Terrible Experience
First, they gave me the wrong address. I was walking around the complex in the blazing heat for 2 hours looking for it. Even the security guards could not find the address. Then they refused to admit that it was the wrong address even when I found the place. Next, I told them I was there to work and they neglected to say there was virtually no cell service. I could not call out or receive calls. They said they had never had any complaints but the neighbour said it was a consistent problem. I pleaded with them to give me a refund before I moved in. I offered to take a dramatic reduction from my refund and they still would not. I had to rent another place with strong cell service and wifi and I paid for both. They talk about a dunking pool and it is really a hole in the front of the porch. They also say it has a view and it does not. Stay away from this place.

What I wish I’d known
1st visit to Playa Del Carmen, the neighborhood location cannot be beat & the house is close to the tennis court, beach & the mall; just as other reviews have said.Each bedroom has its own bathroom, the queen bedroom on the 1st floor, then a king on the 2nd & 3rd floors. The a/c units worked well & kept the house very cool even though the one in the living area was not working (would not turn on). The property does have some differed maintenance - a few ceiling fans would not turn on, lights not working, above mentioned a/c unit, very limited hot water so most showers were cold, bathroom faucet hot water wouldn’t turn on… We were a family of 5 staying 8 days and were only provided one 5 gallon filtered water as the one installed when we arrived was almost completely empty. When we reached out to the property they provided us the concierge # who informed us we would not be provided more water so we had to find more in town which was difficult as we did not have a car and large super markets are about 2km away (a long distance with heavy water). The property listing explains the kitchen will not have any spices and oils and that was accurate for our stay, there was salt but nothing additional & the kitchen is under stocked- no cutting boards, oven mitts, hot plates, 1 dish towel & 1 roll of paper towels.There is laundry but you need to buy detergent. Our last day I noticed a wall plaque with a number to request cleaning but it was half covered so be sure to ask.

Big Beautiful House, Needs a Bit of Repair
It's a big grand beautifully decorated house. The location is perfect, nice easy walk into Playa del Carmen. Rooms are oversized, the furnishings are nice and cleanliness of the home was a solid 10.But the overall maintenance is slipping. The air conditioner on the main level which services the living room, dining and kitchen area, was out during the whole trip. They sent someone to fix it, but we never got it running. The kitchen sink faucet works, but it's drooped over and a bit difficult to use. Two of the four ceiling fans in the 2nd floor master bedroom/bathroom area are out, which includes the one over the bed. There is a washer and dryer available in the unit, but the heating element in the dryer is out. The 2nd floor deck had no furniture and 3rd floor had minimal, not like the online pics. The shower head in the 3rd floor Master is held together by tape and sprays out the sides. All things considered, we had a great time on our vacation in Playa del Carmen!

The house was beautiful - perfectly located with a very short walk to the beach and only a little further on to all the fun of fifth avenue 😎

Lovely family vacation in Playa del Carmen
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay. The house was as described and plenty big enough for the 5 of us. The bedrooms are large each with it's own bath. The location was wonderful. It was a short walk to 5th Avenue, the beach, and the pier where the boat goes daily to Cozumel. The air conditioning was great with controls in each area. The kitchen was fine, although I would recommend having a little more silverware and dishes. I loved the hot and cold water cooler located in the kitchen. The plunge pool was great and cleaned each week. We did not have a car and found that everything we needed was either a short walk or taxi ride away including many tourist attractions. There were a large variety of restaurants to choose from. The only suggestion I would make would be to have a binder with helpful hints available to the renter. The TV reception was not great, but we played games at night or read to entertain ourselves and were out having fun during the day,

Paradise in Playa
The house was exactly as advertised and more. Beautifully decorated and excellent amenities. The plunge pool was perfect after a day of being out in the heat. The host was easy to communicate with and the gated community made us feel safe. The Main Street of Playa del Carmen is a short walk and the location of the house is central to all the most popular sightseeing destinations.
