Great condo and location..
We would recommend these accommodations to anyone going to Playa.
El Faro is a fabulous property in an excellent location. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful in a timely manner. The unit itself was spacious and very comfortable. We would give it our highest recommendation, and would return again.

Wonderful stay -
The location of this property is absolutely fantastic- the views in the morning are spectacular. We had a great vacation --can't wait to go back. The lobby staff are more than helpful and the Manager Silvia was so great- even though we didn't actually meet (we were so busy with activities)she was just a text away. Her response was immediate and we felt very well taken care of during our stay.

Beautiful condo in a fantastic location
Beautiful well appointed condo on the beach and walking distance to all of the local shops, bars, and restaurants! Clean, spacious, and overlooking the pool and ocean. Having our own washer and dryer was a huge plus too! Great condo!
We had a wonderful stay. The unit was well kept, clean and comfortable for a 7 day stay. The air conditioner was as cold as you wanted. The kitchen had just enough for cooking in. The showers were good as well.

Stunning view
This condo is in a great location in playa del Carmen !!
Graham was great to rent from he responded quickly to my messages !!
1 block from 5th ave .
Great restaurants in walking distance , Starbucks up the road
Great location!!
Property owner responded quickly to emails and questions. VRBO website links for check in and other info did not work properly but owner quickly responded and provided the information. Property was clean, well kept and in a prime location. We have no complaints and would definately stay again.
I almost hate to give this place a great rating because I don’t want people to book up this gem before me! Place is perfectly located for everything. Graham is an awesome host , always quick to answer and accommodate! We will definitely return!

Beachfront privacy, view, and breezes!
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely condo!
Stellar location! Quiet and peaceful but just a minute from lively 5th Avenida with shops. restaurants and nightlife!
Exactly as depicted on web site!
Very clean and comfortable unit with large terrace for dining, reading , relaxing and gazing at the sea! Beautiful bathrooms and kitchen!
Excellent management responds quickly to any needs or requests!
We hope to return and stay a little longer next year!
An excellent location if you like being close to nightlife. The condo was beautiful and spacious. We had a couple of issues arise and Graham took the time to respond over a holiday weekend and went out of his way to make it right for us. Can’t say enough good about him as a host. He set us up with a driver too which we later found to be half the cost of what our family paid a few days later.
Just a word to the wise-the facility says no saving pool side chairs but everyone there does. It’s a little annoying but in no way takes away from Gram’s condo.

Beautiful vacation!!
This beautiful property was even better in person than it looks in the posted pictures. Our family (my husband and I, along with our 6 and 3 year old kids) had the best time staying here!! The pool and grounds were beautiful, the views, breathtaking!!
Not only that but dealing with Graham from the moment we booked until we left was a real treat. Also, the man working the front desk was always helpful and happy. All staff were fantastic!! Any time we needed anything, it was addressed and taken care of right away.
Finally, the location of this property cannot be beat!! So close to 5th Ave yet quiet at night. We’re already looking forward to booking here for next year!!
Thank you so much, Graham, for allowing us to stay in your amazing property!!

Amazing Condo w/beach views!
We stayed at El Faro last year and wanted to return & Reef 305 did not disappoint. It was an oasis! The two bedroom place is super spacious, well equipped, and has amazing views of the pool & beach. The only thing that isn't ideal is the open bathroom layout in the master bedroom, however, this isn't a huge deal. The place has AC in each room, a full sized kitchen with pots, pans, silverware and the basics.
Silvia was our on-site host and she was such a pleasure! We had issues with the internet and she was able to get it back running for us the following day! She was there to help set up our arrival and to make sure we had the best time possible. We stayed for a week, so we had cleaning services- which was a great thing! The staff was very nice and kind. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place and any property managed by Silvia & Graham!

Unfortunately...I cannot recommend this unit
We stayed here for 2 weeks in February. We have been to Mexico multiple times (more than 10) since 2005. This unit just didnt measure up in any way. First thing...which is not the fault of the owner..the seaweed was horrific. Even though we were on the beach, we only got in the ocean 1 time. Seaweed were in piles on the beach 4-5ft high...and it stinks. So that alone takes away any benefit to staying directly on the beach. The Unit - the owner is prompt to reply, and the property manager on site tries to be as helpful as she can. The pictures look great but the reality is this unit is just old and tired. The kitchen is very poorly appointed - actually the worst i have had in a rental. The toilet kept leaking...we had to get them in twice to fix that. The front door was jamming...they had to come in and chisel away at the lock so it wouldnt jam...The internet..no router in the unit. the owner claims he is not aware of this...i dont know..but he should be! The internet is delivered via a repeater from a 'shared' router. One can only imagine how lousy it was. We use the network to keep in touch with elderly family members when away and also immediate family members. The internet in that unit made it impossible. After a few days i had to turn on my phone and start roaming..I roamed for 9 of the 14 days - the owner did reimburse some of that charge to me...but the point is, this unit is advertised as having wifi and it should be useable. It was as bad as dial up when we 'could' connect. I made it clear to the owner that I have not had to deal with internet that lousy in Mexico since 2008. The dishwasher was leaking...but i was so sick and tired of having workers in, I let that one go and decided to let the next round of renters get that fixed. I will return to Mexico, i have heard there are more and more measures being implemented to deal with the seaweed, but this unit is a no go for us. No one in the group was pleased with it. The pictures look much nicer. This was one of the few times we left Mexico feeling we overpaid.
Property owner was amazing with communicating very easy to reach and respond. Sleeps 4 amazingly, the other 2 not so much hide-a-bed needs a mattress. Pool was very nice & the ocean view beautiful but bring water shoes because the beach/ocean is very rocky. We had a great first visit to Playa Del Carmen and this VRBO is right in the mix of it all. Thumbs up 👍
Thanks Graham
Our experience was great! It is centrally located & within walking distance to everything. The only suggestion would be that they provide more bath towels and a curtain to shut out sunlight and provide more privacy at night. We didn’t realize you could see people in the bathroom at night until halfway through our stay. Oh well I guess our neighbors got a little show! Lol
