2BR Condo in Playa del Carmen

Julie

Excellent, 8 months ago

My family loved staying here. The location was perfect as it was quiet at the condo but easy to get to the excitement of 5th Ave. Our favorite part was the view. Highly recommend!

Host Response

Muchas gracias Julie! Fue un placer atenderlos Si la vista es espectacular con esos bellos amaneceres

5 stars all around — the host saved our vacation, literally! Our lodging fell through at 8p the night we arrived after a long day of travel. I needed to book something else quickly and was able to reserve this AirBnB. The host was super responsive, allowing us to check-in within 30 minutes of requesting the reservation. Even though they weren’t expecting us, place was spotless with every amenity we could need. Location was killer, beds comfortable, and the view breathtaking. Will absolutely be booking again next time we’re in town!

THANK YOU KARIN

Excellent location, a few blocks from 5th Avenue, a few blocks from the Ferry, highly recommended. Thank you for having us

This condo is right on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean and the beautifully landscaped property. It is centrally located in Playa Del Carmen with many great restaurants and shopping within short walking distance. It is also within short walking distance to the Cozumel ferry. The condo has two bedrooms which is ideal for families with children. Everything in the condo was very clean with great amenities including a full kitchen and great WIFI. The pool is a very short distance from the condo and the beach is right next to the pool. There is a pool side bar with drinks and snacks which very convenient. The property is quiet and private with great security. The condo is a terrific value and I highly recommend it.

It has an excellent location, the facilities are in very good condition and very comfortable, a very quiet atmosphere is very familiar with the quiet beach. We would definitely come back. Ernesto was very friendly and attentive at all times, there was really no need to contact him frequently since we had no problems. Excellent place.

My two daughters and I very much enjoyed staying at Ernesto’s Airbnb. It’s in a great location right on the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to Fifth Avenue with all its restaurants and shops. The apartment was very clean, uncluttered, and well air-conditioned with good cooking facilities and comfortable mattresses in the bedrooms. It’s on the ground floor but has a great view of the sea in the back with a nice balcony where you can sit and relax. Ernesto was very friendly and responsive and always got back to me quickly if I had any questions. I would highly recommend his Airbnb and would definitely come back.

Peter, Tks for your comments,

AMAZING!! We loved this condo & location! Our host was very responsive and the location was impeccable! We travel from Alaska with our 3 young children. We loved the pool, beach, how walkable busy 5th Ave was & how easy the condo was to find. Ernesto was very easy to contact (questions about when maid service would be, we have a toddler that naps) We met some really great people at the swim up bar. People that have been coming to this same location for over 20 years! This place is a gem. I highly recommend this condo and location to families, as well as couples just trying to enjoy a quite vacation. The price was amazing and we hope to visit again soon. Thank you for having us! 5+++++ stars !

We had a great stay here for a week. It’s a convenient location and a basic comfortable apartment. Access to the pools and the small beach area in front is great. Easy walk to shops, restaurants and ferry.

Our stay here was wonderful! The pool was amazing and the view out the balcony each morning was beautiful! The location is great, we felt very safe inside the development as it is in a gated community. Right outside the gate are tons of restaurants and shops and the famous 5th Ave. Having our own parking spot right in front was great as we used our car for some day trips. Beds were comfortable, we appreciated the ample supply of towels and toiletries. Drinking water was provided which was a big plus!

Great place! On the beach, great pool Access. Could use hanging racks for drying because there is only a washer, no dryer. Plenty of bottled water, dishes, you may want salt and pepper or like plastic wrap or tin foil. Cleaner did a great job mid week. This location is easy walking to all the shopping you can imagine. Easy walk to the Cozumel Ferry also.

Our stay at Ernesto’s place was great! The condo is just as described and is in a perfect location. The place has everything you need. It’s a perfect size for 2 couples but can probably accommodate 6 people. You can easily walk to restaurants and the ferry to Cozumel. We especially loved the ocean breeze which kept us cool without the need of the AC however, we visited during the month of February. We will definitely miss the amazing ocean view while drinking our coffee. I would love to stay here again!

This condo is floor level and has a view overlooking the pool and the ocean. The patio is a perfect place for morning coffee! The place is clean and has all the basic amenities. A short 5-10 minute walk to 5th Avenue and all the shops and restaurants. The only two cons were checking in after hours it was hard to figure out which building the unit is in, and the shower doors have a gap at the bottom so the bathroom floors get very wet when you shower. But overall, an excellent stay! 10/10 would return. Ernesto was great.

my family and I have been to Playa del Carmen several times over the past years. we knew exactly the area that we were going to and were very happy to find Ernesto's condo available. it was our first time staying here at Xaman Ha Condominiums but we will absolutely be back. fantastic location , beautiful condo, incredible view of the ocean, we have not one complaint. everything was wonderful. thanks Ernesto. we will be back.

This condo is a great value, located very close to 5th ave just a short walk to all the great tourist to enjoy on 5th. The grounds of the property are beautifully kept and located directly on the beach. The condo itself is as described in the listing, it could definitely use some updating and maintenance and is not very open or spacious. We spent a week here and were happy with the place overall. I'd consider staying here again due to the location more than the condo itself. The sunrises are beautiful and viewable from patio beyond the sliding door or just a short walk down to the beach. Check-in was easy and the area was quiet yet just steps away from all that 5th ave has to offer.

This was such a relaxing, beautiful, private yet friendly location. The pool and beach are just steps away. People who stay here are friendly and respectful. Robin the bartender makes it a memorable time as he interacts with guests so well. The condo had everything we needed and the sunrise from the patio was stunning. Thank you Ernesto!

