Jungle Pool Villa | 5BR Gated Playacar Hideaway - Villas for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We were a 11-person bachelorette party and really enjoyed this spot. We spent a lot of time at the pool and in the spacious dining area. Dan & Marian helped us organize an amazing chef and boat tour to Isla Mujeres! Thank you for making the bachelorette a success!

Great stay. Very spacious and well equipped home. Absolutely nothing to complaint about. Cleaning services were a plus and we appreciated the flexibility to allow for a late check out. Would recommend this 10/10.

Amazing and very comfortable stay! It was exactly what I wanted for our friend trip. The neighborhood is in a secure and quiet neighborhood yet it is a short ride to the main street. On top of that, Dan and Marian were very good and responsive hosts. They gave were very proactive at giving us recommendations and making sure we were comfortable. I would definitely come back to stay!

Dan was responsive and accommodating to our requests. His place is very beautiful in a very safe neighborhood. Would go back again

We had a wonderful stay at Villa La Vida Loca! It was the ideal setting for a bachelorette trip as it was spacious and comfortable for all nine of us. We especially loved the pool and the large dining table for gathering and enjoying meals together. Dan and Marian were very helpful and responsive, assisting us with everything from getting groceries to planning a fantastic boat ride. We also appreciated the home’s location within a gated community, which felt safe and secure. Highly recommended for large groups looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

Great spot, looks exactly the same as the photos. Would come back again

House was great, matched the photos. Short 15min walk to beach and town. Host was super responsive. Had one issue with one of the air conditioning units and it was fixed very promptly. House cleaners and pool cleaners came twice and worked quietly and did well. Would gladly stay again.

As a frequent traveler, I can honestly say with experience that this was one of the best Air B-B my Family has had yet!  This is an incredible house!!  Dan and his Team are awesome!!  Tony the maintenance guy was super nice and always around to make sure things were tip-top!  Communication overall was proactive and responses were darn near immediate.  Dan recommended Susan the Chef and that too was awesome!  The house has everything you need!  Each room is just as good as the others and the bathrooms are all awesome (and lots of them).  Plenty of towels and linens (nobody likes to run out of towels) and the maid service is more than ample (also very nice and friendly).  Taxi service into Playa is fast and about $4 per person (if you don't want to walk...its definitely walkable but we didn't want to sweat).  Walking in the morning is best and there are great sidewalks in the community.  This is located in a very safe, secure and beautiful area.  Highly recommend!  Premium experience!

Amazing space for a group of 10 adults.  Area was quiet and felt very safe.  Walking distance to 5th Ave (15 minutes).  Pool was nice.  Host was very responsive however there were some issues with the house as it needs some TLC.  We had a sewage smell in one of bedrooms upon arrival.  Maintenance was sent to fix it, no further issues after repair.  We had no hot water upon arrival, told host and maintenance came the next day to fix it, had no water again on our final day.  Out of 4 days we had hot water for 1 day.   We figured out how to turn on pool waterfall but watched it carefully as host indicated some issues with it.  Overall great experience but some  more property upkeep would have made the experience better.

Dear Angie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us at our villa. We genuinely appreciate your comments, as they help us continue to improve our services. We are truly sorry to hear that you experienced some minor issues during your short visit. Given the size of the villa, it is not uncommon for occasional challenges to arise, but please be assured that we strive to address them promptly. Our team works diligently to resolve any problems on the same day whenever possible. Regarding your concerns about the waterfall feature, we want to clarify that it operates effectively. The recommendation to turn it off in the evening was made to prevent excessive wear on the pump, as continuous use in such high temperatures can indeed lead to appliance malfunction. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. Concerning the smell in your bathroom, we found that it stemmed from a drain cover that had come loose while you utilized the showers. Such instances are rare and typically occur when guests exert significant pressure on the drain cover for an extended period. As for the hot water issue, we understand that this was inconvenient for you. You reported it on Saturday evening, the second day of your three-day stay, which coincided with strong winds that unfortunately caused the pilot light to blow out due to the boiler being repositioned after maintenance in a windier area. We responded promptly to your report, and once repositioned, the water heater has functioned perfectly since. We recognize that sometimes troubleshooting can take a little longer than expected. While we value all feedback, we believe that a three-star rating may not fully reflect the overall experience and the swift response of our team and the Villa, especially considering the short duration of your stay. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, so we can provide you with the exceptional experience that our villa is known for. Kind regards, Dan & Mariana

Dan’s Villas was absolutely incredible. We stayed for my Bachelorette trip with 13 girls. The house was perfect for the size of our group. The house is located inside a gated community where people were walking, riding bikes and walking their dogs. Very safe and secure area. Right outside the community is first street which is where all the bars and restaurants are located. It’s probably a 3 minute taxi ride which costs about $25 USD, we could have walked but we were in heels. Dan was able to do a shopping service for us prior to our arrival so we had food and drinks. There’s also Uber Eats if you want. Dan recommended a private Chef Susan who was the HIGH LIGHT of our trip. She made us brunch and was our bartender for Saturday out by the pool and then again for dinner on Sunday. We ordered a Mariachi band through her as well and they were fantastic. Dan was very responsive to all of my many questions prior to arrival and I give our stay a 10000/10! We will be back!

