Paradise in the heart of the action

My boys (23 & 20) and I stayed at this Pueblito Escondido and court t have been more happy. It is an excellent location steps from excellent dining and the Caribbean Sea. The private roof top plunge pool and community infinity pool make this destination stand out. The unit itself is very clean and comfortable, but I don't think anyone staying here will be spending much time inside. The area is vibrant and alive, but quiets down by 11pm. With the famous 5th ave a 5 minute walk up the gentle tree covered street full of restaurants, there is a party within walking distance. I would highly recommend this for your holiday destination.

Excellent location

The location was perfect and we loved the private pool. Much quieter than other hotels we have stayed at in the area. Great restaurants on a beautiful street. Perfect for beach access and very helpful concierge in the building who truly added to our experience.

The best location in Playa

My wife booked this stay for us last winter. We wanted ten weeks in a penthouse apartment in Pueblito Escondido. We had to settle for 5-week stays in two different apartments. This apartment was gorgeous. I had no issues with it whatsoever. The infinity pool on the roof was amazing. The property manager, Bruno, was very helpful. Calle 38 is the most beautiful street in Playa. I would be very happy to spend all of my winters here.

Perfect Penthouse Stay in a Beautiful Location

My family of 6 loved our stay at the penthouse. The rooms were set up very nice and left us relaxed. The roof top pool was great for our children to take a dip in whenever they wanted or us to lay by and enjoy the sun. The location of the penthouse is perfect and so close to all the best shopping. So many great reteraunts within walking distance. It was kept very clean . WE loved every minute of our stay and look forward to returning!

4 Days at Playa De Carmen

The Condo was very nice. I stayed with two friends following our time further south at a music festival. Accommodations were just what we needed to relax and re-energize. We were close to the beach and nice restaurants. We had an opportunity to do some shopping, cook some meals in our room and use the pools and relax in the sun or stagaze. The manager was very helpful and quick to respond with our questions.

The place itself is very spacious and clean, complete with everything you will need. AC works perfect. Beds very comfy. Having your own private pool on the roofdeck along with access to adult only infinity pool overlooking the ocean is just incredible. Very safe. Great location, public beach right by the building. Close walk to the vibrant nightlife of the main streets. Grocery 7 min walk away. Will stay here longer next time.

Fantastic location & space for family

We really enjoyed our stay over the holidays at this unit. Location cannot be beat - steps from the beach, tons of restaurants nearby, and on beautiful tree-lined 38th Street. 5th Ave was fun to walk at night but we were super grateful to be slightly removed from the noise and crowd, especially on New Year’s Eve! The unit itself was pretty nice, especially the private rooftop pool. We used that a LOT. There are a few things that could be spruced up, particularly on the rooftop - examples: fix the broken railing surrounding the pool, provide a fresh paint job on the rusty area under the pergola, replace old/broken lounge chairs, etc. These are minor issues that did not affect our enjoyment of the place - we would definitely stay again and have already recommended it to friends. The inside was nice & comfortable - we loved the huge living room TV for NFL and bowl games. WiFi not great but we’re not in Mexico to be on our phones so not a big deal. Couple of tips - our daughter’s bedroom got really loud at times (secondary bedroom is also the entry point to the unit and you could hear music and late night revelers.) Closing the external storm shutters actually helped a lot, along with placing a towel up against the bottom of the entrance door. We also enjoyed Bric Spa next door - 60 minute massages for 55. Oxxo next door was super convenient too for water, beer, soda, etc. Full grocery store is a 5-7 minute walk. Prices were very affordable everywhere we went on/around 38th.

Perfect location. Beautiful Condo

Wow. This place is awesome. The location is literally just a quick walk away from a public beach that was peaceful, clean, and not that crowded. The roof top deck with small pool ended up being a great hang out spot for our family. In the evening we would open the large sliding doors. This allowed a cool breeze to flow through in addition to live music from a local restaurant. We had a party of six so we had to use an aero bed as additional sleeping space. Even the blow up bed was comfortable and fit into a spot under the stairs that we probably wouldn’t have used anyways. The owner went out of her way and was super helpful. We were so happy with our visit and will recommend this place to all of our friends.

Great spot

My partner and I had a great experience at this property. Colleen was very helpful/responsive, as was Bruno. This is a great location and the pool on the roof was awesome. The one small issue we had was the WiFi connection, as the speed isn’t great (we were trying to work remote for a couple days). But apparently you can upgrade the speed for an added cost at the front desk. But excellent experience overall!

Amazing views and location!

The condo was the perfect place for a spring break trip: the beach is literally down the road, and the rooftop pool and patio area was a perfect place to hang out! The condo itself was super clean and spacious, and the property manager provided great customer service and help when we needed to get a taxi. Also, the condo is located within walking distance to tons of great restaurants and shops. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an easy, beautiful vacation to Mexico!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen M.

Hi, thanks for taking a look at my favorite get away. I am a Nurse Practitioner and mommy of two in Dallas, TX. I am a sunset watching, life loving, michelada enthusiast, and destination bride.

Why they chose this property

Not a day goes by where I wasn't wishing I was exploring Mayan ruins, sprawling out oceanside, or swimming in a cenote. We purchased the condo in 2006 and have been the only owners. Since then I have fallen in love with Playa del Carmen. I was proposed to at the top of a 137 ft pyramid here (Nohoch Mul) , married oceanside here at a beautiful marina, and now I love to come visit with my family and friends. Every time I come here I discover more and more things I love and find it harder and harder to leave.

What makes this property unique

Few things can compare to the views on the rooftop when the sun is going down.
