5BR villa in Playa del Carmen

Villa Antonella - Houses for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

I would highly recommend this villa. It’s a very large and functional space that is very conveniently located. Jose is an amazing host. He was super responsive and helpful. I would love to stay here again someday.

Jose was super responsive and prompt. He helped organize an amazing chef’s dinner that was vegan/vegetarian friendly. The place is located in a safe, gated community and walkable to downtown. Our group loved it and we'd definitely stay again.

Great villa in a solid location, close to all shops, bars, restaurants and beach. Jose was very responsive and helpful. Good place for large groups, great rooftop patio.

Absolutely incredible stay. Better than the photos. I researched tons of places before settling on this one. Very private, we were able to play music and hang as a large group of women and felt very secure and comfortable in the pool and on the roof. The walk to the beach is unexpectedly beautiful, through a private safe path along Mayan ruins. Walk to town is maybe 15-20 minutes through the safe gated tourist community and an outdoor mall at the edge of town. Airbnb was stunning, with extra bathrooms & outdoor showers we weren't expecting. The whole place was spotless with ample towels, soap, amenities. I was a little worried it'd look more rundown in person because of 1-2 reviews, but it was in great shape and very well maintained. Jose set up our transport and private chef and helped get any taxis into the gated community. As a group of 13 women, we felt totally safe the entire time and spoiled rotten. Thank you, Jose, for helping to make this a fantastic weekend!

Jose was amazing host. Was helpful around the clock on any needs required. My friends and I all had a amazing time staying at the property. We will definitely be visiting again.

Jose was very responsive and listed helpful places to eat and walk to. He was able to provide services, such as chef breakfast and dinners. Would recommend!

My group had an amazing time staying at Jose’s space. The house was extremely comfortable, clean, and the location was perfect for exploring Playa Del Carmen. Jose was extremely responsive and helped arrange our transport from and back to the airport which simplified that part of the process. Anytime we had a question he replied very quickly and was super helpful. Highlights were: safe and secure neighborhood, hot tub/pool, comfortable firm beds, proximity to beach, restaurants, bars, Mayan ruins, and the ferry to Cozumel. Muchísimas gracias Jose, I hope to return one day!

Our stay with me and 5 other adult men at this Airbnb was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The house itself was incredibly spacious, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Whether we were relaxing indoors or spending time in the common areas like the pool, gym, rooftop: we always felt at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing chef, who prepared the most delicious meals for us and she was so very kind and friendly. Every dish was thoughtfully made, and it truly elevated our experience. The host was also fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always available to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made all the difference. Overall, this was a great stay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway. We would absolutely love to return.

Jose was very helpful and accommodating. His shuttle service was useful and the house was nice.

We chose Jose’s Airbnb for a friend’s bachelor party and it did not disappoint. The villa is located in a safe, gated neighborhood and is a 5 minute casual stroll to what has now become my favorite beach of all time. As a host, Jose was excellent - what I appreciated the most was how quickly he would respond to any questions we had. 5/5 stars!

Mr. Jose it’s an amazing Host !! Very friendly, super responsive and always kind. The location of the house was great, walking distance to the beach and town. The house definitely needs an upgrade and maintenance. Mr. José is an amazing host!! Friendly, super attentive and always friendly. The location of the house was good, walking distance to the beach and town. The house definitely needs improvement and maintenance work.

Mr. Jose it’s an amazing Host !! Very friendly, super responsive and always kind. The location of the house was great, walking distance to the beach and town. The house definitely needs an upgrade and maintenance. El Sr. José es un anfitrión increíble !! Amigable, super atento y siempre amable. La ubicación de la casa era buena, a poca distancia caminando de la playa y la ciudad. La casa definitivamente necesita trabajos de mejora y mantenimiento.

Muchas gracias por su estancia!! Estamos trabajando ahora en mejoras y mantenimiento de la casa para tenerla impecable, agradezco sus comentarios

We had a wonderful time and the house is very conducive to spending time together as a group, and also many quiet spots to get away by yourself. The house is very generously stocked with essentials like spices and toiletries. We found a cupboard full of sunscreen, bandages, antibiotic cream etc. We also had use of the bikes. We had two problems with the house: 1) it is very difficult to find. We had three groups come separately and each one had problems. When we tried to google map the address it didn’t even show up, we ended up having to drop a pin. Luckily we had younger people with us who worked that out because I never would have. 2) the house isn’t as gorgeous as the photos. It has wonderful “bones” but appears as though the photos were taken when it was first listed many years ago. The headboards in the bedrooms do not exist and the whole place needs a spruce up. So for $3500/night it was disappointing. The house is in a lovely and safe area close to many amenities.

Hola Debra! Lamento mucho su review, nos esforzaremos por tener la casa en mejores condiciones; solo aclarar que la renta diaria no es la cantidad que usted pone en el review, es mucho menos, casi 50% menos de lo que usted afirma, los impuestos y la comision de airbnb no es nuestra responsabilidad y emitir estas cantidades de manera irresponsable afecta mucho nuestro trabajo e imagen

We loved our stay here in Playa.  Jose was an incredible communicator, and we can't wait to return!

Our stay at Jose's place was a great experience and enhanced our family trip. Jose was very responsive quick and happy  to accomodate us with any need that came up to make our stay more comfortable.  Jose is definitely a super host and would recommend him anytime!!!

