Large interior pool area, hot tubs, pool area shower and restroom.
Location: Via 38, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (Walk 5th to Town Center/Ferry to Cozumel; 1/2 Hr Cancun)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 4)
The brand new, very luxurious condo complex Via 38 is located in Playa del Carmen, on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. It is just south of Cancun and it's international airport. Locally called "Playa", this is a small city along the best beaches in the Caribbean. Rates listed are at a large discount for the first year of availabilty!
Via 38 is brand new, especially luxurious and spacious. There is an exceptionally large, open, landscaped common area with semi-Olympic pool, hot tubs, gazebos, gym, private underground parking, and manned, 24 hour security. Our unit, A-13, is on the second floor, with it's own private elevator. Large at 1150 square feet (125 square meters), it has two bedrooms each with private bath and balcony. A third half bath is close to large living and dining area. Full kitchen with all appliances, granite counters and bar look out thru glass wall with wide sliding doors and curtains, then past the extra large front balcony down to the pool area. Lots of light! Central air conditioning, HD LCD TV. Our host agency can arrange anything: tours, car rental, diving and snorkeling, meals prepared in Condo, nurse, more. A one minute walk to the beach. We are in the quiet end of town, on famous 5th Avenue. Stroll down the pedestrian mall, by shops, restaurants, and coffee houses.
Unlike so many travel destinations, Playa does not feel "touristy". A height limit of three stories eliminates towering hotels as in Cancun. Yet Playa is much nicer: very international, it has everything from luxury shopping to local handicrafts, restaurants of every cuisine from fine seafood to French, Italian, Japanese, and Argentinian steak houses to sandwiches, vegetarian, inexpensive local fare, and still more. Explore nearby Mayan ruins, (Tulum, Citchen Itza, Xcaret, or, others equally as large, but lesser known - and less crowded), Xian Kan Biosphere Reserve, Palancar Reef (second largest in world), Cozumel Island. Diving, snorkeling, swimming in warm tropical water, complete relaxation on white sand beaches. Nap in shade by the pool. Have a local chilled cocktail. For a few days, or a month, A-13 in Via 38 is time very well spent.

Hi Bruce, We made it back last night and all the three of us can say is, "that was a great vacation!" Everything worked out just fine! The Playacar staff was great, especially when I locked Heather's engagement ring in the safe with all our passports on the first day! On that note we left a small cooler (fits a surprisingly amount of Sol) and thermos in the condo for others to use and hope that it will stick around for our return trip which we are in the process of planning. All in all everything was great! give us a couple months and we'll probably want to get talking about booking some time for the next trip. Thanks again for opening your place t us!

Hi Bruce, It was all good! The condo was very nice. I had high expectations and it exceeded those! Despite the great beaches, we managed t get some time in the beautiful pool at the condo. Found your binder compilation of things to do, restaurant recommendations, etc. quite useful. We hit a couple of the local restaurants you recommended and found them very good and of great value. Just so you know, should your condo be available for rental next year, you very well may be hearing from me again. Thanks again!
