Great place in Playa!

Very large for a one bedroom in a great location just a few steps to the beach on a very nice street with several good restaurants. We received pages of good information from the owner which were very helpful. Rooftop spaces and large infinity pool overlooking the ocean were terrific. The condo is only 3 blocks from 5th Ave which is a walking only street with a few miles of shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this condo! Paul and Paulette from Minnesota

Great location!

The location on 38th is just perfect. Walk as near or as far as you want to countless restaurants / didn’t encounter one we didn’t enjoy. The beach is just steps away for an ocean swim. Longer stretches of beach to walk are reachable by walking No on 5th. The rooftop infinity pool was great. If you seek any kind of activity or side trip it’s at your fingertips. The host was very responsive to the few things we asked about or needed. We hope to return.

One week at Pueblito Escondido!

The location is ideal in that you are just steps to the beach or a short walk to 5th Ave. Loved the rooftop pool overlooking the ocean! The condo could use a little updating. When we arrived, there were cushion covers missing on the furniture (we were told they were at the cleaners) but they somehow never made it back to the room during our stay. There weren't supplies such as dishsoap, kitchen towels or even paper towels so doing anything in the kitchen was difficult. We only had one visit by housekeeping during the week (which we didn't know wasn't included) and had towel service twice. The a/c unit is by the bedroom and is very loud. There was also a strong musty smell which I've been told is not uncommon so close to the water. In all fairness to the owners, Perry & Dave, these issues were out of their control and were supposed to be taken care of during our stay. We enjoyed the chocolate shop on the corner of 38th St & 5th Ave., Kool, and El Cuevo Los Chango. We also had the nice young lady at the laundry place on the corner do our laundry for ridiculously cheap! This was our third trip to Mexico and both times previous we stayed at 4 & 5 star resorts. I would recommend Pueblito Escondido if the issues above were taken care of.

Thanks for your feedback. It's practice to air out the condo immediately prior to a guest's arrival and that was overlooked, sorry that won't happen again. And we are currently repainting the walls and reupholstering all furniture. Come back and see how fresh and updated the place is!

Playa experience.

Location, location, location. We've never been to the area before but location is key, walking distance to anywhere (restaurants/grocery/liquor/shops). This isn't a beach view condo but it's a view of the main entrance of beach so people watching is it which is somewhat entertaining. The property itself did not have any kitchen towels, it had dish soap and a sponge but no towel so we ended up using a bath towel. No salt & pepper but the kitchen was well equipped. No face cloths in the bathroom which was odd and only one hand towel, but plenty of bath towels. Beach towels were also provided. There were a couple chairs and umbrella in the closet for the beach but we never used them. Just note there are no beach lounge chairs and/or umbrellas on the beach for use and it's a public beach. We spend all our time on the roof top infinity pool which was more than fabulous. The swim up bar in the pictures wasn't staffed so it's not a true swim-up bar but there are stools in the water to sit on. All in all an amazing property, again location is key! Communication with the property manager was excellent, always prompt responses and lots of helpful info was provided in advance with respect to suggested restaurants and helpful tips. We had a wonderful time and would go back!

Big Space

This is a tough one for me. I like to be completely honest to help others that stay here but I don't want to hurt the owners. Well let's start with the positives..the space is nice and big which is great. It is literally a few steps away from the sand. The rooftop is amazing and spacious although it was closed 3 of the days we stayed for maitenance. There was hardly anyone there so no one was really on the rooftop or the other pool. The owners were also very easy to work with. Now the cons...the biggest thing was probably the noise. There was a lot of noise starting around 5am every day coming from all directions. That was tough. The bedroom is very dark. Hardly any light comes in. We had to shut the storm shutters because the curtains didn't fit and people walking by could see. There was hardly any water pressure in the shower and the tempature was up and down. Some bulbs were out in the condo also. They did forget to replace our towels so we had to ask. I know some of these things are not the owners fault. The internet was not good at all. Hardly had service so we went down to starbucks to get it. Overall this place is nice. The great thing about this condo is the proximity to the beach and you are close to the end of 5th avenue which is nice because it's quiet! But just a short walk to everything! Excellent location!

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our great location and spacious condo. Sorry about the noise you encountered during your stay. There was some building maintenance going on during your stay and remodeling of the restaurant downstairs. I am happy to report the new restaurant is open and all is quiet again. One of the benefits of our location is that it is quiet, no noisy bars or discos! We are currently in the process of many upgrades in the condo unit, painting throughout, new bedroom curtains, etc. The building internet provider was recently changed and equipment and boosters are being relocated for optimum performance. Internet is back up in the unit. Additionally a change in our management has taken place so towels and the like are back on schedule. Hope you'll become one of our regular, repeat guests!

Great location, nice unit!

I had a great experience. I was not expecting an ocean front view, so that wasn’t disappointing at all. The AC worked well. The bed was comfortable, the unit was spacious. I was able to cook, nice kitchen. The rooftop pool is adults only and amazing. My only two reasons for giving 4 stars, not 5 (both are pretty minor and weren’t a big deal). But 1: the shower head pressure wasn’t great. It almost seems like it needs a new shower head. I have thick hair, so I had to bring a glass pitcher of water to rinse my hair bc the shower couldn’t do it. And 2. The unit listed a washer/dryer. There wasn’t one. Again, not a huge deal, but I would’ve packed more clothes and wouldn’t have taken the trouble of packing laundry stuff. So the owners may want to update that. Again two really minor inconveniences - they didn’t really affect the great time I had. Perry, the owner, was very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend for people who don’t need an ocean view, but enjoy gorgeous (private and pretty empty pools), a convenient location and steps to the beach. It’s not 5 star luxury. But it’s a great condo and I had a wonderful experience.

