Awesome roof top deck and private pool with an ocean view! This place is clean and roomy and has everything you need. The location is feet from the beach and 2 blocks from shopping, which was perfect for us. The complex has a great pool too and was quiet and nice.
Hotel was just fine for a short stay in a great area. Unfortunately, we paid for the rooftop pool unit but a cold snap made the pool far too cold, as it’s unheated. We had some toilet maintenance issues that were addressed quickly. Beds were a little firm for us. We were very impressed by the number of excellent restaurants within walking distance. The beach is also a very short walk, but chairs and drinks are expensive and no chairs or beach towels provided by the unit.
Loved the Aldea Thai vibe. The property was well maintained and the rooftop space was perhaps my favorite perk of the apartment. The staff was kind and Fernando was especially friendly and helpful.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your kind words. We will pass on your comments to Fernando and the rest of the staff. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Playa del Carmen :)
I have stayed at Aldea Thai over 10 times during the past three years and this condo is by far the best in terms of cleanliness, view, management response, etc. There are many nice units at Aldea Thai, but trust me this is the one you want to book.

Thank you so much!!! We are very happy to hear that you loved our place!! :)
Please come back at any time!
We enjoyed our stay at the Aldea Thai! The grounds were well kept and maintained. The unit itself did have small maintenance issues like a bathroom light bulb being out, and the jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom being inoperable, but these were not deal breakers for me. Everyone in our party was comfortable and we will return!

Great location
Sometimes hard to communicate with host but she was very friendly and helpful when needed
First, let me say that we truly loved this condo. The location, floor plan, and overall property were all excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. That said, there were a few issues I felt should be mentioned for future guests that prevented me from giving a 5-star review.When we booked the property, we chose to use the transportation service offered through the property for airport transfers. I was told the choices were a van or a full-size SUV. I specifically requested a full-size SUV and was assured that was what we would receive. However, transportation both to and from the airport was provided in a van instead.Another issue involved the listed amenities. The VRBO listing advertised a microwave, stove, and oven. However, there was no actual oven in the unit. The host stated that the microwave served as the oven, but it was not a convection microwave and did not function as one.The final issue was communication with the host. During our stay, we attempted to arrange a cleaning service, and it took nearly two days of back-and-forth communication just to get it scheduled.Overall, we genuinely loved the property and were able to work around these issues. I simply felt it was important to mention them so future guests have accurate expectations.

I initially thought it was too good to be true & there would be not be as described. Boyyyyy....was I wrong! The property was as BEAUTIFUL & just as described & seen in pictures. Location was perfect to the beach and 5th Ave. The host responded quickly to all of my inquires. My friends & I enjoyed ourselves.

We LOVED this condo! It was perfect for our family of 5. The rooftop patio and pool were the crowning jewel. The location is great with easy access to the beach and 5th Ave. We had one little issue at check-in, that was just a little laps in communication but it was quickly resolved. The two suggestions I would make for improving the space would be a dryer for wet towels & swimwear and a light in the stairway that leads to the rooftop. Other than that, we absolutely could not ask for a more perfect experience!

Great place....great location!
I would stay in this unit the next time we visit. Our families 2nd trip to Playa and this is the location you want to stay and the unit is excellent. Beach block - in this location you'll be glad the development is not right on the beach. Walk out the development and there is everything - food, bars, convenience stores, pharmacy, etc - all on the way to beach - 1 minute walk and lots of activity. Walk the other direction and the start of 5th avenue is a 2 minute walk. The unit itself is exactly as pictured - rooftop unit has it all. Spacious bedrooms with plenty of living space. The rooftop pool is a great size and heated. Both the management company and owners are helpful and responsive.
My 50th Birthday trip to Playa Del Carmen was amazing. We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were great. Perfert location, walking distance to restaurants, night life, and shops, plenty of space. The unit was clean. The roof top terrace is everything. The swim up bar was nice. Not too crowded. The area is peacefulNo cleaning/towel or trash removal services are offered daily. There is an option to pay for services. Good thing we always travel with extra linen. The kitchen was well stocked. Trash build-up was an issue seeing as there was 8 of us in the unit. You'll need to purchase trash bags as there is none provided outside of what's already in the trash cans upon arrival. We experienced plumbing issues that we had to address several times. Which was taken care of everytime we reached out. Stella Rentals is very responsive and thorough. Overall; we had a wonderful stay. I would stay again. 4 star rating due to plumbing issues.
Many of the water fixtures were not working properly. The hot tub and the master room doesn't even work at all as well as the guest shower alternator. There is constant banging from multiple construction sites across the hall off and on all day. The hot water was not working this morning. There is so much chlorine in the private pool it is not even enjoyable and stung my kids eyes. The room and building as a whole is poorly maintained. This is not luxury living as advertised. Maybe 10 years ago. We are disappointed as we were very excited upon arrival. It seems to us like the owners are just milking their investment and management doesn't have the passion or motivation to keep the place up. Who rents to people knowing their is construction right across the hall? That's just wrong. Who rents to people when the water doesn't work properly and didn't check first? We were debating on leaving but since we're just leaving tomorrow we decided to stay our last night. Thank you to the people who came to repair the issues and I hope you never have to deal with something like this when you save up your money and take your family on vacation 4000 miles away from home.

