My stay at Illusion Boutique was decent overall but had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the location is super central, just a short walk from the beach and close to plenty of restaurants and bars. However, the breakfast situation was pretty disappointing, and there were issues with room maintenance. The noise from nearby clubs can also be a bit much if you're looking for peace and quiet at night.

I stayed in room 501, which had a stunning view and felt private, but the showerhead was quite frustrating as it sprayed water everywhere. The room was spacious and had all the amenities I needed, though the lack of a functioning elevator was a hassle after a long day.

The front desk staff were generally friendly and accommodating, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. I did have a problem with room service regarding towel replacements, which was odd.

The hotel is perfectly located just steps from the beach and 5th Avenue, making it easy to explore Playa del Carmen. However, you definitely have to deal with loud club noise if you’re on the upper floors.

Breakfast was a major letdown. It was located at a different hotel a short walk away, but the options were really basic and service was super slow. I didn’t find it enjoyable at all.

The rooftop pool area was nice, but the bar was never open during my stay. I appreciated that the pool was cleaned daily, though it wasn't very deep.

My stay at Illusion Boutique had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and lively 5th Avenue. but the facilities felt outdated and in need of attention. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist me, which was a highlight of my visit. However, there were some issues with the breakfast and the pool hours that could definitely use improvement.

The room I stayed in felt private and spacious, but the elevator was out of order, which made getting to the fifth floor quite a workout. There were some maintenance issues like an unreliable showerhead and a non-functional safe, but overall, it was clean.

The rooftop plunge pool was a lovely area, but it closed early, limiting my opportunity to enjoy it after long days of exploring. The overall maintenance of some facilities appeared lacking.

My stay at Illusion Boutique had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, just a minute away from the beach and close to great restaurants and nightlife. However, my room was less than ideal, with issues like a shaky hot water supply and a view into another building. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly staff and good breakfast options, I left feeling that the hotel needs some upgrades to match its prime location. 🌊✨

I had a fantastic stay at Illusion Boutique, despite a few minor hiccups. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk from the beach and right in the heart of downtown. My room was spacious, extremely clean, and comfortable, while the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, I did experience some noise from nearby music venues, which affected my sleep quality a bit. Overall, it was a good getaway! 😄
