Relaxing and Beautiful Property

Both the place and the property were beautiful and so well maintained. The pool is huge, the beach is one of the best I have seen in Playa del Carmen. Everyone was kind and helpful. It is very quiet and relaxing - perfect for families with young children. Getting a taxi from the front desk was very easy; but my one issue is that we were a five people, which doubled the cost of the taxi. This made it feel a little isolated. If there were bike rentals onsite, this would have been very nice. Otherwise we had a great time.

My family loved our stay at this beautiful property! It was extremely clean & so well appointed. So many extras like beach & pool toys, cooler, umbrella & books! The owners, Rich & Verna, were easy to communicate with when needed. They provided restaurant ideas & other information before our arrival. The property manager, Luis, met us upon check-in and showed us around. He was also easy to contact during our stay & always so friendly & helpful. This property exceeded our expectations! We absolutely loved it! We loved the complex of Mareazul, as well. Huge pool, beautiful beach, two great restaurants, all in a very safe, secure gated property. We would love to return again in the future!

Excellent Experience

We stayed at this property for over 3 weeks with our two adult daughters who joined us for a couple nights after a week stay at a resort during Xmas. This property was exactly as listed. A very spacious unit with all the amenities to make a long term stay enjoyable. Our hosts provided excellent information about the property and surrounding areas - they went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay!A short (2 minute walk) to the beautiful beach with bar service, free lounge chairs and Umbrellas. You can walk along the beach for miles and even directly into Playa del Carmen. You can also walk directly into Playa along a well developed street-way where you will find joggers and beach goers (takes about 30 minutes walking to get to the heart of 5th avenue). The beach bathrooms are always clean and fresh with paper hand-towels. We frequented many beaches in all areas of the Rivera Maya and this is one of the cleanest white-sand beaches with fairly calm waters. The property grounds are very well maintained. They have massive clean/warm pools for all to enjoy with a great restaurant located in the middle of the pool area. Fabulous stay!

The assortment looks exactly as in the pictures. It is located in a complex that has a series of pools, an excellent lunch/dinner restaurant, a breakfast place, a gym, and a beautiful beach with lounge chairs and sun umbrellas provided free of charge.

Spacious Condo

Condo is just as shown, very spacious, loved the decor. Beds were comfortable. The resort was pristine, the pools are large with enough loungers, beach was clean. The little beach club at the end of the beach was nice to have, to have a change of scenery. The one downside, it was very hard to communicate with the restaurant staff, their English is minimal, and we seemed to be looked over and waited a long time for food and drinks. Ordering taxis was a breeze to get into town. We all enjoyed our time spent, and would stay again.

Situated in a safe and gated community just north of Playa Del Carmen. Short walk to a private beach safe for swimming and great beach walks.

If you want a comfortable beach vacation, space for some quiet time, ans great access to restaurants and activities near Playa Del Carmen this is a great choice. Thanks!

Our family had an amazing time at this apartment in Playa del Carmen. Great service, fully equipped, the best location I can think of. Luis was great and kind as a host. The pool is something else … it’s like 300 yards long. Beautiful beach and great food. I can’t ask for more.

Great unit in a wonderful location

The property is in a great location, close enough to night life while secluded to avoid crowds. The check-in process was simple and the unit is just as nice if not nicer than the photos. The beach is walking distance, very clean and rarely crowed. Verna was especially helpful and provided a lot of recommendations of activities, restaurants and very responsive. I would highly recommend this property, perfect for families or working remotely

Perfect place for a family getaway (or two couples!

Loved this condo and the complex! Our family includes two older teen boys and we had ample room to spread out. The unit could easily hold family of six OR two couples. Onsite is one of the largest pools in all of Playa Del Carmen, nice walking areas, hammocks for resting, and a small playground for the littles. The beach area is substantial and clean. Two onsite restaurants provide diverse dining options. Grocery stores are within a quick taxi ride (taxis are available everywhere, they also have a very inexpensive bus system that we didn't take, but another resident told us about). Walk to the popluar Fifth Avenue for meals, shopping, booking excursions. Fun activities that we booked ahead of time: scuba (we had a very bad weather week, so our ocean dive was canceled, but we were able to do an amazing cenotes dive unique to the area), Chichen Itza tour, and Xplore (adventure park with ziplines, amphibious vehicles, massive water slide and more - I would recommend 8 years or older, we mostly saw teens and adults). Overall: great location, lots of privacy and room, wonderful communication with owners AND the property manager. Our week was one of the rainiest ever, and they were checking in to provide suggestions to help make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay

We stayed for 16 days. The property is lovely, as pictured. The pools are wonderful. Having access to a restaurant on the property is great also. We did experience a water heater leak while there and management at the property and the owner were very responsive and had it repaired within a couple of hours. If we find ourselves in Playa again, we will definitely stay here. If you do visit, I encourage you to have a car and drive around to experience the city and people, and look for "local" restaurants, which are considerably less experience and a more authentic experience. The people here are very friendly and considerate. It's worth the effort.

