranged on our plates each morning. There was yougurt with a varitey of seeds and granola, along with whole grain bread for toast, and delicious homemade jam. There was a cooked egg dish for our second course, incorporating specialities from the Yacatan and the fresh squeezed juices were amazing! The soft neutral colors of the rooms and wood features made them elegant and invited you to relax and unwind.

Everything was great

The property is quiet and beautiful. The staff was amazing! We rented a car and there are 3 spots available. Sadly we only stayed one night but i would definitely boom here again

A great location, conveniently located very very close (20 meters) from La Quinta Avenida (but not in the crowd and busy part) , 300 meters from the Beach. A magical environment, the breakfast is served in a patio in the garden, everything is very “organic”.

We loved this place, we will definitely book there if we return to Playa del Carmen. Breakfast was great, and the chef accommodated every ask we did. The staff was brilliant and took effort to make everything was to our liking.

We were told that if we wanted to have the room cleaned we had to request it explicitly every morning at the reception; however one morning we overheard two of the employees complaining at the fact that one guest had requested his room to be cleaned despite it being relatively clean, which set a poor precedent. We felt almost guilty when we ourselves went to request for our room to be cleaned. They had claimed that this was due to the environment but we honestly do not see the environmental impact of someone making our bed and completing general housekeeping and superficial cleaning, which was essential due to the amount of insects that roam everywhere due to the humidity of Playa del Carmen. One of the most funny experiences was one evening, when we walked in and all of the lights were off in the reception, and given their commitment to energy saving, we frankly thought it was some eco-friendly policy. It was only when we got to our room that we noticed the emergency lights were on and suspected that there was a power outage in the whole building, but we thought it would be odd that the receptionist did not notify us when we greeted her and walked past the lobby. It was only after we came back and enquired that she told us that in fact, the whole street had lost power and that it would be back in half an hour or so. While this is obviously out of their control and we understood their circumstances, it was their lack of communication with the client that shocked us a little bit. However, the chef and the young lady at the restaurant (breakfast) the last day were 100% lovely.

The room was gorgeous and very comfortable, the location was perfect, the shower and the water pressure were excellent, and some of the staff members were lovely.

There was not a person always at the door. It might create security issue.

Breakfast was great, the forest was nice. It was like a home. The smell was awesome.

I cannot think of anything I did not like about the property. We were there in May. While it was very hot. The gardens provided lots of shade which helped. There’s also a refreshing pool to swim in. The air conditioner in the room worked great.

This is an incredible property. The rooms are nestled in a leash garden setting with beautiful plants everywhere. The grounds are manicured constantly. The owner clearly loves her property. When we arrived, adrian gave us a tour. He spoke fluid English and was as nice and as helpful as anyone could possibly be. The restaurant is fantastic. The employees are super kind. At 5:30 in the morning an array of birds begin to fly from tree to tree. This is the best place to stay if you want to visit Chichen Itza. There are cenote close by. A taxi cost about five dollars. They have an array of spa services. When I return, I will definitely stay there. If you want romance, this is a great place to stay. If you love nature, this is a fantastic place to stay. Obviously, I loved it and my wife did too. Wake up super early and go to the ruins right when they open to beat the crowds and the heat. My wife and I own EatTravelGo.com based in LA Ca USA and we paid full price to stay there. It was a great value.

Absolutely sensational! We honestly were in awe with how amazing this hotel is. It looks even better in person than in pictures and seems to be very freshly built. Everything was clean, you can’t hear anything from the street outside, it’s in prime location. THE STAR THOUGH IS THE BREAKFAST! It’s made to order and is delicious!!! We were very sad to leave and wished we could stay there for another day! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Small appliances like a hairdryer is not available in the room. That being said the staff was helpful and found one that I could use. The cleaning products used is quite strong and not a pleasant smell, takes a while to settle down. No elevator and carrying suitcases to the top floor was tedious however the staff assisted with the luggage.

A charming property with a quaint garden. Rooms are clean and spacious. We booked the room with a terrace and got the top floor room with a nice balcony overlooking some greenery. Sound proofing is pretty good and we were not disturbed during our stay. Good breakfast available at the hotel with many restaurant options in the vicinity.

It was better than I expected, but the noise coming from people coming up and down the stairs wasn’t ideal; I wish other guests would respect the noise level.

Everything was simply magical - one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had, especially for the rate we paid. From the beautiful tropical paradise in the center courtyard to the friendly staff cooking a delicious breakfast for you as if you were family, there’s a lot to love about this place. I genuinely felt cared for and felt the staff were working hard from their hearts to show their care for the hotel and its visitors. The rooms were also comfortable and well equipped. The tea, coffee and snacks service available at all times was wonderful as well. Really going to miss having my coffee every morning in the rainforest. Thank you so much!