Eleven family members from Canada, the US, Central and South America, travel yearly to warmer climates for bonding. We were ALL extremely pleased with the spaciousness, cleanliness and walkable location to the beaches, shopping and restaurants. The cul-de-sac setting was quiet, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked. Our host was very responsive, for example, an upright bottled water dispenser had a leak and hours later a new dispenser was delivered and setup. As a frequent traveler, I can say that our hosts were on top of their game. You really can't go wrong with this rental.

Beautiful house! Walkable to the city center, very peaceful. Clean and as advertised. Dan was very responsive and helpful

Dan was an amazing host. He was responsive and helped us with all our requests. The place was clean, spacious, and quiet. We enjoyed all the amenities. The beach and downtown were a close walk. We enjoyed our stay!

We had our family reunion here over the Christmas holiday (14 people-8 adults, 5 kids & 1 infant). Very spacious for everyone. Great patio and pool area. The unheated pool was a bit cool at this time of year, but the kids preferred the beach anyway. Short walk to town and the beach. Lots to do in the area and great places to eat. Had a great time!

Great Home, great location, amazing destination. Can’t ask for more. Thank you again.🙌

Absolutely loved our stay! The villa was not only beautiful but full of charming, thoughtful details that made it feel extra special. You can tell a lot of care went into creating a cozy, welcoming vibe—everything from the decor to the little touches around the space was perfect. The location was super central, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. On top of that, the host was incredibly flexible and kind, which made our experience even more seamless. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Host was super responsive and answered all of our questions. The location was a little far for a larger group to walk to and from town, but it was easy to get transportation. Would recommend!

We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning Airbnb in Mexico! The property features five spacious bedrooms, each beautifully decorated. The backyard oasis with its pool was a highlight, perfect for relaxing and enjoying family time. Our host, Dan, was fantastic! He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, providing local tips that made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was ideal, with easy access to attractions and beaches. Overall, this Airbnb exceeded our expectations and created lasting memories for our family. We can't wait to return!

Truly an incredible stay. I had my bachelorette party here and the space was HUGE (bigger than the photos), so clean, and we felt so catered to. The backyard is private and the neighborhood is super secure so we felt very safe. The hosts hooked us up with grocery delivery, a chef, and a private driver. They were extremely helpful every step of the way. Sadly due to the seaweed we weren’t able to go to the beach, but it’s walkable. So is town.

Dan was extremely resourceful and communicated effectively. The house was beautiful and clean inside and out!

Dan and Mariana were unbelieveable hosts. We were a group of 10 people for my sister's bachelorette weekend, and we were very comfortable at the house. What's more is that we booked nearly every activity through the hosts, including a private yacht day, private chef, airport transport to/from Cancun, massages, and even pre-stocking the airbnb with groceries before arrival. I have never been in more constant communication with an Airbnb host before, either before or during the trip, and they were so responsive and helpful, and made this trip such a huge sucess.

The Villa was super clean, comfy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Dan and Mariana were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, and their recommendation for a private chef was absolutely amazing. We’d absolutely stay here again and can’t recommend it enough to anyone visiting the area.

Dan’s place was the perfect home to host our parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration. We made such amazing memories during our stay. We especially loved the big round table for all of us to feast on the recommended chef’s cuisine. He arranged a fantastic trip to swim with the turtles and see the cenotes. Highly encourage everyone to experience this!

Dan and Mariana's place was great! Exactly as advertised, great location and well maintained.  There was a little bit of temporary construction nearby, but otherwise extremely private and a great spot for a group to relax and enjoy the sunshine.  Easy walk to the beach and Playa del Carmen.  We were a group of 11 and very comfortable - would happily return!