Exceeded our Expectations!

The property is described accurately. From the moment we arrived the team was there to assist us. The condominium was very clean, adequately supplied for all our needs. The entire property and beaches were above our expectations! And most importantly, the owner sent us a personal message during these trying times regarding our stay that was so kind. We did not expect it. I highly recommend this property and the owner. Exceptional! Thank you so much for a wonderful visit!

Another great holiday at Mareazul

Our second time at this condo ... it was absolutely fabulous. We have 4 kids (13,11,10,9).. The condo is spacious , bright , spotless & has everything you would need . The kids spent hours in the HUGE pool , the beach was just steps away & always kept beautifully ... Staff at the complex were friendly & efficient. It’s only a 10 min drive to the busy 5th ave or $10 taxi ride .. many thanks to Fernando ( property manager ) & Verna for taking such great care of us again .... We will definitely be coming back :)

New Years 2015

The property was clean , quiet and well managed. The layout of the condo suited our family of five well The property manager was welcoming and professional. I especially appreciated that he gave us his number and said we could call him at any time if we needed. There were not many choices of restaurants on the resort. We greatly appreciated the tip that it is cheaper to get a cab a few blocks from the gate. we had fun going to the Mega and cooking our meals in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time.

Fantastic!

We love Mareazul and this condo was great. The property manager (Luis) was personable and response. When the water dispenser broke the owners worked quickly to have a new one ordered next day. The only challenge was the washer/dryer combo. Washed clothes well, but no matter how long you let it dry for it just couldn’t. Had to hang dry everything which we eventually got the hang of. So 4.5/5 which we’ll round up to 5. Property was great, beach was nice when the sargassum wasn’t bad. We’d certainly go back.

What a beautiful property . The apartment was beautiful , so clean & had everything... the pool and beach area was just perfect for our group of 2 adults & 4 kids. ( 13 -9) They literally played all day and never bored of it .. we often popped down to the nearby beach club for either breakfast or a snack .. Kids loved their daiquiris .. It’s only 10 mins by car from playa .. we took a trip most nights into the town & always found parking without a struggle . Fernando was great , even though we had no issues he responded immediately to any of our questions . We will for sure be back . Thanks Verna ...

The Perfect Getaway

We just spent two wonderful weeks in this amazing condo. It's lovely, spacious, clean, well cared for, ideally located with a corner spot and full of light and great views. The staff are prompt, professional and accommodating and the owners are completely lovely. The location is ideal if you want to be in Playa del Carmen but away from the nightly ruckus and burgeoning crowds. Still, we walked and biked to and from town many times for fun, for groceries, for exercise. You can drive to Akumal in under an hour for snorkelling/diving/caving etc. Perfect for a couple craving space, quiet and ease or a family looking for a safe, comfortable fun place to stay. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, the pools are enormous and never crowded, the beach is perfect, kept clean and secure. We've been travelling to this part of Mexico for over 20 years now and have moved around looking for the perfect spot....we have just found it! Highly recommended! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful and relaxing

This was our first trip to Mexico. The condo was amazing. Well appointed, we wanted for nothing. Marco and Ellie greeted us graciously upon our arrival. We spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds. The pools were the perfect temperature and always kept clean. Be aware that this condo is a 10 minute cab ride ($50-150 pesos) or a 40-45 minute walk from Playa del Carmen restaurants and food. There is a small Beach Club on the property to get food but it has limited selection. Don't miss El Pirate or El Fogon restaurants - El Pirate has the best shrimp and whole fish. El Fogon is tacos etc. but great street ambience. We found a fabulous Venezuelan place a couple blocks off 5th Avenue. Kaxapa Factory the service and food amazing. The owner and manager were super helpful at every turn - before and during our stay. I could not have asked for more. Thank you Betty

First time renting condo

I can't say enough good things about this property. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals, drinks etc. The property is secured and safe. Infact, in front of our condo there was a bike standing in a parking stall for 6 days, not locked. The property itself is beautiful. Best beach around. No rocks or seaweed, just beautiful white sand. Pool is huge with lots of areas for children. 2 restaurants on the property with delicious food options. Its quiet with many areas with different seating options like lounge chairs, shady covered areas, hamacks etc. What made the best impressions on us here was the property manager Luis. We had to contact him on a couple of occasions for minor things like new batteries for remote and water bottle replacement. Everytime his response was within minutes and delivery set up quickly. I can't praise him enough. He even went out of his way to help me with an item i forgot in the unit after checkout. Best experience ever. Thank you.

Doesn't get much better!

