We spent a wonderful 2 week stay in Playa. Gordon was a great host , very helpful and a great communicator. Alma is absolutely wonderful, discreet friendly and keeps the house spotless. The pool is not very big but extremely enjoyable and very well looked after. There is great security on the resort and we felt safe at all times.To summarise we had a wonderful stay in a wonderful house and would highly recommend this place.

Amazing

The house is very nice. It is spacious; it is perfect for family vacay. The house is in a safe private community. The owner and manager are amazing and very helpful. Everything you need is at walking distance such as convenience stores, the beach, some restaurant and fifth avenue. Xcaret parks are very close as well 10-30 minutes driving. My whole family loved it!!!

Great family get away

The property was clean and well kept. It’s a vigorous walk into town for some older folks but doable. The air conditioning in each bedroom was a god send. Very much a family type atmosphere. Alma was great to work with, we loved having her there. We will be back.

Playacar

Location was awesome for both the beach and downtown, found the information booklet provided, which is in both English and Spanish was an awesome resource. Any issues we did have were dealt with very quickly. Alma our maid was very amazing and thorough and easy to work with. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the owner. Our family of thirteen had an awesome family vacation at this residence and we would highly recommend this property.

Amazing beach home and amazing place

Could not have been happier with the accommodations and the help rendered by the amazing housekeeper Alma. Everyone we interacted with was super responsive and top notch in every way including the property owner. The home is very close to the beach in a secluded cul-de-sac where it is in complete harmony with the manicured jungle around it. The small pool connected to the house was also really fun, we actually never ventured to the larger community pool because we like the one at the house so well. My only complaint is that there was some problem with the address where we had a hard time finding it and also our ride back to the airport. Other than that this was a 10/10 experience

Lovely home in enchanted location

It was a fabulous home for multi-gerational gathering. We were a group of 6, but there was plenty of space for additional guests if needed. The host was in communication both before and after we arrived. Any questions or issues were handled immediately. A lovely woman named Alma came every day to take care of house and us. Pool man was there every day and was very pleasant also. The house had a number of updates, but also maintained much of the original Mexican charm. The community of Playacar is great , and very secure. We ranged in age from 3 to 76 and everyone loved it! Highly recommend this listing.

Owner awesome to deal with.

We were 6 adults that stayed in this lovely home for two weeks. The area is beautiful, so well kept. Alma was fabulous, doing all she could to make our time there relaxing and pleasurable, happy and willing to help however she could. The kitchen was well stocked, pots were wonderful to cook with, we found mostly all we needed, only thing I can think of would be to replace the rubber spatula and salad spinner. House was kept very clean, pool cleaned consistently. Great lawn chairs to take to beach, and owner sent in beach umbrella when we asked if one there. The transport service JF Tours that Owner recommends was great, we used them for all out transfers, and their response time was quick and efficient. Furniture good, beds comfy, we weren’t lacking anything. My thanks to the owner Gordon, who is very caring and responsive, was a good vacation. Sam Bishop

Girls trip 40th reunion

Villa Ensueno was a wonderful getaway for a girls trip celebrating 40 years of friendship! Gordon and his on site team were spectacular, responsive and very accommodating! Alma is a dream and extremely hard working along with the pool crew! The home is safe , private and a few minutes to the warm clear beach we visited daily including 3 hours before our return flights!! Highly recommend Romeo’s Italian and Ilios Greek Live Show! Tulum and the Mayan Ruins a must using Gordon’s recommended transport company the day was easy breezy! Our only comment was we didn’t feel it would have worked for 6 adults 55+ who prefer private bedrooms & bathrooms. As it turns out we had 4 and it was perfect! Especially enjoyed the plunge pool at the end of the day to refresh & recharge ! Thank you to Gordon, Elena, Alma and the JF Rivera Tour team for making us feel So welcome !! We highly recommend this rental!!!

