DETAILS TO NOTE
- Please be aware that seaweed is a natural phenomenon that hits Quintana Roo beaches, especially during the summer months (Apr-Oct). While the local team at El Faro and the municipality do a great job in cleaning it up, it can affect your ability to enjoy the beach and the ocean, so please make yourself aware of the current state of the seaweed, as we cannot offer refunds for issues related to seaweed.

- The central location of this property gives you access to the best that downtown Playa del Carmen has to offer. Due to our location next to restaurants and bars, you may experience some noise at this location. We do not offer refunds for noise issues. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay!

- The beach in front of El Faro will come and go seasonally, at times the ocean comes all the way up to the deck and the common area administration will block this area for security purposes. Please exercise caution and comply with any common area association rules.

- Your booking automatically includes a damage protection policy. Should any minor accidental damages occur during your stay, we will cover you up to $1,000. We understand accidents happen, so we've got your back! However, if we determine damage was willful or negligent, we will charge an additional cost based on the damage itself.

- We have a no-tolerance rule about parties and loud noise, so please be aware that complaints from neighbors, notifications from authorities, notifications from our noise monitoring software, or any other proof of disruptive behavior or loud noise between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM will result in fines of up to $1000.00, possible eviction and / or possible legal action if authorities are involved.

-The beach condition changes every day, weather and hurricanes tend to affect how wide the sand area is in our photos- sometimes the water reaches up to the deck.

- Please note that due to El Faro's security protocols, before your arrival, we will request a photo of each guest's ID that will be at the property during your stay.

Have any questions about our home or location? Please let us know! We hope to host you soon!

Great updated unit.

We loved the unit views and balcony. Sadly, the jacuzzi jets did not work very well. Also, the amount of seaweed on the beach causes difficulty enjoying the beach in front of the property. The beach is more enjoyable closer to the pier.

Wonderful view and sea breezes

We enjoyed our stay by the sea at El Faro. Check in went well and resort was as pictured. Our host Benjamin was friendly and responsive to all requests for kitchen items, water, etc. There were a few issues: washing machine did not work, all beds hard, and every night extremely loud music from the next door restaurant/bar continued late into the evening- had to keep the sliding doors shut.

Wonderful Property and Staff

We stayed in PDC for a few days before moving onto Akumal. This place was a perfect start to our trip. The unit was clean and all the staff were very helpful, from the garage security, to the front desk (Carina was great to work with) to cleaning and maintenance. Very impressed. We will return to this location. Thanks again!

Incredible Location and Views

This location is amazing. The grounds, pool, and property were immaculate. Everyone who works on site was so nice and professional. The condo was perfect for our family. We were able to grocery shop just 5 blocks away at Walmart and use the kitchen for breakfasts and snacks and mixing cocktails. Our views were insane. Watching the sunrise every morning from our deck with coffee in hand and hearing the waves crash on the beach was awesome. The management team and staff were 5 star. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Spectacular view!

The view of the sea from multiple balconies was spectacular. Easy check in, spacious, short walk to many restaurants, and the music from the neighboring beach club was actually a nice addition (only heard it from the balcony, not the bedrooms). A couple of cons about the area—first time in Playa Del Carmen and they built very close to shore line so not my favorite walking beach; very crowded on the weekend; condo is fixing a walkway in front of the pool so there is some unattractive tape in front of the view between the pool and sea.

Mesmerizing views!

We had an excellent stay - so easy to get to the center of Quinta, Wal Mart and all the shops and restaurants. No need for a car at all. View was magnificent. We enjoyed listening to the live band at Zenzi bar next door while sitting on the balcony at night. Once inside the condo, it was barely audible and never kept us awake. The only negative was the full bed in the second bedroom (farthest from the bathroom) had a big dip in the mattress, and after the first night, my sister in law resorted to the couch to sleep at night. We loved that housekeeping came every other day and kept towels and paper products stocked. Also, the in unit washer/dryer was a huge advantage! Bottled water was also well stocked. Would absolutely stay here again!

Summer break

Overall, we had a wonderful time, it is unfortunate that there is so much seaweed on the beach, but there is not much to do about that. We ended up not getting the room reserved due to electrical issues and the new room had its own issues resulting in the need to work with management continually. They were responsive and seemed to do their best, but it was disappointing.

Great View

This condo is right next to a beach bar. The music can get a little loud of an evening, but it didn't bother us. It didn't impact our ability to go to sleep. If you wanted a very quite place, this condo might not be for you. The beach and pool were great! We didn't have a car and it worked out fine. We could walk the 4-5 blocks to Wal-Mart and then took a 100 peso cab back to the condo. There's a cab stand with posted prices (a little high but at least posted) which was nice. The TV in the living room was a smart TV and it was great that we could easily watch Netflix and other things. I would definitely go back.

What a view!

El Faro Surf 309 has to have one the best views in Plays Del Carmen. The moment you walk in the door you are surrounded by water. Jeffery with 5 Star is awesome. Great communication and easily switched our date of stay to accommodate our travel itinerary. Everything was great except the beds in our room. We definitely expected better. We actually slept on the couch a few nights because the beds in the condo were that bad. Which meant we had to listen to the very loud music from across the street. The noise isn’t terrible in the bedrooms but the living room is very noisy until around 4 am when the DJ stops playing. With That said, we would stay at El Faro again, but probably in a different unit.

The Best!!!

We stayed at the property for 3 nights, 4 days. The property is in an excellent location, next to food, shops, bars, and the beach!! You couldn't ask for a better location. Everything is within walking distance. The condo was very spacious and with great accommodations. What is the best part of this unit? The balcony and its views!!! It was amazing to wake up early to see the sunrise on the beach balcony. Amazing!! As far as what the condo provides: towels, beach towels, all the kitchen gadgets and appliances you might need for your stay, and a huge plus, drinking water. We rented a vehicle and the option of having where to park it was a huge plus for us. A/C worked amazing during our stay, beds were comfortable, washer and dryer provided were also a huge plus. I can't say enough good things about this condo!! Communication with the property manager was excellent and the personnel that work on the property were always accommodating and super friendly. Don't sleep on it!! Book this unit! You won't regret it!
