3BR Family Playacar | Beach Walk | Pool + Gym - Condominiums for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

I’ve got to say this is the place to be to feel safe and close to 5th avenue. The airbnd itself felt like a resort with its own patio and lighting. Beautiful pool and planets of room for kids. Private security and not everyone can get inside. Will definitely be renting from them again thank you. Also close to many restaurants including alux which I highly recommend to everyone and coco bongo

Beautiful place, excellent for families, and very safe. We were able to communicate easily with the owners, who were very helpful and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

We had such a wonderful stay. There was everything we needed and more at the house. The pool was beautiful and felt private. The house had a lot of space for everyone to move around and the back patio was so peaceful at night. We couldn’t have had a better experience here. The hosts were extremely attentive and responsive. We would 100% stay again.

We had a family reunion with six adults in this beautiful condo. It was perfect in every way, the pool was fantastic, and the bed is very comfortable. It was super close to fifth Avenue shopping and food. Would rebook this condo in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay at this condo in Playacar. The location was excellent, private, close to the beach, restaurants, and walking distance to town (5 minute walk), but still quiet and relaxing at night. The condo was very clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The building felt safe and the amenities were great, especially the pool and common areas. Communication with the host was easy and check-in was smooth. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay in Playa del Carmen (Playacar) and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient spot in the city.

We just got back from an incredible week in Playa del Carmen, and this Airbnb was the highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and welcoming. The space was spotlessly clean, modern, and beautifully decorated with a perfect tropical vibe—super comfortable beds, great AC, and everything we needed in the kitchen for quick breakfasts and snacks. The location couldn’t have been better: just a short walk to the stunning beach, with all the amazing restaurants, shops, and nightlife, yet far enough to feel peaceful and quiet at night. Our host was outstanding—responsive, friendly, and full of helpful local tips (best tacos, where to rent bikes, hidden beach spots). Check-in was effortless, and little thoughtful touches like fresh towels, bottled water, and beach recommendations made us feel right at home. Playa del Carmen has so much energy and beauty, and this place was the ideal base to explore it all.

We had a great time in Playa del Carmen. Short walk to the city center with restaurants. Walking distance to the ferry that takes you to Cozumel. Short walk to the beach (Use the short cut through the gate) The condo is in Playacar only authorized people and vehicles can enter so we always felt very safe. The rooftop pool is also great. We will come back!

Dan and Marian were fantastic hosts  - they got back to us quickly on any asks, questions, etc…the upstairs pool was our favorite part - the view was amazing. Proximity to town, security, and zen vibe of the complex made this a wonderful stay we would def repeat.

We loved the location of the apartment, as well as the apartment itself. The place is clean, safe and private. It is very close to the entrance to Playacar, it has access to the beach through a gate which can be accessed by indicating that you are coming from Mara. 2 rooms with 2 king beds and a room with 2 single beds. Cleaning service every 2 days is a very nice plus for long stays, they change towels and sheets in addition to cleaning and tidying everything. We really liked the place, the pool is "hot" on the rooftop and very clean. I recommend the place.

Nos encantó la ubicación del apartamento, así como el apartamento en sí. El lugar es limpio, seguro y privado. Está muy cerca de la entrada a Playacar, tiene acceso a la playa a través de un portón al cual se puede acceder indicando que viene de Mara. 2 cuartos con 2 camas king y un cuarto con 2 camas individuales. Atención de limpieza cada 2 días es un plus muy agradable para estadías largas, cambian toallas y sábanas además de limpiar y ordenar todo. Nos gustó mucho el lugar, la piscina es "caliente" en el rooftop y muy limpia. Recomiendo el lugar.

Our stay was made so much nicer by a super communicative and responsive host who helped us enormously. We really felt at home in this place

We absolutely love Mara Playacar and have stayed there every year for at least the past 4 years. First let me say that the condo is nice but lacking many of the finishes and comforts that the other units we rent offer. We decided to rent this particular unit because it was listed as having a hot tub on the terrace which was one of the things I was most looking forward to - especially as there are no bath tubs in the units. It turns out that instead of a real hot tub, it is just a large bathtub which would have been fine, but the hot water tank for the entire unit was tiny and no more than 20-30 gallons at most. We tried to use the ‘hot tub’ but it only filled about 4-5 inches of water before it ran completely cold. I stay in lots of Airbnbs and never leave feedback that is negative, but I have to say it was a huge disappointment and hard to understand how they can list a hot tub as an amenity if there isn’t one. In order to list a hot tub, it should have a source of hot water.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry you misunderstood the options. Our condo description states that it has an outdoor whirlpool. The size is also clearly visible in the photos. Unfortunately, there is no option for an outdoor whirlpool in the additional amenities on Airbnb. We have removed the hot tub option from the listing to avoid future misunderstandings. The 25-meter infinity pool on the roof is available with a whirlpool and is always an option. Best regards

We love this location and we would definitely book again, just a past unit we stayed in!