Great choice of accommodation! I would highly recommend it 👌🏻 We hired a private chef and were very happy with the service they provided us. 🍽️ In addition, José Efrén was always attentive to our stay and very kind with any questions we had. 10/10! ⭐️

¡Gran opción de alojamiento! Lo recomiendo ampliamente 👌🏻 Contratamos chef privado y quedamos muy contentos con el servicio que nos brindaron. 🍽️ Además José Efrén siempre al pendiente de nuestra estancia y muy amable con cualquier duda que tuviéramos. ¡10 de 10! ⭐️

Jose was a great host for 10 of us. Everything was described as the pictures and was always on standby for the guests. Would get his airbnb again in the future.

Spent an extended weekend with 10+ friends and had an absolutely amazing stay at Jose’s Airbnb. The layout and size of the space was amazing and the outdoor pool, hot tub, and rooftop deck were fantastic for hanging out, chilling in the pool, and bbq'ing. Plenty of bedrooms/beds for everyone. Very picturesque, safe, private setting in a gated community, with easy check-in and accurate photos - this is a beautiful location. The location made it very easy to visit town - only ~20 minute walk to the downtown area full of bars and restaurants and close to the beach. Jose was incredibly helpful throughout the process and very responsive to any questions and provided great local recommendations during our stay. Jose organized a chef for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the house, as well as helped to stock the house with groceries and beverages prior to us arriving. Can't wait to come back to Playa Del Carmen and stay here again :)

We had a great stay this past weekend and Jose’s place. Jose was very responsive to anything we needed, the location is Very private and safe

The stay was amazing! Jose was super responsive and ready to help as needed. The villa was HUGE and comfortably hosted 12 of us. The area is beautiful and super close to other resorts and the downtown.

This was a fantastic experience and stay. We had a group of 11 for a bachelor party. The house was a huge hit, very modern, beautiful, spacious, enough rooms and bathrooms for all of us. The pool was a lot of fun to use, we had brought an inflatable table for the pool but forgot a pump, Jose took it to his house and got it pumped up for us. Balcony was great as well. Communication: I communicated with Jose a lot in the weeks leading up to the trip for recommendations and coordination. He was always quickly responsive, polite, helpful. He provided local recommendations and was available to help with bookings as needed. Throughout our stay, he was very communicative and responsive. Services: It was very helpful to have Jose perform our transfers, including airport transfers at early times as well as intercity transfers (since their is no uber). The chef service was amazing, our group loved the chef dinner. Overall: Very comfortable/luxurious stay, great host and services

Very communicative in the weeks before we got there. The house was gorgeous and exactly what our group needed. 5 minute walk to the beach, and from the pool in the backyard you can see Mayan ruins. Beautiful experience.

Our stay at Villa Antonella was perfect for a group of 10. The house itself is beautiful- big windows, big bedrooms with private bathrooms for each room, and two pools. Lots of shower and beach towels were supplied in the house so we never ran out. We also felt one with nature/culture with the backyard view of the Mayan ruins. And we loved that the beach was only a 5 min walk. All in all, it was a great stay! We felt safe and well taken care of. Security Guards were present at different hours of the day in the area. The host, Jose, is so reliable! He is very responsive! Jose and his wife make a great team. They coordinated our transportation, cleaning services, and our chef for breakfast! Magda’s food is superb! Thank you Jose for everything!

This was a great accommodation for a group of ten! Lots of space and areas to relax. The community is extremely safe and the chef was also great! We had massages at the villa which we all loved. Highly recommend exploring the beach during your stay too!

Jose was an excellent host! He was very quick to respond to anything we needed and offered recommendations in the area. He arranged for a private chef come in one night and for our transfers to and from the airport. All of this made our trip very easy and stress free. The house was in an excellent location and everything was very walkable. We had 5 adults and 5 young kids and it was very convenient to get to the beach, 5th ave, etc by foot. The house had lots of space and the little gym was a nice addition. Compared to the photos, I would say the house was a little more worn in than we expected. The pots and pans & dishware in the kitchen could use refreshing and the magnets in the closet didn’t work well. Hot tub needed a little TLC. Overall we had a great stay!

We had a group of 9 at Villa Antonella for a long weekend and had a wonderful time! The host Josè  arranged chef services and massages which were both wonderful. Josè made our experience in Playa del Carmen even better providing airport transfers, transportation to dinners, etc.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the home, amenities, and area. Thank you!

The house is conveniently located near the beach and 5th avenue. There is ample bedroom space with private bathrooms for each bedroom. The home has great AC and sufficient beach towels and equipment for a day at the beach. Jose is a fantastic host and was able to drive us to many attractions, provide reservations for dinner and help us throughout our stay. Pros: Size of house, proximity to everything Cons: Kitchen is small, pots/pans need to be refreshed (handles broken), Hot tub did not work well for us when we were there, pool is not heated and cold during winter. This place will work well for parties and organized events.

Great stay for a group. The Chef was amazing!

Our family of nine had an enjoyable stay at the house for a week over Thanksgiving. The house has several spaces for people to play cards, entertain or find a private moment. We liked the modern open layout. There is a trail to a beautiful and quiet beach, about a 5 min walk. The walk into town is conveniently close, about 10-15 min. No need to rent a car. Jose was responsive to text messages and always ready to help. We provided a grocery list in advance and he stocked the fridge with food and beverages prior to our arrival. On the day that we arrived, his wife made us fresh guacamole and salsa. Jose drove us from and to the airport (for a fee) and also arranged a cook for one evening who made a great meal for the entire family. I can recommend the cook, who was flexible in making several dishes to meet individual needs. Overall a great experience for a large family gathering.

