It was a pleasure dealing with Susan the owner and Edith the manager. The unit was clean, well-equipped, and maintained. The location was excellent and we will definitely consider staying here again if we are able to get back to Playa del Carmen. Shopping and the restaurants nearby were great. Thanks to Susan and the staff for a wonderful vacation

Place was beautiful and staff very friendly. Had a couple issues that came up that wasn't the staffs fault and they resolved them for us very promptly (no warm water at first, coffee maker not working). Wouldn't hesitate to book here again if we find ourselves back in Playa Del Carmen.

Excellent Get Away

We were there to celebrate Thanksgiving with our adult children. The unit had tons of room, clean and excellent location. We were worried about the noise since it was so close to 5th St and the Inti Bar but the unit was very quiet. Location to the beach, 5th St and everything you need was perfect. Already planning on returning in the next few months.

Great Condo in Playa Del Carmen

Our family of five enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was very comfortable and clean. Edith the property manager is very attentive and full of local information, which she is very willing to share. Victor and the other security personnel also were very attentive and opened the security gate upon recognizing us coming in or out. We felt appreciated. There is plenty to do on Avenue 5, or day trips to Cozumel, cenotes or theme parks.

amazing 3 bedroom Carmen Del Playa Condo with a great rooftop patio

Beautiful 3 bedroom condo with an amazing rooftop patio with hammocks and cushioned benches & chairs. Everything worked great (AC, WIFI, filtered water also provided). Beach was nice and clean with great food and drink service on the beach from the restaurant next door. The staff sets up lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach for guests.

Awesome location with great staff.

This property was excellent with plenty of room for our family of 6. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with cooking and storage containers, plenty of towels for bath and pool, cleaned the condo twice while there. The rooftop was great! Always breezy and 2 hammocks pretty much in the shade all day. We spent most our mornings and evenings there. I would definitely stay at this property again. My entire family age 13 to 52 loved it.

Lovely quiet condo but close to everything!

The condo as well as the check in process was as described and we had no problems. Everyone was very helpful Just a short walk to almost anything you could want. The freezer could have been colder as it took quite a while to freeze ice. The last day we had an issue with getting one of the safes open. Our passports were in there and when we called the gentleman said he would be there in 15 minutes. About two hours later he arrived and we weren't late for the ride to the airport, but we were a little worried.

Wonderful location and beautiful condo!

The condo and property are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Abdias, the beach concierge, was friendly and very helpful. There were a few glitches. 1. We did not receive information from the manager on how to access the condo. When we arrived very late in the evening the front desk person had to call someone to get the door code for us. 2. The listing for the condo listed having laundry soap on site for the washer and dryer, but there was none there. Also, housekeeping services were listed but none ever showed up, which is ok, but when we needed to empty the garbage we didn't know what to do with the full bags. 3. There were no kitchen towels. I had to buy a few to use. We left them there for the next guest. 4. We ran out of drinking water and had buy more until a replacement came. Overall these were minor inconveniences, but I didn't know how to contact the manager to resolve them. We would definitely stay here again and encourage anyone else to do so!

Excellent Staff

The staff was amazing. Front gate attendant was extremely friendly and helpful. When we arrived early he stored our bags in a locked room until check in time. Abdias & Edwin made the beach time the highlight of our stay. Abdias was extremely helpful and friendly, always quick to setup umbrellas and assist with anything we could need, and Edwin from INTI Beach Club kept the drinks flowing. We enjoyed getting to know them and appreciate the excellent service they provided. I would caution any family with young children to be careful with the rooftop lounge area. Because of the built in seating around the edge, it would be easy for a young child to climb up and over the edge. Because we were traveling with our young daughter, we unfortunately didn’t get to use this area as often as we hoped. Overall, it’s a very nice condo, in an excellent location, and the staff are amazing.

We loved the property, although seaweed invasion going on (Mother Nature). Unit was very nice, only complaints… hall bathroom toilet needs some help, doesn’t flush well at all. The patio furniture is not comfortable and the glass on the coffee table is to big for table leaving sharp corners sticking out. Town and shopping so close that was nice. Do remember that you are in a foreign country and many do not speak English, or at least they say they don’t. Exchanging your money for pesos would be helpful. All in all it was a good stay and it was our first stay in Playa del Carmen and the first is always a little awkward but worth it. Thanks much

The perfect location in Playa

There is no better choice for a stay in Playa del Carmen. The spacious well- appointed condo was absolutely as we had hoped. We’re glad we paid for a Luna Encantada unit with a rooftop space. We loved the hammocks and the view was amazing. Having direct access to the beach with complimentary beach chairs and an umbrella if you want one is terrific. Plus service from two restaurants on either side of the property- it almost didn’t seem real. We felt very safe as there is a staffer at the front door gate who also watches the comings and goings from the garage. Great access to 5th Avenue but venturing a block or two away for restaurants is easy. We hope to come back - we can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Amazing Beachfront Condo

Loved everything about staying in F3 at Luna Encantada. The 3 bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. While we didn't cook the kitchen would be fantastic for anyone wanting to do so. The property management on site provided filtered water so that is a plus as well. One of the best parts of the condo is the rooftop deck with hammocks, seating and table, and a grill. After the sun has retreated from the beach and pool for the day you can always go up to the rooftop for a couple extra hours of sunlight. The beach was phenomenal as well. Walking the beach strip daily it's very noticeable that Luna has one of the best taken care of parts of the beach along the playa strip. There is staff that setups up beach chairs daily and will order drinks and food from restaurants next door. The location is also perfectly situated right on the beach but also just off 5th avenue for a quick walk to shopping and food in the evenings. Would definitely return to Luna Encantada and F3 in particular.
