Luxury Modern Playamar Villa Great Location Views, Wi-Fi
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Playacar
We fell in love with the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Playa, with its beautiful Caribbean beaches and friendly laid back lifestyle
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
As soon as we saw the house, we knew it was right for us! It is wonderful to have such a tranquil location, where the only sounds are the tropical birds, but still be within a short walk of the town, beach or beach club. At the end of a day on the Caribbean beach, return to Casa Selva Caribe to watch the sun set over the trees or swim in the large pool!

Fabulous Place to Relax and Unwind

This is a fantastic place to come back and relax after a nice stroll in downtown playa del carmen (also not far to walk, if you want to go to the restaurants / shops on 5th avenue), or after a day on the beach or a longer excursion into Yucatan! We especially liked the the tasteful furnishings and the equipment in the kitchen. There is even a blender to make smoothies or cocktails and in the garden there's a large BBQ, where you can prepare a meal while spotting exotic birds in the adjacent trees. There really is everything you need! Comfortable sunbeds, an extra balcony, a very nice bathroom with a whirlpool and lots and lots of space. And if you want to go for a quick swim but not in the sea, there is a shared pool just outside the front door. All together there is really nothing to complain about! We had a fantastic stay!

This villa more than lived up to expectations. It was spacious and light, and very comfortable. After a long journey we arrived when it was dark, and were amazed the next morning to see spectacular views of tropical birds just yards away from our balcony. The villa is spotlessly clean and well furnished, the beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped, with containers of purified water delivered frequently. It's in tranquil surroundings with the delightful pool a few paces from the door, and well kept grounds surrounded by forest. The beautiful beach is a short walk away past some Mayan ruins, and the main restaurants are within very easy walking distance. There's no need to hire a car, but we wanted to explore the region and the villa is a great base for visiting the Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba and Chichen Itza. We also did some excellent snorkelling in the lagoon at Akumal, just 30 minutes away. We would definitely recommend this villa to a friend or relative. The owners are extremely kind and helpful and made a fantastic choice when they chose this property.

We have just returned from a great week's vacation at Casa Selva Caribe (2 adults, 3 teenage boys). The villa is in an excellent location just 5 minutes walk to 5th Ave and 5 minutes walk from the caribbean sea. The standard of furnishings was excellent and the property was presented to a very high standard and kept cleaned throughout the week with maid service every other day. We used the management company to stock the fridge for our arrival which was great. The location of the villa beside the aviary and golf course was great, waking up in the morning to the sound of tropical birds was magical. Playa del Carmen is an excellent vacation location, safe and very friendly. The restaurants are first class and the scuba diving is great. Make sure you go on a trip to the Mayan ruins at Coba. All in all this property is the ideal place to stay to enjoy Playa del Carmen and the surrounding are. We have no hesitation is recommending Casa Selva Caribe to others.

We had 14 perfect days in this great, clean,spacy villa (family of 4 with two grown up kids). Very nice that the house was equipped with purified water and the most common spices for cooking. Lots of towels and cleaning every second day was perfect. At first we had troubles finding our way to the beach, but with a little help from the nice and helpfull nabo we found it. Only the birds in the nearby 'jungle' was a little desturbing in the morning. All in all a great accommodation, very well equipped and good location.

We had such an incredible time in your villa. First, the reservation process was a breeze and we received really helpful instructions before we left. The villa is gorgeous - light and spacious and very well equipped. The pictures don't do it justice. It is in a perfect location: 5 minutes walk to the beach (past very cool Mayan ruins) and 5 minutes to town. We were celebrating our birthdays with some dear friends and cooked many lovely meals on the grill, just relaxing by the pool -which was 3 steps from our door! The concierge, Juan, was super helpful; every need was cared for immediately and he even sorted out skydiving and deep-sea fishing for us. We couldn't have picked a better home for the long weekend and we will have beautiful memories forever. Thank you!
