About this property
Fab Condo - 14 Steps to Beach, with Panoramic Roof View
Large 1 bedroom condo (1150 square foot) located 14 steps from the beach, next to the Mahekal Resort (formerly Shangri-La). If you know Playa del Carmen, you know the new, trendy area is the north end. Located at the end of a cobblestone beach access road at the beach, you are located at a great stretch of beach in Riviera Maya.
The views from the infinity pool are 180 degree ocean views. The view is nothing less than breathtaking. There is a huge ground level pool with day beds, many chaise lounge chairs and umbrellas, and a bar area with tables in the shade. The rooftop is stunning with an infinity pool, many lounge areas with couches and over sized chairs in the shade, with tables, huge solarium seating area, and chaise lounge chairs, all with a view that will knock your socks off. The rooftop is for the use of about 20 condos, but is huge and can easily accommodate many more.
The building has a side beach entrance with outdoor showers and easy access to outdoor restrooms, all within 14 short steps to the beach. Step out to the beach, turn right and 5 minute walk down the beach and you are in the middle of happening Mamitas Beach Club with great beach side cafés and all the action that is Mamitas. Turn left and you'll find more subdued beach clubs (beach clubs are all open to the public).
Inside the condo, you’ll have a spacious unit with two living areas, dining area, granite kitchen, separate bedroom, large bath, walk-in closet, and terrace overlooking the palm trees and cabana roofs of Mahekal.
This property was designed for holiday guests, and has a lobby with a reception desk. When you arrive you won't have to search for the property manager's office and then make your way to a residential condo building. Just walk into the beautiful lobby and collect your programmed key-card. This building is fully staffed much like a hotel, with 24 hour reception, security, and maintenance. You will enjoy a resort setting with flowers, beautiful landscaping, and amenities you just won’t find in a residential condo building.
Pueblito Escondido is an exclusive property for those seeking modern comforts without the crowds of a big hotel. The property has many common areas that are what you would expect to find in a resort, at a fraction of the price.
This oversized one bedroom unit at 1150 sq ft is larger than most 2 bedroom condos in Playa del Carmen. What you get in most condos is a tiny living area and super small bedrooms. The open floor plan of this condo includes a living area and a separate media area with a wall mounted 40” plasma TV with cable and DVD. The dining room has a large dining table with 4 chairs and the kitchen bar has bar stools for casual meals or that evening margarita. The living and dining room combined create one large expanse of windows and sliding doors that overlook a long private terrace the length of the unit. The well appointed master bedroom has a four poster bed, a small flatscreen television, a large built-in closet crafted from local hardwoods and a stylish bath.
AREA ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS:
* Located in fun-filled Playa del Carmen with 2 mile long 5th Avenue of boutiques and cafés
* Endless beach walking;
* Take a ferry to Cozumel and rent mopeds for the day
* 10 minutes to Xcaret
* 25 minutes to Xel-Hal & Tulum
* Take day trip to Mayan City of Chichen Itza or Coba
* Snorkel trips

What makes this property unique
The location at the beach, the stretch of beach, the fantastic bistros within 2 blocks, the hip beach bars, and the quiet location. Convenience store on the corner. Couldn't ask for more.