We had an absolutely outstanding stay at Jose’s place. The house itself was stunning and well-equipped for a big group (more on this in a minute) but what made the trip the most special was Jose and his support. He went above and beyond before and during the trip to make sure we were well accommodated, including doing all airport pickups for a big group arriving at different times, arranging yoga, a chef, massages and excursions and helping us stock and re-stock the fridge. He was friendly, responsive and we felt totally safe in his “care”. His support meant that coordinating this large group trip was a breeze and everyone could relax instead of worrying about the logistics. The house is also incredible. Great hangout spaces for a big group, amazing pool, great rooftop with a tv (that we used for bachelorette games/projecting). It’s really nice that all bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the AC throughout the house worked well. Could not recommend this stay more, esp. for groups!

Our stay was impeccable. The house is perfect, along with location and amenities. Jose was an excellent host. Consistent communication and flexibility.

The house was amazing and accommodated a group of 15 comfortably. The house is just as pictured in a safe location. The community is close to town but far enough where its peaceful. The beach was nearby and walkable. Jose was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He setup transportation for our large group from the start of the trip till the end. Definitely recommend staying here.

Our family absolutely loved this space! Jose and his wife are great hosts and I will definitely come back!

Loved our stay here for a friend’s bachelor party. José was communicative and very hospitable, and even picked us up from the supermarket one day when we got trapped in a rainstorm. The Villa was gorgeous and the pools were amazing. Comfy beds and close to downtown PDC. I would stay here again any time!!! Thanks José!!

House was solid and as advertised. Rooftop and pool were great to hang. Efren was great and responsive. Offered to drive us to town when needed and linked us with his chef. Check in and out was smooth as can be. Even shipped us some headphones we left behind. Highly recommend his place.

Wow, I don’t even know how to say to how incredible Jose, his team, and this house was! He’s an incredibly responsive and proactive host who communicated with us months before our trip to help coordinate airport transportation, meals etc. the house is absolutely amazing and just as pictured/advertised. The in-home chef option was AMAZING and the food just absolutely delicious. Jose not only picked up our large group at the airport in multiple rounds, but he drove us to dinners/other excursions, got us groceries before our arrival, and made sure everything was absolutely perfect and immaculate. Will absolutely be staying here again if I ever return to Playa del Carmen - this house and Jose were a huge reason why our trip was so incredible!!

We came in with high expectations and those expectations were well exceeded by Jose. The house was absolutely beautiful, along with a great pool and rooftop lounge/hot tub area. Everything was pristine and it really has that "wow" factor when first approaching it. The house comfortably slept the 9 of us, and we all agreed that it was one of the most beautiful houses we've been lucky to stay at. Location wise, the private community was a short walk away from downtown Playa del Carmen and to the beach. It is central and safe! We had read about the services Jose offered from previous reviews (private chef, masseuses, transportation, and grocery shopping) and we ended up using them all. Chef Magda provided us 3 meals throughout our trip and the group had glowing reviews for every meal. We especially enjoyed the shrimp tacos! Jose was always communicative and punctual with transportation (even for last minute requests) and the massages were loved by all of us. Thank you Jose!

Jose was a fantastic host. He was very communicative, provided transportation throughout the stay and brought in a chef one morning to cook breakfast. These are extra costs on top of the house, however, it is well worth it for the convenience. The house is in a beautiful area of Playa del Carmen and is a 10 minute walk to the centro. Will definitely be using Jose again when I come back

Excellent house and the hosts are always super helpful and took care of whatever is super fast. Super great reservation!

Excelente casa y los anfitriones siempre súper atentos y atendían lo que sea súper rápido. Súper excelente reserva!

The home is in a very safe and friendly/fun gated community. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the house and the pool and rooftop are outstanding. Jose was always helpful and friendly.

Jose was a great host! We had a group of 12 and he was able to accommodate shuttle services, groceries, and a private chef. We were able to contact him with questions at any time and he and his wife were extremely friendly. The place was spotless and was flexible with check-out time. The AirBnb is also located in a gated community and we were never concerned with security at his place. I highly recommend staying with Jose.

Jose was super helpful the whole trip! From arranging transportation, buying groceries, and helping schedule a chef, we felt relaxed the whole trip. Would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic stay! The home is beautiful, clean and looks like the pictures do. Chef was incredible - very friendly and made very delicious meals. Jose was accommodating and went above / beyond coordinating logistics and transportation for our group. Highly recommend!

Our family of ten including four children had a wonderful stay at Casa Antonella. We enjoyed the location with its backyard view of an archaeological ruin just steps away, the abundant vegetation and animal and bird sightings. The house is spectacular in size and amenities with a full stocked kitchen, great gym room, lovely pool and rooftop deck. Location is everything and we felt totally safe in Playacar with close access to the beach and shopping areas. We could walk out our front door and hail a taxi easily for longer excursions. Jose is an excellent host who responded to a few simple problems immediately and with great courtesy. We appreciated finding this gem in Playa del Carmen for a memorable family vacation.

Jose and his team were wonderful hosts for my group of 9! We enjoyed all the amenities Playa del Carmen had to offer and the house was one of our favorite parts!! Jose was always helpful and quick to respond with any request! He even went as far to have fresh fruit and homemade guacamole ready for us! It was delicious! He always provided excellent timely service and transportation as requested! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb and Jose as a host! We had the most amazing time!

