Excellent Stay

Our family of 4, with adult kids, loved staying here. The place was in a perfect location and had all the amenities we needed. Steps from the beach and next door to the shopping center with a great grocery store so we could make meals and eat in/on the beach. Best tacos and ceviche at Tia Juana Tacos, across the street. Gina, the host was quick to reply to every need. Thank you!

Exactly as advertised

Literally a few steps from the beach and 3 pools. Big shopping mall across the street with a grocery store, pharmacy and souvenir shops. Convenience store right next door.The condo has everything you need to cook your own meals. This is a gated community and feels very safe. Georgina was quick to respond with any questions we had. Definitely recommend.

Amazing location

This condo is right on the water with 3 pools to enjoy. The beach was beautiful and there were many restaurants within walking distance. The layout is a bit strange with 2 bathrooms on the first level and the kitchen and a bedroom upstairs. The fans did not work. It is very comfortable.

Great Location

The property is in a great location, right off the beach and behind a Huge mall where you can buy groceries. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice but I wish the kitchen was more equipped, but this is a new listing so I’m sure it will get better. The host had great communication and stayed in constant communication throughout our stay. The community had three pools and a bar that served pretty good food at a good price. The security was always present and we felt safe in the location. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Marlin Beach on a budget!

This condo is clean and functional. Both bathrooms are on the main floor so be aware that people in the upstairs bedroom will have to travel down stairs to use the facilities. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioners worked well. These are older condos right on the pretty and well-maintained Marlin Beach. Building maintenance has their hands full upkeeping the exteriors, common areas and pools from the sea air damage. Like in many places, there seems to be a lack of effective plumbing traps and ventilation so sewer smells are present in the bathrooms. We have chosen to stay in this facility twice because of the beach, secure parking, and walkable access to the Soriana grocery store and CDS Dental for dental work. A perfect location for us.

Property is very comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Host was very good with leaving instructions. Condominium complex is a little older and quirky, but security at the complex is terrific and they keep the property very clean. The living room has a beautiful view of the ocean, even with the roof top of the lower property. The only thing to be aware of is that one bedroom is on the upper level while the second bedroom , which is very spacious is on the second level, and both bathrooms were on the 1st level. This condo also has lots of storage space. Would definitely rent this property again.

Sad how we were never told about the construction

Ok to be fair this is a decent spot when there isn’t hammering 8 hrs a day 6 days a week , the entire building was under repair , they knew this yet didn’t tell us before , so we went and put up with the noise , after we simply asked for a fair portion refund , they denied our request saying it wasn’t there fault yet they knew and could have been decent enough to tell us if we wanted to look for another place , so I’d say this group can’t be trusted to be fair, I’d book elsewhere simply because they think of profit over customer service , and I’ve never give a bad review before and we didn’t try to work things out fairly and respectfully.

Great ocean view from the living room

The location was perfect! Beautiful ocean is front of our condo and the bus stop to downtown was just a feet away. Wi-fi worked perfectly and shower worked fine with hot water. Besides the ocean view, the reason why I chose this place was because there was a laundry machines. It was great to be able to use the dryer before packing. All the rooms were very clean and comfortable. However there was one problem with a room in downstairs, there was quite few insects (big ants looking insects with wings) started to fly around at night and it landed on me while I was sleeping and it kept waking me up, but it didn’t bite or anything like that. Otherwise I strongly recommend this room and the owner Gina was very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. Thank you very much Gina!

Friendly staff and comfortable condo

The condo was nicely located in a quieter area of the Hotel Zone and was a great foundation for our activities. The property has three pool areas and a gorgeous beach out front. One of the pools has a little snack bar/liquor bar, which was handy. And the staff was very friendly and attentive and we really appreciated each and every one that worked there. The condo itself is nicely furnished and the bed we used on the 2nd floor was very comfortable. The kitchen is pretty well equipped (except for coffee filters; we left ours for the next guess, as we had to search for some in the area stores). The host thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. There was no wine opener, but we provided feedback about that, so hopefully there will be one very soon. One word of caution: You can see the ocean from the deck, but the view of the beach is mostly obstructed by the roof of the condo in front of the unit. It was still enjoyable to sit out there and watch the waves, though.

About the host

Hosted by Gina Lee

Host profile image
I really enjoy getting to know new places, people, trying the typical food of each city I visit and nature.

Why they chose this property

I am fascinated by this place because of its proximity to the sea and its beautiful turquoise color and soft white sand.
Close to everything, but at the same time in a quiet space.
Cancun is for me one of the paradises on earth.

What makes this property unique

Enjoying the sunrise or sunset from your balcony is priceless.
You can make a vacation that suits you, you have around shopping, nightclubs, beach, restaurants with typical food or international gourmet food, water sports, tours to the jungle, the pyramids, you can go fishing, sailing, diving, snorkeling, swim with the huge whale shark or simply enjoy the beach, the pools, you decide.