The Villa was perfect. Close to town and the beach. Extremely well equipped for our family of 12. Cleaning and maintenance staff were excellent. Will definitely be back. Thanks Kim & Val Connell

Dan was a great host for a very special multigenerational family gathering! His pool cleaner and outside cleaner Toni was amazing and helped us out even cracking up a coconut which was super cool! The cleaners were there many times throughout the week which was super cool and they had many Instructional guides to awesome restaurants and many other tourist attractions. I would say one thing that was not the greatest, as I wish they would’ve frontloaded that we would had to get jugs of water and may have a suggestion of making that clear upfront that it is on the guest to get water jugs refilled. Other than that amazing host and amazing spot.  One thing that also would be super cool if they added a Jacuzzi as that would be next level.

We just had a great family vacation for a week in Playacar for 12 people! There was so much to do and see and mostly within walking distance. The private beach was amazing too. thanks Dan and Mariana!

I visit Playa del Carmen every year for the past 10 years. This home is by far the best place I've stayed. It was absolutely perfect! It is the perfect place for a family to experience a holiday together. I will be back! Private yet close to everything - the perfect place to stay in Playa.

Dan was very communicative and very friendly and attentive. The housekeeper who came daily was very sweet and respected our wishes if we did not want our rooms cleaned for that day. the guy who maintained the lawn was also very quiet and did not disrupt anything or disturb us he also came in daily. Just like the pictures the area was very private, which was great and his recommendation for the taxi drivers were awesome. Great experience at the house and the surrounding area was beautiful just as described. It was such a beautiful home for my bachelorette. My girls felt comfortable and welcomed.

We enjoyed ourselves. We will never forget our experience here; everything was seamless, thought out, and just as promised.

Dan was very responsive when we had questions. We were not as close to town as I thought. 27 minutes walking into town or a 10-minute drive. We kept the house clean. I don't feel a cleaning lady was needed every day. FYI, the sanitation in Mexico has you throwing away your used toilet paper in lieu of flushing it. After reading reviews it feels as though they have one there to make sure you are treating the house with respect and keeping it clean. It was great to have some beers in the fridge from the previous renters. Recommendations: 1) label all the light and fan switches. 2) full-length mirrors in the house and 3) lights in both pantries as we could not see well when it was evening ti The driver was not Ricardo; it was someone different each time. They are based in Cancun, not Playa, so they are an hour away. They were very well priced. In the book, we used their Taxi driver, Sergio. He charged us $25 for a bus of 9-12 people to get into town each way. That was expensive.

I’ve been to Playa del Carmen before and I have stayed at resorts, this time we wanted the freedom to explore the surrounding areas and this villa was the perfect fit for our family, it was clean, comfortable, the pool was amazing, the beach and the 5th avenue were super close, honestly one of the best places experiences I’ve had renting an Airbnb.

Dan is great. we had a hurricane come in while we were there and they were always on top making sure everything was great for us and the house. They were there the next day to clean everything up andake the pool usable. Great location great house great hosts

A beautiful place which sits in a lovely gated community.  Having the house keeper come everyday was a super plus. The address getting to the property was a little tricky. Having the access to all inclusive resorts within walking distance to the property was a major win.

Had a great stay - enough space for our party - 15 minute walk to the beach.

This was a great spot for a weekend of fun. I booked it for my sister’s bachelorette and we had a great time. The pool was clutch- we hung out there for hours. Dan was great about giving recommendations and helping out. We ended up using the suggested driver and private chef service, which worked out really well. I cannot suggest the private chef service he recommended enough - the ladies were so nice and the food was incredible! The house looks exactly like the pictures, and is around a 15 minute walk from the main town. The beach was a bit of a walk away, but the amazing pool more than made up for it. Highly suggest getting up early one day to watch the sunrise from the roof!

Me and my company had a great time at  Villa!!! Very comfortable bedrooms with the toilets and showers ‼️Big  pool and  cleaning 🧼 service every day !!!!I wish to be back Thank you Dan for help and fast communication 🚀

Great house in a convenient location. I would stay here again!

This property is even better than what the pictures and description depicted. It's a great spot for large groups. Dan was very helpful, clear, and responsive throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend this property for your visit to PDC.

Totally totally totally recommend staying at Dan’s. We had a group of 9 staying for a Bachelorette Trip and the house was absolutely perfect! Super spacious!!! The house is in a gated community, so super safe. The house was super clean, the daily cleaning services was amazing. The pool was perfect and outside area was perfect for our group. Dan was amazing with communication and had great recommendations. The recommended driver Oscar was the best along with recommend chef services provided by Susan - Uno Catering. The meals provided were absolutely delicious. I felt we were all one big happy family prior to arriving! If you are going to Playa Del Carmen, this is the house to stay!

