It was such a beautiful holiday even though there were mountains of seaweeds on the beach but still we loved the apartment, the hotel, the swimming pool, the location and the last couple of days where we were able to swim inside the sea.We always do all inclusive and we found this option extremely good too, where we have the option to go to playa del carmen and enjoy its restaurants and its beach. The only negative things about the apartment: the bad mattresses in the room that has two beds, the loud sound of the AC engine which affected our sleep badly first night and the bad knives and peelers. So it was challenging peeling the skin of carrots and fruits for our baby. Apart from that, the fact that we were very close to everything so you can call the kids from the balcony and get back upstairs quite quickly if you forget anything, was just easy and very comfortable. The communication was very efficient with the landloard. All the services were perfect, the towels inside the apartment were sufficient. The snack bar inside the hotel is very good. We were surrounded by small supermarkets to get the majority of the main things that we needed, like milk, cheese, eggs, etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. We were a family of 5, with 2 teenagers and my son and his girlfriend. This resort is nice because it's full service, but very low key. I was told by another guest that it is an older resort, so we built before the zoning changed, so it is close to the beach, which we really liked. The location could not have been better. We did rent car for the occasion trip to Walmart or to a Cenote, but it was certainly not required.Max was very helpful and gave excellent restaurant recommendations. I would suggest reserving in advance.Many were on the Calle 38 stretch which is is a beautiful area with a lively atmosphere, but with none of the chaotic energy of 5th Avenida.We did eat at Ilios our first evening. It had great reviews, excellent service and good food. However, there was a huge disconnect because they had music playing so loudly that we could not converse at all. Apparently this is like this between 8-10 pm. They have many restaurants run by the same company, so I would avoid these overpriced touristb traps! Stick with the recommendations from Max!We loved the beach and you could access the whole stretch. There were many activities available- from jet skiing to parasailing. We passed by many resorts that were crowded and were happy that we were at Sunset Fisherman.I loved the fact that we were only an hour from the airport as well. All in all, we had a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful stay at playa del carmen/fisherman's Village

The beach front property was perfect for our group with age ranges from 23 to 80 yrs old. The beach was lovely, and pool was very nice. There were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas by the beach and pool. The condo was clean, roomy, and had a comfortable layout. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and small appliances. The friendly staff were helpful and attentive. The host provided detailed information that made our stay exceptional!

Right on the beach!

We loved staying at this property! We don’t like big crowds and prefer to eat locally vs at an all inclusive, so this was the perfect place for us. The beach was amazing. We were right on the water. The lifeguard was nice for younger kids. The pool bar was great for smoothies every day. The condo was spacious and nicely updated. The pool was warm and not busy at all. All the shops and a grocery store are within walking distance. Our favorite restaurant was el Fagon. Beautiful property with a great view of the ocean!

Great Resort for Anyone.

This property is in a guarded community and right on the beach with great food. The employees are really nice too. We had a wonderful visit. This was our 4th time to visit this resort. The room had a lot of cooking supplies & small appliances and we cooked many meals this time. If you’re looking for a place to relax with friends or family this definitely is the place.

Nice condo. Perfect for family, friends or an extended stay. Great communication from the property owner which made the check-in process easy. Owner offered great suggestions about restaurants and activities in the area. If you don’t feel like cooking, you can purchase an all-inclusive package from the resort.

Great Family Vacation!

We stayed for Spring Break and had the best time. The resort had so many fun activities to do as a family, kayaking, beach volleyball and water aerobics (yes water aerobics) Shout out to Alejandro!! The location was perfect, nestled off the main rd right on the beach. We were able to walk to Starbucks and the shops every day with ease. This was close enough to fifth ave without being right in the hustle of it. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed for our 7 guests (4 adults and 3 kids). We will 100% be back again!!

Family Vacay

Great location with infinity pools next to the beach. Swimup bar and restaurants are poolside. The condo itself was nice size and fully equipped - with a couple of things that could be updated, but we loved it and would return. We had a couple of issues with our unit but they were handled promptly. The condo complex/resort is perfectly located and laid out. Every staff member we encountered was a pleasure to deal with. The resort itself could also use some upgrades (lots of missing tiles in the pool and some cosmetic touches) but as mentioned we would definately return.

Another great stay at Fisherman’s Village

We had a group of 6, which was well accommodated by the unit. Kitchen was well- equipped. One patio fit 6 people comfortably and had great view of the ocean and pool. It was nice to have 3 full bathrooms and always had hot water for showers. AC worked well in the main portion of the condo and ceiling fans were nice to keep air moving. Easy walk to 5th Avenue with so many options for delicious food! Resort staff are very helpful. Host also provided thorough information about property, check in process and was easy to reach during our stay! My only suggestion would have been to have more hand towels available in the unit and better operating AC in the back unit- the AC worked, but wasn’t super cool and the fan ran constantly.

What makes this property unique

Being smack on the Caribbean... being on the beach in literally a minute.