Great rental for our family with 3 children (4, 8 & 9). Spacious and clean condo with good working AC and amenities. The kids loved the rooftop pool that never had more a then a couple other people in it. The beach was beautiful. It was a comfortable walk and also never crowded. We also had the in-house massages which were great and reasonably priced. Dan & Mariana communicated great if needed, would stay again.

Fantastic stay with husband, baby & mother. Condo is as beautifully pictured & described. Used all wonderful amenities every day. Excellent/serene location in golf phase of playacar (vs beach phase) central & short walk to 5th ave/amazing beach. No shade at beach (beach umbrella would make it perfect). Host provides beach chairs. Playacar is safe & great to walk around, close to groceries, shops & restaurants. Chedraui- best grocery store for quality/price ~ 20 min walk/short cab ride. Womarket + close for quick shop but $$ health food market. Ricardo’s transportation service recommended by host is 5 star. Amazing stay & host. Would visit again! Note for families: construction Monday-Friday (banging/drilling) being done in building & baby did not nap well (temporary). Building new condo across street/loud drilling during the week/obstructs direct ocean view from rooftop. Packnplay -additional padding provided was not safe to keep in crib for 8mo baby/base of crib felt through mattress.

This was such a great find. Although it is a bit away from the beach the home and infinity pool make up for it. The house was well maintained, modern and the daily cleaning service was a plus. Definitely one of my best Airbnb experiences. Everything was just as the listing stated or better.

Communication was excellent from the start and throughout our stay.  The condo is as described.  Rooftop pool is great. Location is excellent, 10min to town.  Overall an excellent stay.  Thank you!

superb condo that's well located to the beach and the boardwalk. Dan and Mariana were extremely helpful, nice and responsive. we are a family of 6 and this was probably our best place ever

A very spacious and clean apartment... if I go back to the beach I would stay there again.

Un apartamento muy espacioso y limpio.. si regreso a playa me volvería a quedar en el.

Wonderful condo in a great location. Dan was a great host with prompt communication and solution to problems. the infinity pool was under maintenance which wasn't advised before but Dan refunded a fair chunk of the stay cost. we would come back.

Perfect location - inside a closed gated community, security checkpoints for guests. Nearby the playacar beach, however short cut is through the Mayan ruins, fine during daytime but a bit dark for night. Felt safe through the pathway Since it was within a community and no nearby restaurants or stores unless you ventured into the 5th Ave area, we did a lot of Rappi app order and delivery. Very convenient and security helped secure the deliveries. We had an 85 yo and two toddlers so walking was not really an option for us. We did walk when we can but they did get tired. For my husband, it was a quick 10 min to town. Loved the pool!!! Very clean and easy to access. The whole house was perfect, clean, all listed amenities and felt safe and at home. Security guards were friendly and helpful. The additional perk was the daily cleaning!! You rarely get that with an Airbnb, felt like a large hotel. They also got a water dispenser which helped a lot so we didn’t need to lug or buy

This place is in s great location and newer building, we would stay here again

We had an enjoyable stay. The place was clean, gym provided amazing views of the birds in the sanctuary, rooftop pool was mostly private at the end of the season, and the welcome book very informative. We also appreciated the washer/dryer available, and the quick responses to questions. Thanks for hosting us!

Beautiful spot to stay, great for families. Host was very responsive and flexible with my requests. Highly recommend staying there.

Dan’s place is fantastic and he is a great host.  Very responsive and easy to work with.  Some small issues arose and Dan handled it like a champion.  Would highly recommend staying here.  Dan is an amazing host!!!

A fantastic airBnB, extremely clean, very responsive hosts, and they would ask / clean throughout our stay. Washer/Dryer were easy to use. The pool was amazing, the private guards for the condo made me feel like a VIP. Amazing place and very private. Also quiet and super close to the PDC centre, i walked there every day and it took less than 5-10 minutes on a very safe road with lots of trees and nature. I think this has been the best airbnb out of 40-50 or so that i have ever been to. You won’t regret booking here.

