The Shore At 46th Hotel

The Shore at 46th is my go-to location to stay in Playa Del Carmen Sybil

Great pool. Great room. Great staff. Better than expected.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at The Shore at 46th Hotel. The location was perfect, so close to the beach and away from the noise of 5th Ave but close enough to walk to everything. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. Only two things that could be improved: the hot water in the shower was not constant and the bed was a bit hard for me. Everything else was great. The unit was spotless and had everything I needed. I also really appreciated the beach passes to Martina Beach which was so nice. Thank you for everything. I will be back.

Great location in Playa de Carmen and easy access to centro and 5th street. Was there for three nights and would stay again if in the area.

i arrived at 3:01 pm on february 21st. upon arrival they told me to wait. at 3:25 pm they gave me the room 109. i went upstairs and saw that it had only 1 king bed and 2 double beds. i went downstairs to complain because i reserved an apartment with 3 king size beds because we were two couples and our mother in law. at first the guy at the counter told me that NO, what i paid wasnt the price for a 3 king size bed apartment. i showed him my reservation where it said CLEARLY that there were 3 beds and he told me "oh yes we have a problem with expedia and that is wrong" i told him that that was not my problem because i paid for 3 king beds so in the end he told me that they didnt have more space for us and the only thing they could offer was to convert the sofa in a bed. HORRIBLE. then the internet of ROOM 109 for some bizarre reason never worked and we had to take internet from the routers from other rooms. when i went down again to complain now for the internet a lady with yellow ends in the hair asked me "why are you so mad" i was like really do you want to go there? very rude woman during all our stay. the first day nobody went to clean the rooms. and there was no soap. so we had to call many times to the reception i have to clarify that the rest of the staff is nice except from that lady. but the very basic hotels aspects of these place are bad. EXPEDIA do something about this 3 beds no 3 king size beds. never happened before to me

The pros: Spacious, tasteful decor, nice appliances and kitchen utensils. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke English. Luis and Omar deserve special mention. But if you phone the front desk and they put you on hold, it might be forever. So hang up, and go down and talk to them in person. The hotel is near the beach, stores for groceries and produce, two convenience stores, and some restaurants. Our suite had a safe. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, unlike most places near 5th Avenue. For hot water, turn the taps clockwise. Then wait. Very patiently. The housekeeping service was acceptable, but we had to be proactive in requesting and obtaining toilet paper and some missing towels. The cons: The in-room wifi connection was sometimes good, but often unusable. It frequently disconnected, especially in the evenings. The wifi in public areas seemed better. Also, the gym was fairly well equipped, but it is closed from around 10 pm to 9 am. They open the roof-top lounge at 7:30 am, so why not open the adjacent gym too? Regarding the roof-top lounge, the music was always too loud, so we avoided the lounge altogether. Quiet background music is what they need. Also, the hotel has no laundry machines. The stairways are not all well-lit, and there are no handrails. Beside each stairway are glass panels that have some sharply angled corners. I cut my hand on one, so avoid touching them. Except for the unreliable wifi, most of the issues are minor, and I recommend this hotel.

It was a very nice hotel/residence. It is more of an airbnb. It is quiet and relaxing. A couple of minutes away from a beach club. And you can start walking 5ta avenida in 5 minutes. the room was cleaned everyday. The room had 2 bedrooms both with king beds. And 2 living rooms with sofas. A/C worked great. Counted with fridge, stove, dishwasher... really good stay for the price.

Positives: Our housekeeper Gabby was incredible & honestly made our stay at The Shore at 46th Hotel bearable. We left her a very nice tip as she is the only person at the property who seemed to be able to fix any of our issues. The room was very clean & modern just like in the photos. The pool is beautiful & has a nice view. The 2 bartenders/servers at the rooftop pool bar were very professional & provided attentive service. Negatives: The front desk was useless. The wifi in our room did not work our entire trip & cellular service/data couldn't reach our interior courtyard room on the 1st floor. We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights & made the front desk aware of our wifi outage multiple times per day. Each day they told us that "maintenance would come to the room." Maintenance only came to the room once that we saw & they wedged a wifi router in between 2 pieces of bamboo outside (exposed to the elements) on our patio. Even this did not fix our issue. I understand that some people go on vacation to "escape & get away from the world" but that is not possible for us as small business owners. We have to be able to check in on our businesses daily while we enjoy vacation. This hotel should not advertise free wifi when it is not obtainable in EVERY room. I would have rather the hotel invested in infrastructure for the wifi & charged us $5 per night to use it & it ACTUALLY WORED. Cocktails at the rooftop pool bar start at $8USD. The food is average & overpriced.

I didn’t have hot water for almost 24 hours. We booked a unit with 3 king size beds, however we only got 1 king size bed and 2 double beds! I was told they don’t have any unit with 3 king size beds.
