A great place to stay in Playa del Carmen

My family and I had a terrific stay at El Faro. Lovely pool, right on the beach, clean and cosy accommodations. The beds were comfortable. Everything was close by. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots to do in the area.

Amazing, ground level unit

Loved our stay here! Would come again. Pros: - ground level unit with unobstructed view to pool and ocean, you just step out to the pool/ocean! We spent soooo much time on the patio, talking and reading. - the listing doesn't say it, but there is an IN UNIT WASHER AND DRYER! So great - wonderful condo staff, front desk assistance - SO close to 5th Ave, a Circle K for convenience items, pharmacy, etc. Shopping, eating, is a breeze! - well appointed kitchen, d/w, comfortable beds, nice showers, able to log into Netflix, amazon, etc on TV. - great a/c, able to change temp in each bedroom Cons: - wifi is iffy - worked about 50% of the time, sometimes we lost netflix or had to walk to the lobby to connect. - the large deck from the waterfall pool edge to the ocean had sunken into the sand (erosion?), so while we were there, it was all roped off, which was a bummer. Hopefully fixed soon?, but maybe something to ask about. - grill works, but could use a lighter and a scraper - If you have more than 4 people, the listing says "sleeps 6," and they are counting a small futon style item in the front entrance hallway. There was no bedding we could find. And it's v. small, children only. Other: -Lido is the BEST restaurant, right next door. Don't eat at Tropical, we got sick from the ice there. -The host can help with an airport shuttle! (we had already booked one before we knew) -We had difficult grocery delivery from loQsea (never came) & Walmart (v. v. late). Beware.

We booked this trip on a Thursday at 4pm and arrived Friday at 5pm. Outstanding as always

We stayed here in February and had to return to enjoy more vacation life. It's out 6th time at El Faro. The staff is professional kind and courteous. Corrina at the front desk is a gem! Returning again soon.

Perfect location!

Condo was well maintained, and it's close to everything in Playa: 5th Ave restaurants and shops, Walmart 7 mins walking, Oxxo/7-eleven 1 block away, etc. Having the pool just in front of the terrace was a plus. There's security on the beach side, so this gives a lot of privacy to the people staying at the condos. As a suggestion, would be good to have handy in the condo some brochures on places that deliver food.

Great Location

This 2 bedroom condo unit is in a perfect spot to enjoy Playa del Carmen. Only one block away from all of the shops and restaurants on 5th avenue. You can walk a little farther past 5th and be at WalMart in 10 minutes for all of you long term needs like food and beverages for the condo. There are many small and local establishments on many of these back roads that are easy to walk to. The beach is right up to the pool with lots of lounges to lay back and enjoy. The condo is well fitted for comfortable living. The patio is right off the pool yet is very secure with very little distraction from others. The staff at El Faro Residences are very eager to assist you with any needs around the facility. The BBQ on the patio made for one of our most relaxing evenings. Taxis are right out front and can take you to all of the attractions. Or jump on the ferry just blocks down the beach and spend the day in Cozumel. We have been to Mexico many times, this condo and its location has been one of our best finds so far.

About the host

Hosted by Lorelei

We are owners of a manufacturers representative company for HVAC products in Saskatchewan Canada. We enjoy holidaying and spending time with family and friends especially in Playa which seems like a second home to us and our three children.

Why they chose this property

After our first visit to the Mayan Riviera in 2000 we fell in love with the area and kept returning we then decided to purchase our first property at Paseo del Sol in 2004. We enjoy the many great aspects of Playa from the diverse cultures, ease of walking to all restaurants and shops. We find we can enjoy something different every visit and still go back to do our favourite things. The ease of getting to the Mayan Riviera is just another bonus for us and our friends.

What makes this property unique

El Faro is one of a kind in Playa as it is 1/2 a block from the entertainment district and one block from the famous 5th ave the unique parts of this as you step inside the complex you feel like you stepped into seclusion as the sounds of the action around the complex just seem to disappear. With the onsite 24 hour security your whole family feels completely comfortable day and night. The huge infinity pool with integrated kids pool and the multiple lounging areas around the pool offers a uncrowded feel.
