LUX 4BR Condo! Ocean Views! Pool! - Condominiums for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Overall it was a great experience! The apartment was just as shown in pictures, great location, great pool, a lot of space. Very peaceful place and I definitely would stay here again. Thank you to the host for the hospitality 👍

An absolute pleasure. By far the nicest unit for rent in Mara. We come back every year and love it!

The property was impeccable. Furniture, bathrooms, closets, utensils… all top-notch. The rooftop pool is wonderful, with sunshine well into the late afternoon. The Samson Waters management is great. Our host, Fernando, was super friendly and helpful. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 children; EVERYONE had their own space. The living room, which serves as a family TV room, is wonderful for the kids. Kitchen open to the dining and living room for those who like to cook. It has 2 beach umbrellas but only two folding chairs to take to the beach. Four more chairs would raise the rating to 11/10 😜, as it is definitely a 10/10. We will rent again through AIRBNB, but I will keep an eye out for the Samson Waters guarantee seal.

La propiedad impecable. Mobiliario, baños, closets, utensilios… de lujo. La roof-pool maravillosa con sol hasta bien avanzada la tarde. La administración de Samson Waters, estupenda. Nuestro anfitrión, Fernando, súper amable y atento. Éramos un grupo de 6 adultos y 4 niños, TODOS tienen su espacio. El salón que sirve de family-TV-room maravilloso para los niños. Cocina integrada al comedor y salón para los que gustan cocinar. Tiene 2 toldos pero solo dos sillas plegables para llevar a la playa. 4 sillas más elevarian la puntuación a 11/10 😜 ya que definitivamente es un 10/10 Volveremos a rentar por AIRBNB pero estaré pendiente del sello de garantía de Samson Waters

Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure for us to welcome you; we are delighted to have guests like you. Your feedback is very important to us. We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our properties. 🙂

Stunning apartment with an amazing roof top pool just superb we will be back everything was just fantastic and a great allocation

We were a group of 8 and were extremely comfortable at this property. The place was beautiful, clean, large, comfortable and plenty of space for all of us. Fernando was warm and welcoming from beginning to end; always responsive and checked in occasionally (via text) to ask if anything else was needed. He brought us fresh water bottles when he noticed they were getting low and answered all of our questions in a timely and friendly manner. The photos of the property are accurate - it's absolutely beautiful. We would definitely recommend this property (and Fernando!). Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic place, the bedrooms, bathrooms, balconies, living areas all were clean and wonderful spaces. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and gym, sauna. Truly a great place for a group trip. Fernando was responsive, helpful, friendly and flexible with our group. Would 100% recommend and would book again. Thank you!

An incredible place to go with friends, the location, apartment and complex are a luxury. 10 points. Great value for money

increible lugar para ir con amigos, un lujo la ubicacion y el departamento y complejo. 10 puntos. super precio-calidad

Samson Team, Thank you for an amazing and pleasant hosting. The passion, proactoveness and dedication of the host team is extraordinary ( Great Customer service, specially Fernando ). it was an amazing experience for my entire family. As a Mexican-American can recommend this place and the Team because they are over the board with making you feel like home.

Our stay was perfect from start to finish. The place is just as shown in the photos: clean, comfortable and very well maintained. The location is ideal and Fernando was always attentive, with clear and fast communication. We would definitely come back and recommend it 100%.

Nuestra estancia fue perfecta de principio a fin. El lugar es tal cual como se muestra en las fotos: limpio, cómodo y muy bien cuidado. La ubicación es ideal y  Fernando estuvo siempre atento, con comunicación clara y rápida. Sin duda volveríamos y lo recomendamos al 100%.

Amazing place, very close walk to the beach through ruins. The place was so beautiful with an amazing rooftop pool with a beautiful view. Fernando was beyond helpful, always responding promptly to answer any questions we had and also able to help us with anything we needed. 100/10 would recommend Samson water.

We would like to thank you for your hospitality. The location was good to walk to places and tours, it felt like a safe secure place. All guests had a good sleep and the beds were comfy. We didn't have a great time with the coffee machine but we mostly ate out. Fernando was most helpful when we had an issue with the apartment door.

