Residences El Faro vacation rentals

What a great time we had during our stay. Great, safe place to enjoy the beautiful pool, beach and with restaurants, entertainment and more just a walk away. Totally recommend if you want to have fun, relax and have a great getaway

My husband and I come here often (we are early retirees) and have found this to be the absolute perfect spot. Terry was so gracious, arranging transportation and providing so many recommendations. His condo is spotless and very well maintained, and he even had it cleaned once during our 6 night stay! It is well stocked if you want to enjoy homemade meals. The views are unmatched…you are crazy close to the ocean and are positioned for pristine sunrise views. I find it difficult to beat in terms of location, cleanliness, views, communication…you name it. We like to walk Calle Cinco and the other couple likes to enjoy quiet time on the patio with the pool and ocean view. It’s perfect for either. You can’t go wrong here!

Loved our stay here! Would come again. Pros: - ground level unit with unobstructed view to pool and ocean, you just step out to the pool/ocean! We spent soooo much time on the patio, talking and reading. - the listing doesn't say it, but there is an IN UNIT WASHER AND DRYER! So great - wonderful condo staff, front desk assistance - SO close to 5th Ave, a Circle K for convenience items, pharmacy, etc. Shopping, eating, is a breeze! - well appointed kitchen, d/w, comfortable beds, nice showers, able to log into Netflix, amazon, etc on TV. - great a/c, able to change temp in each bedroom Cons: - wifi is iffy - worked about 50% of the time, sometimes we lost netflix or had to walk to the lobby to connect. - the large deck from the waterfall pool edge to the ocean had sunken into the sand (erosion?), so while we were there, it was all roped off, which was a bummer. Hopefully fixed soon?, but maybe something to ask about. - grill works, but could use a lighter and a scraper - If you have more than 4 people, the listing says "sleeps 6," and they are counting a small futon style item in the front entrance hallway. There was no bedding we could find. And it's v. small, children only. Other: -Lido is the BEST restaurant, right next door. Don't eat at Tropical, we got sick from the ice there. -The host can help with an airport shuttle! (we had already booked one before we knew) -We had difficult grocery delivery from loQsea (never came) & Walmart (v. v. late). Beware.

Brought my entire family down for a vacation in Playa del Carmen. The condo was great and the communication back and forth was excellent. The location was less than one block off of 5th Ave - which is fantastic.

This is our second time staying at this condo. It provides beautiful views and friendly service. The security guards and cleaning staff monitor the area regularly. Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves, and enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony with beautiful views. Its quiet and relaxing, and a 3 min walk to the main strip with all the shops, restaurants and clubs. The buildings are quiet and clean and the front desk staff are very helpful. The inside of the condo, was clean and had regular cleaning service. We will definitely be staying again.

Stayed for week with family of 6. Wish I could give 6 stars. Condos were very clean and well guarded 24 hours, always felt safe. Pool was fantastic, and they did a good job making sure everyone would get a chair by pool if they wanted. Location could not have been better. 2 min walk to 5th Ave, but far enough off that sound was never an issue. Could barely hear clubs at night if you were sitting on your patio, but inside was fine. Under 5 mins and you were on 5th Ave with shopping, restaurants, 10 min walk to Cozumel ferry, and 5-7 min walk to either Walmart or Mercado for shopping. Check was smooth and easy, and placed had a cleaning crew every other day. Management was super fast in responding to issues, and we are absolutely looking at coming here again. One of the best vacations we have ever had.

Absolutely gorgeous property. Friendly staff

By far the best unit at El Faro. Gorgeous view of the beach from the balcony and private plunge pool. Easy community pool access and beach access from the side patio. The community’s infinity pool is gorgeous! You can even get a massage poolside. Easy, close walk to many restaurants, bars, and shopping. Also convenient taxi service on the corner for any farther excursions you might want to take. Inside the condo, the amenities are comfortable, modern, and clean. We appreciated the water jugs provided for our use… and the beds were very comfortable. We slept great! The bathrooms could use some sprucing up… new grout and mildew/rust removal would make a huge difference. Also there were tiny ants on the kitchen counter, but we learned not to leave food uncovered and the ants stayed away. Truly could not have asked for a more relaxing, pleasant, beautiful stay.
