Beautiful location and weather! Recommend you come before August due to seaweed. Lots to do: Isla Mujeres, Isla Holbox, and Cousumel!! The 5th street strip has great restaurants and lots to see.. The house has a nice pool and jacuzzi.. with ocean view!

OK, 2 weeks ago

The stay was pleasant, except for the sargassum that prevented us from enjoying the beach, which is what we value. One drawback was not being able to do the laundry because the dryer was broken, and they didn't fix it in 7 days. We are frequent visitors to Playacar and we will definitely return. I always look for houses managed by Mercedes because of the service provided by both her and her team.

The backyard is truly the highlight of the home, the pool is wonderful, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. The house itself matches the photos: spacious, comfortable, and overall pleasant, though it is beginning to show some signs of aging. One disappointing aspect was the checkout experience. Since we were only two adults and used just one room, we requested a late checkout, but it was not accommodated. Checkout was strictly enforced at 10:00 a.m., and they rang the bell right at 10:00. Even if the next guests arrived promptly at 3:00 p.m., there would have been more than enough time to clean the space had we stayed until noon. Considering the high cost of the stay, it felt inflexible, especially since we then had to spend the day in town with our suitcases until our hotel check‑in time (the home wasn’t available for our final night in Mexico).

Host Response

Thank you very much for the review. Usually, when we don't have check-in on the property, guests are allowed to stay without charge until 12 PM. Unfortunately, in this case, it wasn't possible. The listing states that the checkout time is 10 AM, and at no point before making the reservation was I asked if a later checkout was possible. We always try to be flexible whenever we can.

We had a great time. House was very safe, security presence was excellent. Host was very responsive and helpful. Pool was well kept. Beach had a lot of seaweed, but that’s everywhere now. They manage it. Walk was a little more than expected to get to shops, restaurants, and bars but taxis were easy. It is walkable, but it’s just a long-ish walk and hot. Could walk to the Cozumel ferry, which was nice. Had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful week in Playacar, and Mercedes's rental deserves a lot of credit for that. The interior was much more spacious than it looks in the pictures, and the patio and pool space was terrific (it was especially useful given the Sargassum situation in July). The space was clean and very family friendly, with Mercedes making a crib and high-chair available for our young son. I highly recommend this listing for families or groups of friends looking to stay in the Playa del Carmen area.