A nice stay within walking distance of the 5th avenue. good communication with the concierge Fernando Rodrigues. He even responded to my messages on his own vacation. We do advise to take photos of all stains that are already present in/on the interior and bedding because after our stay we received a photo of a stain that we supposedly made on a chair and had to reimburse the cleaning costs. The professional cleaning fee was 12 USD, then you think "what is this about". Afterwards, you cannot defend yourself against this if you have not taken any photos yourself

Een mooi verblijf op loopafstand van de 5th evenue. een goede communicatie met de congierge Fernando Rodrigues. Hij reageerde zelfs op mijn appjes in zijn eigen vakantie. Wij adviseren wel om van alle vlekken die al aanwezig zijn in/op het interieur en beddengoed foto's te maken omdat wij na ons verblijf een foto van een vlekje kregen die wij gemaakt zouden hebben op een stoel en daarvan de schoonmaakkosten moesten vergoeden. De professionele schoonmaakkosten waren 12 USD, dan denk je ''waar gaat dit over''. Achteraf kan je je hier niet tegen verweren als je zelf geen foto's hebt gemaakt

Place was very nice and clean. It matched the pictures but they were minor issues. This might be petty but the jacuzzi was not working and we wanted to use it. We had a minor damage to the fridge and they up charged us a full new one without letting me nor my party to look for a spare part. We had to pay a full new fridge for a flap that was damaged. Place is immaculate but be aware of minor details like those.

Hello Mr. Javier, I hope you're doing well. I apologize, but we have only a limited amount of time to address these kinds of issues. Although the damage to the refrigerator was minor, it prevented the door from closing properly, which leads to energy loss and can cause damage to the motor — potentially affecting the next reservation. We truly appreciate your help with the payment for the refrigerator. We wish you success in your future travels, and thank you for choosing us for your vacation. Fernando Rodriguez. Concierge.

The apartment is very spacious and very pretty. It has details and decoration that make you feel at home. Its location is perfect, literally a 10-minute walk from 5th. The pool is delicious, you have a partial view of the beach and we were literally almost alone and we made the most of it. The concierge team is always attentive to everything and that we were not lacking anything. Special thanks to Fernando who was very attentive to everything. Obviously, this accommodation is one of the options you plan to return to again and again.

El departamento es muy amplio y muy bonito. Tiene detalles y decoración que te hacen sentir como en casa. Su ubicación es perfecta, literal a 10 minutos caminando de la 5ta. La alberca deliciosa, tienes vista parcial a la playa y literal nos tocó estar casi solos y la aprovechamos al máximo. El equipo de concierge siempre atentos a todo y a que no nos faltara nada. Agradecimiento especial a Fernando quien estuvo muy al pendiente de todo. Obvio este alojamiento es una de las opciones en el que planeas regresar y regresar.

This place was exactly as described and the concierge was very responsive. They area was very peaceful and was within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the beach. I will recommend this stay to others.

The condo in Playa Del Carmen was very luxurious. We would stay again!

The apartment is exactly as described in the photos and more, location is great just 10 min walking distance from the 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen and the beach. Our host Fernando Rodríguez was very kind and provided us with a lot of information about places and what to do, also always asking if we need anything. Totally recommend this Apartment .

The property is pristine. A very comfortable, spacious and clean place with a delightful view, restaurants and 5th Avenue within walking distance which was quite the perk. Our stay was pleasant and we would definitely recommend this place.

If you're traveling with a large group of friends or family, this is the perfect place for you. The location is excellent, the ambient lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the spacious rooms and common living areas are truly impressive—you’ll be left breathless. The property is in a gated community, so safety and security are never a concern. Our concierge, Fernando, was incredibly attentive. He gave us a thorough tour upon arrival and was kind enough to provide us with extra water for the dispenser.

I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful luxury apartment with my husband and a group of friends and I couldn’t be more impressed. The location is absolutely ideal—close to all the best attractions, dining, and shopping spots making it incredibly convenient. It is located in a condominium, very quiet and with a lot of security. The apartment itself is stunning, with high-end finishes, spacious rooms, and modern amenities. It truly felt like luxury holidays, with every detail thoughtfully considered for comfort and style. The facilities were top-notch, from the well-equipped gym to the relaxing pool area with amazing views, which made my stay even more enjoyable. What really stood out was the outstanding service. The concierge Fernando Rodriguez and the owner Samson were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of my stay was flawless. I highly recommend this apartment!

Perfect place for a bachelorette trip !  7 girls who had a great time . This place is beautiful just like the pictures.  Fernando Rodriguez was really helpful , he gave us recommendations where to go and checked up on us how we were doing during our stay  . Fernando connected us to a transportation company “ Five stars transportation” If you need transportation please book with them.  Our driver Johan was amazing!! He’s the sweetest boy ever ! He made us feel comfortable. He even greeted the bride to be  with a beautiful flower bouquet.  This place is super close to Xcaret and xplor . Both of this places are a must ! Also the ferry’s are 10-15 minutes walking distance.  I highly recommend el cielito Cozumel  it’s beautiful!!!!! Thank you Fernando and Johan ! Definitely going back si dios quiere!

This place is beautiful and roomy. They obviously take great care of the listing and all the furniture and beds are comfortable and good quality. It is also very safe and secure with Security 24 hours a day in a private gated neighborhood. I also would like to give my compliments to Fernando, who was amazing from start to finish, he was very responsive and every morning he would just check in with me with a text and he wanted to know if he can help with anything or if we need anything unsolicited. We also arrived somewhat late and he came to greet us and show us in even though we could have entered electronically without him. We had a great experience from start to finish.