Jose and his wife were awesome and accommodating. House was nice and comfortable for a family of 11

José was an excellent host, and made us feel comfortable by making himself easily reachable for whatever. He then went above this base level of hospitality and helped maximize our stay at the Villa by assisting our group in acquiring a extra few services. While we were figuring out how to make the most of local transportation, José and his team provided convenient (and often last minute) market rate transportation services from the Airport to the Villa, and from the Villa to local attractions. Transportation in these cases was for a group of 10. We were there during Thanksgiving, and José was able to get us a chef that cooked and plated a delicious and fresh Thanksgiving meal for 10. The Chef was fantastic, and we were very satisfied. Finally, José arranged cleanings for the rooms and for the pools throughout our stay so that we were always comfortable. I would highly recommend José and would also recommend the Villa. Playacar is beautiful, safe, and conveniently located!

I cannot say enough about how great Jose was as a host! From the day i booked the house to the day i left, communication was always open & quick. The house was clean & Jose even helped me hire a chef & driver for the weekend. We had some issues finding the house at first but Jose was available when i called to help our airport transportation driver find the correct location. I was there for a bachelorette party & all 14 of us enjoyed our stay. I’d definitely stay here again. Jose went above & beyond.

Excellent house and location. The house is exactly as pictured and extremely spacious. We were a group of 7 on a girls trip and Jose was an amazing host that went out of his way to accommodate all our needs - private chef, taxis, whispering angel rose. He’s super easy to work with and we had a wonderful stay. Would definitely return and recommend the property.

Undoubtedly the best option to rent in Playacar the host very attentive to our entire stay with many services that offer a complete and comfortable super efficient house, very good location I have already found where to get all my vacation in Playa del Carmen

Sin duda la mejor opción para rentar en playacar el anfitrión muy al pendiente de toda nuestra estancia con muchos servicios que ofrecer una casa completa y cómoda súper eficiente muy buena ubicación ya encontré a donde llegar todas mis vacaciones en Playa del Carmen

Jose was an EXCELLENT host! From the time of booking to the time of departure he was AMAZING! The chef GABBY prepared great meals throughout our stay. Everything was TASTEE! I can’t wait to visit again .

This villa was great for our bachelorette party! Jose was very accommodating and helpful with grocery items, cleaning, and transportation. The location felt safe and within a close distance  to downtown, the beaches, and marina. There were plenty of towels, hot water, etc. Any issues we had were quickly cared for. I would definitely stay here again!

The house is amazing, epic trip. Jose is super easy to communicate with, 5 stars.

Perfect house for a big group! The chefs he set up cooked up delicious food. Highly recommend.

Simply said: 5 Stars in Every Category. My family just finished a 5-week stay at Jose Efren's lovely home. I had my mother and two young daughters (2 and 7 years old) with me, as well as other family members in this very large and comfortable home. Overall, it was a dream vacation and we felt very comfortable, safe and had a blast! I am a superhost with Airbnb as well, and I frequently stay in Airbnbs and have for many years. By far, this was the best one ever, and all thanks to Señor Jose Efren and his lovely wife, for putting so much attention to detail into the property and our stay. Thank you Señor Jose Efren for you warmth and hospitality! We loved everything about the home (it's gigantic). A few key points that maybe are not apparent on the explanation of this home: every room has its own AC and there are AC (mini-split) systems throughout the home, so one is always comfortable; all bedrooms have a private full bath; there is a bedroom/private bath on the first floor (which was great for my elderly mother); the rest of the bedrooms were upstairs, which was nice and fun to hang out in a sitting area/living room on the second floor where 4 of the bedrooms are located. The rooftop area was very relaxing in the evening we loved hanging out up there and watching the sunset. The pool is also super nice and Mr. Jose Efren comes every day almost to keep it clean and to make sure we were ok/happy. The beach is only a couple blocks away (but this time of year there is tons of seaweed, so we did not use the beach), but that's ok, as the pool was the perfect place to cool off and keep the kids entertained. It was also only a 15 minute walk to a plaza with a 7-11 and other shops/stores, and 15 minutes in the opposite direction to reach the famous "5th avenue." Walking with small children and the weather being so hot was very hard (even for 15 or 20 minutes), but there are taxis that pass by every minute or even more frequently and it was only 150 pesos to get to 5th Avenue (about $7 us). If one doesn't have small children or elderly parents, it is an easy 10 minute walk. Everything was exactly as pictured in the photos, and we felt safe, secure, comfortable and we had so much fun! I am so excited to go back again for another family vacation soon! Thank you Señor Jose Efren for your loving and careful hospitality and also we thank you very sweet and helpful wife. We are very much looking forward to seeing you again very soon!

WOW . Jose and his Wife keep the house super clean and everything in working order.  The house is in a great location.   We had a great 5 nights.  From before we checked in Jose was checking to make sure we didn’t need anything else for our stay.

If I could give them 5 starts over & over again I would !! From the time I booked this house the communication between me & them was everything so helpful, the transportation the communication the house the chef the customer service everything was amazing… will definitely be back to visit again thanks again for everything

This property was exactly as listed! Everything was amazing. Jose was a great host. Any issues that we had he was able to rectify it immediately. I would definitely be coming back!

We had an amazing time! The house was absolutely magnificent and Jose was available at all times to address our every need. We had a private chef coming to the house, massage therapists, cleaners, boat trips and more. Everything arranged by him to help us have a relaxing time. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing location and home. Clean, safe, with all the amenities you could ask for. Plenty of space - the rooftop with the hot tub was a hit with my group. Efren was easy to contact and extremely responsive at any time of day/night. Anything we needed, Efren was available to provide - through him we hired a driver, chef, and had COVID tests administered at home. Extremely convenient stay and we would love to come back and stay here again.