Ernesto's place was great! The patio and view was to die for! The kids (ages 3 & 6) loved the pool! It has a very unique shallow area that connects to the deeper area that was perfect for kids! If you want to be close to Playa del Carmen this place is in the perfect location! Our only complaint is that the bedrooms could have better curtains or blinds. There are bright lights outside the bedrooms windows that stay on all night. But that wouldn't be enough to deter us from staying there. The pros of this place far outweigh the cons.

Folks who travel to Xamanha often for short getaways rely on dependable washer/dryers. We pack only carry ons, and a few bathing suits we need to dry. I do not believe that this dryer, based on the deteriorated condition of the tape holding the door shut was a sudden event with a pending fix. Dryer broken for the entire stay. Nor do I believe the HVAC in the MBR just failed. Had I known this beforehand you couldn’t have paid me to stay in 7011. 7010 and 7009 had major renovations going on with grinders running 9 hours per day. Would have expected owner to have disclosed all this in advance. My first Airbnb experience was a major disappointment; not sure if I can trust it again. The place sleeps 6 if you have two short children who can camp out on cross bar Futons. Checkin great. Comms great. Location is great. Place is very dated but if you keep all doors open the mini spit AC units that are operable will get the MBR under 80F. I have stayed in many Xamanha condos… this is as bad as it gets.

Joe muchas gracias por tus comentarios, nos sirve mucho para mejorar y tener huéspedes más contentos en su estadía. Septiembre y octubre son los meses para poder renovar todo lo que en el departamento se necesita arreglar. Fue una pena que coincidiera que el aire acondicionado sufriera una descompostura y que la pieza de la se adora no hubiera llegado a tiempo para estuviera a tu servicio. Esperamos que los próximos huéspedes ya puedan comprobar que todo esto está arreglado y funcionando para ellos a la perfección. Te ofrezco una disculpa por estos inconvenientes y ojalá nos de las oportunidad de atenderte nuevamente para que quedes totalmente satisfecho. Los muebles se acaban también de retapizar para que el Departamento luzca moderno.

This location is really right on the water. It has an amazing view. The two rooms provide some quiet and cool place to sleep. The location to the convenience stores, Starbucks, local coffee, Krispy Kreme is 2-4 blocks. Anything further like a grocery store(Walmart or MEGA) will require a taxi. Taxis are a block away. But be prepared to be in a very small car most of the time. The swim up bar is open 10-5. Robin the bartender will joke with you about not wanting to make anything. Just know that’s his personality. Some Americans might think he’s serious (sometimes he is) but he’s mostly having fun. He’s been there 12 years. The basura (garbage) is hidden in the maintenance building for those that have difficulty locating it. Climate Change has resulted in 6 years of seaweed accumulation on the beach. According to locals. It lasts about 5-6 months per year on all east facing beaches. Local wildlife is plentiful (agouti, Coati, lizards, birds). There are Mayan ruins across the parking lot as well as near the Cozumel ferry which is about 300m from the complex. Compared to large resorts it’s more affordable and more relaxing.

I’m very selective, I spend hours researching and reading reviews before booking a location. I’m particular about cancellation policies and cleanliness. Then after hours of research, I finally make a decision and instantly wonder if I’ve chosen poorly. I did not choose poorly with this selection. This condo is exactly as advertised. It is very clean and the location is absolutely amazing! Everything can be accessed with a quick walk, but it’s also quiet. The beach was not overrun with people at all. The pools are clean and the pool area well maintained. The pool bartender was friendly and happy hour can’t be beat. $12 USD for 4 piña coladas; yes please. We did not know bottled water would be provided, but to our pleasure a water cooler with several refills was present. We were a group of 3 and were very comfortable in the condo. Plenty of towels and space. The communication with the owner was easy and sufficient. He responded to questions quickly both during and before our stay. For US travelers who are used to a house manual, one was not included here, but that is not unusual outside the US at Airbnbs.

This condo at Xaman Ha was exactly as pictured. incredible view and lovely walk through a sparkling clean pool to a turquoise ocean and beach! The bar and staff were lovely and so friendly! With a short taxi ride, you can stock up to prepare meals for a quiet, intimate stay, or there are so many delicious resturants and fun within walking distance to all the ation at the pier! I will definitely be back! -Linda

Best value in PDC!! Quiet, beautiful, clean beach, staff is so friendly and fun, massage and facial on site, and ground level condo is so convenient. Amazing sunrise and sunset views from patio. Hardly anyone there so we always had beachfront loungers and lots of pool time. So many amazing restaurants within a few blocks. Ernesto is so friendly and responsive! Interior is dated, but comfortable and for the value it’s PERFECT! 10 stars out of five!

Beautiful

It is very well located a few blocks from the 5th avenue, there are restaurants, oxxos, supermarkets very close to the place. If you go with kids it's great place because the beach is a few steps from the apartment and the pool too, you don't need to wash car since you have everything nearby. The apartment is very clean, very comfortable, there is a lot of security in the place. I highly recommend it and if you are traveling with young children it is Perfect place to vacation.

Ernesto was responsive and easy to work with. The condo is in a good location with a nice view of the ocean. The pool was great for the kids. The snack bar/bar at the pool was a nice plus for the whole family. We'd stay here again over a resort. It's nice having to walk into town for food and coffee, etc. Great shower pressure in the master. Can't beat being right on the beach. Thanks Ernesto!
