Location: Pueblito Escondido, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (Located on Great Beach in Playa del Carmen in Riviera Maya.)
Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Beach Condo
Luxurious, large, 1 bedroom condo (1150 square foot) located 14 steps from the beach, next to the Mahekal Resort (formerly Shangri-La). If you know Playa del Carmen, you know the new, trendy area is the north end. Located at the end of a cobblestone beach access road at the beach, you are located at the best stretch of beach in the entire Riviera Maya.
The views from the infinity pool are 180 degree ocean views. The view is nothing less than breathtaking. There is a huge ground level pool with day beds, many chaise lounge chairs and umbrellas, and a bar area with tables in the shade. The rooftop is stunning with an infinity pool, many lounge areas with couches and over sized chairs in the shade, with tables, huge solarium seating area, and chaise lounge chairs, all with a view that will knock your socks off. The rooftop is for the use of about 20 condos, but is huge and can easily accommodate many more.
The building has a side beach entrance with outdoor showers and easy access to outdoor restrooms, all within 19 short steps to the beach. Step out to the beach, turn right and 2-3 minute walk down the beach and you are in the middle of happening Mimatas Beach Club with great beach side cafés and all the action that is Mamitas. Turn left and less than a minute walk down the beach and you begin a stretch of beach with very few people. This entire area, left and right, is free of rocks and seaweed…it’s just sugar white sand and the most aqua blue water you’ve ever seen.
Inside the condo, you’ll have a spacious unit with two living areas, dining area, granite kitchen, separate bedroom, large bath, walk-in closet, and terrace overlooking the palm trees and cabana roofs of Shangri-La. A wall mounted 42" plasma TV with cable and DVD player as well as a CD stereo add to the amenities inside the condo.
This property was built in 2007 and designed for holiday guests, and has a lobby with a reception desk. When you arrive you won't have to search for the property manager's office and then make your way to a residential condo building. Just walk into the beautiful lobby and collect your programmed key-card. This building is fully staffed much like a hotel, with 24 hour reception, security, and maintenance. You will enjoy a resort setting with flowers, beautiful landscaping, and amenities you just won’t find in a residential condo building.
Pueblito Escondido is an exclusive property for the discerning client seeking modern luxurious comforts without the crowds of a hotel. The property has many common areas that are what you would expect to find in a 5 star resort, at a fraction of the price.
This oversized one bedroom unit at 1150 sq ft is larger than most 2 bedroom condos in Playa del Carmen. What you get in most condos is a tiny living area and super small bedrooms. The open floor plan of this condo includes a living area and a seperate media area with a wall mounted 42” plasma TV with cable and DVD. The dining room has a large dining table with 4 chairs and the kitchen bar has bar stools for casual meals or that evening margarita. The living and dining room combined create one large expanse of windows and sliding doors that overlook a long private terrace the length of the unit. The well appointed master bedroom has a stately four poster bed, a flatscreen television, a large built-in closet crafted from local hardwoods and a stylish bath. No detail has been overlooked in the design and layout of this contemporary condominium.

We liked the look of the place from the pictures but were very pleased when when arrived and the unit and the rooftop were even better than the pictures. The condo was huge with a very clean/hip feel to it. The bedroom had blackout curtains and a super comfy king bed. The rooftop pool area was beyond expectations. The views to Cozumel were surpurb, the ocean view so vast we could see the curve of the earth! We didn't want to leave the rooftop but the beach in front of the condo was so nice, we were torn between the two. We thought the location at the newer part of Playa on the north side of town was the best place to be. My wife loved the yoga garden next door and the Curves downstairs. Looking forward to returning next year...if we can wait that long.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks in your exceptional and quiet (!) condo. We loved the spaciousness, the great bed, the comfy sofa and chair, the lighting, except in the bathroom (there the light is extremely unflattering), the view from the living area over the thatched roofs of the Mahekal resort across the street, the view from the infinity pool over the ocean, the comfy lounge chairs on the roof.... The beach was so wonderfully close. I went for a one hour walk every day at sunset, north, away from the resorts. Coming back I found that the side door which leads to the shower did not work and the staff never got it to work during the 2 weeks we were here. Also, the first 2 days the water stopped twice all of a sudden, but that never happened again. The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful. And Isabel, the maid, is a delight. This is one of the best condos we have ever stayed in. Thank you!

What a beautiful property. We knew we wanted to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in Mexico, decided to do something different from the large hotels in Cancun and were luck enought to have found Pueblito Escondido on vrbo. So close to the beach, beautful facility, OUTSTANDING staff, the roof top infinity pool was unbelievable and the proximity to the beach, restaurants and Mega market/Wal Mart was hard to beat. The help you provided was much appreciated in regards to transportatin from the airport, not renting a car and the availability of taxis. Snorkeling right off the beach among the moored boats just North of the property was an easy walk also. Problem was, we onlt rented for a week and could have easily spent another 3 days. For an easy lunch or dinner, try the always 2x1 margaritas at Bip-Bip, at 5th & Constitutines and easy walk south on the beach and up just a block-the corn chips and salsa are unbeatable. We had our 25th anniv dinner at Wickies, a fantastic upscale dining option,located on the beach at the "lighthouse". Hope to see you again soon.

This condo is located very close to the beach, just steps away as advertised. The views from the rooftop pool are beautiful. The condo is clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It is located in a quiet area. It is a short walk to Fifth Ave. where there are many shops and restaurants. We were very happy with our choice and would rent this condo again when we return. Thank you Dave and Perry!

We loved Pueblito Escondido. The condo was roomy, clean, and tastfully decorated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool is amazing. The view from that pool is incredible. Even though it is at the north end of 5th, it is still very walkable to just about everywhere. The owners were very accomodating, as we had several flight changes due to the flu craziness. Also, the price is very reasonable which enabled us to stay 10 days instead of our usual 7 day vacations. Another plus is they have umbrellas and chairs to take to the beach, you just have to ask the front desk. We loved it and would definately rent this condo again.

It's a brand new condo, with an awesome location, for not a lot of dough. We had a very good deal on it (read hundreds less than what booking directly through Pueblito Escondido would have cost us for the same unit!) and for that money currently you can't beat that for such a luxurious 1 bedroom condo in Playa, let alone one that is steps from the beach. I definitely recommend it.

A wonderful vacation get away. The condo is clean, big, spacious, bright, well decorated, and very modern. The building is clean, bright and truly is steps away from the beach. The roof-top pool was great, with a beautiful view. This place has an excellent location, with a short walk to 5th Avenue with all of its shopping and restaurants. We had a great stay and would recommend this place.

I am almost hesitant to post a positive review only because I know I'll never be able to secure another long stay here again! :) It was absolutely perfect. The pictures do not do it justice- the condo is HUGE and gorgeous. If you need a place to stay in Playa, this is DEFINITELY the place to be. Perry and David are wonderful! Thank you gentlemen for making our holiday so special.
