I have stayed at this property in a 2 bedroom condo before. I really like the area. I had a problem accessing the condo when I arrived due to the code you need to enter. There is a property manager on site so they came and got me sorted pretty quickly. The pool was wonderful since there was a ton of seaweed coming in that week. The 1 bedroom condo was nice and well kept. I enjoyed my stay.

Great location. Loved sitting on the oceanfront deck. Communication during the stay was quick, pleasant and helpful. Very close to 5th ave and Cozumel Ferry.

Thank you, Hamilton! We are so glad to hear you had a wonderful stay at our condo and enjoyed the location & amenities. We would be happy to host you again!
The overall resort was nice I believe the unit could use a deep clean and add a few more things to the kitchen to make it more accommodating for a long stay whenever I contacted the property manager they always got right back to me

Thank you Annette! we appreciate your feedback and will definitely look into these points. Overall I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us!
This condo has a gorgeous infinity pool and is steps from the ocean. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the condo was clean and well appointed. Perfect for families with a full kitchen and walking distance to WalMart for groceries. Also great for an adults only vacay with clubs, bars and restaurants nearby. Walking distance to the ferry as well. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Thanks for the awesome review Keith! I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us . Our location is key since we are at the heart of Playa. We hope to see you again soon.
The apartment was exactly as advertised. It was directly on the ocean. Morning coffee and afternoon cocktails on the balcony were very enjoyable. It is next to a beach front restaurant that had very good food made more enjoyable by eating at a table on the beach with the waves lapping at your feet. Highly recommend this stay. Property manager was very responsive.

Thanks for your feedback Jose, we will bring this up to our owners to consider . However none are promoted in our listing. I am glad you enjoyed the condo though :)
We absolutely loved our stay. The unit was exactly as pictured. The ocean view was spectacular. It’s in a perfect location to everything Playa has to offer. The front desk staff were very helpful. Opportunity for improvement would be a system to not allow people to claim the pool chairs early in AM and then leave them unattended for long periods. Overall, we’d love to return someday and would want Surf 308 again!!

Thanks for a wonderful Review Leslie! I am delighted to know you enjoyed your stay. Chairs should be on a first come first served basis we will reach out to the administration. We'd love to host you again.
This was our first time in Playa, and this place did not disappoint. In my opinion it’s the best on this stretch of beach. I would recommend to all my friends. I would give it more than 5 stars if that was possible. The infinity pool looking out to the ocean is dreamy. Absolutely loved it. Everyone that works there are so nice, n helpful. Getting a message at the pool area was so amazing I did it more the once. Would definitely stay again
