Avoid this hotel like the black plague
Where do I begin? At hotel Kinbe, I got $400 dollars stolen out of the safe in my room along with my cell phone. The hotel employees are the only individuals who have access to the room; however, the owner took no responsibility whatsoever. She would not help at all, and blamed the missing money on myself. She was very rude.
Also, workers started hammering nails and working on the hotel every morning at 8:30 and continued throughout the entire day.
One morning our hot water went out and we were stuck taking cold showers and another day our electricity was out so we had no a/c. It was 115 degrees outside, so you can imagine how hot it got in the room.
There are lots of other hotels in the playa area that would be a much better choice. My advice is to avoid hotel Kinbe, try to find a place you can trust. Getting all of your vacation money stolen on the second day is not fun...believe me.

Hotel Kinbe
The hotel was beautiful. I'm an artist from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, so I really appreciated the added touches in the rooms-paintings, bathroom fixtures were really cute-the garden was beautiful-AND, the roof-top view is AMAZING! I met many local friends in Playa, I brought them to the roof top, and they were shocked and amazed! The loctain was absolutely ideal!! Right by the beach, and right next to the popular 5th ave. The restaurant right out the fornt door of the Kinbe was great-staff, everywhere, wre great!! For the price, Kinbe is MORE than worth it. The room I was in, on the 3rd floor was perfect!! I did smell mildew in one of the rooms on the first floor however, next time I go, I'll book a room on the second-no big deal!
