Hotel La Semilla on Postcard

"“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."

Great, calming, and peaceful stay! The staff was incredibly nice to us, always attentive and welcoming. The garden is a tranquil oasis, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The rooms are beautifully designed, reflecting a true boutique style. We especially loved the delicious, typical food prepared by a local chef—it was an authentic experience! I would definitely recommend La Semilla to anyone looking for an intimate experience with attention to every detail. Loved everything here and can’t wait to return!

This boutique hotel is a treasure amongst treasures. The rooms are decorated with so much attention and the setting of the hotel in lush green is a paradise in itself, created with a great respect and love for nature. Such green tranquility in the middle of a lively street full of great restaurants. The breakfast is fantastic. Señor Gabriel makes a different main dish every day which is a feast for the senses and was very thoughtful to us being vegetarian. Mr Brito from the reception made us feel very welcome and it truly feels like your home being away from home. We will be back soon

Our first stay in Mexico and we are beyond thrilled that we chose Hotel La Semilla. Despite being right by the famous 5th Avenue, the rooms are quiet and face away from the thriving evening life. ||The room is comfortable and has everything you need. We had a couple of questions in the first few days regarding the room, but the staff were quick to help us resolve these. ||The breakfast is exceptional. The chef is very kind and considerate and provided the most wonderful fruit plates and eggs every morning. Muy bien! ||The gardens are just stunning and transport you from the busy streets of Playa to a jungle paradise. We were also lucky enough to see Coatis playing in the trees from our room and from our breakfast table! ||The restaurants around the hotel are just lovely - we preferred a lot of the lunch menus to dinner, but both were excellent. ||Could not have asked for a better base on our trip - thank you!

Beautiful hotel with amazing jungle garden courtyard seating. It’s very small and quaint. The location is awesome, you walk right out the door to many restaurant and bar options. And it’s a very short walk to the beach. The courtyard patio is beautiful with many plants and trees. There is only breakfast served so you have to eat off site for meals. Our only real complaint was the lack of water pressure, it made it very hard to wash our hair. This is a nice relaxed spot if you are not looking for a resort or resort style service.

It was great. My room was perfect and had nice cold air conditioning. Close to everything. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Would go back again. Provided water in room for drinking and nice toiletries in the bathroom. Bed was comfy and had a great view and a really cozy and pretty area for coffee and breakfast.

The best hotel I have stayed in and such an amazing trip. I would highly recommend staying at the hotel la semilla. I could not fault the hotel and Breakfast was just perfect. ||The location was fantastic so close to the beach and to the restaurants I felt perfectly at ease travelling by myself and can honestly say I have felt safer here than anywhere else.

Definitely a place to stand out in the area. Very attentive employees, spacious rooms, great full day bar with tea and dry fruits/fruits selection. Rooftop terrace, a lot of privacy, tasty breakfast and once again ppl who work there making you feel like home. Hugging atmosphere. Parking available.

The hotel is central yet secluded. Our room was quiet with excellent air on and breakfast was sublime. The staff were very friendly and were able to offer late check- out. Excellent restaurants are within a short walk. Right after the hurricane the room got flooded a bit one night and there was ho water for a couple of days.
