Absolutely Wonderful Stay! Five friends (all women) were there celebrating my best friends bachelorette party. From the welcoming by the hotel staff all the way till our good-byes, and everything in between was great! The breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety. The room was left spotless every day after the chamber maid came by (her name was Rosa).... more

We found La Tortuga after doing lots of research on this site, and stayed there last May when we got engaged. We loved it so much that we chose to stay there with our guests for our wedding. There were 9 couples total and we felt like we owned the place. Both of us work for a major hotel chain,... more

This hotel was amazing! It was homey and relaxing. The staff were wonderful, and we loved the free breakfast every morning. Definitely recommend the fruit plate and whole wheat pancakes. Dinner was also excellent, especially with the hotel guest discount on top of the already reasonable prices. The bed was super comfortable. We had a junior suite on the 3rd... more

Just got back yesterday from Playa. We have stayed at many large hotels that were beyond belief in services offered. The La Tortua is by far now our favorite, even given it's small size the staff can seem to never do enough for the guests. We never once encountered anyone without a smile on their face. This hotel is the... more

My husband and I spent six days in Playa and were so glad that we stayed at La Tortuga. It was our first time to come to the Yucatan without being on a ship so we booked our stay based on Tripadvisor reviews. Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Bernado and Lisa were especially helpful with telling us where to... more

Typically we stay in all inclusives, but we want to experience more of Mexico. We chose La Tortuga based on all of the reviews on this site. We stayed 3 nights (a bit too short) in a superior jr suite. The bedroom was smaller than I expected, but nicely appointed. The bed was very comfortable, the tv and air worked... more

Stayed at La Tortuga in mid June while in Playa for a wedding, traveling with my brother. Had read good reviews and agree that the hotel is a great find. Staff - cannot say enough, they were excellent, friendly, helpful, and well trained. Anna in particular was great and helping to make arrangements prior to the trip via email. Laura... more

Staying at La Tortuga was one of the best hotel stays we've ever had! Eight of us stayed there in May/June 08 for our wedding (coordinated by the hotel's wedding planners, Caribbean Blue Weddings, which we highly recommend), and we couldn't have asked for a better hotel for this very special occasion! From the beginning, our emails to Anna Bassi... more

We traveled to Mexico for our honeymoon in June of 08, the first 2 days we were there we stayed in Tulum, south of Playa, it rained but it was nice anyway. We had stayed in a cabana that had no electricity and it was pretty humid. It was excellent for winding down but I was ready for some action... more