Great host and nice place to stay. Quick walk to the beach and nice pool on the roof. The amenities were great.

My family rented two condos from Dan over spring break. The units and surrounding area were absolutely beautiful. We loved taking in the views and bird-watching from the pool deck. Inside was exactly as pictured with all of the comforts of home and plenty of space to spread out. The area of Playacar was perfectly walkable to Avenida Quinta, although a car is useful for excursions or grocery trips. Dan was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a quiet, serene stay.

This condo is beautiful for a family.  Loved the location. Dan was very quick answering any questions and showed up when we needed him. Highly recommend!!

Condo was well appointed with needed items to make dinner and lunches easily.  The outdoor area was spacious with a nice view of green foliage.  My son loved the little animals that came out during the day and evening that were easily viewable from the deck area.  Very walkable to playa del carmen centro area.  There was also a beach very close. The condo provided beach chairs and a beach umbrella.  We utilized the recommended services.  Specifically, the chef services and transportation services.  Both were easy to communicate with via Whats App.  Overall we had a great stay and were happy to come each evening to nice cold air conditioning.

Can’t say enough about this place! 3 couples travelling from Alberta, Canada. The luxury condo is large, three bedrooms with their own ensuites, kitchen is well stocked, outdoor eating area was peaceful, large and gorgeous setting with the shade from lovely trees. Had our coffee, enjoyed some drinks and ate outside on many occasions. Can see little animals from the bird/animal sanctuary roaming around. We worked out in the fitness room several times with a beautiful view of the bird sanctuary- saw iguanas, birds and different animals while working out! Spectacular! 10 min walk to 5th Ave and 5 mins to the beach. Dan was very responsive and very accommodating! Hired their shuttle service recommendation and that worked out great - thank you Oscar! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent again!

Highly recommended! Great atmosphere, beautiful home. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting to have a great stay/experience at Playa de Carmen. Thank you for the hospitality.

Dan&Mariana were perfect hosts and the home was exactly what the listing showed and what we hoped for prior to arrival. They communicated well prior to, on the day of check-in and while we were in the home. They arranged for in-home massages and a car to the airport. All flawless. The home is beautiful and as others have stated, just a short walk to downtown. The indoor and outdoor spaces are special and the rooftop pool a bonus if you're in the mood. Highly recommended! To the hosts: Thank you for a lovely stay.

The place is perfect. In reality it’s even prettier than the photos.  We will definitely be back

Difficult to find something better!!!!! It was a pleasure and a lovely moment to be there. The vacation is perfect and well equiped. I'' be back one day!! Thanks for everything

The place is great , it's our second time , and we'll be back !

El lugar es genial , es nuestra segunda vez , y volveremos !

Dan and Mariana’s condo was wonderful. A great getaway and centrally located.

Me and my family loved Dan and Mariana’s condo it was nothing short of amazing it had everything you needed and close enough to everything if you needed to walk or bike also it was very private and secure community we felt at home. My kids especially loved the roof infinity pool also the WiFi was very fast so no worries there if you needed it . Dan and Mariana were very responsive to any and all of our questions from places to check out to eat to even simple requests I would definitely stay with them again thank you for the amazing Christmas

One of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed in and the roof top pool is stunning. Would def stay there again. Walkable restaurants and the birds sanctuary right next door is a must visit.

Great place. Large space with a great outdoor area. The pool was great. My daughter enjoys the pool more than the beach so we spent a lot of time on the roof top.  Home is very close to shops and restaurants as well as the beach. I wish we had more time to explore. Place is nicely appointment with just about everything you might need. We cooked a couple of meals and enjoyed eating on the patio. There is one tv in the home, but we didn’t go to watch tv so it was not a problem. I am a crazy light sleeper and wish there were more window covers as light filters through the shades. Place was quiet at night which was great with the proximity to busier areas. Host was very responsive and helped us to schedule massages for us. Great pricing and the therapist was amazing. I have had regular massages and she was amazing! My favorite thing about this place was the sunsets from rooftop. Great experience! Great service!