We loved our time at Playa Del Carmen, but staying at Dan and Mariana’s made the vacation extra special. We had eight adults and two kids, aged one and three. Each couple had their own bedroom with king-size bed and private bath. The kitchen and living area was very spacious, but our favorite place was the round table where all of us could easily fit around for meals and playing games. The outside space was perfect. There was enough shaded eating area, but ample space in the sun. The pool was perfect for the adults, but also had a shallow pool for the kids. We were exceptionally cared for during our stay. Mariana and Dan gave us all the necessary info before our stay. We arranged for the chefs to come for dinners and that was one of our best decisions. They were absolutely lovely and the meals were delicious, loved by all! Oscar, our driver, helped us throughout the week. He made the trip extra fun and easy. We were grateful for the chance to stay at this lovely home!

Its taken a few days to process this last week at Dans place. Truly magical describes it best. The published photos look great but do no justice to how fabulous the place really is. All the lighting in the pool and outdoor space really made it feel cozy, especially at night. The multitude of lounge chairs and beach toys gave us lots of flexibility for those that wanted sun, and those that preferred some shade. We could all hang together without feeling on top of each other. The outdoor TV was nice that we could all watch a movie curled up on the couches. The spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms gave everyone the personal space they needed, especially the two teenagers, but had great common rooms to gather in as well. Dan was quick with responses and requests for additional items. The location gave us the nice quiet neighborhood feel, we felt safe, kids had a bit of independence, and just a short distance to catch a cab, and town was very close by. We all voted to return ASAP

Great home for the many members of our family.  We had our seven month granddaughter with us and Dan supplied a highchair and two pack and plays for her to use.  Easy walking distance to the beach and town from the Villa.  Our daily cleaning lady was meticulous on making the Villa shine.  Our family enjoyed the beautiful Villa and pool and would love to vacation there again.

Perfect for 10 of us and we had a wonderful stay!  Walkable to town and the beach.  Generous supply of towels and well appointed.  I recommend it and would come back!

Overall, location was beautiful and pleasant. The host were very respectful and proactive on all communication. Great place to stay!

A truly perfect home for a big group vacation! Dan and Mariana could not have been better hosts - extremely responsive, helped us coordinate rides, chef, etc. The house is exactly as pictured. Plenty of space for a large group to be comfortable. It was kept spotless by a daily cleaning crew. Well provisioned kitchen, linens, etc Location is PERFECT! Playacar is a gated community that is extremely secure and safe. Close enough to downtown but secluded. Definitely take advantage of the hosts recs for a private chef, groceries and Oscar the driver. Made the trip so smooth and hassle free We will be back!!!

This is truly one of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The home is absolutely beautiful and well designed. It’s located in the private gated community of Playacar, and the home is in a quiet cul-de-sac. The hosts are very attentive and easy to communicate with. The cleaning ladies did a wonderful job of keeping the home looking great. We were a large group of 10 adults and 1 toddler and this home felt very spacious for us. I highly recommend this home for large families.

We had a great time at Villa La Vida Loca! We used the grocery shopping service with Mariana, private chef and bartender with Susan, and transportation with Oscar. Everything was straightforward just make sure you are prepared to get tons of cash! We loved hanging at the pool and having the cleaning service every day was a huge luxury. Playacar itself is gated and extremely quiet and safe, though just a 15 min walk from the action. We also walked to the small beach one day (15 mins) - really nice as well though no seaweed cleanup / facilities.

Dan & Mariana’s house was lovely. The private chef they recommended was great as well.

The home was amazing and beautiful. We were a group of 5 and everyone had a great time. It’s a short walk into the down town Playa del Carmen area with all the restaurants, shops, and bars. Perfect location. Hosts were helpful and communicative at all times. Highly recommended. We will stay here again next time we are in Playa del Carmen.

Amazing family vacation at Villa la Vida Loca! Dan & Mariana were responsive and helpful leading up to our trip as well as during our trip. Their reco for transportation with Oscar’s company was safe, reliable and helpful with airport transfers and half-day trips we planned. Susan was great and we booked an in-house chef’s dinner with her team which was amazing. The location was great (quiet neighborhood), it was walkable to the beach (about 15min with lots of adults and 6 kiddos aged 1yo-6yo in tow) and the house was incredible from the king-bed rooms w/en suite baths to the pool (and small attached pool perfect for babies/toddlers) was incredible. Highly recommend and will stay here again if we come back to Playa. Loved it!

We had an amazing stay with three families (6 adults, 6 kids) for Thanksgiving! Dan and Mariana were fantastic with recommendations around the area and amenities available at the Villa. Would definitely stay here again!!

