Beautiful Condo with Spectacular Ocean View!

My grown kids and I stayed at this condo over NYE and we had a great time. The condo is updated and very modern and has everything you could need. The balcony/deck area was large and we spent most of our time out there as it was right on the ocean and the view is amazing. It is definitely the best thing about this condo. The beach had a ton of people on it for that time of year so the deck was great if you didn't want to mess with all the people. And on NYE we went to Sr. Frogs and then stayed up to watch the sun rise at 730am! The condo is very close to stores and restaurants.

I give it a 4 instead of a 5 for the following reasons:

1. We did have some issues with a bad smell in the laundry room on the first day

2. On the last day the water went completely out due to something happening in the area and then we had no hot water.

Jean was awesome and came to help us quickly when I called on these issues and she got them fixed quickly! She is very responsive.

3. This condo is above Senor Frog's and it did get very noisy with the music late at night and into the morning hours. And the Ferry starts to blow it's horn at around 7am!

4. They say that this can fit 6 people but I think that they should not advertise that more than 4 can fit comfortably. I had initially invited another couple but was very glad that they did not come as it would not have worked out well. One person can sleep on the couch but it does not open up to a bed.

5. The area seems a little sketchy but we felt very safe in the condo with the locking screen door and the locking sliding doors in the back. There is a hostel on the same floor which worried me at first be we did not have any issues. There are several other balconies right next to this one so that does not lend well to privacy. Someone can easily jump over the rail and come over to the balcony so be careful to lock up the back door and not leave any valuables outside.

6. There is no way for a shuttle or taxi to drive right up to the condo. You will need to take your luggage or grocery bags from the street and walk over to the condo and then go up 2 long flights of stairs (no elevator). I have a bad knee so this was more of an issue for me but might not be for others.

Other than those minor items, I would recommend staying here and would love to come back and stay again.

Thanks for everything!

The property was in a perfect location and very clean . We had a wonderful time there and Jean was very helpful. I guess the only disappointment was the non working hot tub but we will for sure stay again if we ever get back to playa

This condominium was a great location for everything. It was very comfortable and clean. The view from our balcony was unbelievable. I hope we can return someday. I highly recommend it.

The start of our trip to Playa Del Carmen was horrible (we were scammed at our first all inclusive hotel) and therefore we needed to find a hotel as soon as possible. Being a family of 8, we quickly turned to VRBO and found this property which was available the next day. Jean, the property manager, replied in less than 12 hours and called us letting us know that the property was available. The pictures DO NOT LIE! if anything, the pictures do not do the property justice! The balcony is very big with a soaker pool overlooking the cozumel ferry terminal and the white sand beach. It is just a few steps from fifth avenue and is directly above Senor Frogs. To our surprise, we did not find any problems with the noise from the restaurant/club. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked and beautiful. It is located at great part of fifth avenue, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. Altogether, my family had a blast at this property and we will for sure be recommending this property to all of our friends and family.

We were immediately impressed with the large beautiful balcony with a great view. It is centrally located near the action and shops. Our family enjoyed the balcony for drinks and dining and the kids especially enjoyed sitting in the tub. The condo was clean and had drinking water, kitchen supplies and beach chairs and umbrella. Right downstairs we enjoyed live music at Senor Frogs, jumping on the trampoline, taking long walks on the beach and swimming in the waves. If you want to be close to the activity and fun of Playa and enjoy it in beautiful comfortable home, this is the place for you!