It was a great day, and I really appreciated the extra attention Dan had to take care of even the smallest of matters.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. We walked to most places and really enjoyed the safe and the serene environment. The house was clean and very beautifully decorated. Dan&Mariana connected us with a local contact who drove us to Akumal and provided outstanding service. It was above and beyond, and made for an amazing snorkeling day at Yal-Ku. I will definitely recommend this place and hope to be back!

This place was awesome. So peaceful being next to the bird sanctuary. We walked everywhere each day down 5th ave and back during both day and night. Felt very safe the entire time we were there. We also used private chef services for 3 of the days there which was really nice and the menu was very good. (Chef Eli). Oscar was also awesome getting us set up with transportation to places outside of the area. We really didn’t have to worry about anything with Oscar. He was always on time and had very informative drivers. We honestly have no complaints.

It's a great option. I loved Playacar, it is very peaceful and very familiar. There are very good pools at the condominium and they were always almost unoccupied for more than it was Easter week. The house is excellent. A good grill and all good. Regards!

Es una gran opción. Me encantó Playacar, es muy tranquilo y muy familiar. En el condominio hay muy buenas albercas y siempre estuvieron casi desocupadas por más de que fue semana de Pascuas. La casa excelente. Un buen asador y todo bien. Saludos!

We are glad that you had a great time. Thanks for your visit Sebastian

I just stayed here last weekend for my bachelor party and we were all very impressed. The condo was exactly as pictured in the beautiful photos. Dan & Mariana were super helpful in advance of the trip, helping my friends and I arrange transportation from the airport. The beds are comfortable, the rental is spacious with high ceilings, and the roof pool is heavenly. I did not realize that the condo is situated next to an incredible bird sanctuary, I suggest checking it out! This experience surpassed my expectations in every way, Dan & Mariana know what they are doing!

Amazing place and hosts! It is huge and even more beautiful than the photos. The pool is fantastic. The complex is right next to a bird sanctuary and set in a very natural area. The gym is great and actually overlooks the sanctuary. Very walkable area, I wish we had more time to explore. We mentioned we were bringing our 8 month old, and a crib and high chair were set up and ready for him! The place was very clean and they cleaned everyday as well (which I was not expecting - but was great). Communication was fast and the hosts were very helpful. I hope we are able to come back and stay here because it made our family vacation perfect.

It was the best vacation of our family life, The service was amazing , the house Beautiful three min walk to the ocean . Exceptional maid service, we will definitely come back ! Thank you

Fueron las mejores vacaciones de nuestra vida en familia , La atención fue increíble , la casa Preciosa a tres minutos a pie del mar . El servicio de limpieza excepcional , sin duda volveremos ! Gracias

A great place to bring your family or friends. The condo is spacious, private, and walking distance to the beach and 5th avenue shopping. The gated community of Playacar is well looked after and secure where the condo is located, along with the security & caretakers at the Mara condo building itself. Our entire family enjoyed the rooftop pool & beautiful views. Great hosts, with excellent communication, and ensured we were well looked after. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Loved the place!  Great location, impeccably furnished, beautiful building.  Dan was very helpful.  Loved the view from the rooftop pool!

Great spot to stay, easy to walk to the beach and to 5th to the shops and restaurants. Dan was great, he helped with any problems we had and fixed anything right Away. I would defiantly stay here again, the pool is Beautiful and it was always really quiet no one was around so that was nice to! I would recommend!

The place was amazing.  Rooftop pool was wonderful to swim in.  The place itself was great with tall ceilings, a great view and awesome showers with rain heads.  About a 10 min walk to 5th Avenue area so easy access to everything.

The place is spectacular!!! … close to everything you want to do in Playa!

One of the best Airbnbs we have stayed at! Everything was just like the pictures shown and Dan&Mariana were very responsive to all our queries. Great location close to shopping and grocery stores! The rooftop infinity pool was amazing. Highly recommended!

This is a great place. It’s in Playacar, but still very close to 5th Ave & all that Playa del Carmen has to offer. It’s very spacious & Great is you have kids. It’s clean & there is a housekeeper that comes every day. The rooftop pool is clean & beautiful with ocean & tree line views. It’s a really nice place.

There are Air BNB’s then there are Air BNB’s. Please get your money up and avoid any of those other poverty places you may see in PDC This place is gorgeous super spacious and great locations. The beds are the best, so good that I didn’t even venture out to explore as the beds were so comfortable. Just stayed on the couch and watched Stranger things for most of my stay. The pool is excellent, only went once so I could stunt for my Instagram haters. The gym is great, has a stair master so you can work off the tacos and hamburgers. Quiet location but close to all the action. Will be returning…

Gorgeous place, just like all other reviews we loved the apartment, the pool, the access. We had a great time ! Thank you!!

