I'm baffled as to how this hotel is rated as a 4-star establishment—it barely meets the standards of a 3-star. My stay at The Palm at Playa del Carmen was incredibly disappointing. The condition of the bathroom was appalling; the shower was nearly non-functional with little to no water pressure, and the drainage was so poor that it left the floor a wet mess every time. It's clear that the management needs to invest in new towels and improve their laundering practices. Noise was a major issue throughout my stay, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the staff was consistently rude and unhelpful, contributing to an overall chaotic and unorganized environment. The management seems completely absent, and it feels like no one is in charge. I would not recommend staying here unless you want to waste your money and have miserable experience.
