Everything was excellent, nice place.

The view of the sea from multiple balconies was spectacular. Easy check in, spacious, short walk to many restaurants, and the music from the neighboring beach club was actually a nice addition (only heard it from the balcony, not the bedrooms). A couple of cons about the area—first time in Playa Del Carmen and they built very close to shore line so not my favorite walking beach; very crowded on the weekend; condo is fixing a walkway in front of the pool so there is some unattractive tape in front of the view between the pool and sea.

This condo is right next to a beach bar. The music can get a little loud of an evening, but it didn't bother us. It didn't impact our ability to go to sleep. If you wanted a very quite place, this condo might not be for you. The beach and pool were great! We didn't have a car and it worked out fine. We could walk the 4-5 blocks to Wal-Mart and then took a 100 peso cab back to the condo. There's a cab stand with posted prices (a little high but at least posted) which was nice. The TV in the living room was a smart TV and it was great that we could easily watch Netflix and other things. I would definitely go back.

Overall, we had a wonderful time, it is unfortunate that there is so much seaweed on the beach, but there is not much to do about that. We ended up not getting the room reserved due to electrical issues and the new room had its own issues resulting in the need to work with management continually. They were responsive and seemed to do their best, but it was disappointing.

This location is amazing. The grounds, pool, and property were immaculate. Everyone who works on site was so nice and professional. The condo was perfect for our family. We were able to grocery shop just 5 blocks away at Walmart and use the kitchen for breakfasts and snacks and mixing cocktails. Our views were insane. Watching the sunrise every morning from our deck with coffee in hand and hearing the waves crash on the beach was awesome. The management team and staff were 5 star. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Great Location. -1/2 block from 5th Fabulous wraparound deck with lounger chairs - great views! -3 Bathrooms -Nice kitchen, good amenities for condo -"feels safe" 24Hr security -It has a very nice pool, -be nice if open later than 10pm Although beach not private, it effectively is a private space... not many non guests hang out here. -Internet -CircleK right downstairs for little necessities. (10pm curfew for liquor) and pharmacy across street Grocery with in a couple blocks and Walmart if needed. Location and view were great. It has a very nice pool and attendant gets you umbrella as soon as you get there. Great amenities for a condo. The sargassum was pretty bad but that is not the property’s fault. Please note that there is not much of a beach in this area. The people we dealt with at check in and also through email were amazing. I will definitely stay here again

We had everything we needed. Location and view were great. It has a nice pool. Great amenities for a condo. The sargassum was pretty bad but that is not the property’s fault. To my surprise the smell was not that bad. Please note that there is not much of a beach in this area. Not sure if it was due to a hurricane/storm. You have to walk past Hilton resort, almost to the Mahekal resort for a nice beach area. Or you can walk towards the ferry side. Security at the condo is great. The people we dealt with at check in and also through email were amazing. I will definitely stay here again.

So overall value of this stay was very high. Two full 3rd floor balcony views of the Ocean would cost you $500 a night at any hotel. Its a condo , that apparently is currently for sale; so I'd guess owners are upside down and are looking to re-cover money anyway possible. Pros... -Location. -1/2 block from 5th -Views. Wrap around Deck is saweet! -3 Bathrooms -Nice kitchen -"feels safe" 24Hr security -It is a very nice pool, -be nice if open later than 10pm Although beach not private, it effectively is a private space... not many non guests hang out here. -Master suite has ocean balcony -Internet -Price After smoke clears... its $220-$250/NIGHT! -CircleK right downstairs for little necessities. (10pm curfew for liquor) Cons: -Stove is junk. Buttons so worn out you cant even read them. We didn't use, so no big deal to me..... -Things are needing a little TLC. Handyman could have place whipped back into shape in a week, if owners would just do it. Just little things.... paint, patching, loose tiles. -Only 2 guests allowed .....(although after 9, front desk folks are nowhere to be found; so not sure how they'd police that) -There's a bar next door that rocks pretty good on weekends... until midnight. then things settle down. -if you're a night owl.... that wouldn't matter, but if you go to bed at 8..... might be an issue. -Furniture a bit worn out. Indoor and outdoor. Trip to Ikea would do wonders. -Some Excusions in the area dont "recognize" Residences El Faro
