Great place on the beach, within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, grocery, etc. Nice view of the Caribbean and pool area. Beach directly in front of El Faro is submerged, eroded away, with intermittent construction repairs to the closed boardwalk area, but able to access remaining beach heading south toward ferry terminal from side of El Faro property. Excellent communication with Graham (owner), who also helped arrange our ground transport to/from airport. This was our 3rd stay at El Faro.
I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Playa. Close to everything and friendly staff

Wonderful stay -
The location of this property is absolutely fantastic- the views in the morning are spectacular. We had a great vacation --can't wait to go back. The lobby staff are more than helpful and the Manager Silvia was so great- even though we didn't actually meet (we were so busy with activities)she was just a text away. Her response was immediate and we felt very well taken care of during our stay.

El Faro is a fabulous property in an excellent location. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful in a timely manner. The unit itself was spacious and very comfortable. We would give it our highest recommendation, and would return again.

Thanks for the awesome review Eric! You guys were a pleasure to have and we’re excited to welcome you back again down the road!
The unit is clean and comfortable with all the amenities you would find at home. The location is beyond perfect. Everything from food, restaurants, pubs, entertainment, pharmacy, etc literally within steps from the condo. The beachfront was stunning. The swimming pool clean. Premises are well maintained and kept.
We had a wonderful stay. The unit was well kept, clean and comfortable for a 7 day stay. The air conditioner was as cold as you wanted. The kitchen had just enough for cooking in. The showers were good as well.

Property owner responded quickly to emails and questions. VRBO website links for check in and other info did not work properly but owner quickly responded and provided the information. Property was clean, well kept and in a prime location. We have no complaints and would definately stay again.

I almost hate to give this place a great rating because I don’t want people to book up this gem before me! Place is perfectly located for everything. Graham is an awesome host , always quick to answer and accommodate! We will definitely return!

Unit was perfect. Clean, functional, convenient, well equipped, comfortable. The common areas are clean, safe, and well kept. You just can’t beat this condo. Swimming Pool overlooking the Caribbean sea. You take literally 5 steps and you just went from the pool to the beach. Be prepared to make new friends at the swimming pool are. Guests come from all over the world and the vibe invites kindness and friendliness.Don’t hesitate to book. You won’t want to leave.
Property owner was amazing with communicating very easy to reach and respond. Sleeps 4 amazingly, the other 2 not so much hide-a-bed needs a mattress. Pool was very nice & the ocean view beautiful but bring water shoes because the beach/ocean is very rocky. We had a great first visit to Playa Del Carmen and this VRBO is right in the mix of it all. Thumbs up 👍
Thanks Graham

Beautiful vacation!!
This beautiful property was even better in person than it looks in the posted pictures. Our family (my husband and I, along with our 6 and 3 year old kids) had the best time staying here!! The pool and grounds were beautiful, the views, breathtaking!!
Not only that but dealing with Graham from the moment we booked until we left was a real treat. Also, the man working the front desk was always helpful and happy. All staff were fantastic!! Any time we needed anything, it was addressed and taken care of right away.
Finally, the location of this property cannot be beat!! So close to 5th Ave yet quiet at night. We’re already looking forward to booking here for next year!!
Thank you so much, Graham, for allowing us to stay in your amazing property!!
An excellent location if you like being close to nightlife. The condo was beautiful and spacious. We had a couple of issues arise and Graham took the time to respond over a holiday weekend and went out of his way to make it right for us. Can’t say enough good about him as a host. He set us up with a driver too which we later found to be half the cost of what our family paid a few days later.
Just a word to the wise-the facility says no saving pool side chairs but everyone there does. It’s a little annoying but in no way takes away from Gram’s condo.

Amazing Condo w/beach views!
We stayed at El Faro last year and wanted to return & Reef 305 did not disappoint. It was an oasis! The two bedroom place is super spacious, well equipped, and has amazing views of the pool & beach. The only thing that isn't ideal is the open bathroom layout in the master bedroom, however, this isn't a huge deal. The place has AC in each room, a full sized kitchen with pots, pans, silverware and the basics.
Silvia was our on-site host and she was such a pleasure! We had issues with the internet and she was able to get it back running for us the following day! She was there to help set up our arrival and to make sure we had the best time possible. We stayed for a week, so we had cleaning services- which was a great thing! The staff was very nice and kind. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place and any property managed by Silvia & Graham!