Dan & Mariana were incredibly welcoming and responsive Hosts. We felt supported knowing they were available to help throughout our whole stay. The home itself was lovely- we especially loved the large round table (many fun conversations were bad sitting around hearty meals) and our stay overall was perfect!

Stayed here for my bachelor party and had a blast! We were 13 and the house still felt huge! Beautiful house with great amenities and great customer service. The cleaning lady was clutch also (Paola)!

If you want to visit Playa del Carmen with your family this is the best Airbnb. Children felt like home with everything.

Beautiful home felt right at home so comfortable definitely will be back. This place is a must stay everything you need is there. Very private everything so close by.

I can't say enough good things about my stay! I had my bachelorette party with 11 of my friends and this space was perfect! Every bedroom had it's own bathroom [which was a major plus], and it was all perfect! I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here! 10/10!

A beautiful , comfortable , quiet place, hosts were always attentive and welcomed us and said goodbye very kindly , the place is as the photos show, you really feel at home . The surroundings are very quiet. Everything is very reliable . The very easy access, communication and promptness with which they respond to you is incredible . Our favorite part was the pool , all very organized. I would definitely love to come back soon .

Un lugar hermoso , cómodo , tranquilo, los anfitriones siempre atentos y nos recibieron y despidieron muy amablemente , el lugar es como lo muestran las fotos , realmente te sientes como en casa . Los alrededores muy tranquilos , todo es muy confiable . El acceso muy fácil , la comunicación y rapidez con la que te contestan es increíble . Nuestra parte favorita fue la alberca , todo muy organizado. Definitivamente me encantaría regresar pronto .

The hosts were great, very responsive to any questions and helped connect us with great local transport. Was great to have daily cleaning service, the beds were comfy and the pool was awesome! Overall, we had a great stay at the Villa.

My friends and I absolutely enjoyed this property. We came to Playa for my 30th birthday and had the best time within this house. The house was spacious and was easily able to accommodate for 9 of us. Great location!!! Walkable to downtown Playa and you feel safe within the private community. Oscar (private car service) and Susan (private grocery shopper and event planner) were  amazing to work with and made sure all of our needs were met. Would highly recommend this house to anyone staying in Playa and would definitely return for another stay.

Visited this Airbnb for my bachelor party with 9 other guys, and loved every second! The house is gigantic, with many bedrooms and bathrooms. Every room has an AC unit that you can control, and every bedroom has a private bathroom. The pool is great, and very deep. I believe the shallowest end is still 5 ft deep. Dan/Mariana were extremely communicative and answered our questions quickly. Their colleague Oscar is the real MVP. He helped us plan all of our excursions, got us groceries to be set in the house before we arrived, organized shuttles for us…etc. the house also came with a water cooler and many sealed drinking water tanks, in case you’re concerned about the water situation. The Airbnb is about a 15 minute walk to the edge of town, and closer to 25-30 minutes to the heart of the town so keep that in mind. Would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone.

Our group of 9 adults and 3 kids just returned from our wonderful vacation. We had plenty of space to gather as a family but also spread out throughout the house when we needed privacy. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The air conditioners worked great especially after a hot day. The best part of the house was definitely the pool/pool area. The water was warm but refreshing and deep enough to jump in. Our only mistake was renting a car. You are very close to 5th ave and all the restaurants that we walked everywhere. I would recommend renting a car for a day or 2 if you are doing an excursions that is far. The host were very attentive and responsive. I highly recommend this house. We can't wait to come back!

Great place to stay! Very spacious  and very neat.

This is the best Airbnb experience I have ever had! I visited Playa del Carmen with 8 friends for a bachelor party and we were so fortunate to have been able to stay at Dan & Mariana's Airbnb. Prior to arriving in Mexico, our hosts provided information for our private driving service, chef, and recommendations near by. Throughout the trip, Dan & Mariana + Oscar (our driver) were so responsive and even picked up an entire grocery list for us ahead of our arrival. We arrived at the Airbnb to find everything we asked for (water, eggs, meats, fruits, vegetables, beer, liquor, and anything we could imagine). The Airbnb itself is absolutely amazing (just like the photos). The pool, bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoor areas are all pristine. Our hosts even provided a cleaning service every day so it was never a mess. We partied, relaxed, recovered and it's only a 15 minute walk to beach / town. This is truly the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! Dan & Mariana are true superhosts!

