Oceanfront Outstanding Views Budget Friendly Studio Condo

The view is beautiful. It's right on the beach, and the beach is fairly quiet (so relaxing). The waves are gentle, like your own personal lagoon. The unit has ample space. The kitchen had all the necessities. Frankie, the property manager, was super personable and helpful. The owner was kind and informative. Both provided lots of tips and tricks for getting around and places to eat in the area. The unit is at a large resort so it's easy to tell the taxi drivers where to take you back to.

Reasons this is for you: If you want a quiet beachfront stay on a budget, plan to cook your own food, and relax a lot

Reasons it is not for you: If you want lots to do beyond beach time within walking distance, If you are a very light sleeper (the A/C will wake you up), or if you have irrational expectations of fancy accommodations for a low price as others have pointed out.

Good accommodations and location for the money. The beachfront balcony was nice, but slightly inhibited by the glass railing being dirty (can't enjoy the view while sitting), but not a huge issue, there was always an available shaded spot on the beach with a nice view. Other resorts do clean up the sea grass on the beach every morning (this one does not). Be sure to buy bottled water if you stay, as no other water there is not good to drink, including in the gym as we found out :/. The only other issues we had were ants and a stinky mildew smell from the fridge (not food inside) became bad towards the end of the stay (which is why we didn't call up the manager about it), but that should be easy enough for the owner to fix, besides the fridge maybe.

The collectivo vans and public buses are much cheaper than taxi's, but don't bother if your Spanish is bad and/or you have a bad sense of directions, or you may end up somewhere else. We used the shuttle near the exit of the airport to get to the condo and saved a lot of money over a taxi. If you do the taxi, always ask how much before getting in and use pesos to avoid getting ripped off. The suggestion the owner provided to walk down the street and get a taxi is good advice to save more money compared to the taxis out in front.

All that said, I would recommend it and stay there again, assuming the ants, fridge, and balcony glass are taken care of.

The property was clean and very secure. Being away from the hotel zone was an unexpected bonus. From the view of the balcony to the easy access of the beech, the friendliness of the staff made our stay very special. The restaurants within walking distance serve daily fresh caught sea food at very reasonable prices. All and all it was a wonderful Mexican experience.

Nice location beach front but somewhat remote. Nothing provided really. No cleaning services or change of linens. We paid to have sheets and towels washed weekly and did the general cleaning ourselves.

The stove top is electronic and very tricky but we finally figured it out.

We stayed the month of February and had great weather. We used taxis and collectivo to get out.

Bathroom could use an exhaust fan.

Great for the price. Thank you Annette

Ann and Freddie are great to work with 👏👏. For the money you can not go wrong here. Affordable Paradise on the Beach. The condo is clean with an amazing view of the ocean that is right outside your patio. It is stocked with the basic and has a kitchen, on the top floor near everything. It is in a quiet neighborhood, $5 taxi to anywhere. The pool, bar and restaurant are all good quality that you can do all-inclusive if you choose. I will be coming back for sure. Cancun, has something for everybody. 👌👌😎🎉🍸💃🏽🍺🌮
