Fantastic Stay
Myself, my 2 kids and my mom and dad came down for 12 days. The suite is nicely decorated, the beds are comfy. There is everything you need for cooking and when our blender wasn’t working Dana had another one for us that very day. You have a view of the pool from the balcony. The pool is perfect for the kids and we ended up spending most of our time there. The nice little added touch was the floaties and body boards in the suite for us to use. There is a 7/11 across the street for anything you need. It’s quiet and safe here. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk away. My only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Well located in tourist zone
It is just minutes to the beach and to the pedestrian street. Because the building is on the interior of the others, you do not get the noise from the rowdy bars around the corner. Decor is nice, a must when I select a vacation rental. Three split A/C units, so everyone will be comfortable. The bed is OK by Mexican standards but guests from north of the border will find it on the firm side. Lots of beach stuff -- towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear. The access to the development is secure and there is a young man there morning and evening to help and keep an eye on things. Be sure to tip him. The safe was left locked so we couldn’t use it, a feature I always look for when selecting a vacation rental. It was never restored. Second bathroom sink drain and toilet need some attention to be fully functional, but that was not addressed in a twelve day stay. There is a combo washer/dryer in the unit, but no instructions to help you through the maze of buttons and settings. We found some documentation on the internet but after considerable flailing. Overall a very good place to stay.

A comfortable spacious Apartment in Playa Del Carmen
The apartment is spacious and charmingly decorated. The bed were comfortable according to all my guests. You can’t beat the location if you like to be in the centre of things. Mamitas beach is just three blocks down and the hot spot for dining and shopping, 5th Avenue, is just two blocks up. The property manager, Dana, and, and her assistant, Yamila, are worth their weight and gold and provided timely, thoughtful assistance. The only drawback is that the pool area is very small and can only accommodate 3 to 5 people at a time. However, with the beach, so close, it hardly mattered.

Great stay!
This is a very comfortable and attractive condo with an ideal location near the beach and 5th Avenue restaurants/shopping. Parking was convenient at the property, and overall conditions were quiet and secure. The ownership and management went above and beyond to help me out! ... friendly and accommodating. This is a great value in terms of quality of the condo, location/convenience, and attentiveness of management. I would definitely choose this one again!

Nice, safe place in prime location. Smooth check in. Confusion with transportation. The smell from the pipes was an issue. But we found a solution: closing all drainage wholes and covering with towels. Overall we recommend this place.

Excellent location and great accommodation! Friendly and helpful owner and property management
My husband and I, along with our two children (ages 16 and 13), spent a week at this condo and it was a perfect place for our family. A couple of blocks from the beach and a block from a plethora of restaurants and shops. The condo was well appointed and spacious. Two beds in second room was a big plus for our teenagers. Owner and manager friendly and helpful. We rented a car for a few days so could leave it parked in the gated area. We felt very safe and would highly recommend to anyone.

When can I go back?
This condo met all our expectations and then some. It had lots of pots and dishes and beautiful glassware. A water cooler and hot water dispenser even. The beds were super comfortable large couch for lounging. Great internet, with android box even local calling phone. Proximity to the beach is excellent, very safe condo. Our hosts Alex and Natalia, as well as our concierge Nahiely were very attentive and responded quickly to any concern. We had family in two other condo apartments and ours had the best service by far!!! Hope I can return in the future!

We had everything we needed and more...
We loved this condo. The location couldn't be better as everything is a short walk away. There is easy access to the beach, to the stores and to the restaurants and cafés on 5th Avenue. The condo itself lacked for nothing and it suited our family of four perfectly. The kitchen is well-equipped and there are two big bedrooms each with its own full bathroom. There is excellent wifi service. The concierge Nahiely was there to greet us and show us around when we arrived and was reachable any time if we needed anything. Natalia responded quickly to any questions I had so the booking process was quick and simple. Would love to stay there again.

