About this property

Mayan Magic El Faro Beach Front - DISCT RATES TEMPORARILY INCLUDES CHRISTMAS

Our condo is our second home and we have made it very comfortable and inviting for our guests to enjoy like we do when we come. El Faro means Lighthouse and this lighthouse has been a landmark in Playa del Carmen for many years. Residences El Faro Condominiums has incorporated the lighthouse on the property.

Our BEACH FRONT condo is only 35 steps to the beach and 170 steps to the FAMOUS 5th AVENUE which is full of exciting restaurants and shops.

The beach you see from our condo offers swimming, wind-surfing, paddle board, kayaking, parasailing, scuba diving, free diving, jet-skiing, and most important a relaxing day on the beach.

Our Condo has a fully equipped modern kitchen including a George Foreman multi purpose grill, or we have a Weber Gas grill on the balcony.

We have tried to incorporate the wonderful Mayan Culture in our wall painting in the living area in hopes you feel the real sense of Mexico.

There are many activities close by including Jungle tours with zip-lines, water/activity parks, Mayan ruins, cenote diving and much more. Come join us for a great vacation.

Can't beat the view, balcony is awesome. Condo had everything you would need. Only downside was both beds are rock hard like sleeping on a piece of wood (some people probably like that). Otherwise, everything was excellent

Beautiful view, fantastic spot!!

Terry’s spot has a brilliant view of the water, amazing pool and location, and my family was absolutely thrilled with the amenities and space!! I wish I was still sitting on the balcony now, listening to the waves. The El Faro staff was friendly and helpful and my family loved that this was quiet and safe, yet situated in the most scenic and lively part of bustling Playa del Carmen—the best of all worlds!

Wonderful condo!

We chose this condo because it had two king size beds and we had two retired couples staying. That was perfect. The views of the pool and the ocean were wonderful! And it was a great pool! The location a short ways off 5th Avenue and right on the beach was amazing. The living areas and patio had plenty of comfortable furniture. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Getaway!

My husband and I were looking for something close to the beach and within walking distance to whatever we needed. This fit the bill perfectly. The photos in the listing were spot on. The condo was cute! Plenty of closet space for our clothing. The bed was clean and comfy … I slept great! The kitchen has everything you need. The pool was delightful and the views were spectacular!! I reached out to Terry several times before we arrived and he was very responsive with great information. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Fantastic condo, location and recommendations!

The condo is beautiful, has excellent staff, and is very comfortable. The pool was also excellent. The proximity to the beach is unreal. Snorkeling right off the beach and walking up to the pool in 5 minutes is crazy! We also loved the town and the nearby trips. All of Terry's restaurant and excursion recommendations were on point. We would definitely stay here again!

Best location, best pool, best condo !!!

Our 4th time staying at El Faro condos, but 1st time staying in Terry & Steve's. By far, the nicest condo that we've stayed in. The decor is over-the-top with a lot of really nice touches from local artists (too much to describe). Comfortable, quiet, cozy, and accommodating. Next time we visit, we're going to stay there again.Great balcony view of the ocean and the pool. Probably the best pool in Playa Del Carmen. Location is probably the best too; shopping, lots of great food, and the ferry, all within a short walk. For the price, it's the best value on the beach.

Great Location in Playa

We found the kitchen well stocked, loved the deck area, made use of the BBQ and took a cooler with us one day down to Tulum and Akumel, which were easy day trips. We loved watching the dive boats load up out front and thought the condo was in a great location - perfect to action but removed just enough to be nice and quiet. Complex very well kept with a lovely large pool.