We are very sorry to read your review please accept our apologies if the stay was not what you expected. Regarding the chlorine in the pool, the pool is treated chemically regularly, we will verify that the levels are adequate. The jets of the tub in the master room is out of order, as indicated on the listing and it is due to be replaced in the next couple of months.
We are sorry if there was maintenance work carried out in another apartment in the complex, regrettably, we are not informed of the neighbour's maintenance schedule but the condo rules do not allow for construction noise before 9 am or after 5 pm. Regarding the water, there was indeed an issue with the building cistern and pump, which caused low water pressure in the 3rd Floor Penthouses of various buildings. We wish you had informed us of this situation on the day of your arrival and not on your last night, we could have tried to relocate you to another condo in the complex. Once again, our most sincere apologies and we hope to be able to host you some other time and change your perception.
Excellent location and Very good value-Would stay here again
I have come to Playa twice per year for the last several years. This is my second time staying in a condo in Aldea Thai and my first time staying in this particular condo. One thing that stood out is the easy communication with Daniela and Angel who always responded to my questions and requests. This is very important especially when you're on vacation in another country and that certainly entices me to stay here again. I thank them for their hospitality during our stay. Aldea Thai is my favorite condo to stay in because it is just close enough to Mamitas Club (which we preferred to Kool Beach beach club) that you can walk there in minutes and close enough to fifth avenue to walk in minutes but far enough away from the clubs and street noise which can be really loud in other locations. This particular condo is really nice in that it is closer to the ocean side. Sitting on the roof top deck, which we often did having our wine and cheese while watching the sunset is pretty spectacular. It's also nice to know that there is security poised at the entrance and thus you feel more secure staying here especially if with family. Aldea Thai is, in general, an older building compared to some of the new properties that are coming up in Playa and so to be honest, it does show some wear and tear and maybe could use some freshening up i.e. furnishings, bathrooms ,etc. but that's probably true of all the condos in this building. Only other issue is noise. The building has a policy of no music after midnight. The problem with this is that on 2 of our 4 nights, the condo opposite of us played their music incredibly loud. There doesn't seem to be a policy on music volume. The same condo opposite us, at one point seemed to be having a party and this seemed to be tolerated by the condo security. I have no issue with residents wanting to enjoy their company and music but when it becomes disruptive to our relaxation and enjoyment, I think that requires some intervention by the condo security. My one wish is that maybe one day the condo could have a small washer dryer -when you're on vacation with your family- it helps to be able to wash clothes so you can pack less clothing. One thing to realize is that despite my last few comments, this condo is an excellent value for the space, bathrooms, location and most importantly the roof top deck. It's really hard to beat this view and location. I suspect if it were newer, it would be much more expensive to stay here.

