Condo has POOL and is CLOSE to the BEACH! Read our reviews!
I cannot post a link but if you google for a Playa Del Carmen street map in the travel yucatan, you will see a very good street map to see how close it is to everything!
The unit is located in the Oltreoceano complex Street 10Bis North, between 15th Ave North and 20 Ave North Our condominium complex is directly below WalMart 2 streets over from the Yellow block which says Plaza Ayuntamiento
It is one of the more quiet and centrally located buildings in Playa only 2 short blocks to 5th Avenue and 5 to the beach. We are also only 2 short blocks from Walmart which is convenient for walking to get any supplies you may need. EVERYTHING IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE! Clubs, Coco Bongo, restaurants, beach, 5th Ave, shopping, ADO bus terminal, ATM, everything! Our building has a private pool and terrace area with very nice tropical plants. The building is very well maintained. We have a full time maintenance and gardening.
This is a great rental for a family with small children as the pool is inside our gated courtyard and just below our balcony in full view. The pool is very quiet and rarely used by other guests.
Within 10 minutes of the condo just a few blocks away is the ferry to Cozumel - You can walk to it. The ferry runs continuously all day long for those interested in the fantastic reef diving in the warm crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. 1 and 1/2 blocks from our condo is the bus station (from where you can travel to Mayan ruins, TULUM, Xcaret, Xel-Ha, the Biosphere Preserve, CANCUN, and many secluded beaches with terrific diving and snorkeling) as well as any water-sports that you care to enjoy.

If you have any concerns, our management company speaks, reads and writes; English and Spanish They are only a phone call away. They provide airport service, babysitting service,maid services are all available for an additional fee.
You don’t need to rent a car, direct bus service (ADO is the company, nice charter bus with air conditioning) from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen is very inexpensive.

In Playa
Once you arrive to the bus terminal on Calle 2, you can either walk or take a cab for about $3.00 usd to our condo. The streets (Calles) run in increments of 2. Walk to 10 Bis from the bus station and you are on our street. The condo name is OLTREOCEANO.

We stayed 5 days at the end of April 2013. Everything went smoothly, from the very first email until the security deposit refund, two days after came back home. Our contact in Playa del Carmen helped us with all we needed. Very reactive. The condo is really charming, practical and the location couldn't be better. Very clean (and easy to let cleaned) also. We wish we can return one day. There are so many things to do nearby ! Thank you a lot ! Muchas gracias ! Merci beaucoup !Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.

The condo was beautiful, looks just like the pictures. And it was about 2 blocks from the main avenue and beach, but far enough away that it wasn't too loud. We made good use of the kitchen and selection of movies! The pool was nice as well, we used it several times and had it to ourselves each time. Definitely highly recommend this place!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed in the condo for 3 nights. We love Playa Del Carman and we wanted to stay somewhere close to everything and this place was! Walmart is a short walk away, convience store almost across the street and 5th ave and beach was a couple of blocks. We walked everywhere with no problems. The Condo has everything you need. No need to bring beach towles with you, they have them for you. Management was great also and wasy to get ahold of. Great value for the price. We would for sure stay there again.

Just returned from an 18 night stay at the condo. What a wonderful place to spend my vacation! The condo was exactly as the pictures portrayed.Very comfortable and spacious and was well stocked with everything you need- the kitchen was well equipped for doing some dining in; purified water was always available and when we would run out, a quick email or call to the manager was all it took to have it replaced; there were plenty of beach towels and even some snorkelling gear which was a bonus! The condo is very well maintained and was so conveniently located. The beach is only a short, easy walk away; in fact everything is within a short walking distance - stores,tons of restaurants and the ADO bus station is right around the corner. The owners and property manager were great and so quick to respond to anyquestions or requests. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone who wants to stay in the area and I would absolutely stay here again on my next visit! Thank you Dalen for everything!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We spent 3 wonderful weeks at the condo Dallen. Very good location for shopping, shopping and walking on 5th Avenue and take the bus to the airport ADO Everything is exactly like the pictures we see. I often communicated by email with Patricia Clark, the person responsible for the condo there and she has always responded quickly to my requests. The only downside is there is no qui'il patio gives access to the outside for some fresh air in the morning and evening ... There is a small balcony, but as you can see from the photos, it is closed by the other condos, so no fresh air and no great view, no patio set either. At the pool, no set patio for coffee or to stay where you can swim. The pool water is very cold, like others elsewhere that we tried (Red Queen Hotel and pool of Mamita's). By cons, it takes at least 30 min. walk to Mamita's beach. There were big waves for almost 3 weeks. He is super nice ... I thought the beach was very busy Mamita's and very noisy (loud music). ll have to pay for chairs and parasol (umbrella 3 chairs + 1 = 120 pesos, but with the discount Playa paradise 50% = 60 pesos = $ 6 CAN. The food is not very good there. Failure to pay you can not stay on your beach towel, but no access to toilets. I loved the beach restaurant bar near Wah-Wah wharf Cozumel. you do not pay for chairs and umbrella provided that the we take the "drinks" and we eat. the food is super good. There were many waves at this beach at Mamita's. the only downside is that there is no toilet public on public beaches or on 5th Avenue. We still enjoyed our 3 weeks in this condo.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: John & I are happy you enjoyed the condo. It's a shame you didn't care for Mamitas beach, John and I tend to go down to the beach right near our condo, we don't see the point in traveling to a beach when there is one just a few short blocks from the condo. Our favorite place to go and recommend is Fusion at the bottom of Calle 6. During winter months in Mexico, the water is always cooler then later months. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. John & Dalen Castellanos