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

This property was amazing. It was completely as described and the hosts were awesome and very responsive to any questions we had. The experience was great loved the location and would have stayed longer if we were able to. The staff at the property was super friendly and answered any w questions we had and gave us great info about the area. The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was relaxing and special. I would definitely stay at this property again. Would highly recommend using Dan and Mariana as hosts. Hope to stay again some time

Thanks so much Mindy! You always welcome. Dan&Mariana

The location and their driver Oscar were amazing. Oscar truly set us up for success 24/7 with any request we needed. We even invited him to have a dinner with us one night. Great location, great house, truly a gem. I would have given stronger reviews if: - the housekeeper would have kindly told us to adjust the air conditioning thermostat instead of secretly taking pics and sending to owners (we caught her taking pics of the thermostat when she didn't think we were looking). It felt like she was 'spying' on us instead of communicating like any adult would, and our entire group spoke Spanish kindly with her, no reason not to communicate. Dan showed up the next morning to tell us to turn the a/c off as we left for our excursion, though we wanted to keep the house cool for one of the sick guests undergoing chemo -kitchen had ZERO supplies. No basics, bone dry, nothing left fr previous guests. For the price we paid, close to $5K disappointed no salt pepper or oil for cooking etc.

Dear Priscilla, we gladly accept the claims of our guests in order to improve our service. Please allow us to correct and add some details. First our apologize for these minor inconveniences. Our staff is very well prepare and wants to bother guests as little as possible. We are very sorry if you misunderstood this. Our cleaning lady has been instructed by us to report issues what needs attention or repair so that we can rectify the issue as quickly as possible and don't will affect our guests. Our cleaning lady photographed this day a small water trail under the air conditioner in the living room and sent it to us. If the temperature is set to 16 degrees Celsius, the pipes can get freeze in this time of heat and the air conditioner will fail. When I saw you the next morning you told me that you were all going out on tour for several hours. All windows were steamed up and condensation was running down inside. I have asked polite that you turn off at least one air conditioning in the living room or change to a higher temperature for the times you are not in the villa and allow the compressor to recover and have a working air conditioning system when you return. Our air conditioning systems work very well and the house will be cool for many hours, but with the constant 16 degrees Celsius that you have set, problems can arise in this heat. Our welcome book has clear instructions that we're sorry you may didn't read. Otherwise you wouldn't have run 10 air conditioners below the 20 degrees when you're all out for several hours. All services are included in the price, such as cleaning service, pool service, garden service, electricity and water. Also include filter drinking water, toilet paper, hand soup, shampoo/conditioner, napkins, hand paper, dishwasher taps and more... The villa provide a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need as written in many other reviews. *Inexpensive* items we fill up regularly before each rental such as salt, pepper, oil and tea. Located right next to the fridge in a storage space where you have to open a sliding door. Apparently you didn't find it during your short stay. Coffee and filters are located next to the coffee maker. You also could have sent us a short message if you were missing something and we would have delivered the same day. We always around and deliver cleaning supplies etc. In one review you will find, for example, how we buy and deliver medicines for sick guests and much more about our great service. The price of the villa is designed and justified for 12 people. Even if you rent with less, most time all of the rooms will be used. There is a very high electricity bill as 10ACs run 24 hours (we are lucky not by all guests) and a very high water bill for the pool and garden. The maintenance costs are generally very high as we often have large groups up to 14. I'm not sure if salt and pepper really made you feel unhappy. But I know that your group left and even after departure the AC/s running and lots of lights was on and unlocked doors. I turned all off personally on the Sunday afternoon after your late checkout. We wish you had mentioned in your review the beautiful rooftop or the amazing big clear pool, the incredible chef service from our provider Susan you had the first day. You could also have mentioned that we let you check in in early without extra costs for you and that you also had a free late check-out. At least you were happy with Oscar. He is also a provider that is only chosen from us, to guarantee our guests the best service. I don't know your currency, but in USD your payment is closer to 4K while our payout is close to 3K. A little more truth in all your words would have been nice. We wish you all the best, Dan&Mariana

I just got back from Mexico for my bachelorette and had the BEST stay at Villa La Vida Loca. The house was spacious, with a beautiful pool and outdoor space. We used the chef service from Susan twice and it was delicious!!! The chefs were efficient and so wonderful. We also used Oscars service multiple times through the weekend. He was absolutely amazing, so helpful and stayed with us when we went to the cenotes to watch over our stuff. All in all, highly recommend this house for anyone visiting PDC!

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

My friends and I stayed at Villa La Vida Loca for a bachelor party. Dan and Mariana we’re very responsive and the Villa had everything you needed. The Villa was a beautiful and spacious place to stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and the hospitality. We had Oscar and his team from tiptoptoursmaya who provided our transportation all weekend and to/from the airport. They were great! Lastly, we had Chef Tonatiuh Villalba and Luigi for our private chef dinner. They did a awesome job with every meal and catered to all our needs.