Wheelchairs, poor maintenance & no front desk help
The property itself was nice but maintenance had been neglected. The worst of it was the lack of hot water in the kitchen and one of the bedroom baths . That took almost a week to fix during our 10 day stay.
The plunge pool water was cloudy when we arrived because the water level was very low; so low that it was below the skimmer pot inlet. That was fixed on day 4 of our stay.
The listing says wheel chair accessible. That was a stretch to say the least. Yes, there is an elevator (actually needed two different ones to get to our 3rd floor room with no clear direction or map from the front desk upon check-in - CONFUSING!!!) Then we discovered that there was no elevator to access the pool deck, so my wheelchair user wife had to struggle with a long stairwell up to the pool deck, using a hand rail that was rusted off the wall in two places (also finally fixed on day 4 of our stay).
Also, the raised threshold on the entry door (to keep rainwater from entering the apartment creates a challenge for any wheelchair user.
Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this property though was the complete lack of accountability or assistance from the front desk staff. It was clear after 3 or 4 attempts to solicit help from the front desk for anything (even including recommendations to local restaurants) that they were there to check you in and out and nothing more. One maddening episode occurred where a cleaning crew would not exit the elevator to allow us to take my wheelchaired spouse down to the ground floor. We had to wait 10 minutes before they completed their cleaning.
The bright spot was our Angel Host service lady, Gladys Marroquin. Though clearly overworked, she made the effort to come to the apartment on the 3rd day of our stay and got the hot water, faulty hand rail and poor pool water fixed. She even provided a free maid service to clean the apartment, change the bed sheets and have our party of 6 clothes laundered halfway through our stay as an apology for the poor maintenance. She was wonderful!
As mentioned at the beginning of this review, the property is nice. It could have been wonderful if expectations had been better set about three things:
- what “wheelchair accessible” really means at the Aldea Thai
- had maintenance been performed on the property
- that there is no concierge service at the front desk
The bottom line was that this property disappointed us.

Best regards.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Bait and Switch Oversell
Positives: The plunge pool and rooftop. The unit did have much of what we needed in terms of items. The A/C, when not cut off, worked fantastic, the Big screen TV worked great as did the Internet. I still wish I could get some $$ back.
Now the rest: The place is worn, badly worn. It truly is not a 3 bedroom unit, but actually a 2 bedroom apartment with an "adjoining" hotel room (for the property) that can be added as a 3rd bedroom, and not a great room at that. The towel rack about to fall off, toilet paper holder same as well as faucet to the bath sink. Also the above mount sink has splashed so much water on the mirror that the frame is beginning to separate from the mirror. Safe didn’t work, nor the hairdryer.
Now the Kitchen, some of the outlets (plugs) in the kitchen did not work, the refrigerator freezer door had been beat on and was all dented up (luxury?). Tiles on the floor have become loose and grout has begun to come up (not a deal breaker).
The living room, all are designed the same, the cloth sofa area needed some serious steam cleaning, you could see stains on it as well as the musty remains of mildewing from being near a humid environment. That and they weren't all that comfortable. Some plugs here didn’t work as well.
The other master bedroom had an absolute flood coming in through the bedroom window, thus one beach towel was used to mitigate said flood. The other double bedroom was not used and it seemed the TV in it had been moved somewhere else. The bathrooms seemed a bit better on this side of the unit. Their hairdryer worked, but safe never worked.
Also, the beds are platform type, but not on a true platform, so a bit uncomfortable.
At check in, they stated that they cut power and water if anyone was loud (we are in our 60’s haha). But many were, all night. But interesting enough the power and water went off our last 4 nights. All 4 of us had Turista, so a working toilet would have been nice and sanitary. Also, the power tripped the wifi thermostat, thus my wife and I woke up 3 nights straight with our room at 88 degrees. I just think they told us that so they could do it anyway. BTW the front desk folks were useless.

Dear Robert,
First of all, we are deeply sorry that your stay was not pleasant.
Unfortunately, the weather during your stay was not the best and that may have caused the flood. As for the non-working amenities, we are very sorry that you had to encounter so many issues during your stay, they should have been working properly so that your stay was not affected. Sadly, our team was not made aware of your situation until now. In any case, your feedback is very valuable to us and please be sure that your comments are treasured to improve the amenities and service at the property.
Just perfect! We loved this property. Aldea Thai was absolutely elegant. Our rooms were tasteful, spacious, well appointed. There were some minor finishes that require maintenance or updates, but this does not detract from the overall quality of the condo. We were overwhelmed by the rooftop. The pool was far bigger than I expected and was amazing, we used it so much! The view is incredible. Great location, we enjoyed Mamitas and the many many excellent restaurants that we could walk to. I opted to have my groceries delivered and they did such an excellent job, not only with our groceries, but also accommodated my special request for a specially item (best tamales ever!) Great communication from host and service, highly recommend.

The check in process was very easy and the Host was very responsive throughout our stay. Awesome rooftop area! Steps from the beach. The place was clean and close to many places.
location was perfect for our family, close to the beach (roughly one block) and close to all the shopping and restaurtants. We found we loved the restaurants on Calle 38 the best. Just a short walk from our location. Overall with rooftop pool, main pool and beach we had plenty to do. Communication with hosts and vimex group in arranging a chef was easy!