We absolutely loved our stay in PlayaCar, Playa Del Carmen!  From the moment Fernando came to meet us we knew we were in great hands. He showed us around the fantastic apartment and then all the facilities in the building. The apartment was super spacious and very well laid out. There was tons of space for our party of eight. We loved having our morning coffee from the back patio watching the birds and monkeys in the trees. Short walk to Quinta Avenida and all the restaurants. We would definitely recommend this apartment. Beds are very comfortable and the apartment has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay 😊. Definitely would love to return one day!

Great place for large groups! Located inside the private community of Playacar, this condo is perfect if you want to be close enough to 5ta Ave while also having peace and quiet. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 2 living rooms, our group felt together without bumping into each other. The outside terrace with dining table was probably our favorite thing, along with the rooftop pool. The concierge, Fernando, was incredibly helpful even before we arrived. He provided recommendations, greeted us upon arrival, and was very responsive. Him and the security team were always pleasant and friendly! Tip from our experience: You will be asked to use a bracelets for security purposes, so make sure you don’t lose it! Also be sure to check everything for cleanliness and workability, and let them know asap if there’s an issue! They’ll take care of it and you won’t have to worry about it later upon check out. It’s truly a lovely place with just about everything you need for a week-long stay!

Excellent property and service across the board. End lot has a fantastic view of the bird sanctuary. We stayed during the winter holiday, at a time that there is a substantial premium, however it appears that at other times the property is much better value.

The pool photos are missing updates, there is a construction in front that totally changes the ocean view, pool furniture piled up, arrumbado, pool up to 3/4.  There was damage to one of the apartment's terrace due to a hurricane that was in July, 4 months before my stay, and we were not informed prior to my arrival that the repair would probably be during our instance, which was very  uncomfortable that there were strangers coming in and out to the apartment.  The apartment is spectacular, it is luxury, inside as the photos, always attended to our messages and facilitated amenities, the attention to our arrival very attentive, always attentive to us, very comfortable rooms, fully equipped kitchen, which has a washer and dryer is a plus. The place is very comfortable to be in the

A las fotos de la alberca les falta actualización, hay una construcción enfrente que cambia totalmente la vista al mar, mobiliario de la alberca amontonado, arrumbado, alberca hasta 3/4.  Había daños en una de las terraza del departamento por un huracán que fue en Julio, 4 meses antes de mi estancia, y no se nos informó antes de mi llegada que probablemente la reparación sería durante nuestra instancia, lo cual fue muy muy  incómodo que hubiera extraños entrando y saliendo al departamento.  El departamento está espectacular, es de lujo, por dentro tal cual las fotos, atendieron siempre a nuestros mensajes y facilitaron amenidades, la atención a nuestra llegada muy atenta, siempre al pendiente de nosotros, habitaciones muy cómodas, cocina totalmente equipada, que cuente con lavadora y secadora es un plus. El alojamiento es muy cómodo para estar en el

Hi Jacqueline, Thanks so much for taking the time to write a detailed review. We really appreciate the feedback as this helps us continually improve the experience for our guests. I wanted to again apologize for the issue with the glass railing. The replacement was supposed to be done before your arrival which is why we hadn’t communicated the issue with you. The provider had assured us that the work would be complete but during the delivery of the glass panels, the driver was in an accident which broke the panels. This meant that they had to re-oder the glass again. Once we found out the work would not be done in time, we communicated the issue with you but unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of notice for you. The provider was able to deliver new glass during your stay which is when we asked for and received permission from you to access the property to do the work. But it sounds like we fell short in explaining what that would entail. I’m sure it was frustrating to have people in the property during your stay and I sincerely apologize for that. To address your other concerns, I can confirm that the pictures are accurate but we will be adding some extra photos to ensure there is no confusion. We always want to make sure that we are portraying the property as accurately as possible. I wanted to confirm that the work to the railing was complete along with the work to the pool. Thanks again Jacqueline and we hope to be able to welcome you again.

All I have to say is “Wow”!! When starting out our research for a large group, we quickly noticed this property and fell in love with the pictures. We read through the reviews and everyone had really positive things to say about the apartment. When we got there, we were amazed! The photos on airbnb don’t do it justice. The place is amazing and extremely private while still accessible to nearby 5th avenue, I want to give a special thank you to Alonso Pina who was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the duration of our stay. He assisted my wife in the planning of a special dinner to celebrate my birthday. Our entire experience from beginning to end was nothing short of amazing!! Oh and one last thing, the beds were probably the cherry on top! If you’ve been to playa you know that the days are long and exhausting and being able to come home to a bed that is extremely comfortable was a huge plus. We would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay again.

Amazing stay, Kind host that was very helpful and responds quickly.

