About Rick Fernandez
Your Host - Rick Fernandez
Rick is a semi-retired, highly active individual with a life-long experience assuring the needs of guests are looked after beyond expectations. He started his service industry career in Canada back in the early 1970's and up until mid 2012 he worked for major hotels in Canada and Mexico as senior manager. Once he arrived on the Mayan Riviera in the 1990's he knew he was home and quickly envision a small vacation rental business. In 2011 he stared with his first rental in Puerto Morelos and shortly after followed with a penthouse condo in Playa del Carmen.
Proud of his new role as owner / host he enjoys welcoming guest from around the world and sharing with them the simple beauty, comfort and peacefulness of the Maya Riviera and the properties he rents throughout the year. With a clear view and long term commitment to service, attention to his guests is of out most importance and takes special pride on providing first class, well looked-after properties always striving to surpass guest expectations.
Rick Fernandez purchased this condo in 2012
Why Rick Fernandez chose Playa del Carmen
Due to beautiful beaches, ambiance, great restaurants, and engaging social life, Playa del Carmen has become a popular destination. Having a rental property already in Puerto Morelos, I wanted a second one that could complement the first one and offer my guest a second location and lodging option within the Riviera Maya.
Playa del Carmen was the preferred choice because of the ambience and intimacy of this small city. Kin Maya was the viable option because of comfort, location and proximity to beach and services.
What makes this condo unique
This is a well maintained, centrally located property close to everything anyone would need for a 2 night or a 2 month stay; comfortable and convenient in a quite, attractive, and safe neighborhood a short distance from the beach.
Guestbook comments from the owner
5 of 5 stars - Reviewed March 25, 2014
I just spent ten days at Kin Maya last February with husband and one other couple, what a great place! The apartment is very comfortable and has everything we could possibly need, we made extensive use of the solarium where we spent the afternoons enjoying a bottle of wine while cooking our favorite steak in the BBQ grill.
The place is very well cared for and so conveniently located we walk everywhere, beach is only 5 blocks away and half a block to supermarket (Mega Comercial).
Rick was always there for us with help and suggestions, his service and attention to detail made our vacation even more enjoyable.
Pool, amenities, location and Rick's service set this place apart, highly recommended and most definitely we'll be back.

Beautiful apartment close to everything you need.
Our family had a wonderful time at Rick's condo. It was spacious and well appointed. The rooftop terrace with plunge pool was so lovely we spent a lot of our time up there planning our visits to the local attractions. Rick was so thoughtful meeting us with cold drinks and showing us how things work. The attention to detail was fantastic we had everything we needed for a great holiday. The location was ideal for the supermarket and plenty of eateries. Try the small restaurants near the collectivo stop or sandra's on 15th for a more authentic and inexpensive experience. Highly recommended.
Las mejores vacaciones
El penthouse está increíble, muy cómodo con todos los servicios la terraza con piscina privada fue lo mejor. La ubicación perfecta, muy cerca de los supermercados y de la quinta avenida. El sr. Rick es una persona muy amable y que facilita enormemente la estadía. Definitivamente volveremos!!!!
Perfect Condo in Paradise
What a wonderful condo for this beautiful vacation. Rick is amazingly helpful and attentive. He is a phone call away for all of your needs or wants. The condo is perfectly located near grocery stores, great restaurants and entertainment. The rooftop patio and lounging pool is excellent for morning coffee then evening cocktails. We cooked fresh shrimp and fish on the electric grill which was very nice. Rick has the patio beautifully adorned with green foliage and pretty flowering plants. We spent our down time on the patio. Love it!!!!
Clean and spacious condo located in a secure complex with 24 hour security.
Walking around Playa was nice but there are always cheap taxis right outside of the condo complex if walking is not your thing. The beach is a good ten minute walk and 5th street is a few blocks away.
This will definitely be returning!
Perfect location, beautiful apartment. The rooftop pool is amazing!
Rick was the best host, everything you could need or want is at the apartment amazing holiday we will never forget
Absolutely perfect!