A spring break in Paradise

We are the family of three (two adults and a 10 year old) stayed in this property over the spring break. We loved the location and the property itself. It is conveniently located right on the shore and 5 minutes’ walk to the 5th avenue - cultural and entertaining artery of Playa Del Carmen. You will find there the best restaurants, museums, and free street shows. The property has few pools for guests to use and we used them in times when the beach area was overcrowded. We would recommend the place and would consider staying in it in the future.

Perfect location!

The condo is very clean and in a perfect location. Close to beach and many dining choices. Still felt nicely secluded. Rooftop infinity pool lovely. A little dated. They were working on painting while we were there though. The safe did not work but other than that we really enjoyed it.

I'd Stay Again

The property is beautiful and is close to the beach and restaurants along a tree covered street. Perry and the Pueblito Escondido staff were very friendly and helpful. We rented a car and paid a small fee to park it in the secure garage, which was well worth it. And the infinity pool was amazing!

Location, Location, Location

Absolutely the best location. Not knowing anything about PDC before we got there, we really lucked out. As close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach and located on 38th which has the best restaurants we found in town with reasonable prices. A very short walk to 5th and all that it offers with more restaurants, shopping etc. If you are looking for lots of club action, then you will need a cab, but the good part of that is that you aren't being bombarded with loud music when you don't want it. Boogie boards, beach umbrellas and chairs are in the unit and with the convenience store next door, its a perfect spot. We will be back.

Fantastic condo

The condo is exactly as described and better! The unit was very clean, spacious and centrally located to everything. You are about 100 steps from the ocean and there is a OXXO convenience store next door. There was a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, purified water in the unit. The roof top pool was amazing and the lounge area was spectacular. The check-in and check out was super easy, no issues. Staff very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this to anyone who prefers something more special and unique that a hotel can't offer.

Lovely condo in the very customer service oriented staff at Perdido Escondido.

We were lead to believe we would have a nice beach view & the beach access (not the beach)was not 14 feet away but about 100 feet away . The beach view was tiny - if at any. The entire beach Playa del Carmen to Tulum is covered with a 10- 12 strip of deep smelly seaweed on the beach. We enjoyed the roof top pool which had a better ocean view.There was lots of great things to do other than go to the beach. So, we had a great time but no beach or ocean play.

Nice condo, everything you need, clean with wonderful outdoor amenties

The condo property saved the vacation. The Carribean waters are barely swimable due to washing in seaweed. I was disappointed I came a long way to swim in turquoise water and couldn't. The smell was nauseating.The locals say it started in 2018 and has continued. Cause unclear. May be affecting entire Carribean sea. Pueblito Escondito has beautiful pools where we spent most of our time. Excursions are also interesting and plentiful.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 March 2020
Glad you enjoyed our spacious grounds, pool and rooftop. The seaweed is a new problem that seems to be plaguing the entire Caribbean. Many of the Caribbean islands are really struggling with this new challenge. Unlike other areas Playa del Carmen isn't waiting for this to just go away, the municipality has invested in tractors with special seaweed sweeping equipment and dump trucks to haul the seaweed far away from the beach. We are lucky our section of beach gets prompt attention from the city. We were at the condo for two weeks early January and the first couple of days the seaweed was rolling in, and the municipal workers were off on the New Year holiday and it was stacking up. But after the holiday they had the beach completely free of seaweed. The last 10 days of the two weeks there was no seaweed at all. Keeping up with the seaweed is important but it should also be noted that the seaweed doesn't was ashore all of the time. I think a lot of it has to do with the tides. Believe it or not this seaweed is coming from an area off the coast of Africa. We've been coming to this are of Mexico for 25+ years and the seaweed is a new occurrence. The currents have changed bringing this to our area and everybody is waiting for this to pass! For the time being, when planning a vacation everybody needs to make sure they are going to an area where the beach is cleaned with heavy equipment.

Fantastic location, roomy, clean condo

This condo is a roomy onebedroom. Condo was clean, good AC. Comfy king bed. Pull out couch with mattress you could use on the floor if you need more back support. Also a littler kid can sleep on the other sofa. It was pretty quiet—we didn’t have any issues with loud music, and there is no ground floor business below the condo. There is on Oxxo convenience store in the building. The front desk people are kind and helpful. The ground floor pool is fun, but use a little repair of fences and railings in the pool area (not the owner’s fault). This location is fantastic—steps to the beach with a beautiful view of the sea from the roof deck. 38th st. Is lovely—old trees with nice restaurants interspersed. (Try Trujillo’s) 5th is about two blocks away—there’s a taxi stand there, French bakery, farmacia—really, anything you might need. This is the calmer end of 5th, not the Mardi Gras atmosphere further south. This is a great home base from from which to explore all of the amazing things this region has to offer.

I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at our condo! We agree with you regarding our location, the best in Playa! We have many repeat guests who stay at our place often, we would love to add you to that list of repeat guests. Regarding the fencing around the ground level pool, Building Management was in the process of replacing the wood with concrete so some of the wood had been removed during your stay. Thanks again for choosing our place!
