Room was cleaned most days of the 5 day stay.
Breakfast buffet was good - we stayed for 5 days and it was the same food every day.
Had cash stolen and hotel only refunded 50 percent.

No thank you.
This is a motel at best. It should be rated above a 1 star. Needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

I’ve stayed at this property a few times they only give you a sheet on the bed as a blanket. The pillows are horrible. The rooftop pool was closed and found two cockroaches.This property is going downhill from the first time I stayed

After showing them multiple confirmations, they still couldn’t find our reservation and told us no resort fee perks and whole roof bar and pool closed. We left and went to another bad hotel next door for 1 night and then booked a higher price hotel for 2 week stay.

Don't stay here!
Let's see, There's no windows in the room! The WiFi went down my second night and never came back. Pool was closed. They were Jack hammering with work. I left a very expensive dress shirt when I checked out. Went back the next day a it's gone. Stolen!

Past it's prime
I loved the look of this hotel, architecturally it's quite unique. However it's long past its prime.
The rooms have a sewer small, the bedding was stained, the walls had gouge marks, and the pool was drained and out of commission.
There are some bizarre elements such as a hot tub right next to the registration desk, an old Mercedes coupe in the back of the lobby, and all the plants are dead or dying.
Breakfast is cheap, but terrible.
Someone opened my door at 4am on my first night. I have no idea what that was about and complaining to the front desk resulted in no reaction.
The location is good though, and fairly quiet for Mexico.

Such a nice hotel in Playa Del Carmen. Staff is very friendly. Natalia was great. She helped with everything we needed. Room is unique, sexy and comfortable. Rooftop is such a vibe! Loved the Open Bar on beers. Close to 5th Ave which is close to everything.

Contruction, roof patio and pool closed. bad service, no coffee maker, toilet broken, no fridge. picture had balcony and they said i didnt get one, they gave me one eventually. no blankets in the room, but asked and got one. shower was great. came back to the room after a fun day at the beach and the security chased me to my room and asked where my bracelet was I said they never gave me one, it was uncomfortable. stayed there before but its gone down hill

HORRIBLE, My 14k gold ring was stolen, I had to go to the police station to make the report, another guest from a different room got 5000 pesos taken as well. Management didn’t offer any help. The hotel is no longer name Reina Roja the actual name is Kavia and has different administration, also it’s under renovation and the construction workers are left wondering around the guest hallways and rooms all day with no staff supervision, since is getting renovated throughout the day you are unable to sleep due to the loud noises that they make. This was the worst experience that I ever had. Total nightmare. I had stayed in La Reina Roja before and NEVER had an issue before until now that is called different (KAVIA) very disappointing at EXPEDIA for misleading us with a false advertisement and not be updated of the new changes.
