Hacienda Paradise Boutique Hotel

Our night at Hacienda Paradise in Playa del Carmen was an interesting one. The boutique hotel is on a fairly busy side-street in north Playa--and with all the one-way streets, it took us a bit to find it.
Pros: Clean; cool room furniture; free breakfast; pool (too cold to use on this trip); great bathroom & shower; found a street parking spot right infront of the hotel; hard beds/mattresses--but it didn't bother me at all;

Cons: Located on a busy side-street and half of the room doors are on this street, out in the open; a glass pane next to our "window" A/C was broken, so that let the noise in even further; no hot water for my 5:00 AM shower--I went back to bed and called at 7:00 and they fixed it; had to pay $2.50 for yogurt at breakfast--but it was worth it;
