We have been to Playa del Carmen several times. This apartment was easily on par with a resort for layout and furniture. It appears to be someone's actual home other than just a rental property. Its obvious that the owners take pride in their property. Kitchen was well equipped. Furniture is clean and in good condition. Bed was comfortable. Communication with host was excellent. We have stayed at other apartments that felt like no one lived there and the property was just for rental.Entire property is well maintained and there is a manned security gate 24 hrs. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely consider for a return visit.

Emma responded promptly to our questions and comments. The unit was clean when we arrived, with everything in order. The complex itself was kept spotless by housekeeping and grounds staff. Security was completely effective. All employees were cheerful and friendly.

Hosts Emma and Walter were fantastic!Gated property, very secure,always a security guard at the entrance.Condo is super clean, living space is smallish but very comfortable.Rooftop patio was superb!New modern WalMart type grocery store (Soriana) around the block, very very nice!You have to walk around the block to get to it as you can only enter and exit the property from the gate.About a 10" walk.Bring bags,none provided.Plentiful taxis at Soriana,we met Daniel, our taxi driver for the month.He said I can share his #: 52 984 168 0993.Wonderful guy! Convenience store (Oxxo) about 10" walk other direction.Excellent WiFi.Smart TVs in LR and both BRs.10" taxi ride to downtown, always ask the charge, for us, it was 100 pesos one way. Plentiful taxis downtown too,walk a few blocks on 10th avenue, away from 5th ave, or the taxi charge will be expensive.Felt very safe there,food was incredible. El Pirata was great for seafood, not fancy but wonderful. Lola's rooftop was beautiful but expensive.Massages at Magic Hands were great! 75 usd for 2 people total (1 hour massage.Extension cord in the unit but bring a power strip as there are not many electrical outlets. Order pesos from your bank prior to arriving,but easy to get pesos from ATM at Soriana tho. Pools are beautiful, grounds clean, well kept. Bring floaties.Mattresses are super firm. Kitchen knives are dull, bring knife sharpener or your own. Very few pool lounge chairs.

The appartement and its environment are great. Other appartements in the buildings are also being rented for vacations, so you have relaxed neighbors coming to the pool, kids have kids to play with, the community pool is huge just as on the pictures. The area is calm, apparently there could be monkeys in the jungle visible from our windows :) but we did not get a chance to see them there. We walked to the beach with the kids 7 and 10. It is reasonable (20-30 minutes walk), but it is far to walk to the center, with 35-40C sunny day. So best is to use a car or bikes to go there. As a family we finally decided to rent a car, collectivos are very common and affordable but can be pretty full, and not easy to find enough room when a family of 4 or more. The appartement itself is perfect, comfortable beds, very well equipped to meet all your everyday life needs and above to feel on vacation. Emma and Walter were great hosts, super responsive, we are happy we found this place for our 2 weeks trip, we would definitely return there when we travel back to the area. Thanks again Emma, you made it easy for us !
