Cute, modern suite, perfect for two people. Perks: amazing view of the ocean from the suite balcony, outstanding view from roof top pool and hot tubs, good location (close to beach and 5th Ave), king bed, very nice little kitchen, relatively quiet, considering the dance clubs are half a block away on the other side of building.Ways the accommodation could have been better: sheets on bed were rough/pilled (need to be replaced), had to bag all toilet tissue (not allowed to flush toilet paper, but no extra garbage bags provided - had to purchase ourselves), only 2.5 rolls of toilet paper provided for a week (had to purchase more to get by), no paper towel provided, AC was working hard, but never got really cold, no hand towel provided, and only one face cloth, 25% of tiles were missing in roof top hot tubs.Overall, a really nice place to stay, as long as you’re prepared for a few oddities.
Everything about this property exceeded all of my expectations. The location couldn’t get better. The staff were amazing. The room was much bigger than I expected and it was very clean and quiet. And the views!!!! The rooftop pools, hot tub and bar were the clincher! On the 5th floor, overlooking the Gulf and beach. During the hottest time of the day, there’s no reason to leave the rooftop until you are ready to get ready to go out for dinner.

Cold shower heaven
A very nice place but lacking a few amenities such as a frying pan only one wash cloth. The entire 10 days we had no hot water in the shower. The hosts response was Sorry about that but did nothing about it.
We had a lovely time at Singular Joy. The location was incredibly convenient and the rooftop pools and bar were even better than the listing photos. The host was very responsive to our questions. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star stay for us was a lingering mildew smell in the room. We also would have appreciated more towels. Two bath towels and one wash cloth for two adults isn't really sufficient for a 4 night stay. But those were relatively minor issues - overall, it was an enjoyable stay.
This space was a perfect match for my week long conference in Playa del Carmen. The space is beautiful and clean with someone downstairs at the front to greet you and answer any questions. The rooftop pool and hot tub were an extra bonus when I wanted to get in the water but it was too late or too windy on the beach.
The ocean view from the balcony is gorgeous and the water is less than a bloc away. 5th Av. Is just a block up to where there is food and shopping and some bars and clubs. However, I rarely heard the dueling nightclubs or music at a volume that felt disturbing. The location is relatively quiet for being right in the heart of a fantastic location.
The host is fantastic and was extremely responsive and gracious in their care for me during my stay. I highly recommend this VRBO! We will be back! Thank you!🌊☀️