We felt right at home in this very well equipped, comfortable condo. It is beautifully decorated and has a great location on the property as it provides a wonderful view of the gorgeous grounds off the huge deck. This is a very well maintained, quiet and secure complex. The beach is one of the best we have seen in the PDC area, great for swimming and walking. The free beach chairs and umbrellas are a huge bonus. The pool is simply stunning. There are 2 very good restaurants on site . Highly recommend the tempura shrimp and fish tacos! We were here for a month and did a lot of our own cooking and found all appliances in great working order and the kitchen well appointed. We had guests stay with us for 1 week and they were very comfortable in the large 2nd bedroom with private bath. It was also great to have a washing machine. The hosts, Verna and Rich were very easy to communicate with and provided a lot of helpful information. The location is a cab ride to PDC, away from the noise. This will be the first choice of accommodation for us on any future visit to this area and we very highly recommend it.

WARNING! First impression: looks okay. But it is: old, cheap and very run down! DO NOT BOOK HERE

We had rented the apartment for 2 months and can only warn everybody! These 2 months were the most unpleasant time we ever spent while travelling the world. Unfortunately this web-site does not low us to share our real experience with this apartment. Lounge very old/worn-out/sunken cushions/causing major back issues, had to see doctors Shower shows traces of mildew Towels often worn out and not clean Bed linen 100% synthetic (recommended be washed cold, blood stains), cheap material, pillow cases often damaged Glasses very old and ‘blind’, damaged Plates 4 large porcelain plates, rest plastic Luxury accommodation? NO! TV via Wi-Fi, too slow to allow watching program! Had asked Verna if there were Sports channel and CNN, NEVER received any reply, these channels were NOT there. Master Bedroom TV not functional at all All 3 beds extremely uncomfortable, mattress have thick plastic covers. 1. cleaning day - lady didn't replace towels & bedclothes. Had to insisted. Then I saw, plastic mattress cover had very big old blood stains. So disgusting! Cleaning lady wanted to put the new linen on. Again, I had to insist ..... and so on! Another day cleaning lady was wearing totally filthy, badly damaged uniform. Just disgusting! Property Manager of owner: First nice, promised at lot but never took any actions. Often did NOT replay to messages. Most shocking was that he went into the apartment while we were away, which he knew. He NEVER had permission to go into the apartment on his own. This was an unlawful entry, he violated our privacy. We know it was him, friends saw him. Electricity Bill: Had to pay bill on top. Checking internet before we agreed showed in high price areas of Playa Del Carmen to be prepared. Manager asked us to pay an exorbitant amount. We were totally shocked! Had not once used AC, had no TV to watch, were sitting in the dark most evenings on the balcony. He had not taken the meter reading when we arrived. He didn't show us any invoices, became extremely rude, was not prepared to talk to us at all, threatened to call police and inform emigration office. He told us the owner had given him the strict order to claim the money, that it was his job to get the money. It’s not the money. It’s how we were treated, that we were not informed about the shocking amount that we had to expect to pay. And everybody told us this was by far too much.

About the host

Hosted by Verna Stilwell

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Pennsylvania, USA and have two lovely grown up daughters. Rich and I are retired, he as an Engineer and me from working in rental properties management. I grew up in Guadalajara Mexico and still have family in that area so I consider myself to be a part time Mexican :) My sister who was born in Mexico, co-owns the condo with us. She also owns a business in Mexico; Dancefield, a dancewear manufacturer and retailer.

Why they chose this property

Our family started vacationing in the Riviera Maya around 1999. Once we spent a week in the area, we were spoiled and no other beach would do. We tried everything from the hustle and bustle of Cancun to the most deserted areas near Tulum. We loved spending evenings walking around Playa del Carmen but did not like the idea of staying in town with the noise and the crowds. We searched virtually every mile of the Riviera Maya looking for the perfect combination of a sandy beach, a high end location, not too many crowds, cleanliness, safety, a beautiful pool, no loud blaring music with entertainers trying to get us to the the limbo and a short drive to the best dining opportunities. When we saw the property under construction we decided that this was the perfect spot for us.
Having grown up in Guadalajara where you can find the finest Mexican artisans and designers, we decided to become heavily involved in the decorating and selection of furnishings for the apartment. My sister and I spent months viewing photos of custom and hand made furniture and then spent a couple of weeks walking around the towns of Tlaquepaque and Tonala visiting the various factories and design shops for our final selections. Our goal was to have a clean and contemporary look combined with both typical and modern Mexican touches. We hope to have achieved that.

What makes this property unique

Our renters matter to us. We recently spoke with condo owners who told us all about the “cheap stuff” they put out for renters and the “good stuff” they use for themselves. We want to put out the “good stuff” for our renters trusting that they will feel at home and care for our place as if it was their own and have found this to be the case. We change linen supplies about every 6 months and are constantly updating. Our home is your home. Mi casa es su casa.
