We had an amazing stay and would definitely come back! We were traveling with a large family group and rented 10 apartments in the complex—without a doubt, ours had the best location. The apartment was beautiful, spacious, spotless, and incredibly well equipped. Traveling with young kids was so easy thanks to the crib, high chair, toys, and fully stocked kitchen. The private pool was sparkling clean and serviced daily. When a couple of the AC remotes needed new batteries, Katherine responded immediately, and her property manager fixed everything the next morning while also explaining how the lights and fans worked. The complex is beautiful, perfect for families, with great restaurants and excellent service. The location is great, although I do recommend renting a car to explore the area. Thank you, Katherine—we loved our stay and hope to return to this exact apartment!

We loved our stay! The complex has an amazing pool, private beach, and two great restaurants. We were able to enjoy all the amenities and take trips into town to explore local restaurants and excursions. Everyone was really friendly. The apartment served our family of four really well. Our kids enjoyed the sand toys and games that were available to use. Thanks for the great stay!

Katherine’s place is beautiful, clean and spacious. There are clear instructions for the stove, trash, etc. She had toys, games, tennis racquets., beach towels. She’s thought of everything you would need. We love our stay here and will definitely be back.

Katherine’s condo was very clean, and spacious! It was perfect for our group of seven. Both the condo and the grounds are really peaceful, in a gated and safe community. Katherine and Andres were very responsive to my questions. Great condo in Playa del Carmen!

We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious Katherine's condo was. The laundry room actually has a single bed and bathroom, so there's a total of 4 separate bedrooms that each have their own bathroom. The condo was in great condition and very clean, which is often not the case with beach rentals. The property felt very safe and was well maintained, and there's a great open air restaurant by the pool that we ate at several times. Katherine was also very responsive whenever we had questions. I'd highly recommend renting a car because the property is about a 10 minute drive to downtown Playa del Carmen, so you'll want the convenience of being able to drive. Also, if you see comments about sargassum, we found that if there's days where it is bad at the beach at Mareazul, it will be the same way at any of the beaches in the area. They do a great job working to keep the beach clean, but there may be times where you can't avoid it regardless of where you stay in Playa del Carmen.
