Great Condo, perfect location close to restaurants and shops, great beach
Guest: Kim(Loveland, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 07/23/10 Review Submitted: 08/07/10
The condo was furnished beautifully, everything was in perfect condition and there were a lot of little extras that really make this a special place. I especially appreciated the comfy patio furniture. The patio is very large and we all spent a great deal of time enjoying the beautiful views. The owner was extremely responsive and provided lots of tips on restaurants and activities. The Property is in a perfect location....close to everything, but on a great stretch of beach. It has a really nice pool and an on-site restaurant with great food and service. The front desk staff and security guards were all very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to return!

I walked the beach looking for a Zen spot

I haven't stayed at this property, but ran into the owner while trying to pick a place for my next vacation to Playa. I was staying at a nice botique hotel, and prefer that to mega-resorts so common in Cancun. I walked the area I liked most for access to morning coffee and nice shopping while being a refuge when needed. In my opinion, and it's only my opinion, this property is the nicest in the area. Very high-quality, peaceful atmosphere, great units. And immediate access to get out to the beach in front of you or nightlife behind you. If you want romance Playa is the bomb compared to Cancun proper. It's obvious these folks take price in calling this their home.
Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Great condo, great location and close to everything with a fabulous view of the ocean

This is a great condo. It's brand new, has all the amenities, is decorated beautifully and was very comfortable for the 5 of us staying there. Also, the owner is very helpful and will get you anything you need. We pre-ordered some things through the Condo for basic groceries and it worked out great. The Condo is very central to downtown Playa and all the great restaurants and shopping on 5th avenue. Everything is within walking distance. It also has a great view of the ocean. The condo has everything you need to make you comfortable including a small grill on the balcony, portable cooler to bring to the beach, water toys for the kids, everything you need to cook and even can coolers to keep your drinks cool. It also has a great onsite restaurant called Wicky's with absolutely fabulous hamburgers and great service. Dinner there is also great but a little spendy. We also walked to Walmart to get more groceries and provisions twice. It's really not a far walk and they have everything you need in terms of food and supplies. No need even to take a taxi. I'd recommend staying there and we would definitely go back.
Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Great time at El Faro!!

Our family and some friends recently were at El Faro for Spring Break and had a blast!! El Faro is a great location and the beach is huge (3Xs the size it was in October due to bringing sand in) and beautiful with lots of great places to hang out, have a drink and some lunch (and a $17/hour massage listening to the waves!) We ate lunch a couple times at Wicky's which is the restaurant at El Faro. Upscale, nice chairs outside and great service on the beach. It was the BEST burger Ive even had!! Ask for the homemade crispy thin BBQ chips instd of the fries! We also loved Fusion which is a few doors down--great H HR and live music most of the time. Wicky's had great live music most days too. We stayed in Coral Reef 302 and it was decorated very mayan and cheerful. Nice balcony and comfy seating. there were 2 bedrooms with kings in both and nice sized baths. The kitchen was stocked with all you would need to cook but there are SO many places to go in the area we couldn't get to everyone we wanted! Really nice pool. Bring your goggles as it is a good lap swim too--long! You will LOVE the place!!!

The condo was just lovely, with lots of attention to detail. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into making sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need for a great vacation. The views from the condo were incredible: beachfront, as well as overlooking the beautiful pool. The staff were all wonderful - so polite, and they tried so hard to please. The condo's location is fantastic. It is just a few steps away from all the great shops and restaurants on 5th Avenue, and yet is very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous condo!