I do not have enough good things to say about our stay at Villa Antonella. It was truly one of the best trips of my life. The house is AMAZING, the pictures don't do it justice (believe it or not). Jose has made sure every detail is perfection - we also felt incredibly safe. We had an issue with the fridge not getting cold enough (for our beers lol) and Jose came and fixed it right away! He is truly one of the best air bnb hosts we've ever had! The pool and rooftop are amazing, I honestly wish we had more time to hang out at the house but we had planned so many activities. Jose also offered us transportation for wherever we needed to go - downtown and the beach are both so close by! If you're on the fence, BOOK IT! It was the best. Thank you Jose & your wife for everything!!

What an amazing home and great experience! Jose and his team made it happen for us! From the beginning the communication with Jose was consistent and he made everything clear on what to expect. He had options for a bartender, chef to cook meals, grocery list that could be picked up for us and at the house upon arrival or daily as needed and transportation. He also provided suggestions as needed for all questions I had. I gave him an idea of what I wanted on what day and he had everything ready to go, which made this a seamless, convenient and very relaxing trip! Let’s be clear his chef made us 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 2 dinners during our long weekend and the food was amazing! Everyone truly enjoyed having these meals ready for us and it all tasted so good! Like really good! We never had an issue with playing our music or talking and laughing outside. We had an outside vendor come to bring balloons for decor and they had to check in with the front security to even get into the area where the home was, along with a security guard right outside our door. Very safe and quiet area! The beach was a 10 min walk but a very fun path trailed the way to the beautiful water! We enjoyed a night out for dinner, drinks and hookah on the strip, a day party and breakfast with the locals and Jose and drivers were on it to transport my party of 12 every time. We never had to wait longer than 5 minutes and they made the rides to and from fun with music and convo. During our stay there was maid service and she cleaned the bathrooms, made beds and took our dirty towels. This home and overall hospitality is what made this trip less stressful than usual, especially coordinating activities and the coming in from a long day not wanting to cook or worry about being out to eat. We got the rest we needed and was able to truly make memorable moments to cherish forever. Thank you for a great stay Jose!!

This house was absolutely beautiful very modern it was close to a town and accessible to a lot of restaurants pharmacy stores it was a quick walk away the host was very communicated always respond to my messages even called me measure we had everything we needed there was no issues when it came to stock in the fridge raider Uber eats the security guy was just as friendly when I locked myself out they wrote a key right away Paul was amazing only thing is hot tub took a long time to heat up but other than that everything was fantastic

TRULY AMAZING!!!! Jose is the best host I have ever experienced!!! He arranged pretty much everything from transportation, dinner reservations & even balloon decor for my bachelorette! The house is so beautiful and in an amazing location and neighborhood!! We definitely will be back! Thank you so much Jose!!!

I had nothing bad to comment simply amazing and the best villa stay I’ve ever been to. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this villa for friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Antonella!  Jose was a fabulous host.  He provided all of our transportation during our stay, arranged groceries and Covid testing, and organized chef services and our daily housekeeping.  This is a fun house for a big group, and the rooftop area was our favorite!

Villa Antonella was amazing!! Spacious, all the rooms are very comfortable and nice! amenities were incredibly! Specially the Roof top with Hot tub and BBQ!, and even a gym to work out. The house is located only 3-5min walking from the beach and 8-10mins from 5th avenue were all the restaurants and cubs are located Jose and all the staff were amazing! and extremely helpful! we were a very big group and we did not have to do any work at all - their amazing staff did all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, bartending, and drove us around and any time of the day or night Thanks a lot for a lifetime experience! Muchas gracias por la atencion y por una experiencia inolvidable!

It's an excellent villa! World-class, with all the impeccable services, and Jose was always attentive to us, without any problem. Congratulations!

Es una excelente villa! De primer nivel, con todos los servicios impecables, y José siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros, sin ningún tipo de problema. Felicidades!

The house is great nice corner house beautiful rooftop view. Only issue was at the time the rooftop jacuzzi had cold water & the tv on the rooftop didn’t work or wasn’t programmed. Very spacious Jose communication is fast and immediate. Transportation a bit high we spent pretty much $7-800 on using his transportation get a rental. Chavez is a cool driver also. If you wanna party good luck with the music the neighbor will call the police on you and Jose said don’t play the music outside the house due to the neighbors. The ruins is cool next to the pool literally you can cross over the pool and be in the ruins cool in the day time creepy at night. Also his staff has keys to the house is it was weird waking up seeing a soda can on the counter. The property is gated and no one is allowed in there is also a security gate within that…but at night he leaves. House is beautiful each room has its own bathroom the wifi you have to switch to another WiFi login in the rooftop just some minor things. Overall it’s a great location just wish the pool downstairs had a fence or gate for privacy because the ruins behind the pool is like a mini jungle and open to public for people to see the ruins. Any issue Jose did try to resolve or accommodate us. 4 out of 5 star.