Just got back from a month in this Condo and it could not have been better. The ADO from the airport and then short walk to the condo (or taxi for $2.50) was so easy. The other reviews say it all. The property was very clean and well maintained and the location was excellent. Lots of information in the condo on what to see and do while in Playa. You can walk pretty well any where you want to go from the condo . Wtih the ADO station right around the corner we went to several places down the coast, Tulum, Xelha, Xcaret etc. I cannot say enough about how friendly and helpfull all the people were. One day we needed a doctor so I called Mercedeze (spelling) at the management company. There was a doctor at our door in 15 minutes. I just got home and already want to go back to Playa and stay here. If you are planning a trip to Playa Dl Carmen you cannot go wrong staying at Dalens Condo.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was our second stay in this condo. The fact that we came back pretty much speaks for itself. Our stay was great, communication with the owners and condo manager was easy, condo was stocked with everything you need: towels, beach mats, even some beach toys (floaties and snorkeling gear). The cell phones and big jug of drinking water are a huge plus!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

The property is exactly as listed - very nice and comfortable inside. The large movie collection is very well rounded. The condo is located a couple of blocks to the beach and a couple of blocks to Wall Mart. The owners and managers are very conscientious. We ran out of water and called the local managers and the bottle was replaced by the time we got back from the beach. The owners provide a lot of information about how to operate everything in the apartment and the location of movie theaters and activities in the area. My deposit check arrived a couple of days after I got home. It was an excellent experience in a wonderful beach town.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We just stayed here with our three young children, and we were very happy with it. The condo was spacious, clean, freshly painted, and had everything we needed. The movies and books were a nice bonus! The kitchen was well equipped so that we could do a little cooking and eating in. Our kids loved the pool. Location was great - we could easily walk to tons of restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Great value! We would want to stay again if we are ever in Playa again (hopefully!) Playa is such a fun place to visit!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: Hello we are John and Dalen Castellanos and we have been married for 32 yrs and raised three lovely daughters. We love to travel, ski, horseback ride, camp, hike, read, boats, SCUBA, snorkel, fishing, dancing etc. We have traveled to Mexico many times to visit our adult daughter who decided to live and work there for a few years. On our trip in Jan 2008, we decided to buy our condo and use it for vacations as well as a rental property. We do our best to make the rental process very easy and affordable. The cell phones in the condo are charged with approximately 20 minutes air time and are very easy to use to call the USA from Mexico. Our rates include maid service upon your departure. Our propery managers speak English and Spanish fluently and are always ready to assist you should you need any guidance or care.
Why the Owner Chose Oltreoceano:
We chose the location because it is so close to everything that having a car is not necessary. We chose this building because we wanted a building that has weathered hurricanes and is still standing. We are very happy with our choice and hope you will decide to spend some time in Playa Del Carmen enjoying our condo and all it has to offer.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
While staying in our condo we love to find new and interesting restaurants, visit the unpublished attractions such as Centoe Azul, Jardin De Eden, & Cristalino. We enjoy the VIP movie theater in Cancun with their wonderful leather recliners and low admission. We enjoy SCUBA diving, boating, snorkeling, relaxing on the beach and attending any festivals that may be going on during our stay. Playa Del Carmen is a beautiful, clean, calming atmosphere and we just love to come and be here. Dalen & John.