I can't say enough about how perfect our stay was at Kin Maya. First, Margaritas II was everything we wanted in location and amenities. The community is very quiet and because it is divided into two halves, feels like just the right size. The community pool is great! It has a shallow end and a deep end divided by a bench that was wonderful to relax one. We often had the pool all to ourselves. We wanted a home base close to the Mega and our favorite restaurants and we could not have picked a better spot!
Upon arrival, it was immediately clear that Rick truly cares about his property and wants to make your stay comfortable and special. He met us with drinks and a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit. After a long day of traveling, that greeting was very welcome!
Rick was telling us he has a background in the hospitality industry and it is very apparent. He provides almost everything you could possibly need. The condo was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. But what sets this property apart from all the rest is the amazing rooftop. We began each morning with breakfast on the roof (with pastries from the Mega), enjoying the comfortable lounge chairs in the warm morning breeze. The private rooftop pool was absolutely incredible! At the end of each day we would either hop in for a relaxing dip or simply soak our feet as we enjoyed the end of another perfect day.
Kin Maya is definitely a special place and we can't thank Rick enough for making our stay just perfect! We plan on staying here for all our future visits!
Paradise
This is our second time staying at Kin Maya. Rick is an amazing host as always. He is always available to help and any issue is resolved in a timely manner. Greeted us with champagne & beer, drinks, snacks, I mpressive.
The condo is exactly as it was a year ago , very clean, Condo looks exactly like the pictures.
We loved the rooftop terrace where you can relax , BBQ, go in the pool, our piece of paradise.
It is very close to beach only a 10 min walk, lots of restaurants nearby, Mega is across the street for groceries.
Thank you once again Rick for being such a gracious host. We will see you again next year.

Map
Kin Maya is set in a centrically located neighborhood just off of Constituyentes and 30th. Ave. in a quiet residential area right downtown Playa del Carmen. Take a leisurely walk along 5th. Ave. shop arts and crafts in the many store or just stop for lunch and a cool tropical drink in one of the sidewalk cafes, restaurants or bars. Easily walk to 'Mamitas' beach or any of the other gorgeous beaches along the water front. 'Mega Comercial Mexicana' one of Mexico's leading supermarkets is virtually across from the complex, just half a block; only Four blocks to Walmart and steps from all type of shops, restaurants, banks and of course Playa's unique Night Life.
A car is not needed as everything is within walking distance including transportation to visit the various sites.
Within a few blocks of the condo, you will find numerous local restaurants of exceptional quality serving everything from the best cuts of meat to the freshest of seafood to organic smoothies. You will also find fine Italian dining just down the street and numerous coffee houses as well. If shopping is more your style, Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida) offers some of Mexico's best traditional handicrafts alongside numerous upscale clothing, jewelry and high end craft boutiques.
Dive into a rainbow of fun visiting the Theme Parks of X-Caret, Xel-Ha and XPlore. They offer the experience of seeing the natural beauty and culture of Mexico in a single beautiful park setting. Guests can kayak, swim with dolphins, snorkel through underground caves, zip line, get up close and personal with rare marine life and wildlife and see live world class dance and musical performances.
The tropical forest of the Mayan Riviera surrounding Playa del Carmen are filled with exotic plants, beautiful flowers, hidden pools, wild parrots and even monkeys. Visitors can tour this amazing eco-systems on foot, riding an ATV, while racing along zip lines or even by pedaling through the jungle treetops on a special sky cycle.
Tour Jungle and Ocean combine for an exiting adventure at Punta Venado or Maroma Beach. Swim and explore any one of the local Sink holes 'Cenotes' or get a guided tour, life-changing experience at Rio Secreto.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the neighboring paradise of Isla Mujeres offering impressive sites and one of the loveliest coral reef spots. Puerto Morelos is a quite, easy going, unassuming fishing village with some of the best beaches in the Riviera Maya, their calm, shallow, turquoise waters offer a safe swimming and snorkeling environment for everyone. Snorkel along side sea turtles in the crystal waters of Akumal or visit any one of the unspoiled beaches along the Riviera Maya.
The ruins at Tulum or Coba are relatively close, 40 to 60 minutes drive, an ideal half a day's tour, after visiting ruins return to Playa del Carmen for a succulent dinner at one of 5th avenue's popular restaurants or cook your heart's desire at Kin Maya's gourmet kitchen and save yourself some money on going out.