Lamentablemente tuvimos al huracan Grace dos dias antes de la llegada de Lewbo, que nos causo daños en en las instalaciones de la tv y del jacuzzy en el rooftop; se sugiere poner musica a no alto volumen fuera de la casa para no incomodar a los vecinos; las tarifas de transporte fueron acorde al tipo de servicio privado y a ciudades de mas de una hora en transito para llegar a ellas, esperar al husped y estar a su disposicion cuando lo requiriera, fueron varios servicios de transporte de este tipo; Se realiza servicio de limpieza diariamente y por tal motivo se tiene que entrar a casa pero se solicita permiso y hora al cliente para hacerlo, el personal de limpieza levanta latas de bebidas durante su trabajo; la seguridad es las 24 hr en toda la comunidad, es obvio que hacen recorridos por eso no se pueden ver algunas veces; la propiedad esta ubicada proxima a una zona con mucha vegetacion tropical que la hace muy atractiva y en contacto con la naturaleza; el rooftop al ser una area abierta es donde mas inconvenientes causo el meteoro Grace y se interrumpia algunas veces la señal de wifi; pero ya tomanos medidas  para seguir ofreciendo un servicio de excelencia como lo hemos hecho durante mucho tiempo y que los comentarios de todos nuestros huespedes nos respaldan, asi tambien seguiremos esforzandonos para hacerlo mejor aun

I cannot say enough great things about Jose and this impeccable home!! Five stars all around! The pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s amazing!! My favorite part was the outdoor showers. This space is perfect large groups and we felt safe the entire time! (Security monitors the home/area too) The house is huge, clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location was also great with nearby shops/restaurants and we were about 10min or so from the downtown area. Don’t hesitate to book this place — it’s worth it! As for Jose, he helped me organize this bachelorette trip for 9 women. Everything from airport transfers, the private chef, taking the entire group to get Covid tested, having a driver for us for the weekend — he did it ALL! Jose went above and beyond and I cant thank him enough! He was so kind, patient and funny! Truly, the best host. Thank you, Jose!!!

Look no further; this is the place you want as your home base for a perfect trip in Playa. The Villa is amazing in the pictures but even better in person. Rooms are spacious, each with their own full bath. The roof top bbq area and the pool area are some of the best I’ve experienced in Mexico, and to have them in the same house is a real luxury. Proximity to the centro cannot be beat, only a 15 min walk to everything you want to see and do. The 5 min walk to the beach on neighborhood’s jungle path was awesome. Jose and his wife are the perfect hosts: responsive, accommodating, professional, and friendly. Book now.

Beautiful place, it was very clean. Host was great and very helpful. Will be back

Jose and his wife were AMAZING hosts. They were both very attentive to our needs and flexible with many of our requests. We were a group of 10 staying at the Villa Antonella for 8 nights and we all felt that we had plenty of space to comfortably reside in the home for the duration of our trip. Each room has its own bathroom + either a dressing room area or wardrobe/closet. I want to personally give a kudos to Chef Geovany who prepared several delicious meals for our group! Also, Armando drove us to a few places outside of Playa Del Carmen and we are so thankful for his services! The airport pickup, welcome reception, and first night’s dinner all went smoothly! Book this place! You will not regret it.

This place is idealy situated just a short walk from the beach. It sits behind two gates both with 24/7 security and could not feel any safer. The house seems like it was built fairly recently, has good wifi and multiple pools. Our party loved hanging on the upper deck which had grills, a hot tub, both shade and sun and an outdoor TV.  Jose and his wife took incredible care of us

This AirBnB was amazing!! It looked even better than the pictures, was super clean and a great location. Jose was such an amazing host. He quickly responded to all my questions, drove us to wherever we needed to go, picked up groceries, booked masseuses, etc. These add-ons really enhanced our trip. I’ve stayed at many AirBnbs, and this is definitely one of the best I’ve stayed at and Jose was hands down the best host.

My stay at Antonella was absolutely beautiful. I decided to spend my 40th birthday here and did not regret it at all. The home is beautiful first off. Pictures can never do it justice. Two hot tubs, large pool, gym, bar, game-room, bathroom in each bedroom. I can go on and on. The roof deck space was like heaven and zen. There are Mayan ruins right behind the home. Please take a walk to them and watch in awe at history. The neighborhood is safe. There is security right at the entrance to playa car but also for the street the house is on and we are right next to that security guard. But above everything was the hospitality and genuine care that José and his wife and other caretakers exhibited. We decided to add chef and masseuse services. What a treat! The chef even made cauliflower rice since 3 of us were on Keto! Transportation was perfect for our group of 9. We went to Xplor and Tulum and the city which was really close. So overall, I would say if you want an amazing time and to live like royalty then book now! This stay was truly something special thanks to Jose and his team.

Perfect! Jose was an excellent host and we will return 100%.

An impeccable experience staying at Jose’s villa. With the concierge, bartender, gated community, two jacuzzi, and security outside our house. My group and I felt our stay in Mexico was very safe/ with a lot of perks and benefits at the villa . A few perks that was included/added on : - We were greeted with 1.5 to 2 hours of free drinks right when we arrived. - bicycles to roam the town ( if you decide to ) - a beach thats less than a 5 min walk - daily house cleaning ( your choice ) - a private chef that made a rememberable meal. - a security guard watching our house ( double security is always good) - the neighborhood had lots of resorts - two bartenders with great personalities

The house was absolutely stunning, beyond our expectations. Jose was the best host we have ever had. He took great care of us. He started by personally picking us up from the airport. The house was cleaned everyday and in amazing conditions. The pool was clean everyday. He got us a chef and gave us suggestions on activities they we could do. Jose and his wife were amazing from the beginning until the end.

Jose and his wife were amazing hosts. They were incredibly hospitable and assisted with every possible request we had including a chef, groceries, a bartender and massage therapists. All of it was top notch. The house itself was perfect for a girls getaway with plenty of space for all.

