Wonderful condo!

This property was perfect for our group of three couples with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and large living area. It was close to Fifth Avenue, restaurants, bars and convenience stores. The view from the large balcony was amazing! El Faro is a beautiful complex with very courteous staff. Loved it!

Beautiful condo

We have stayed at other condos at El Faro and coral 303 was the perfect condo...Between the views and the beautiful condo. We would definitely stay here again. It’s a block from 5th Ave. and next to Zenzi’s... a half block from Dirty Martini Lounge. Location... location ... location.

3rd stay. Wonderful

Love everything about El Faro. Location. Pool. Beach. It's lively yet chill. The desk people were great. Housekeeping so nice. Security guards are so kind. I stayed a month and had a great time discovering Playa. Pepe the cab driver is a gem.

Excellent location but lousy beds

The condominium is great and the location is perfect for a family with teens. However, the condominium did not have some items at least we think are some basics for a rental: board games, pens (think bored teens during a rain storm) and the like.

Gorgeous get away

Pictures don't do justice how beautiful of a view we had. Condo was clean and front desk staff was friendly. Security rounded very often so we felt safe. Very close to 5th Avenue action and clubs but once inside it was very quiet. Had a problem with dishwasher but property management was quick to resolve it. We would love to come back and stay her again. Highly recommend!

Great home base for exploring Riviera Maya

Coral 303 is as nice as the pictures show. The unit is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The location is great, right on the beach, yet a block off 5th avenue allowing you to stroll out to a different spot for dinner each night. Short walk to the pier for daytrip to Cozumel. Had a great day trip to Coba ruins and cenote. This is the last year these ruins will allow you to climb the temple. Highly recommend Alux Restaurant, in which you dine in an underground cavern with stalagmites. Bought a trip to Xel-ha from the guys at the kiosk right outside the front of El Faro- fun day- think adult waterpark since all drinks are included :)

Playa is the bomb!

Unit was great. Unbeatable location to restaurants, groceries, morning coffee joint etc...Playa Del Carmen has really grown and the restaurants and bars available are endless. The beach is OK, better options at Xpu Ha, Tulum, and Paraiso. Do not go to Akumal as it is now a tourist trap. You cannot even snorkel beyond a certain point without a guide, which is ridiculous. The toilets need some work as they were often getting clogged😢 Unlimited party right down the street 😉 Enjoy

Perfect spot for a getaway

We cannot say enough about this property! It was a perfect fit for our family of four. The condo exceeded our expectations in every way - from the condo itself and the pool/beach, to its proximity to multiple restaurants, shops and the ferry to Cozumel. We spent a lot of time at Inti, Zenzi and Parrillo restaurants. We rented a car with ease and drove to Tulum/Xel-ha. We also spent a day driving around Cozumel. Our favorite day was spent at Xplor. The beach has tons of activities, including parasailing, a banana boat, jet skis, snorkeling, fishing… Our kids loved everything about this place as well, which is high praise. Muchas gracias for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to return some day soon.

Great view, convenient location

Walkable to everything! Property is just as listed. Close to hundreds of shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the ferry to Cozumel. Music from the beach clubs can go late into the night, but you can't hear it from inside the condo unless you have windows open. Awesome pool with nice area for kids off to the side. Beach is very small, and currently covered in seaweed in the mornings, but they work so hard to clean it each day between 7-10am. Very clean property with very few maintenance issues. The air conditioning was a little lacking in the master bedroom, but I'm sure it's a quick fix. Definitely would come back!!!

El Faro Coral 303

This is a beautiful unit with stunning views of the pool and ocean. Bed was comfortable pillows were horrible. Air conditioning worked great. There were a few maintenance issues that we photoed and sent to property managers, who were very responsive. We were supposed to have maid service every other day, did the very minimum. Didn’t empty garage or change towels, made some beds and not others. Overall a great property with lots of room and excellent property management.

Beautiful condo in a great area

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at El Faro. The staff was very pleasant and Benjamin was very helpful. On our first day the AC leaked water when we turned it on and within 10 minutes, we had someone that came to fix it. The view of the pool and ocean were absolutely gorgeous. The location was perfect, near the ADO, quinta and everything we enjoyed doing. We met some permanent residents during our stay there who were also very friendly, Dennis and Mickey. They have great recommendations for food if you run into them. The beds were comfortable and showers were great. There were 6 of us and we all comfortably shared rooms. We did have trouble getting fresh towels, but I believe that was by the hotel staff itself and not the condo. I liked that we received bracelets for the pool. It avoided having strangers or overpopulation of the pool. There was also consistent security which made us feel safe. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend staying here. We will definitely be back!

Annual Mexico Trip

El Faro is a beautiful well maintained property. I would recommend to anyone! This was our 3rd year staying here. Seemed to be quite a lot of children this year - sometimes not convenient at the pool area. Also, we had a lack of bath towels & absolutely no bath hand towels. We knew enough to bring our own washcloths. Otherwise we were quite happy with our experience.

Beautiful apartment with stunning view

I cannot say enough good things about this apartment in El Faro. The panoramic, two-story view of the pool and ocean is amazing. The apartment is huge, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, three sitting areas, two dining areas (including balcony), and a nice kitchen. The apartment is spotlessly clean, and all appliances worked perfectly. The swimming pool is amazing and open for morning and evening swims. The location is close to all kinds of shopping, restaurants, and the ADO bus station. And the ocean is right there, so accessible, with a well-maintained beach. The El Faro staff are lovely. Our stay here in Playa del Carmen was wonderful.

Cannot recommend this place more!

Stayed for week with family of 6. Wish I could give 6 stars. Condos were very clean and well guarded 24 hours, always felt safe. Pool was fantastic, and they did a good job making sure everyone would get a chair by pool if they wanted. Location could not have been better. 2 min walk to 5th Ave, but far enough off that sound was never an issue. Could barely hear clubs at night if you were sitting on your patio, but inside was fine. Under 5 mins and you were on 5th Ave with shopping, restaurants, 10 min walk to Cozumel ferry, and 5-7 min walk to either Walmart or Mercado for shopping. Check was smooth and easy, and placed had a cleaning crew every other day. Management was super fast in responding to issues, and we are absolutely looking at coming here again. One of the best vacations we have ever had.
