About The Owner
This is the 2nd condo we have owned in Playa and we know it is the perfect one. The location, the amenities, and the views make this a fabulous 'home away from home' for us. We also have rental properties in Maui and Sedona. Playa is the best vacation spot whether you are a sun seeker, a thrill seeker or just searching for the perfect margarita...it has everything. Bienvenidos!
The Owner purchased this condo in 2009
Why The Owner chose Playa del Carmen
El Faro is located right on the beach between the 2 piers. The location couldn't be better. Morning beach walks and sunrises are perfect. There are restaurants everywhere but the ones right on the beach are the best...especially Zensi.
What makes this condo unique
El Faro is located next to several dive shops. The dive shops are so convenient for snorkel and dive tours. You can wake up, walk next door and then head out to the beach to get on your dive boat. 5th Avenue with all of the restaurants and shopping is steps away. A taxi stand is right at the intersection of 5th and 10th. We get to see the lights of Cozumel at night from our balcony. This is an ideal location in one of our favorite places in Mexico.

Great Location with Beautiful View
We loved the condo, it had everything we needed and the location was great. The beach was just a few steps away along with fun beach bars and restaurants. The pool area was large and very nice. On a mundane note, it was great having a washer and dryer in the unit, which meant we could pack a little lighter.
Perfect Condo
Close to the parks, clean condo, quiet, safe and walking distance to markets and restaurants.
AHHHHH-mazing Trip!!!
Let me start by sharing how GORGEOUS this condo is. There is not one detail that was left out. I've traveled to Cancun various times, stayed at 5 star all-inclusive resorts and time share resorts. This was by far the best stay yet. The views are stunning, the grounds are gorgeous and well kept. The location of the condo is PERFECT. La Quinta Avenida is less than a 5 minute walk, not to mention the Starbucks and Haggen Daz at the corner. Walmart is within walking distance or a short cab ride away. The washer and dryer made life easy. Clean and fresh bathing suits is a plus! We all came home with clean laundry. Hugo at the reception desk was extremely helpful with booking our excursions. This was the most amazing girls trip.
Great place to stay!
This was an awesome place to stay! Had the best vacation with my best friend! It was quiet beautiful and the Massages by the pool were so good we did it twice!
Great Location, Modern Condo, Much better value than a hotel room.
We stayed for a week in Reef 304. The condos are modern, well-furnished, with a great view of the ocean and excellent proximity to the shops/restaurants. The pool is nice. The beach is very narrow and unfortunately, gets covered in sea weed most of the time. Even if the beach isn't covered with sea weed, the ocean water in that area is very sea-weedy. So, this part of the coast just isn't going to work for the typical "play in the sand and ride the waves" activities. However, my husband and son did go into the ocean where other people were just a little north of El Faro. It was o.k. On another day, we walked up to Kool Beach Club/Mamitas and spent the day there (which was great b/c they bring your lunch/drinks to you). The beach/ocean there is better for beach playing. We loved 5th Ave. and being able to run up to Starbucks for morning croissants which we ate on our condo balcony (perfect start to the day). We loved going up to 5th Ave. for dinner and/or ice cream in the evenings. We did several day trips, and El Faro was a great place to be. We chose this over a hotel in Cancun b/c we wanted a separate bedroom for the kids, living room space, and a kitchen. We arranged for our transport (from the airport) to stop at Walmart (about 1/2 mile from El Faro) so that we could pick up food. We used the kitchen more for the first half of the week and ate out for the second half. Loved having dinner on the balcony listening to the waves. Our condo also had a washer/dryer, which we used multiple times to freshen our swimsuits/towels and it allowed us to pack less. The condo owner provide soap/shampoo/laundry soap. The cleaners did a good job (every other day) and Yesica (the manager) helped us on the first day when we couldn't get the internet to work. We were very satisfied with the quality of the accommodations, the value and the location. The views and location are perfect. Be sure to eat at Zenzi, and walk down to Mamitas (or Kool Beach) at 28th street (about 8-9 blocks) straight down the street for wave action. Otherwise, enjoy the pool and the views and the people watching at ElFaro.
Fantastic place to stay
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Planning on staying again next year.