I do not usually write reviews but I absolutely have to give Jose and his wife the props they deserve!! Villa Antonella: The pictures on AirBnB do not do the place any justice! The home is beyond amazing with any and everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay! The place was spacious and fit 10 ppl easily for a girls trip. And the house had all the amenities one could possibly need with a pool, two jacuzzis, a game room, workout space, dinning, living room, loft area upstairs, and my fav every bedroom had their own bathroom which you know is necessary for a large group of women! Actually there is a tie for my fav, the roof top was also a favorite. Around 5/6pm the sun is no longer beaming and the breeze was perfect up there! It was the most relaxing area of the house! Location: The Villa was located near all the restaurants, 5th Ave downtown, the beach clubs, and bars. Nothing was more than a 15 min drive away from the house. I will say that the address given from AirBnB is confusing for everyone so ask Jose to send you the location of the house. Getting Around: We used a Taxi or asked Jose to drop us off. I’m sure walking was an option but it was so hot and us ladies were lazy lol Hospitality: Jose and his team were the absolute best! Jose picked the group up from the airport (CUN) and brought us to the Villa where Chef Giovanni was almost done making a traditional Mexican dinner! The dinner was delicious and the bartender Jose was pouring us up for 2 hrs. We loved it and felt like Queens! Also anything question I had or anything I needed Jose was right there ready to answer for me. He even went grocery shopping before we arrived so we had food in the house. Of course these were all at an additional cost but well worth it! Cons: Now I’m sure you are thinking dam girl everything couldn’t have been that perfect but honestly it was lol. The only minor issues we had were the AC was not working in 2 bedrooms the first night but the next day Jose and his team came in and fixed it all with a swiftness and there were a few dragonflies that got in the house but that’s because the doors were open. Even then Jose came and got the bugs out for me lol (I’m terrified of anything that flies) If you didn’t read the whole post all you need to really know is BOOK ASAP!!! Lol

Everything excellent ! We would definitely return

We were very satisfied with everything the host and his wife did for us. Both are very friendly and always willing to help when we have any questions or concerns. The place is super clean and conditioned. She was always available for any question or any place we needed to visit. He picked us up in his private van to the airport for a fee and welcome we had a bartender giving us complimentary drinks. We stayed as a family for a week and had a great time!! This house has everything a family could need. From the kitchen, bedrooms, laundry room, swimming pool. Everything!! We would definitely stay at this house in the future. Thank you for all your kindness! -Clary

Estuvimos muy satisfechos por todo lo que el host y su esposa hicieron por nosotros. Ambos muy amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudar cuando teniamos cualquier pregunta o inquietud. El lugar super limpio y acondicionado. Siempre estaba disponible a cualquier pregunta o cualquier lugar que necesitabamos visitar. Nos recogio en su van privada al aeropuerto por un fee y de bienvenida tuvimos un bartender dandonos tragos de cortesia. Nos quedamos en familia por una semana y la pasamos super bien!! Esta casa tiene todo lo que una familia pueda necesitar. Desde la cocina, habitaciones, laundry room, piscina. Todo!! Definitivamente nos quedariamos en esta casa en un futuro. Muchas gracias por todas sus atenciones!! -Clary

The place is big, comfortable and perfectly clean. The kitchen is well equipped, Jose Efren hired chef Giovanni for us during our stay and he did and amazing job! We stayed there for two weeks and Jose Efren and his wife Lilia were always there exceeding our expectations. They are both truly great people that made the difference during our stay and deserve to have the highest review and the house booked all the time!!!! Thank you both for everything!!!

I don’t even know where to begin....Jose and the house were beyond all expectations. I rented this house for my sisters bachelorette party of 8 girls. Leading up to the weekend, I was in constant contact with Jose making plans and asking questions. Things couldn’t have gone better.... First of all, him and his colleagues did pick ups from the airports (and drop offs). This made things extremely convenient for us. Upon arrival, we had fresh guacamole waiting for us made by his wife. He gave us a complete tour of the home. The house itself was breath taking. A pool and hot tub on the deck as well as a second pool on the roof. We slept 8 comfortably. Probably a few more could’ve fit. Prior to arrival, Jose has stocked our fridge based off the list we provided. This made things so easy for us. Every time we had scheduled for him to drive us, him or his colleague were early and made things so easy. Throughout the weekend, I was messaging Jose with various questions. He was so quick to respond. Our last night, we had a private chef come in. Jose had set everything up and organized it all. We didn’t have to lift a finger. We also had a complimentary bartender to happy hour on the roof prior to our meal. What could be better than sitting on the roof and drinking restaurant style margaritas? Finally, we felt MORE than safe. The house is in a gated community. Additionally, there was a 24/7 security guard. Never for one minute did I question my safety. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I would recommend this house to anyone for a bachelor or bachelorette party, couples retreat or even a family vacation. Had all the makings for a great get away.

Villa Antonella was an amazing home for our group of 12, which included 6 adults and 6 kids. The home was insanely beautiful and gave everyone the private space they needed as well as fantastic common spaces like the dining room, pool area and rooftop deck. As a host, Jose couldn't have been better-he offered additional services (at a fee, of course) for airport pickups, tours of local Cenotes (highly recommended) for a large group of 16 with a few of our friends and coordinating a local chef to come cook us two dinners and one breakfast. All of his "team" were friendly and professional. The home is about a 5-7 minute walk from the beach and 10-15 minutes into town, which were just fine for our group. You could also take a taxi into town for about $5 USD. Jose is a good man and a great communicator who is willing to help find you whatever you need to make your stay as good as it can be.

Amazing house, super clean, 5 min walk from a relaxing beach, beautiful setting, super accommodating host. Had an amazing stay here. The only thing we didn’t love was the touristy / Vegas-esque feel of the downtown area (about 15 min walk from house). But that’s mostly on us for not really reading up on the downtown area before coming. Would recommend doing research on places to eat or drink rather than simply wandering around town to find something.