Dan & Mariana were extremely accommodating & helpful throughout our stay. They helped get groceries to have ready when we arrived, recommended places to go, helped with transportation, and any other requests during our stay. We messaged them quite a bit throughout our stay, and they were always kind & responsive. We had a group of 9 people. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the bedrooms were very quiet. The private chef (Susan) that was recommend was great. She coordinated our dinner, but there were 2 other lovely ladies (forgot their names) that came to the house & made our dinner amazing! Transportation was coordinated through Oscar (and several drivers throughout the trip). I wished the transportation from the airport was communicated a little more clearly. It can be confusing once you exit the airport with 1,000 taxi drivers asking if you need a ride.

My friends and I stayed at Villa de Vida Loca for a bachelorette. The Villa is beautiful! Dan and Mariana were very responsive and their place was well equipped with everything you might need. None of the girls wanted to leave! We hired Oscar to drive us to and from all weekend. He was always on time and had great recommendations for things to do. We also had a private chef dinner which was fabulous. Hands down one of the best trips ever! Thanks for everything. 😊

Beautiful vacation home exactly as described and shown! It was the perfect spot for our four families to relax and enjoy Playa del Carmen!

Such a wonderful place - everything described and so much more! Truly lovely, every bit of it; from the daily housekeeping and pool cleaning, to the extra beach towels and well supplied kitchen.  The frosting on the cake was the recommendations to use Oscar for shuttle services and Susan for catering.  They absolutely made the trip a rousing success!!!  Susan put on two events for our party - a ladies luncheon and a dinner for 15 on the rooftop.  Both were beautiful and the food absolutely delicious.  She was outstanding to work with!  And Oscar....what a complete & absolute gem!  He arranged pickup & delivery to &nfrom the airport, took us to the grocery store and made sure we sampled the best local restaurants.  The tour he provided at the Tulum ruins was amazing & he even brought us some soup when some of us weren't feeling well.  He was the best part of the trip and we felt like family when we left.  The home and hospitality were second to none!

As a group of 12, we had a great time at the airbnb. The hosts’ communication was immaculate. The process of checking in was easy! And they were always available to reply back to us. We did not walk into town as a group, instead we took taxis and it was an easy 2 min walk to the Main Street to hail a taxi. The kitchen were well equipped with everything we needed. We felt right at home as a group. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious! Love the closet space as well! I would recommend that you put blinds on the door to one of the single bed room on the 2nd floor, as the light can be bothersome in the morning to wake up to and also to provide more privacy. I would also recommend labeling the body wash and shampoo in the bathroom because we weren’t able to easily distinguish between them. As a group we felt really safe at our airbnb. We had a great time there! And we would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Dan and Marianna were wonderful hosts. Anytime I contacted them, they responded right away. The location was nice and close to Playa del Carmen for walking. We enjoyed the pool, the personal chef service was spectacular and the cleaning ladies were all very nice and cleaned the house well. My only issue was the internet service. Dan tried to get it working but it was very spotty...sometimes yes, sometimes no. But Dan tried his best. Cellular data was spotty too. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay, plenty of space for 11 of us and we had a great time. Beth Summer

With a family of 12 including kids/baby's we had a wonderfull stay in the villa. Perfectly clean, great location en good host with excellent communication and help when needed. Everything was arranged for the baby's and even extra toys were brought in. The recommendation for Oscar as a tour guide and or driver was really great and much recommended.

Great Villa, excellent location and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. A friend forgot his wallet and they returned it.

Fantastic spot! We had a group of 10 and had plenty of space. The pool was amazing and the location is great. Would for sure come back!

We had a great stay at the apartment!  We had a group of 11 and the layout of this place was perfect was entertaining such a big group.  On top of that, Dan and Mariana were great with communication throughout the process of booking our stay!  We will definitely be keeping this place in mind for future vacations!

The house is incredible and has everything you need. The pool is well kept and maintained on a daily basis, and the daily maid service was very thorough. My group took advantage of Chef Susan’s team as well as using Oscar the private driver - both were top notch and very communicative. If you want a luxury vacation, do not hesitate to book with Dan & Mariana and please take advantage of all the other services they have connections to. Looking forward to staying here again!

Where do I start.. Dan and Mariana are really superhosts, they replied to any query in minutes, were extremely attentive to any concerns we had. If I could give 10 * I would. The Villa is exquisite, beautifully and thoughtfully layed out, with every detail thought of. The back yard and pool is a little piece of paradise. Having a cleaning crew come on a daily basis is a huge help Thank you Dan& Mariana for thse wonderful experience you gave us!

