"“We hope you adapt to our bohemian philosophy,” say the staff at Hotel La Semilla, by way of explanation when guests ask why rooms have no televisions (there is, however, Wi-Fi and AC). With distressed walls and furniture, the hotel has a shabby chic feel (or, as they describe it, “rough luxe”), and owners Alexis and Angie treat all guests as friends. Part of the room rate is earmarked as a donation to the Friends of Sian Ka'an, a conservation group dedicated to the preservation of the nearby Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve."

I was really excited to stay at Hotel Semilla and had booked three nights because I love boutique hotels and the aesthetic of the property. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was frustrating. Our room wasn’t ready, we were initially given the wrong room, and then shown another that didn’t match our booking. We had reserved a quiet garden-view room but were first placed in a front-facing room on a busy street. There was also no assistance with luggage up three flights of stairs, and when we asked to be moved to the correct room, the staff made it feel like a major inconvenience. When we were finally moved, the room did overlook the garden, but it had a double bed instead of the queen or king stated in our booking. The room was cute but lacked basic amenities like a mini-fridge and sufficient filtered water. The biggest issue was the poor soundproofing—late into the night, nearly 4 a.m., loud bass and music from nearby venues made it very difficult to sleep. Breakfast was the highlight of our stay. The breakfast staff and chef were warm and welcoming, and the food was creative and well prepared. However, after a very loud night, we asked about cancelling our third night and were told it wasn’t possible, as this is simply a loud area. We chose to check out early and forfeit a night for our own comfort. This hotel has a lot of potential, but improvements in guest service and soundproofing would make a big difference.

I had a poor experience at this hotel, and I'm usually very easy to please. This place has superficial chic decor for an Instagram pic, but it doesn't meet basic requirements for a comfortable stay. Second night I got home late from a wedding and I just wanted a hot shower before bed. I ran the shower for 10-15 minutes; the water was cold. I reported this downstairs, the person fiddled with some pipes & things, and signaled that he got it working. It wasn't. The next day was even worse - there was no water at all! The room had mosquitos and first night I got at least 4-5 bites: I did not sleep well, had to wear long sleeves, socks and a hat as if I was camping. The Internet was unreliable; it failed right in the middle of a zoom meeting and I had to use my cellular data. The staff, while nice/friendly, is hard to communicate with; they don't really understand English very well. Management should hire people who speak better English for a location like this, filled with American tourists. On a positive note, the breakfast was very good. Its hard to believe this very run-down place is affiliated with the Marriott. Looking through the other reviews, the same issues I've reported have surfaced month after month.

We had the most amazing time saying at Hotel La Semilla. The location was perfect! So much choice for good restaurants and being at the start of 5th avenue and near the beach meant it was so easy to go out and have a good time. The room was clean and very cute, even in the rain everything felt peaceful. Everyone at the hotel was so accommodating- especially the host Claudia who was lovely and helped us book a great excursion to Chichén-Itzá. The chef consistently made an amazing breakfast and also brought out the most delicious cake I've ever had for my birthday which made everything even more special. No faults and would 100% come back to stay when we return to Playa del Carmen.

Lovely Hotel stay. Exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. Let me be clear, this is not a luxury hotel! Some things don't work properly and some things may need an update. La Semilla is a rustic, calming, peaceful experience where there is a beautiful balance with nature.||I stayed in the suite (room 9), which was highly spacious with a pleasing aesthetic and nice terrace. View from the bed was green and bats, birds and squirrels could be observed depending on the time of day. Lighting was ideal.||Mosquito's in the room was an issue, they would sneak in once doors were opened and hid in the bathroom or shower room - I should have been more diligent.||Staff are helpful, friendly and attentive, Their english isn't great but they tried their best (my spanish was worse than their english). Breakfast was tasty and chef managed to cater to my vegan diet without any issue. Snacks and drinks were available through the day. The rooftop was good and the courtyard area was devine!||The location is perfect; on the "prettiest street in Playa", 5 minutes from the beach, next to a 7/11 store, and also seconds from the main tourist street of Playa.

One last breakfast at La Semilla Hotel in Playa De Carmen. Every day started with a bowl of fruit and a home-made plate of the day. Today, vegetarian tacos, which were, as everything else all week, amazing.||The room was comfortable with a great bed and terrace.||I'll miss this place. A nice hotel in the center of everything with a courtyard that feels like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the street.

We were charmed by the lush green plants and the small design details. It’s simple and rustic and adorable. It’s off the main pedestrian street that crosses Play Del Carmen which means you can access the crazy when you want but don’t have to always be in it.

A lovely boutiques hotel close to some really good restaurants, bars and the beach. The room was quiet. The interior design is quite unique. Your stay includes a breakfast which was really good. The center garden is gorgeous. Staff was very helpful and nice. I highly recommend the stay
