2BR Condo in Playa del Carmen

Tyler

Great place. Super central near main Playa strip. Easy access to arrive from bus station and easy to walk to ferry. Amazing views. Clean. Kitchen well stocked. 5 stars

The host, Barbs's, was very responsive and easy to work with. The air conditioning in the master bedroom did not work well, despite them insisting it worked. It was miserable to sleep in this master, so we ended up in the living room for a couple of nights. That is the biggest complaint and what I would not tolerate again. The condo is nice, pool great, and staff was very attentive. A LOT of seaweed and bulldozers around trying to clean it up all of the time, so noisy and smelly was the result of that. Overall, as long as the air in the master gets fixed this is a really great place to stay. I'm sure the seaweed is only problematic at times.

I continue to go back to this unit for many reasons. The staff at Cindi unit are very responsive and accommodating. The pool area is great with a constant ocean breeze all day with direct access to beach. Next door are multiple restaurants and beach clubs. The Condo is 1 block away from main strip of restaurants and bars. They even set you up with a driver if you choose who can take you on excursions. Easy, easy, easy, and quality accommodations and view!

We loved Barb’s place! The location was perfect! It was right on the best part of the beach, with great free beach chairs (we tipped) so many restaurants and everything nearby! It is in the heart of it all (so many cool places to walk to), yet safe and quiet in our condo! The condo was so nice! Beautifully decorated and everything provided. The filtered water was really nice! We loved the patio! Edith, the concierge was very friendly as well! Thank you Barb! We will be back!

Barbs's place is awesome. The location is perfect! The balcony/view is the best: center of the building with a clear view of the pool area and the beach. The condo is so clean and well appointed - we truly appreciated the kitchen being stocked with everything one would need to cook, including spices - a few places we've stayed at didn't even have salt/pepper! The bottled water included was the best. No worries about stocking up on water! Plenty of bath towels and beach towels. Barbs was incredibly nice, responsive and helpful. We would love to stay again!

This is the second time I have stayed at this location and I plan to repeat yearly. The condo itself is amazing and has plenty of room. There is always locked gate with guard but safety never seemed to be a concern. The location is the biggest win. You are actually on beach and you need only to walk a block to hit all restaurants and bars. Even Walmart just 10 min walk to get any supplies.

Couldn’t ask for a better location. Steps from beach and block from 5th Ave area. Large condo in great condition. The patio view is to die for. Will definitely book here again!

We had an awesome week in Barbara's apartment in Playa del Carmen. The apartment is perfect, with everything we needed for an excellent stay overlooking the sea in the best location in Playa. The beach in front of the condominium is also great and the chair/umbrella service is a priceless plus. We hope to return there soon and would certainly recommend it to families who want to enjoy their vacation in Playa without worrying about anything.

Beautiful condo at the heart of playa, sparky clean with gorgeous views. It has everything your heart desires: comfortable beds, huge double sink bathrooms and large walk in closets. Washer and drier looked new, but we didn't use them. We felt very safe at the property and the doorman helped me with parking my car. Host and property manager were very responsive and attentive. There are two excellent beach restaurants next door, and wonderful massage place. This place is gem. We will certainly stay here again, next time we are in the area.

Barbs place was great! Perfect spot close to the beach. Always felt and safe and at home

This is by far one of the best air bnbs I have booked. The location at Luna Encatada doesn’t get any better. Right on the water, and right in the center of all that PDC has to offer. Yet very peaceful and quiet once you are in the apartment- you wouldn’t even know that busy 5th Ave is one block behind you. The amenities are 5 star - the pool was a perfect temperature and plenty of lounge chairs to relax in. They also have beach loungers just for the residents of the apartment complex right infront and there is a beach bar right next door ( they give you 15% off if you are staying in Luna Encatada) The beds were so comfortable and falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing at night was so peaceful. All around amazing stay! Barb was a very helpful and responsive host. Do not hesitate to book this incredible air bnb! Thank you Barb, we will be back some day :-)

Barb, the owner, and the staff at Luna Encantada were phenomenal. The property was even better than shown in the photos. As people walked down the beach they often stopped to take a look and even take pics- probably to earmark for their next stay! The beach right in front of the property happens to have the most magnificent outcropping of stone that’s perfect for almost anything- meditating, photo sessions, or doing nothing at all. Everything, even Walmart, is within walking distance. Bars, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, Starbucks, street vendors, specialty and novelty shops… make sure you stay long enough to enjoy it all. The staff were always available and accessible but never intrusive. They kind of became my friends ;) Go. You won’t regret choosing to stay here. We even extended our stay a few days. That’s how good it is.

Perfect accommodation. Great location, wonderful view, complete house. Just perfect.

The condo was perfect. My husband and I walked the beach many times and discussed how the location of the condo is the absolute best. The beach in front of the condo is clean, spacious and doesn’t have a bad odor like some areas do. The condo is close enough to the main streets that you can conveniently drop by the condo whenever you need but far enough that you don’t hear any of the Main Street noise. The condo was clean and we really appreciated the additional cleanings included during our stay. The beds were comfortable and we felt very safe the entire time. We would absolutely stay here again.