This house was amazing! Dan & Mariana were extremely helpful and accommodating. La Villa Loca will always be my first choice in Playa Del Carmen and somewhere I can easily recommend. Clean, spacious, close to everything, basically perfect.

This house is just so good to have a relaxing time with your family, Playa del Carmen is so close of everything, this is a good choice.

Dan & Mariana’s home is spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. My family had a wonderful vacation. We enjoyed the access to a driver, the chef, and the maid. The pool in the back was well maintained for the duration of our stay. I recommend visiting!

We had a family of 8 and had plenty of room to move around. This place was everything and more! We were able to check in earlier than expected which was an added bonus. Dan and Marina greeted us at the house and showed us around. They were very attentive and answered within the hour if we had questions. We used Oscar as our tour guide and I highly recommend him If you are in the area. Dan and Marina also set us up with Oscar. We also had chef service from a recommendation from our host. I would definitely recommend this house if you are in the area. It is close to 5th Ave, the beach, and a shopping center in proximity. I give this place a 10/10. Thank you for welcoming us in your home Dan and Marina!

The house was so beautiful, grand and it was equip with everything one will need down to bug spray. Truly felt like a home away from home. It was an awesome place for my family to gather and celebrate my mothers 60th Birthday. The home was quite and well secure in a gated community. We had a slight issue with the guards at the gate but the owner has excellent customer service and responds quickly to any issues and/or questions that may arise. He was very personable. My mother and family really enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely come again.

Excellent hosts and a beautiful home. Had space for all of us to enjoy each other’s company but also have private space sometimes. Having the smaller pool and the larger one served everyone’s needs in our family. Dan and Marianna are perfect! They were very responsive in a speedy manner. Whether it was answering my pre-trip questions or during our stay attending to any question. My grandson developed an ear ache, and Mariana even went to the pharmacy and delivered drops to the Villa. That was above and beyond! Dan personally checked in on us as well. They were wonderful hosts.

The house is exactly as advertised.  The only issue was some construction noise, but the owners compensated us for that.  We were out and about most of the time anyway, so it wasn’t a huge issue.  It’s a great neighborhood with easy access to town.  I would highly recommend staying here!

This Airbnb is AMAZING, one of my favorites that I have been to. The hosts were very quick in replying to any messages I sent before and during my stay. Their recommendations for a car service and concierge were phenomenal as well. Oscar was our driver for the weekend and I can't rave about him enough, he was very diligent and a great driver. There was a daily cleaning lady so the house was always spotless; the recommended private chef was beyond great.  Susan, who was the concierge pre stocked the house very nicely. There is no con to this experience. I would defiantly recommend to anyone staying in Playa Del Carmen.

I can't begin to explain how much my group and I enjoyed our stay here. The driver, chef services, and attentiveness from both Dan and Mariana far surpassed our expectations. The location is great, a short walk to the beach. It feels very safe in this neighborhood and the rooms are spacious! I will definitely be recommending this villa to friends & family!

What a great place! Everything was just as described, the location is awesome and walking distance to everything. I definitely recommend this place, everything exceeded our expectations!

Villa la Vida Loca is a wonderful place to stay.  We had 6 adults and 6 teenagers with plenty of room for everyone.  The location is close to beach and town.  Oscar (the driver) was wonderful and took care of us all week.  We also had the chef one night and the food was fabulous.  Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Such a great time at La Vida Loca! You will enjoy every single minute of this place! Adding the chef and bartending services made it even more special! Thanks again Dan and Mariana for the great experience! My friends and I felt like we were in the comfort of our own homes our entire stay!

Our group had a great time at villa la vida loca!! The house was perfect for 8 of us with lots of room to spare. Everything about the House was premium and met our needs. We Celebrated a bachelorette party and the whole group gave this home and the service a 10/10. Special shout out to our host Dan, who helped me With countless coordination, our driver Oscar - he was the best. And Susan for helping us with the grocery shopping and catering! We had the best time

This home is amazing!  A place for everyone and each bedroom with it's own bathroom.  It really makes for a great getaway, close enough to walk into town, but within a gated community.  There are also many areas for seating and relaxing, including nice outdoor seating.  Dan made sure to notify us that construction had begun next door and checked to see if we were still ok with renting, even offering a discount when it was beyond his control.  The construction wasn't bothersome and we enjoyed our time there regardless.  One of my favorite things was the maid that came daily, how wonderful to have everything tidied and clean the whole stay!