Condo was as described. Beds were insanely comfortable and the space accommodated my group of 7 perfectly. Very peaceful surroundings (must like the sound of birds for back bedrooms as they are next to the bird sanctuary). 10 minute walk to private beach or to restaurants. 15minutes or so to 5th Ave. Roof top pool was amazing, and 80% of the time we had it completely to ourselves.  We did have a few minor issues pop up with the condo during our stay but Alonso and Pierre (owner) were  quick to respond to remediate the issues. Communication with Alonso was great and well appreciated during entire stay from welcoming us to checking us out.  We can't wait to return.

There are no words adequate to describe our experience staying at this beautiful home. Every possible guest desire is anticipated. The place is gorgeous, well-located in a very secure and lovely spot, just a few minutes walk from the beach and the many restaurants/clubs/shops of Playa Del Carmen. Alonso really was the icing on the cake of our incredible time there, responding immediately to my (many) questions. He set up transportation to and from the airport at Cancun, gave advice regarding getting to Cozumel, and arranged a wonderful driver and guide to Tulum to visit the cenotes and then to the beach to swim with turtles. We loved it so much that we spent our first days splashing in the infinity pool and relaxing in sheer comfort. Okay, my no words have almost exceeded the available characters! Choose this place. You will not be sorry. Photos don't do it justice.

Thank you very much for you comment! We are very happy that you love that place as much as us! Hope to see you soon!

Great place to stay Great size huge pool great bathrooms

The apartment was spectacular! Very large place with a luxury feeling. All amenities were in working condition and exactly as described. We went to playa del carmen in July so it was pretty hot but the AC in the apartment felt amazing. The bed were comfortable, and more than enough space for everybody. Alonzo, the concierge, was super helpful and very responsive. He explained everything and helped us with the transportation form and to the airport. The rooftop pool was also very nice, quiet and clean. My only neutral comment about the stay would be the construction across the street from the apartment complex and how it affects the view from the roof but it really is not a big deal and it will be better once it's finished. Overall we were all very happy about the place and the experience. I will definitely recommend it and hope to be back some day. Thank you!

Absolutely LOVED our stay. 1.) the condo was stunning. Furnished beautifully. Clean. Tons of kitchen utensils and dishes. Great appliances for all that we needed. The water jug was the best! We grocery shopped at Walmart and cooked a few meals at the condo and obviously went to restaurants too. 2.) the bedrooms were amazing and comfortable. Having two living rooms was so helpful for the size of our family. Loved the smart TV's, wifi and air conditioning! The decks were so beautiful! 3.) Alonso was super helpful for anything we needed. 4.) the rooftop pool was magical. I enjoyed it every day and it was never busy. Having beach towels was so helpful. 5.) the location was great. Loved the security yet loved being close to paceo del Carmen shopping mall & Starbucks. 6.) our family used the bikes and explored the beach and loved that too. I can't say enough about how incredible it was. Would absolutely stay again.

This is a beautiful condo in a peaceful, safe location. Being next to the bird sanctuary is a big plus. The pictures are accurate. It has everything you'll need. The pool on the roof is great. We were often the only people there. Our concierge, Alonso, was incredibly helpful with activities and very responsive. A few things to note: (1) There are 4 very nice bikes you can use. One is small, probably for kids. (2) We were provided with plenty of water in large jugs for the water dispenser. (3) The balcony off the master bedroom and living room faces the street. There is a narrow buffer of trees between the building and the street. It is not a busy street, but you will hear cars from time to time if you're out on the balcony. The other deck faces the bird sanctuary and is very pleasant. The vultures (harmless) seem to like it. (4) If you eat breakfast in the condo, La Brioche has nice pastries. It's within Playacar and a 5-minute bike ride. There are other bakeries in town, of course.

The condo was absolutely spectacular. The pictures don’t even do it justice. So modern and clean. Great location and just steps to 5th Ave. Would definitely rent this again next time we are in playa. Alonso was a fantastic host and so responsive to all of our requests. Can’t recommend highly enough

Absolutely! Here's a short and friendly response: --- We're thrilled you loved the condo! It's fantastic to hear it exceeded your expectations and that you found the location convenient. We'd love to have you back on your next trip to Playa del Carmen. Thanks for your kind words about Alonso; we'll be sure to pass them along!

We ended our holiday with a 6 night stay at this amazing apartment and would of loved to stay longer. The apartment itself was clean, well furnished and stylish. Every bedroom had their own wardrobe and bathroom. The living room was comfortable and had a big screen TV where we enjoyed watching movies. The main balcony with the family table was amazing for breakfast. The surrounding area was very secure and the apartment building had its own security at the door. In addition there is a large rooftop pool where we spent a lot of time during the day. The host was also very responsive and even managed to get us a last minute tee time on the fully booked golf course just a short walk away. Definitely would suggest anyone to stay here and we would love to come back again.