GREAT PLACE, GREAT LOCATION!
My family of 4 (My wife, a 20 and 16 year old, and myself) spent a week at this unit in July 2017. The owner, Natalia, was very responsive to my inquiries during the booking process which was very smooth and easy. The concierge, Nahiely, was great and quickly smoothed out any bumps along the road we came across. The location is great in that its just a block or two from Mamita's Beach as well as 5th Avenue. If you don't feel like going to 5th Ave to eat, there are many options on the ground floor of the building as well as just down the street. There is also a pharmacy and dive shop within steps as well. We rented a car so having a gated courtyard was wonderful as it kept the vehicle safe from any accidents on the street and we did not have to struggle with finding a parking spot whenever we returned. The unit was great, beds were comfortable, furniture and décor was very nice, the Wifi was good and everything worked. In the hot and humid days, even with the air conditioners off while we were out and about, the unit retained a rather cool temperature. It was nice not walking into a sauna like condo. There were lots of towels and beach equipment available at our fingertips. The pool is small but very nice. My wife and I spent a few evenings there and had it all to ourselves for the most part. It was a nice way to cool down after long hours out doing excursions prior to changing and heading to 5th Ave. We enjoyed out stay and would not hesitate staying at this unit again.

Very comfortable condo
We spent 5 weeks in this unit & thoroughly enjoyed it. The internet ,which is important to us,was excellent. There was about everything in the kitchen that you would need to for a prolonged stay. We balconies were a pleasant place to spend our time. The beds were comfortable as well as the living room furniture. The location was very convenient to the beach & 5th Ave. (4 min. walk each way). This was a really good experience for us.

Disappointed
We booked this unit for 3 nights from Jan 1-4. Upon arrival, there was some sort of mix up and the manager representative did not meet us at the gate. We contacted him and he told us we were not suppose to arrive until 5 pm which we had never told him. After a short time he did arrive and let us into the condo. Unfortunately as soon as we entered there were concerns. There was old food on the Stove, counters, and dishes stacked in the drying rack. There was old soap in the showers and opened mini bottles of shampoo in the bathrooms. There was only a small amount of drinking water in the cannister. There was old, musty smelling linens in the washer and dryer. When we pointed this out to the manager he said that there had been an issue with the cleaning lady and he would send someone back the next day and left. We were actually uncertain if the unit had ever been cleaned between guests. In retrospect we don't even know if the sheets were changed between guests as our daughter found stains on her sheets. The pool did not appear to be running and was full of leaves. We contacted the owner and she was very responsive and appologetic. She contacted the management and tried to resolve the issues for us. The next day unfortunately it wasn't until 5 pm that housekeeping came in, as we were wanting to get ready to go out to dinner. Management left us a bottle of wine to appologize on our second day. We needed to leave the unit at 0500 in the morning to get our flight, when we contacted the management asking for check out instructions, they responded that they would come meet us at 4:45 pm. We emailed them back immediately to let them know they had the incorrect time but no one ever contacted us back. Throughout this we were were keeping in touch with the owner who was as helpful as she could be and very appologetic for our experience. Over all the unit is exacatly as pictured and is a very short walk to the beach. The location is very good to great restuarants and the business of 5th Ave. Unfortunately based on this experience we would not book in this building again or recommend it to friends of family.

Very good!
Well-equipped and conveniently located apartment with reliable wifi and cable. The pool was great way to cool off after a day at the beach. Air conditioning worked well and filtered water provided which made the stay comfortable. Why only four stars then?Our vacation was sorely interrupted at times by a ridiculously and obnoxiously loud group of guys renting the apartment above. The issue was with the supposed noise curfew of 10pm. This was not well enforced at all and there were a few nights (not even weekends) that were horrible because we were woken several times due to screaming parties right above the unit...crazy crazy loud screaming and music coming from an apartment of drunken guests at 230am who were not responsive despite electricity cut offs and multiple gentle warnings by the security guards left to deal with the belligerent borrachos. The management could be better about enforcing the rules they make clear to renters especially after we texted clearly our complaints of the noise. Management should make very clear that drunken partiers should not rent from the same community as families if they plan to disrespect the rules.

Amazing Location
We were greeted by the agent who explained everything fully about the apartment and where we could find things that were local. her recommendations were all superb and we ate at some fantastic restaurants. She was always available for any other questions and requests. Apartment was literally steps from the beach and round the corner from Fifth Avenue which is the main thoroughfare filled with restaurants and shops. We were very happy with our stay and would not hesitate to recommend the apartment. Thank you.
