DETAILS TO NOTE - Please be aware that seaweed is a natural phenomenon that hits Quintana Roo beaches, especially during the summer months (Apr-Oct). While the local team at El Faro and the municipality do a great job in cleaning it up, it can affect your ability to enjoy the beach and the ocean, so please make yourself aware of the current state of the seaweed, as we cannot offer refunds for issues related to seaweed.
- The central location of this property gives you access to the best that downtown Playa del Carmen has to offer. Due to our location next to restaurants and bars, you may experience some noise at this location. We do not offer refunds for noise issues. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay!
- Your booking automatically includes a damage protection policy. Should any minor accidental damages occur during your stay, we will cover you up to $1,000. We understand accidents happen, so we've got your back! However, if we determine damage was willful or negligent, we will charge an additional cost based on the damage itself.
- The beach in front of El Faro will come and go seasonally, at times the ocean comes all the way up to the deck and the common area administration will block this area for security purposes. Please exercise caution and comply with any common area association rules.
- We have a no-tolerance rule about parties and loud noise, so please be aware that complaints from neighbors, notifications from authorities, notifications from our noise monitoring software, or any other proof of disruptive behavior or loud noise between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM will result in fines of up to $1000.00, possible eviction and / or possible legal action if authorities are involved.
-The beach condition changes every day, weather and hurricanes tend to affect how wide the sand area is in our photos- sometimes the water reaches up to the deck.
- Please note that due to El Faro's security protocols, before your arrival, we will request a photo of each guest's ID that will be at the property during your stay.

Beautiful quiet property close to everything in Playa del Carmen. Loved the umbrella service everyday and the cool bar/restaurant on the beach next door. Had a couple of broken items in the rental but maintenance came next morning and fixed them promptly. Would stay there again

The place was perfect, right on the beach yet close to everything you may need from groceries, dining, shopping, activities. Walkable to all of the fore mentioned. Our condo had all of the necessities. Loved waking up looking at the water. Our family of 6 had a nice relaxing week.

The condo was clean, fresh, and in a perfect location. The living room and master bedroom had a lovely view of the ocean and we got to enjoy both the sunrise and sunsets from there. We walked everywhere and got to explore with ease and proximity to everything. We loved it and would stay at Reef 302 again!

The condo was fantastic. It was well stocked with all the appliances, bedding and linen, plus water bottles ready to go. It was clean and the location of the complex is close to everything such as shops, restaurants, transportation, diving and the beach is steps away. The staff of El Faro is amazing and work so hard to make guests comfortable. It’s always appreciated when owners of these condos rent them out so we can enjoy a vacation.

This was the perfect place! right on the beach, view is spectacular! The condo was clean and just the right size for me and my husband, plus a few more if we had some friends. eclectic art, awesome balcony where we spent the majority of the time relaxing and enjoying the view of the sea. Great infinity pool, shallow end for kids as well. Get a massage by the pool, worth it!! I liked that security is at the pool/beach area to make sure its only guests. We will definitely be back & stay @ Reef 203!!

Incredible property, would stay again tomorrow if we could!
To start, the complex is incredibly clean, safe and beautiful. There is full time security, the grounds are impeccable and the setting in unforgettable.
The unit is one of the most well laid out venues if I have stayed in. The kitchen has almost everything you could need, the bedrooms are cozy and very updated. Waking up to the sunrise, having a constant view of the water and an AMAZING balcony are just a few things of many that I could talk about. I cannot wait to stay at this property again. Thank YOU for allowing us to stay in your condo and giving us an incredible vacation. We will never forget it.♥️

Wow Erin! it makes us really happy to know you enjoyed your vacation with us and we hope to have you back again.
WIfe and I stayed here one week. We had a great time. Perfect location on the beach and security keeps the beach sellers off the property. One block from 5th Street with great restaurants. Only glitch was about one week before we left for Playa we got a message saying the apartment we had rented was not available due to an "electric problem". They switched us to another apartment on the property. That apartment was fine but not the one we had rented (different decor, no lounge chairs on the balcony, etc). Overall, a great value and location. Would definitely stay here again!

The property is as described and you can just walk to the local shops, restaurants and the beach.
There’s only two things I will like to point out, they have the slowest Wi-fi ever and I wish they would of say at front you have to pay for parking. The description does not mention you have to pay around 15 U.S. dollars per day, I got the notice right before my check in, too late to look for another option. Overall the condo and the area are great!
The property appears to be very well managed. Both the rental unit and the grounds were clean, secure and well maintained. The unit was very well appointed and all the appliances worked. A beautiful pool & beach. Our only complaint was that we had trouble with the internet. It took 3 days to connect, & when connected - it was slow. Also, the nightclub music from around the corner (especially the low base notes) kept my husband awake - even with earplugs. I was able to ignore it & sleep. Overall, our family of 4 had an absolutely wonderful holiday! Thank you for the memories.

Thank you for your detailed review of our property. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you and your family had an overall wonderful holiday experience with us. Sadly the internet in the entire building is being changed from copper to Fiber optic which will eventually be fantastic but we've had issues in the transition. I am glad you enjoyed your stay overall.
First of all - the good! Great location!!! Property managers were prompt when called about fixing issues. The balcony was nice and views were as depicted.
The bad - the couches had ugly brown covers on them and there was a huge strange naked lady pic on the wall. I immediately pulled up the listing to make sure I was in the right place because I would have never selected this unit based on how it looks now. Please just get new couches and maybe beach themed art - or update pics to show people what they are really getting.