The house is great! We hosted 2 events during our short vacation and everyone loved the house! It has a pool, 2 Jacuzzis, a bar and a poker table. Also there is a 3 car garage , and each room has it's own bathroom (plus 2 half bathrooms downstairs). Jose was always helpful and quick with his responses.

We had a great time at Villa Antonella. Nice quiet location, 100m walking to the beach👍. Great service and communication!  5+

Great hours and great service. Chef and driver were awesome.

We had a fantastic experience at this amazing home. Jose was super helpful in all aspects from giving local recommendations on where to get the best beach with no seaweed to where to get great local food and much more. He kindly setup a bartender to make us drinks the night we arrived and we re-hired him for another night that we setup a chef dinner thru Jose. It was very reasonable and fun to have while we enjoyed dinner together and he made us the most amazing mojitos. At one point my mother was not feeling good and he offered his son to come look at her as he is a doctor and he came over within hours to evaluate her and prescribed her medicine that we were able to quickly fill at a local pharmacy. There was nothing he would not attempt to help us with as long as we asked him. The cleaning lady was very punctual and she came to clean at a time we asked each day so we could have her clean while we were out doing activities etc. There was not a single time that anyone was at the home without us knowing. He has very attentive staff that would also come by early each morning to clean the pool and none of that ever bothered us. The house was breathtaking and full of so may quality features thru out. We are definitely coming back in the future and feel that we made a friendship in Jose at the same time. There is so much close by from shopping to bars and clubs for a fun night out. I recommend this home to any others traveling with family and/or kids as it is very safe and beautiful as the photos show. Plus the host will go out of his way to ensure you have a great stay. You will not regret it one bit.

This is one of the nicest houses in Playa del Carmen. Only 5 minute cab ride from downtown Playa del Carmen. Great place to vacation and chill out. But also great for having friends over for drinks. Definitely will stay here next time we're in Playa.

This is an overall beautiful home and great location. Very clean and fully stocked with awesome drinks, and all the amenities to go with it. One thing to look out for is making sure you’re accurate about the amount of people you’re booking for because the host will count each person. We had 2 people join us last minute and we paid afterwards with no problem. Airbnb made it super easy. Make sure payment is done via Airbnb and not cash like he asked. He will say “the owner” is pressuring him for payment or else he will get fired, we later confirmed by his wife and driver that he was the owner. He’ll also try to sell you on the idea that Airbnb will charge additional fees of $120, but that was false. I have yet to see any additional fees on my account. Finally, if you like your privacy, you might wanna skip out on this rental. Felt like every time we would get home or go outside, he had his workers watching. I’m all about feeling secure in a foreign country, but this was excessive. We even bumped into the owner aka “host” at really odd hours of the day. Really late and really early. One more thing, check out the ceiling fans in the living room, they have mics, pretty odd, why would you have audio in a home, either way that’s none of my business. If you decide to book, enjoy :)

Solo para aclarar algunos comentarios de Denice, el proceso de llegada no fue lento y tardado, ellos me pedían informes y solo respondí a ellos, ellos lo hicieron tardado pues eran 16 personas en lugar de 10 como originalmente reservaron, de los niños ninguno era menor de dos años como lo marca Airbnb para proceder a su pago extra por hospedaje sin embargo solo se le cobro por dos personas extra, por 12 en total en lugar de 16, y ellos hicieron tardía la recepción por que no sabian como acomodarse tantas personas,  el pago de las dos personas extras que se le hizo en lugar de 6 lo hicieron hasta el ultimo día de su estancia; y lo que ella dice de los micrófonos en las habitaciones junto a los ventiladores son en realidad detectores de humo; nuestro equipo de mantenimiento no entra a la casa,  solo da mantenimiento a la alberca y trabaja en el jardín, y el personal de limpieza dentro de la casa solo se hace cuando se le pide acceso a los huéspedes, en realidad lo que menos deseamos es molestarlos, contamos con seguridad extra afuera de la casa para que nadie los moleste, y un servidor solo soy el anfitrión no el dueño de la propiedad; es triste ver este tipo de comentarios de esta huésped originados por la situación del cobro extra que no le agrado pues si checan todos los comentarios de los huéspedes que hemos tenido han sido altamente positivos con nuestra atención pues sino fuese así, no nos habrían otorgado la categoría de SUPERHOST, sin embargo seguiremos esforzándonos para mejorar nuestra atención, saludos cordiales

A beautiful place to enjoy your vacation, the location is perfect in case you move by car or walk everything is close, the house is beautiful and the service is first-class. Highly recommended.

Un hermoso lugar para disfrutar sus vacaciones, la ubicación esta perfecta por si te mueves en coche o caminas todo esta cerca, la casa esta hermosa y la atención es de primera. Muy recomendable.

Perfect getaway!! House was spacious, clean and well managed. Location was very safe in a gated community, very close to the beach and la Quinta Avenida. Jose and his staff were super friendly, responsive and helpful from start to finish. Would highly recommend for a large group looking to kick back and relax, or enjoy the festivities that Playa Del Carmen has to offer. Already looking forward to next time!!!

José Efrén's accommodation is highly recommended, the attention he has for his guests is spectacular, we were very grateful and happy.

Ampliamente recomendable el alojamiento de José Efrén, las atenciones que tiene para sus huéspedes son espectacular, quedamos muy agradecidos y contentos.