A great place to relax after a day in Playa del Carmen, the condominium is very clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The infinity pool and view from the top floor are breathtaking.

Great location. Very responsive host. Pool wasnt ever busy, even on spring break!

This is probably the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! The condo itself is beautiful, spacious, and impeccably clean. All the beds are comfortable and the condo is equipped with anything you might need during your stay. Our group of 6 was very comfortable in the space. The condo building facilities are wonderful (highly recommend going to the gym, which overlooks an aviary/nature preserve) and the rooftop pool is awesome. The location is very safe and well-situated as you can easily walk into the town or go to the beach. A special shout-out for Dan, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. He helped us check in, arranged an in-home COVID test for one of our party, and helped us with our check out time as well. I cannot recommend Dan & Mariana’s condo enough - thank you Dan!

Great place, great location.  The pool was fantastic.  10 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to downtown restaurants & the ferry.  It was handy to have the car to get to Tulum and run to the grocery store but almost on the verge of not needing one.

I had an amazing stay. Best location in Playacar.

This place is amazing. It's clean, well situated, safe. The views from the pool are fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and probably will next year. Dan is available anytime to answer questions and help with other activities in Playa. Thanks!

Great place, huge new flat, plenty of room, each bedroom has its own bath and wardrobe. Great living room, new kitchenware and fridge, good washing and drying machines. Everyday cleaning is very convenient. Great location - Playacar is closed territory near Playa del Carmen, very clean and safe. Condo is walk distance from the sea, beautiful ruins and town itself. Was happy to stay there, especially after 3 weeks in hotels with strange restaurants and no washing machine :))

The place is accurate to the pictures and description. Great communication and easy checkin/checkout.

The Mara condo is as beautiful as shown in the pictures. The unit is spacious, well equipped,  and accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. It was tough to leave the gorgeous rooftop infinity pool and view, but the beach is definitely worth the 10 minute walk through the ruins. The condo is perfectly located within easy walking distance of local restaurants and shopping. Dan, the host, is a strong communicator and went out of his way to make sure all of our needs were met. Daily housekeeping was certainly a nice bonus for an Airbnb. Definitely recommend.

The place is as advertised. Beautiful condo with everything you need. Incredible location close to all food and shopping. Host is very responsive and stands behind the services he sets up.

Excellent place to be. Dan is a very responsive host. He took care of every need quickly down to the Covid testing for our travel! The condo itself is gorgeous and close to the best of Playa Del Carmen. Wish I could buy one of these, they are so good.

If you are looking for a true oasis of peace and hosts that are truly available to answer your questions that is the place to go. Matthew and loved the place and I highly recommend it. Close to the main Playa Del carmen street without being too close (noise wise). LOVED IT!

The building is located in an extremely safe area. Well maintained apt. Within Playa del Carmen complex in walking distance there are two great places to eat healthy food The Main Street of the busy town of Playa del Carmen is 10 minute walk away. Highly recommended.

Dan is an awesome host. He is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond with anything we requested. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay while in Playa Del Carmen, this is it.

This was a FANTASTIC stay; Dan was super helpful for the entire visit, the place is just gorgeous, the location is perfect and safe and super luxurious — just wow! Thank you for everything :)

The condo is new and very well outfitted, it was perfect for a restful 5-day stay.   Spent a lot of time at the rooftop pool, which has a great view of the sea.  The beds are comfortable, everything was super clean.  The location was perfect for us - close enough to walk to dinner and beach but also not in the middle of the bustle of the town.

Dan and Marina were fantastic hosts.  The place is beautiful and everything is as described/ pictured.  Will definitely recommend and hopefully return!  Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

This place is better than advertised in my opinion.  Clean and roomy with all the bits you need for a comfortable stay.  The rooftop pool is a fantastic place to relax and take in the views of the ocean!  5-7 min walk to the main Centro drag where all the shopping and restaurants are located for nightlife and good eating!  Dan was a very helpful host!  Highly recommend!

