We just returned from an amazing family trip to Playa del Carmen, where we stayed at the Elements. The Elements is in a great part of town - outside of the chaos but everything in Playa is accessible with a short walk. Plenty of nearby cafes, restaurants and convenience stores. The condo unit was spacious, clean and exactly as advertised. The property manager, Lilian was responsive and professional. We would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at the Elements. The condo was very comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. We cooked ourselves often as the groceries store was within walking distance, as we're multiple fabulous restaurants. Our concierge was very helpful and available for all needs. Thank you Lillian! It was so quiet and getting a pool or beach spot was never a concern. My husband doesn't want to ever stay anywhere other than the Elements again. The only negative for us, was the water pressure was very low, and the smell at the beach could be pretty bad some days.

We had a wonderful time and the pool was a deal maker! We had a few issues while there…toilet tank not filling up with water so wouldn’t flush( was fixed a couple days after we reported it to Lilian). Had some tiny ants in the kitchen, which never got addressed, but not a big deal. Overall, a very nice condo and in walking distance to 5th Ave and surrounding areas. Great vacation!!

Nice property

Good location, beach club was nice. Great pool. The unit has 3 bathrooms and a whirlpool tub, but only a 15 gallon water heater, it runs out of hot water in about 90 seconds when all 3 showers are in use. Could use a 50 gallon water heater for a unit with 3 bathrooms.

Great location and pool

Communication was excellent between the owner, manager and myself. Penthouse is in a great location in Playa del Carmen, just off of 5th ave, and within walking distance of restaurants, and grocery stores. Bed were super comfortable, and there were blackout blinds for all rooms. We enjoyed our stay.

Family Friendly Spring Break - Perfection

Finding great places for our family of 7 can be challenging. The property was beautiful. The pool area is great for all ages; different depth pools to serve up sun for all. A quick walk to tons of shops and great dining. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Lilian was fantastic and a great help during our stay and after when we became stranded from cancelled flights. A beautiful and safe location for families.

Wonderful beachfront location

We were very pleased with our stay at PH8 in 'The Elements' property. The free on site parking, 7-11 across the street, clean, private beach and private beach front chairs were incredible.Our only downfall was that we thought we'd have an outdoor grill for cooking (shown in the pictures), and there was no dishwasher in the unit, but now know that was an oversite by me when booking.We would highly recommend this property anyone looking for a great, safe location in Playa del Carmen. Lillian was very prompt and amazing with answering any questions we had during our stay, as well as providing great restaurant options to us! Thank you!

Fantastic stay in playa de Carmen

We had a great spring break week staying at the elements. The unit is beautiful and comfortable. Plenty of space for our family of 6. The pool is perfect, very large and not crowded at all. The beach club is very convenient to have right there. Neighborhood was very fun to walk around - plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. The host Ann was very easy to work with. Lilian the concierge was so helpful and kind in setting up activities for the week and great advice for our week in PDC. Thank you so much for our great week!!

Great Location

Our group was 13-65 in ages...Great ammenities, small beach for any playtime, but the pool and beach club made up for that. Our host Lillian did a great job at communicating and helped us with all of our excursions. Pool was beautiful and very comfortable loiunge chairs! This is an older community that we enjoyed with minimal kiddos. Definitely do the cave snorkeling! Night life was only 10-20 minute walk. We felt very safe!

Clean & Spacious

Our party of 7 had plenty of room in this clean & spacious rental. Kitchen was well equipped & we had plenty of towels for both bathroom & beach use. Within waking distance to 5th & many great places to eat. Beach area was a little smaller than anticipated but was clean & well maintained. Beach bar a huge plus ran by friendly staff. Security is also taken very seriously. Lillian the concierge is more than helpful & was always quick to respond. Would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting PDC.

About the host

Hosted by Ana Maria Flores Coulbourn

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Ana María Flores, Mexican born, having lived for 8 years in the US (wonderful state of Texas). We are now living in Monterrey, Mexico. I am part of a happy family of five, with a husband and three boys who need to have someplace to go for the summer and relax and use up their energy! Our dream came true when we bought this property and we are so excited to have guests enjoy it as much as we do. We have put a lot of thought into the penthouse and we hope you feel at home and even a bit pampered. We are big on choosing the best service available and have paired up with a vacation management that also values excellence and service. We sincerely hope this will be reflected in our home. We love to relax, put meat on the grill and also go out for people watching at night to the famous Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) for a glass of wine or cold Mexican beer. During the day, our favourite activities include swimming in the Cenotes and discovering the many amazing beaches in the area. We are constantly looking for new experiences to enrich our children´s lives and this IS the real deal. Thank you for considering our property!

Why they chose this property

This area in particular means so much to us, since its beauty is so fresh and real. It´s full of jungle experiences and natural beauty, yet is close to necessities such as hospitals, the airport, shopping and fine restaurants. Every time we leave we are planning on our next vacation because really the possibilities are so varied and extensive. As Mexicans, we are so proud of our heritage, our natural resources, our food and people and want to share this with others.

What makes this property unique

We chose this property for several reasons, one being the fact that it is larger than other Penthouses, so we can comfortably fit our whole family in it! We made the kitchen larger by extending the granite bar and making it the center of attention. Since it is on the third floor, it is quieter than others. We are close to the action but just far enough away to feel like it is a haven from the hustle and bustle of the town center. We love that it has a convenient side entrance, easy parking and that The Elements has such great maintenance quality.