Great place, full of birds, real nature, só paceful. Walking distance to beach and few places beyond the gate. Host so helpful. My mom stepped on a rockfish and Alonso helped us to get a doctor at home in 30mins. Always helpful! The place is just awesome we had our family (from 4 different cities, 2 countries) together after so long. All bedrooms have own bathroom, kitchen super equipped. They also have 4 bikes at the garage, we had a lot of fun there! Amazing place. Unfortunately we couldn’t hire a chef (unavailable at the days we were there) but overall we definitely recommend it! Five stars!!!

Super nice place, great communication - apartment is nicer than i had expected amazing value for money. Alonso our concierge was very helpful and was understanding of a few issues we had caused (classic British tourists being stupid) - we had a great BBQ out on the balcony, pool is nice. Honestly the only complaint is the gym only has weights and cardio machines but its enough to maintain!

It was a very pleasant stay, the facilities were very nice and very large spaces, highly recommended

Fue una estancia demasiado agradable las instalaciones muy bonitas y espacios muy grandes altamente recomendable

Beautiful and secure place to visit with family

Gorgeous, clean and spacious apartment that exceeded our expectations. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool which was quiet and had beautiful views. It was also nice being adjacent to the bird sanctuary and being able to check out the wildlife from the balcony. Would love to visit again sometime!

This place is definitely if not the best one, one of the best ones we have ever stay at!  This place is massive, the pictures do not justify what you will experience staying here. The service we got was 5 diamonds! The Samson Waters team, Concierge, but specially Viko went above and beyond in all my questions, requests, communication, recommendations, he is honestly a great asset to this property! Thank you Viko! Next we are coming back to Riviera Maya I and definitely contacting them.  Everything is as defined in the post or even better. Everything was beautiful, we hired the luxury chef for one of the nights and it was amazing!! 100% recommended! I can keep going, but just stay here and experience it!!

Where to begin! Luxurious and beautiful condo , in Playacar 2 . Best condo I have stayed at. recommended! It exceeded our expectations. It’s very big and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable beds, it had everything you can ask for and it’s 5 /10 minutes walk from the town, yet very quiet and with breathtaking views from the roof top .The best location! Will love to come back. Great for families or couples or a group of friends. Exceptional customer service from the Samson waters team! We want to thank you! Helpful and attentive to all of our needs especially Alonso, he came to greet us and explained everything about the condo and the area , very friendly and professional. I also want to thank Jose from security at the entry to the Mara building for helping us with taxis arrangements. We will definitely come back !!!! Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much for your comments Adriana! We will make sure to let our teams and Alonso know your thoughts! We hope to be able to host you again in the future.

Our stay at Mara Condo was truly amazing.  Everything was so close. The unit was huge and had plenty of room for 6 of us. The rooftop infinity pool was the highlight of this condominium, and it was always empty which was plentiful for us. My family and I felt safe at all times, and Henry was responsive to any needs we had and was always available.  Overall great place, great location. Cannot wait to visit again!

Mara Playacar is a hidden treasure for families looking for a retreat tucked away from the crowds found in the resort areas. Upon arrival we were welcomed by both the condo owner, Pier and one of the Samson Waters team members, Henry. This put us at ease with being in another country right from the start! As we approached the condo building we were in awe of its surroundings. Hidden in the canopy of trees we could hear the bird calls of the neighboring aviary and felt like we were part of the jungle. Our party of 8 (5 adults + 3 children) had the space within the condo to unwind from our week's busy adventures while also enjoying separate entertainment areas to view movies or play games. The kitchen and dining areas are very spacious and elegantly decorated. The jaw dropping feature is the second balcony off the extra master bedroom suite. This balcony looks out over the Xaman Ha Aviary. We all enjoyed watching iguanas, parrots, agouti, ducks, pelicans, and more! The Samson Waters Team was helpful from the start with quick replies (15-30 min. max) to all of our planning questions before and during our visit. They helped us set up excursions to Akumal, Tulum, Xtun Cenote, XelHa Water Park, reservations to Senor Frog's Beach Club, and contact information for a private chef. Henry even shopped for our groceries so we had food and drinks as soon as we arrived off the plane. That's service! Although the public beach is only a few minutes walk from the condo, our group loved the rooftop infinity pool the most. Lots of space to spread out from any other visitors, but most of the time we had the roof to ourselves. We highly recommend this property and company to rent from the next time you are traveling to Playa del Carmen. You will not be disappointed!

Overall this place was amazing! Better than the pictures! Everything from food, shops, beach access and nightlife entertainment is within walking distance.  Book now as this is the place you want to be!

Great location! Condo was clean, modern, and spacious. Rooftop is very nice with a great view of the ocean. Walking distance to 5th Avenue, mall, and the private and public beaches. Parking is available in the garage below the condominiums with cameras/security guards to allow access. Walmart is about a five minute drive away. Condo is located in the secure gated Playacar community. Definitely would recommend.