There are super hosts and then there’s Dan and Mariana. Superhost does not begin to convey the experience here.  Dan was responsive to every need and arranged everything for us with expertise and ease. One day when a taxi he arranged for us at 6:45 am did not show up, he was there in minutes to drop us off at the docks. Amaxing!  The condo is stunning and as others have said the photos don’t do it justice.  Modern, clean, well kept and high end finishes every where. Fabulous experience all around. Recommend highly.

A stunning place that is full of amazing decorations and high quality furniture and amenities. Huge place with lots of privacy and a great infinity pool on the roof. Super convenient location and very secure, with private garage parking. Couldn't be better! Dan is awesome too, so helpful. He really cares about his home.

Fantastic place to stay in Playa. Dan is incredibly responsive and accommodating (even arranging our transportation and Covid tests for us at home); this Airbnb is run like a professional hospitality biz. My favorite was the rooftop pool, which is STUNNING, and almost never occupied by anyone else. Beds are extremely comfortable, and you have all the amenities you could need (including well-stocked cooking ware, if that's your thing). The place is spotless due to the daily cleaning service included (and the maid is so very sweet). The *only* quasi-annoyance has nothing to do with the Airbnb, but just a pro tip: it's really tough to get to a liquor store by foot from the condo (but I think that's the case at any residential area, as the stores that carry booze are mega-stores like Walmart), so I recommend buying a few bottles at the airport!

Great location, great amenities, great host. We had the perfect stay and will be back.

I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our stay at Dan & Mariana's place in Playa del Carmen. The apartment was in a great location and was perfect for our family of 4. Everything about the apartment was beyond what we expected – the size, the deck, the kitchen, the bedrooms, the bathrooms and the roof-deck pool. The daily cleaning service was also great. Dan was our main point of contact and went above and beyond, arranging transportation to and from the airport, helping us get the required Covid tests before flying and answering any questions we had within the hour. We would gladly stay here again any time we are back in Playa.

Highly recommend this place - very nicely decorated, very spacious and great amenities in the building. Close to downtown, where you can walk to the restaurant area.  Will definitely come again for this amazing experience!

Dan was very attentive and helpful, the location is perfect place from the downtown playa de carmen area . Dan made accommodations for pick up and drop offs, he also helped us get out covid test for entering the U.S again

Shanti is an absolutely beautiful, re-energizing, and truly comfortable place to stay, just a short walk (5 min) to the great, ample, luminous beach, all across a delightful path of houses and trees. The beds in both bedrooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms are relaxing and spacious, the sound of birds present across the property is just delightful, and the views from the roof pool are amazing at every moment of the day. We also felt safe with the excellent Mara building security staff, and the genuinely welcoming, caring energy that pervades the premises, including the excellent taste in decorations, lamps, and furniture materials selected by Jeyechander. We rented a car for part of our stay and it was easy to park in the garage and drive to nearby sights in this amazingly beautiful region. The cleaning team in charge of ensuring the place was in shape before our arrival had a couple review and maintenance oversights, but as soon as notified, the hosts addressed the items quickly, attentively, and effectively, as Dan & Mariana took care to make sure we were comfortable. The subsequent, new cleaning staff were also helpful and punctual. The apartment was perfectly set up for a longer stay--the kitchen is modern and fully-equipped, A/C works flawlessly in each space, the washer/dryer are top notch, and the wi-fi works very well even for remote work (there are two wi-fi signals, in case you need a backup, which we did not even need). In sum, we had a wonderful, healing stay. We would absolutely stay at Shanti again and hope to do so in a future visit to this region! Thank You Dan, Mariana, and Jeyechander! Keep thriving and take good care!

Everything about Dan and Mariana's place is exactly as advertised (which we've found is true only with the very best Airbnb hosts). It's perfect for two couples—each bedroom with its own bath (and a view into the aviary out back) arranged on either side of a comfortable TV den, all nicely separated by a short hallway from the main living/dining area and kitchen. A great location within Playacar, very close to the path to the beach and the entrance to the town of Playa del Carmen—we could walk everywhere! The view of the ocean, with Cozumel in the background, from the rooftop infinity pool is spectacular. Just what we had hoped for!

What an amazing condo! It is very well setup with all the essentials of home (even air freshener in the WC). The beds are so comfortable and the AC can be controlled in each room. It is also in a very safe location with 24/7 security and close enough to the beach and shops (within 10min. walk). We had a rental car and were able to use a spot in the garage  which has elevator access to the condo. Oh and the rooftop pool is amazing, so overall loved it. Dan is a great host, would definitely stay here again!

