Why the Owner Chose The Elements

We love Cocoa Beach because it's on the new up and coming north end of Playa del Carmen and is just a bit wider and quieter, at least for now...we have our own private beach club, but it is only for Elements owners and guests, not the public, so it will remain peaceful. There are pretty little fishing boats buoyed in the water when we look out the windows and it's a tranquil, zen-like view. We have our favorite little fish shop just a couple of blocks away where we can buy fish right off the boat to cook for dinner, and we can walk anywhere from the condo.We have $35/hour massages right on the beach nearby. Why Playa del Carmen? Great mixture of ethnic groups and you never know what language you are going to hear next! Great people watching too! Playa del Carmen is a "Happy Place" where everyone's in a great mood and feels fortunate to be there!

The Unique Benefits at this Condo

Because we are a bit north of the busy-ness, you will enjoy some serenity and a quieter beach, while still being able to be near the restaurants and in the thick of the action anytime. The Elements has just recently added its own Private Elements Beach Club right on the ocean. It is for use by Elements owners and guests only and there will be food and drinks catered by a brand new upscale restaurant nearby.

Penthouse Karma, The Elements

We are located right on the beach on the north end of Playa del Carmen, on Coco Beach. Google Earth has not yet displayed The Elements, as it just opened January of 2009.

 

Owner's Map of The Elements

Hello from Mark and Carla from Wisconsin! We love it here in Playa del Carmen. It's such a unique city, friendly, safe, and a melting pot of cultures. 5th Avenue is a happening place, and yet you can get away from the activity at our condo and enjoy the gorgeous and quiet beach if you want to get away from "life in the fast lane." If you have stayed at All Inclusives in the past, maybe it's time to try our condo and really experience the Mexican culture and meet the wonderful friendly locals. Everyone is happy in Playa and you will feel your blood pressure go down the first day you arrive! Bienvenidos a Playa del Carmen!!

    • My friend and I just returned from a 5 night stay at Penthouse Karma. The unit and entire complex far exceed the pictures and descriptions! The view is amazing, and having the two private decks was such a nice luxury to have. We found the location to be perfect. It is a short 10-15 minute walk into the heart of 5th Ave where all the action is, but miles away as far as noise is concerned. We loved that we could go out for dinner and have fun in town, then come back to our quiet oasis in just a few minutes. We mostly walked everywhere, and for two women traveling alone, we felt perfectly safe at all times. Carla's property managers Matt and Allan were terrific, and their concierge contacts Maria and Maura gave us great suggestions for restuarants, beach clubs etc. With all the walking we did over the 5 days we saw many properties and locations, but I can say very few would be a better choice than Penthouse Karma. You'll love it!

    • My wife and I spent our week long honeymoon at Karma. What an absolute joy it was to have such a wonderful place at our disposal. The unit was well taken care of. There were plenty of amenities (hot tub, business center, gym, and of course the HUGE infinity pool). The staff, property managers, and concierge service made the stay that much better. Karma was close enough to the tourist area to walk via the white sand beach each night for dinner and far enough from the ruckus to enjoy quiet time in the hammocks, pool, or hot tub. The unit was spacious and beautiful decorated. We couldn't stop raving about our stay when we got back home. Thanks so much Carla!

    • We just returned from a week in Carla and Mark's wonderful Play del Carmen condo and can't wait to return! The location was perfect for our family of five. Situated on the quieter north end of town with it's own locals beach just out the door. We had $25 hour long massages right on the beach! The unit itself was perfect. Comfortable beds, well appointed, hammocks and hot tub on the rooftop and view, views, views! Carla was great to work with, the property manager personally took care of our needs including arranging a cab to drive us to out of town locations for far less $ than the going rate. We met residents of the Elements complex who befriended us and felt like family by the time we left. A fantastic vacation spot for those looking for a relaxing getaway in a awesome location.

    • Perfect condo in Playa del Carmen. Located on the quiet end of the city but close enough to easily walk to all the great restaurants and 5th st. area. The condo is immaculate and has everything you need including lots of beach towels for the beautiful quiet beach next to the condos. The penthouse feature is nice with the added space, hot tub and hammocks. What a great place to relax with the view of the water. The pool is beautiful! Carla had great suggestions on restaurants and things to do. I will recommend this condo to my friends and can't wait to go back! What a terrific week in paradise.

      Recently stayed at this condo for seven nights. Would we stay here again? ABSOLUTELY! We miss the sun and the sand!!!! The condo was great! We were very happy with everything and there were no surprises! We were VERY happy with the location! Close enough to 5th avenue (where all the shops and restaurants are) but away from the very busy beach clubs. We usually walked to 5th avenue and took a taxi home - because we were tired and the taxis were inexpensive. The private hot tub was wonderful! And the hammocks were also a great touch! Having a washer/dryer was also nice – able to pack less. Carla, the owner, was great! I had a TON of questions – over several emails - and she very patiently answered each and every one of them! She also provided a LOT of information on the area. We found all of her information to be accurate and the condo and the area turned out to be exactly as she made them out to be. She went above and beyond our expectations! Our housekeeper, Lulu, was so sweet! She made little shapes everyday with a few of the towels and although she didn't speak English and we didn't speak Spanish, we managed to communicate a bit through gestures and just guessing. Our daughter was able to help us a bit as she knows some Spanish. By the end of the week, Lulu told us that she was praying for our safe return home and that she felt like we were family and then hugged each of us! She was so nice and did a good job cleaning the place. Rene, the Elements concierge, was also very friendly and offered suggestions for various things! His English was very good. I admit, before we left we were wondering about him, only because his email communication wasn't very good, but in person he is very friendly and efficient! Bottom line, we really had a great time in Playa del Carmen and were very happy with our decision to stay at this condo! It was a great area and the owners are very helpful and friendly!

    • We just returned from a week stay at this lovely penthouse unit. What an amazing place with something to offer for everyone. We loved the proximity to the beach and the gorgeous views as well as being on the more peaceful end of town. The pool was perfect for our children and the walk to town on or off the beach was enjoyable and a nice distance. We are already hoping to be able to stay there again.
