Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Hello we are John and Dalen Castellanos and we have been married for 28 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 Other Playa del Carmen Properties
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 of this Condominium
While staying in our condo we love to find new and interesting restaurants, visit the unpublished attractions such as Centoe Azul as well as other cenotes. 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.