It is a spacious and comfortable property!   Second time we stayed here!    On par is a beautiful aviary!  It really has every amenity and hasn't gotten off at all!  Spacious beds!  Two dining rooms, super equipped laundry!   Very good kitchen!   Everything is high above average!  The only thing that needs to be corrected is that the sound is very sensitive and shoots very easily!   Tolerable decibels are very low!    But overall a 10 out of 10

Es una propiedad amplia y cómoda!   Es la segunda vez que nos quedamos acá!    A la par está un bello aviario!  Realmente tiene todas las comodidades y no ha desmejorado en absoluto!  Camas amplias!  Dos comedores, lavandería súper equipada!   Cocina muy buena!   Todo muy arriba del promedio!  La única que debe corregirse es que el sonido está muy sensible y se dispara muy fácilmente!   Los decibeles tolerables son muy bajos!    Pero en general un 10 sobre 10

Nice. Spacious living areas. Transportation can be arranged. Henry was great with connecting us with the right people. Sam was also great. Enjoyed our entire stay.

Beautiful property. Amazing and semi-private roof top pool. Beach is a short to moderate walk away. Pool was the best aspect in my opinion as well as location/proximity to shoppes, food etc. We enjoyed being next door to the bird sanctuary. Note that the beach in this area is not very deep and can be crowded. Beautiful waters, Cozumel visible in the distance. Great escape for 2 families with teen age kids. Very secure.

Amazing place, much bigger and more spacious than on the photos. The roof is awesome, almost no people there normally and it’s a great place to hang. Close to the restaurants and city, but far enough to be quiet. Would stay again any time.

This place was amazing- and perfect for our group! We loved the concierge service- so incredibly helpful for booking airport shuttles, private massages, a private chef but also for everyday needs- they even helped print something for me! They provided free bottled water throughout our stay and even extra toilet paper and dishwasher pods as needed. They were so helpful and met us in person for check in and communicated regularly throughout via the Airbnb app to make sure our stay was going well. Location is perfect- very close walk to downtown and the beach, and there are nearby bike rentals available. Pool was fantastic- shared but never busy and a good lounging pool that was bigger than we expected. No issues with the sound sensors- we were able to watch tv, play music on our phones, laugh without problem. Would recommend a stay here- it was perfect!

Beautiful place very spacious.  Plenty of room for a big family to spread out!! State of the art kitchen and appliances.  Very comfortable beds (everyone slept great).  Patios are gorgeous can’t say enough about this condo.  Great location too.

The house is even better in person. Our family had plenty of room and it was set up for entertaining a large group with ease. I would definitely book this house again. The roof top pool is truly amazing and we had it to ourselves most the time. It is a short walk to the beach and to 5th Ave. I cant say enough about how great this property is!

A luxury stay that didn’t disappoint. Close enough to walk & far enough away not to hear downtown. The house is A+ and will stay there again.

his service was great! answer every single question and was very kind.

Perfect location near Quinta Avenida. House is clean, spacious and comfortable. Pool area has amazing views. Felt safe for being a girls trip.

Omg!!! This was an amazing place to stay. Me n my friends went for my 30th birthday and it was nothing short of excellence. I loved it. The house was way more than i thought it wld be. So clean, soo big. Lots of space. The kitchen was my favorite spot. The pool upstairs look just like the picture. Just beautiful. Although is was shared, we never seen no more than 3 ppl up there the times we went. It was big enough to share anyway. Brittni was a big help. She set up excursions, transport from airport n back and our private chef. She was texted back right away and i had sooo many questions ab everything lol. But she never lost patience with me. So very nice. Wish we could have met in person lol. Just to give her a big hug n say thank you. Property is VERY secure!!! Which is a great thing. I will say, make sure to get yalls wrists bands so you will be able to walk on n off the property wit ease. We had a lil issue but i think it was only because we didn't speak the language so we didn't understand what was goin on. But if you don't have a bracelet they will keep a drivers license at the gate n you will be able to get it when you leave off the property So it wasn't a big deal once we understood. Also if you take transportation on the property, you don't have to leave anything at gate. The private chef was great. Would deff recommend. We also answered any an all questions lol. He let you pick what you wanted to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Food was great. Wish we cld have meet him but wasn't feeling well but they other other guys where great too. Theres a gym. Although i never went in lol my friends said it was a good gym, and hot which was even better. 5th Ave is deff a place to go. Like a 10 minute walk. Lots of shopping, food, and music. Great place. Lovely views. Amazing location. Definitely recommend. We are trying to plan our next trip here!!!

Property is highly secured . The security will ask to hold a form of identification and  return it each time  you leave the property.  Amazing safe stay

Great place! Great location! Would definitely book again!

