Family wedding!
We had a lovely 7 night stay for a wedding. The photos and description provided are very accurate. It has the best view of resort and beach. The bedrooms are both ensuite, and have plenty of space so you are not living on top of one another. We were greeted with wine, fruit and a welcome card, which was a lovely touch. Drinking water was also provided during our stay - which was very welcome considering how hot it can get. Tara (I believe a property manager) was great, she checked in on us a couple of times during our stay. The condo itself is the perfect distance from everything you could need. The kitchen has everything you could need - we even cooked a few nights in the flat. We took a few leisurely strolls to 5th ave. The walk in the opposite direction is just as nice, with lots of water sporting activities available for purchase. The beach is gorgeous and never crowded. On our last night we even witnessed a giant turtle lay eggs on the beach before returning to the water!!!
Kathryn (the VRBO owner) was very helpful in booking and arranging our stay, and following up to see if everything went okay. I would definitely rent from her again.
Full disclosure, the only reason I could not give our stay 5 stars is we had a few issues with the water, which did pose a few challenges when trying to look our best for wedding photos. Some of the days in the master suite the pressure was so low we weren't able to shower at all. However, Tara advised the pressure does have a tendency to lower at peak showering times i.e. before dinner, etc. The entire resort, including resorts down the road, also had the water switched off for maintenance, so I think that exacerbated any water pressure issues that may have already existed.
We loved Playa Del Carmen - and are planning to return next year :)
