Upon entering you will be greeted by a beautiful Mayan Palapa that soars above the kitchen, living room and loft area. The all around patio, which overlooks the pool and lush gardens, is perfect for relaxing or enjoying a private late night dinner in playa del carmen..
The calm, romantic bedroom has direct access to the bathroom with an oversized marble shower. And after an exhausting day at the beach or exploring the Mayan Ruins, relax and enjoy the star show while soaking in your own private Jacuzzi on the cozy roof top terrace which leads into the loft.
The bedroom has a queen-size bed which sleeps 2 adults, there is a very large and comfortable built-in sofa in the Living/Kitchen area and the loft off the rooftop has a single bed/lounger for getting in out of the hot sun or just enjoying a quiet afternoon nap. We are located in the very hearth of Playa del Carmen, right in the middle of the action where the best clubs and restaurants are located. Perfect location for a nice dinner and some dancing within one minute. Being exactly in the middle of Playa del Carmen we have a lot of clubs in the area, the music at night might disturb some light sleeper, the bedroom is very quite and with the AC on you basically do not hear anything, we also provide a noise reduction machine for very light sleepers. If you care considering a vacation rental in Playa del Carmen and you would like something that is within 5 mins walking distance with the beach just one block away than this is the perfect place. It is greatly recommended for young couples who are looking for great restaurants close by. The chance to go clubbing, walk to the beach but also be able to have many tours and activities. There are many clubs close by the bedroom is quite but if you are a very light sleeper you might be bothered by the club that are close by.

The room was clean and the location is amazing. It was perfect for our vacation. It was missing the typical basics that are typical with VRBO rentals. However there is a convenience store across the street to offset that.
Very easy to communicate any questions, response was very quick and informative! Everything we needed was available. Proximity to Alamo Cafe was a plus!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo is fabulous and the decor, charming. It’s 1 block from a beautiful beach in one direction and another block away from 5th street, which is a car free zone filled with shops, restaurants and night clubs. Everything is at your fingertips. The condo was clean, private and cozy and Terri and Dana were very easy to reach and super accommodating. The condo is 2 levels, with your own private hot tub. The neighbourhood is filled with coffee shops, convenience stores if you need anything. On the patio you can hear music at night, which adds to the vacation atmosphere of it all. We had a great 3 night stay and would definitely come back.
This property delivered as promised. Located perfectly in Playa Del Carmen & blocks away from the beach, shopping and nightlife. The property was super clean, and safe. I would stay here again.
Cute condo with a great location. Close to the beach and all shopping and food on 5th. Easy communication with property manager Dana. Quick and easy check in and check out.

The only downside is there was no ice machine or freezer to keep ice in besides that everything was
Loved our time in Playa del Carmen at the Villas Sacbe. Very private and safe, although quite loud at night with the nearby discos (they blast the music from 8pm-4am what seems every night). The hot tub didn’t work when we stayed there and the toilet handle had broke but otherwise the apartment was in good, clean condition and was a great retreat from nearby busy 5th street. The location was magical as you were smack in the middle of everything from beautiful beaches to great restaurants & nightlife. We’d stay there again.

What a beautiful condo. ...
What a beautiful condo. My boyfriend and I stayed in Villa #12 for 7 nights during May. The condo is located in a prime location - one block from the beach and one block from 5th Avenue.
Villa Sacbe is definitely five-star! Housekeeping came every other day, the concierge service the owners use were so helpful, and a security guard was onsite from 8pm-8am.
I highly recommend Villas Sacbe #12 for the prime location, the cleanliness of the condo, and the price.
This place was a tropical paradise within a short walking distance to the beach and lively 5th Avenue. There are nightclubs very close by but we felt very safe. There are two locked gates to get through and one is a private gate for this villa alone. The noise was not bad at all mon-thurs night but did increase a bit on the weekend. Still not much of an issue unless you are a light sleeper you may want earplugs. 10/10 experience!

if you like ALL NIGHT BLASTING DISCO MUSIC THAT SHAKES WALLS AND WINDOWS TILL 6 A.M. THIS IS YOUR PL
the noise from the TWO DISCO NIGHTCLUBS ADJACENT TO THIS CONDO was so loud from 10 PM until 6 AM !! that the windows shook and rattled and the walls shook. I dont think this poor owner may have known when they bought the place, but the neighbors told us she was aware of the disco music all night and didnt want to lose renters. go ahead and rent this place if you are an all day sleeper and all night partier, but if you plan on getting ANY SLEEP AT ALL, RENT ANOTHER PLACE... YOU WONT SLEEP AT NIGHT HERE

This year there has been an increase in the number of night clubs in the area and they are all vying for customers by turning up and keeping the volume at a very high level.
We are in such a great location being two minutes from the beach and 5th Avenue and within walking distance to everything, and we know most people really love being here so we are presently looking into replacing our windows with triple glazed ones, which is what most of the condos and hotels in this area are doing.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We arrived at the property and taxi could not find so we walked a block to find asking people they forgot to get us the name off the property. When we finally found it the gate code did not work it took us two hrs to get in once we talked with the person in charge by text . Some one finally came into the garage so we got in . Than there was no hot water and the hut tub had one jet working and never got hot so a waste we stayed there one night and ended up leaving and booked somewhere else . Do not waste your time with this property.

