Playa del Carmen- Casa del Shiva

I lost almost a hundred photos when one of my cards became corrupt. Unfortunately my pictures of Playa were on that card. Should I ever recover those photos I will update this post.

After an eventful day we decided to spend the evening in. We returned on the ferry and drove to our hostel: Casa del Shiva. It took us a while to find it as it’s on a side street and not well marked.


Overall we were happy with our time here and will likely return should we find ourselves in Playa del Carmen in the future.

Pros:

  • Very clean
  • Pool
  • Free (and yummy) breakfast
  • Nice lounge area (with TV, DVDs etc.)
  • Free Wifi
  • Large Rooms
  • Nice owners
Cons:
S
  • A bit far from downtown
  • Only accept cash
  • Can not eat in room
  • Showers smell really badly (plumbing issues)

The pictures here are an accurate representation of the property!

Before we settled in for the night we decided to go out and get some dinner and chose a small family run Chinese place down the street. The food was really good and cheap!
