Beautiful Condo in a Perfect Location

My family stayed for week in this luxurious 3 bedroom condo. It was exactly as described and pictured on VRBO. Check in was smooth and all our questions answered immediately. The condo was very well appointed with anything you could possibly need. There were even games and beach toys for children. It was also impeccably clean and all the beds and furniture were very comfortable. The location could not be better. It is right on the beach and just one block away from the main street. Tons of restaurants, shops and bars are within walking distance. Also, the pool is the best I have ever seen. It has many levels so even little ones can enjoy it. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful Condo on Beach

The condo was just as described. Great location for family get away. Even though it was difficult to communicate with the property owner, the property management team was amazing and quick to help with any questions. I highly recommend this location. WhatsApp is a must for easy communication. I recommend contacting Jonathan with Xcursion 307 for shuttle service from the airport and if interested in exploring Tulum. Thanks to the property management team and Jonathan and Jaime with Xcursion 307 we had a fantastic time.

Decent but….

We felt this place should have been cleaner and better maintained for the class of rental that it is. House keeping was non existent throughout our week stay and was definitely not spotless when we showed up.

Best vacation ever!

Very clean and spacious condo conveniently located near everything!! We stayed almost 2 weeks without a car. 5th Avenue is only a 2 minute walk and Walmart is only 10. We loved the condo's interior and the sea view is even better than pictured. Two things requiring interior improvement: bed mattresses are extremely firm (we purchased egg crate type mattress topper foam from Walmart and left them behind upon departure), and the bedrooms' Cuby smart thermostat systems would not detect a person sleeping at night. They would shut off the A/C units to conserve electricity which made for uncomfortably warm sleeping. The condo property's exterior was very well kept and beautiful except the beach front. We were shocked to arrive and find that the beach side of the El Faro property was destroyed in early December by a storm. The wooden beach decking and the showers on the infinity side of the pool were no longer useful and caution taped off. There is no useful beach in front of El Faro except for a narrow path for pedestrians to pass along the shore side of the property. We did use the sand beach three properties south of El Faro at the Aloha Paddleboard Club. The El Faro staff is top notch. Everyone was very nice and super helpful from the front desk managers, porters, security, maintenance, and housekeeping. To summarize, we made a couple of small adjustments and had the best vacation our family has ever had at El Faro in Playa Del Carmen in comparison to 6 other Mexican vacations.

Great downtown location, great pool

Overall very satisfied but previous renters left late which made our check in after 5pm. All the previous comments are accurate, great pool, views, layout, location/restaurants but… the tiny bugs do come out if cooking (but that’s everywhere I expect), it’s a bit loud (but didn’t disturb our sleep), beach is eroded directly in front of property (can swim in the ocean next door), WiFi not strong upstairs Overall very pleased!

About the host

Hosted by Lorelei

We are owners of a manufacturers representative company for HVAC products in Saskatchewan Canada. We enjoy holidaying and spending time with family and friends especially in Playa which seems like a second home to us and our three children.

Why they chose this property

After our first visit to the Mayan Riviera in 2000 we fell in love with the area and kept returning we then decided to purchase our first property at Paseo del Sol in 2004. We enjoy the many great aspects of Playa from the diverse cultures, ease of walking to all restaurants and shops. We find we can enjoy something different every visit and still go back to do our favourite things. The ease of getting to the Mayan Riviera is just another bonus for us and our friends.

What makes this property unique

El Faro is one of a kind in Playa as it is 1/2 a block from the entertainment district and one block from the famous 5th ave the unique parts of this as you step inside the complex you feel like you stepped into seclusion as the sounds of the action around the complex just seem to disappear. With the onsite 24 hour security your whole family feels completely comfortable day and night. The huge infinity pool with integrated kids pool and the multiple lounging areas around the pool offers a uncrowded feel.