Sheer torture
Unfortunately I was not impressed with this facility. The unit itself was dated and not as tidy as it could have been. It sits just yards from three major clubs and the noise level is intense. It starts playing the so called music at 10 and doesn't stop until 5 in the morning. It isn't actually music but continued pounding of the bass. You could practically feel the intensity of the pounding. To verify this check out google maps and you can see where the clubs are located. While we were there at one of the clubs there was a shooting with 5 people killed and 15 injured. Verify this on CNN. It was called the Blue Parrot club. Obviously not a safe are to be in during the evening hours.

Unfortunately the guest choosed the worst time for Playa del Carmen and being a elderly couple has a lot to do with it. The BPM Festival (the biggest Techno Music event in Central America) was raving right in the center of Playa exactly where the apartment is located. Sorry about it if you think its my fault. Saying that the apartment is in unsafe area well that is plain stupid, the apartment is right in the center and I mean right in the center of Playa del Carmen, if you call my apartment unsafe stay home or go somewhere else maybe a nice elderly cruise where you will feel safe surrounded by similar people.Yes there was an act of violence which is unheard of in quintana roo but it is not because the area in unsafe since the center is actually the safest part of town. It was very much a single incident nothing ever happens in 5th avenue and surroundings. Glad you enjoyed your vacation the amenities the extras.
Amazing location, cute spot and great host! We had no issue with noise and enjoyed being right in the hustle and bustle! The villa area is very nice and felt secure and serine. The unit had mostly what we needed but prepare to just have the basics. Do lots of research before you arrive as we did get 'toursist trapped' a lot. Download 'InDrive' for taxis and never accepct the first price or even second price you're given. We paid 80US for tax from airport to playa (driver started at 150). Once we got the indrive app we got a taxi from playa to the airport for 35 USD. We would love to come back here again!
This place was awesome. The host contacted us right way to check us in. It's steps from the action and beach. And the noise is not near as bad as the other comments have said. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Esta como a 5 minutes Caminando al coco bongo de la 5 ave & a 2 minutes a la vaquita & mandala Con estacionamiento todo chidoSolo le falta agua caliente para el jacuzziLa hostess muy Linda y Sizemore al pendiente de todo Muchas gracias ( D&&a )

would recommend
we had a lovely time staying here. sergio was always prompt with answering our questions. was a bit nervous as this was my first time using vrbo but had a good experience. the clubs nearby are noisy at night but it was not a problem once we figured out how to use the white noise machine in the bedroom. i'm a light sleeper so the noise affected me some but not my husband who wasn't bothered by it. the only problem we had was the jacuzzi only worked the first day. the second day and third day it was overheated and when we told the staff they cooled it down and then it wasn't warming up enough after that. other than that we had no issues.

Nice home in great location.
We stayed in this home the second week of December. The place was very clean and comfy. Two issues that arose with the home, one is that all water that comes from the tap is salty. Water from the shower to the sink was salty. Not such a big deal but unexpected when your brushing your teeth and you rinse with salt water. The second thing was our second night there the ac unit stopped working. The management staff was very quick to move us into another unit seeing as it was averaging about 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Those two things aside, I would definitely recommend this condo to everyone.

Amazing stay! Dec 27, 2016 - Jan 3, 2016
We have just returned from 7 days at Villas Sacbe condo 112. We rented through VRBO and HomeAway. Sergio the owner was easy to deal with. We communicated a few times before our trip and he was quick to reply. The condo is managed by condo hotels and their service from check in to check out was great. The location was perfect. 1 block from the beach and 1 block from 5th Ave. It is a busy area for nightlife. We brought earplugs but never used them. While the rooftop, patios, and living room are loud, we heard nothing in the bedroom. There is a white noise machine but we never had to turn it on and we were even there for New Years Eve and DJ fest! This condo is exactly as the pictures show. Private and romantic. Hot tub was perfect. We used it every day. We felt very safe there during our stay. The only thing it needs is a freezer, but we made do with a small cooler to keep ice for blended drinks! Walmart and Mega are close by for any supplies you might need. Hundreds of restaurants in all price ranges within a few blocks. So much to do around the Playa area, we will stay again for sure. Thank you Sergio and Villas Sacbe Condo Hotels for a perfect vacation!

Amazing location and place to stay!
Loved the Hot tub/ Location(close to beach & activities)/ Gym/staff at the condo complex
Only negative but important enough to mention is the fact that the bed is extremely stiff and hard downstairs both me and my girlfriend struggled to get good sleep every night............. just way too stiff
(Despite the bed being really uncomfortable I did not want to take away any stars as everything else was amazing)
I hope that by mentioning the stiff bed this might change so the next time we book we hopefully will get better rest!
Thank you for making your place available and we plan to make this our new home away from home!!!