Wow what a great experience at our Airbnb in Mara! Looks beautiful in the pictures and looks even more amazing in person. House was the perfect size for our family and we all were able to have our separate rooms. House was securely located inside of a gated community and was near a cute plaza that we liked to get ice cream at every night. Such a fun experience and can’t wait to come back and experience this Airbnb again when coming to PDC! Brittini was amazing and was very helpful through the time I was planning my trip and during. Huge shout out to her!

This place is beautiful and beyond what pictures can tell. It’s nice to walk in to a place you haven’t been before and it exceeds your expectations just opening the front door. Walking distance to town center and ferry to Cozumel. Rooftop infinity pool view is amazing. Bird aviary outside your balcony added bonus. We found our go to place for Playa for sure.

We loved Richard's place, wish we could've stayed a lot longer. I looked at dozens of properties in Play Del Carmen and none came close to the value, size, and luxury of this unit.  The space is truly massive and everything was very clean.  Internet was reliable, kitchen is very well-stocked with quality supplies, washer & dryer worked well, beds were comfy, and had good sound/TV systems.  We came during some heavy-rain days which kept us from enjoying too much of the amazing rooftop pool, but on our last morning, we were able to take a swim and were the only people up there.  We could see Cozumel from up there! A few of us used the gym which also looks out onto the aviary next door. The concierge arranged for us to get massages in the unit and they were some of the best we've ever had! One thing to note is that this is located in Playacar, which is a gated community, and the guards (depending on who it is) may require you to leave a photo ID at the gate in exchange for a "guest pass" if you enter on foot.  This was a bit of an inconvenience with a group leaving and entering at different times, but the concierge offered to supply guest wristbands at a nominal cost.  I think if you're planning on going in and out of Playacar on foot often, coordinate in advance about the guest wristbands. Overall, this is a beautiful property that's great for groups, just a few minutes from the mall and Cozumel ferry. Would love to come back some day!

Expect an amazing time at the condo...I highly recommend using there concierge service...they made the trip easy to enjoy and everything they recommend was better then expected....brittni sets it all up easy and smooth.....we used chef Pedro on the first night and it was amazing. 5 star service

Rick was all ways available and quick respond

Very high quality, new apartment. We lived like we were in a nature reserve. Loved it. Thank you

Очень качественная, новая квартира. Мы жили как будто в заповеднике. Очень всё понравилось. Благодарим

Mara is a gem ! BOOK IT NOW!! The condo exceeds all expectations we had. The pool, the decor, the nature were all great. We went as a group of 7 and there was more than enough room for all of us. The unit comes with everythingyou could possibly need for a great stay . There’s a full kitchen, beach gear, entertainment and more ! The community is very secure and we always felt safe. Rick was very responsive and a great host . Brittni, our concierge was AMAZING. She coordinated everything transportation, excursions, and even my birthday brunch. I hardly had to lift a finger thanks to her help ! While in playa tequila barrel, el fogon, catch, and la bamba jarocha are worth a visit! 10/10 would recommend this place my friends and I miss it already !

Overall, the condo was amazing! It’s more beautiful in person than in the pictures, our group had more than enough space to lounge and enjoy ourselves. The rooftop view was my personal favorite, a view to die for. Would recommend to anyone. Just be mindful of the noise level throughout the day, especially if you are coming in a large group because there are noise censors inside the condo

This place is absolutely gorgeous, super clean and spacious. The master bedroom is away from the others which is always a plus. If you are walking be sure to let them know where you are staying before leaving because they will try to give you a hardtime when trying to get back in. I definitely recommend this place for sure.

Really the most spectacular property I've ever stayed at.   It has everything and plenty.   The pool on the roof is highly recommended.   Comfortably more than 10 people can stay, we were 6 and the feeling is that the environment is empty.  The location is literally on some vestiges of ruins, these 300 to 400 meters from the beach and about 600 meters from the beginning of 5th Avenue.    You can't ask for more.   Finally, it has an electronic churrasquera for barbecues.

Realmente la propiedad más espectacular que me he quedado.   Tiene de todo y en abundancia.   La piscina en el techo totalmente recomendable.   Comodamente pueden quedarse más de 10 personas, nosotros eramos 6 y la sensación es que esta vacio el ambiente.  La ubicación literalmente esta sobre algunos vestigios de ruinas, estas a 300 a 400 metros de la playa y a unos 600 metros del inicio de la 5a avenida.    No se puede pedir más.   Para terminar hasta tiene una churrasquera electrónica para hacer asados.