Excellent place for family gathering

What a lovely, amazing, magical place Gordon and his family have made here. Plenty of room for many extended family and friends, daily housekeeping services provided by Alma, prompt and courteous communication from both the owner and the on site property manager. It’s close to two different shopping/dining areas, a very short walk to a beautiful, pristine beach, and an easy taxi ride away from so many wonders Mexico offers. We made memories for a lifetime and checked many items off our bucket list (manatees! Snorkeling with sea turtles! Jumping in cenotes! Xavage adventure park! Standing at the base of one of the 7 wonders of the world (Chichen Itza)!). And even with all that, staying at home and enjoying the plunge pool for hours on end was probably one of my kids’ favorite things of the whole trip. Would definitely recommend to others and it will definitely be on our list should we ever return to Playacar. Thank you!

Extended Family Vacation

We stayed for 16 nights for an extended family holiday. Positives were a beautiful home and grounds. We loved the pool and the proximity to the beautiful beach. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. Alma and the rest of the staff were wonderful and took great care of us. Alma went out of her way to do whatever she could to make our stay perfect. We very much appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella. On the downside, we had many issues that arose during our stay. Alma and Gordon were quick to respond to our concerns. Some were fixed immediately, some took more time and I feel some were not addressed at all. Even though it was really no one’s fault that some of these issues happened (mechanical), it still made our holiday less than perfect and even stressful at times.The biggest complaint that I have is with the cockroaches and various other critters that we shared the house with.

Great Family Reunion Vacation Spot!

We had a group of 13 (ages 3 to 70) between 5 different family units staying here for a birthday celebration/family reunion. There was space for everyone, and each couple/single person to have their own room and bathroom. The A/C in the bedrooms was fantastic. The house is on a gated street within a gated community - it’s very safe in the middle of PDC. The walk to the beach only takes a minute, and the beach itself is almost private bc you basically need to be staying in Playacar to access it. We virtually had the beach to ourselves all 10 days. The house pool is also perfect for hanging out - the kids preferred it to the big community pool which is a 2 minute walk. The kids LOVED staying in the pool house (which was very secure - we had been worried about strangers being able to get into the house, but in addition to the house being in a strictly guarded community on a gated street, you need a code to get into the pool house itself). It’s only a few steps from the main house. Communication with the host and the local managers was so easy. I had 3 people I could contact at any point, and they all answered immediately. Alma is an absolute gem - she is a fantastic cook, will have the house completely clean each day even with 6 kids running around, and will answer all your questions about the house and community. We had a fantastic time at this house, and we are thinking about making this our new yearly family reunion spot.

Some Issues

We were very excited to stay at Villa Ensueno particularly in light of the many 5 star reviews. The location is very nice and most of the bedrooms are good. We, however, ran into several serious problems. The pool area was shocking people who walked by it if they were barefoot. We were afraid to use the pool and notified the management immediately. They took 4 days to finally figure out what was wrong, so we didn't get to use the pool for half the trip for fear of electrocution. The A/C unit in the highest "bedroom" was pouring out water and soaking towels which were near electrical appliances and wiring. It took 3 days to get that fixed. Despite mentioning that the dishwasher had residual food inside and wasn't cleaning well, and the clothes washer sounded like it was going to break through a wall on spin cycle, neither were fixed the entirety of our stay. These are all things that could be easily fixed but were not and affected our stay. May your experience be better.

Hi Sorry to hear you had some challenges and is unfortunate I am just hearing about them here on this forum. As you can see from the comments here I am an engaged owner and would have stepped in to ensure the right outiside resources were being called. I am at the house now and met with management about your challenges. Unfortunately the climate here is very harsh on anything electronic. We constantly replace AC units and appliances. I gave the go ahead for a new washing machine.and the dishwasher you had an issue with is only a few months old. As for the electrical issue I was told it was corrected the first day and the staff were there every day addressing your concerns but you had already left for the day. Again is unusual for our guests to not have a great experience and have many each year who return. Thanks for the feedback and hope you will give us a try again!