Such a wonderful place for our vacation! The apartment is lovely, quiet, and had everything we needed. The location is a short walk to all the shops and restaurants as well as the beach. I never wanted to leave the rooftop pool area... the view was breathtaking! Dan was extremely attentive. What a wonderful host. Than you Dan!

Great spacious condo very well located (close to the beach, close to town on feet).  The beds are comfortable.  The terrasse in front is perfect to enjoy a calm relaxing breakfast.  The view from the pool is spectacular.  I recommend this place for an amazing holiday.

Dan is an excellent host , he was always on top of our needs, he was very kind to recommend restaurants , the place is very comfortable, impeccable , very spacious Thanks Dan , it was a great experience 👌

This is a fantastic place to stay in Playa del Carmen. Our family has visited the area multiple times for mid-winter beach trips; usually staying at all-inclusive resorts. This was our first time staying in a condo and Dan’s airbnb was amazing! Condo is located close to the beach and entrance of the large gated community of Playacar. This provided a nice sense of security — we felt very comfortable walking / jogging on streets nearby. The location within Playacar is also ideal; despite being outside the hotel district it’s only a 5-10 minute walk from the main Playa del Carmen center (e.g. restaurants, shops, etc). The key attraction of the condo though is the roof deck pool which is actually nicer than the photos in the listing suggest. It’s a beautiful pool with comfortable furniture and a gorgeous view of the ocean and lush surroundings. There’s also a nicely equipped gym with windows that look out onto a bird sanctuary — amazing! Condo building is also kept very clean. Unit itself if very comfortable and very nicely appointed. Nice quality appliances, comfortable and stylish furniture. Even comes with beach chairs and umbrella. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay. It’s good to note that staying here is definitely a more quiet vacation than being in the midst of an all-inclusive resort (which our teens sometimes prefer). But, our family felt the calm / sleep quality / relaxation of the condo itself and (especially) the roof top pool more than compensated. We’ll be back! (Final note: Dan is a great host — particularly if you use WhatsApp for communication. He provided a great set of recommendations and was very responsive during our stay.)

Very nice condo with great amenities and excellent location. Super easy to get into town and 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The place was beautifully furnished and spotless. Dan was easy to work with and highly responsive. Overall, a great stay and would highly recommend!

Upscale home away from home. This place does not disappoint. We felt very secure at all times. Loved the infinity pool and gym as well.

This. Place. Is. Amazing. The decor creates the most zen atmosphere. It’s like stepping into a boho zen house. The views create a jungle paradise. The AC was always crisp and a great break from hot humid days. Everything was at expected from photos. The beach is maybe a 3 minute easy walk. The beaches were never crowded and clean. The people were friendly. Security recognized us and always smiled. The whole experience was amazing and Dan was always available!

Amazing hosts and beautiful place. Our stay was wonderful. Thanks Dan!

The two bedroom condo in Mara Condos, Playacar is perfectly situated within 5 minute walk to the beach (through the jungle with Mayan Ruins on the way) and 5 minute walk to the famous 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen. The rooftop infinity pool is a mediation heaven. Dan was amazing. He attends to every need we have. Dan arranged for us an in-room massage on the day we arrived and got us bicycles to ride around Playacar. This was my third stay at this condo and I would rent it again. I have stayed in many places throughout Playacar and Playa del Carmen, but Mara Condo has it all.

Beautiful condo, great rooftop pool, great maid service. Accommodate 4 easily Eating out one has to leave the area- there is one restaurant in walking distance called Prego. Good food n value also a Starbucks close by Getting/ walking to the beach is a bit of a chore as there are only 2 ways Get the pass to use for security- host will explain Taxis are confused about this location- need card with address , phase 2 noted, and next to the bird sanctuary needs to be spelled out If you want a chair on the beach and breakfast, lunch and cocktails, try Royal Hideaway- 80$/ day. Beautiful place, great food. Bring passport otherwise no access 5th Avenue a hopping place for bars, shops, lots of people. Plank - great dinner restaurant n the Hyatt Grill is awesome but lots for every budget.

Can’t wait to return to this AMAZING place. Seriously - it surpassed every expectation.

Pictures are 100% accurate and couldn't have asked for a better experience.  The place was spectacular, clean, spacious with plenty of extra towels, linens, etc.  Dan was also a great host, super fast responses and went out of his way to make our stay a great experience.  The rooftop pool was also amazing.