Our stay was exceptional. Our party of 8 thoroughly enjoyed all amenities in the condo. The condo is well decorated and the condo and building are very clean and safe. Our Concierge Brittni was phenomenal. She took care of every detail no matter the time, always expeditiously and service with a smile. Our trip was also complemented by services from la Señora and Chef Pedro Bermudez. All around a top notch experience. Some added comments: WiFi in general is not great in the area but it was less than sufficient in the rear part of the condo. The pool area is everything it appears to be and more. The pictures of the view and the apartment are exact and in many cases even better in person. The response times from everyone was always quick. The community is VERY SECURE. Avenida Cinco is in walking distance but it’s not right there which is great if you are looking to be away from the hustle and bustle. The beach is not far but does require a little adventure through the small Mayan Ruins about 3 minutes from the condo. They have beach items in the condo too (cooler, chairs, umbrella). Washer and dryer are a plus! Be mindful of the smell that comes from the laundry room....I think it’s normal and not offensive if you keep the door closed. If ordering in and you are a fan of Italian cuisine, Salento will not disappoint. Meeting Brittni in person confirmed what I gathered from all of our interactions over the weeks leading up to our arrival. She’s a gem 💎 Spend some time enjoying the bird sanctuary for free as they will charge you to walk through. You get a great view of the parrots 🦜 from the balconies and the gym. Looking forward to our next stay at one of Rick’s properties.

Very stylish place with outstanding amenities. Every piece of furniture is the highest quality possible which makes the place so luxurious to be around. I must admit we did think we would have the pool to ourselves like the pictures suggested (atleast we thought they did) so it was a bit of a let down to find that it’s 4 floors above and is communal. However this did not take away from the overall experience in the end and we had a great time. Brittni the concierge was extremely helpful and would answer any question we had in minutes through WhatsApp. Overall it was a great stay and I would be ecstatic to be back in the future!

Very good service and the apartment is better than the photographs

Muy buena atención y el departamento es mejor que las fotografías

Wow, what an amazing space! Too often on Airbnb, the photos make the place look better than it is. This one was the opposite. The condo is truly as nice (if not nicer) than photos make it appear. The pool is incredible with breathtaking views, and the location was just perfect. Thank you Rick, Brittni and Team for making this a great stay for us!

This place is wonderful. 2 families with 5 kids and we had more than enough room. It’s large and gorgeous. Gourmet kitchen, beautiful views from the rooftop. Close to town and beach. Highly recommend this lovely condo. We loved it!

Amazing place.  Plenty of room and great location.  Definitely will be back!

Rick’s place was absolutely amazing! Better than expected. The condo was clean.  My group felt safe. We utilized the chef and senora service and both were great. The food was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Look forward to staying again.

The place is spectacular, much better than I expected! In addition, the girl in charge offered an excellent service, she helped us with transfer topics.

El lugar es espectacular, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba! Además la chica encargada ofreció un excelente servicio, nos ayudó con temas de traslados.

The pictures don't do the apartment justice! It's so much better in person. Excellent location and incredible spaces and decor

Las fotografías no le hacen justicia al departamento! Es mucho mejor en persona. Excelente ubicación y los espacios y decoración increíbles

This place was amazing!! We loved everything about it. Great location. Beautiful rooftop pool with ocean views and it was right next to the aviary so we could hear the beautiful sounds in the morning. The place was spacious and very clean and everything you would needed was provided.  The host was very responsive with any questions we had. Fifth ave was about a 10 minute walk as well as the beach if your lucky to get access. Over all it was an awesome location and can’t wait to return.

The apartment will meet the expectations of everyone, even the most fastidious traveler. Decorated very tastefully, with all the comforts. A guarded neighborhood, close to the beach. A kitchen that feels like home. In addition, this apartment has the only terrace overlooking the bird sanctuary, where you can admire different species of not only birds but also reptiles every day. Wonderful place. Highly recommend

Apartament spełni oczekiwania każdego, nawet najbardziej wybrednego podróżnika. Urządzony bardzo gustownie, ze wszelkimi wygodami. Osiedle strzeżone, blisko do plazy. Kuchnia wyposażona jak w domu. Dodatkowo ten apartament ma jako jedyny taras wychodzący na sanktuarium ptaków, gdzie codziennie można podziwiać różne gatunki nie tylko ptaków ale i gadów. Cudowne miejsce. Gorąco polecam

Pictures does not do this place justice. It is better than we expected. The open space is jaw dropping and the roof top pool is wonderful. The location is very close to 5th street and everything else is in walking distance. If you don't want to walk, taxis are fairly cheap. The first bank on the right offers a pretty good exchange rate. The gated community makes you feel pretty safe, and even outside the gated community, walking at night or day you still feel safe. Brittni was very helpful, polite, and responsive. This place is 9/10 and will definitely book again.

We loved our stay! The house is so beautiful. Everything was perfect. The space was super clean & literally had everything we needed for our stay. Taxis were right outside. Beach was walking distance. Perfect location.

Beautiful Apartment, sinning only in the lack of internet for the entire period of our stay, as WI FI e as TV we are all unreachable a major inconvenience

Belo Apartamento, pecando somente na falta de internet por todo período da nossa estadia, sem WI FI e sem TV ficamos todos incomunicáveis um grande transtorno
