6BR villa in Playa del Carmen

Villa Tambuuco-Classic 6BR-Pool,Rooftop & Bicycles - Villas for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

If I could give this listing more than 5 stars I would. This villa is situated in a beautiful neighborhood in Playa del Carmen and is only steps to the beach. Our check in and check out went so smoothly; Marc was extremely responsive when I had questions before checking in. The villa was even more beautiful in person than I anticipated and all of us have been raving about how much we loved staying here since our return back home. The house comes equipped with bikes, swim gear, an incredible pool and the most excellent customer service. While we were there Louisa helped us feel right at home, providing great communication throughout the entire weekend, it was so lovely. We so enjoyed Lupe as well and her help throughout the weekend with laundry, cooking breakfast, and helping us maintain the house. We had more than enough space for our group of 10 and will be recommending this place to anyone and everyone we know. Looking forward to the possibility of getting to visit again soon!

One of the nicest places I've stayed at. Home was beautiful and had the best vibes. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Very responsive and helpful. 10 out 10!

Our family had an absolutely amazing stay at this villa! The property was incredibly spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The villa itself exceeded our expectations, and the pool was truly amazing—perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. What made our experience even more special was the exceptional staff. They went above and beyond to help us throughout our trip, from connecting us with reliable drivers to recommending beaches with little to no sargassum and suggesting fantastic restaurants. Their guidance and hospitality made everything so easy and stress-free. This was one of the most memorable family vacations we’ve ever had, and we are so grateful for the wonderful experience. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay with outstanding service. We would absolutely love to return!

Our group of 10 had an incredible stay at Villa Tambuuco! The house has so much charming character, plenty of space to have some privacy or spend time together, and lots of amenities to keep you busy. Our group especially loved the pool, the rooftop, and bikes that make it easy to get to the beach. The hosts were so accommodating and even went above and beyond to drive us to the grocery store when we were having issues with grocery delivery. The housekeeper, Lupe, also looked after us very well and made us delicious breakfasts in the morning. Overall, we loved our time at Villa Tambuuco and our only regret was that we didn't stay for longer :)

100/10! Everything was made so easy, the neighborhood was so cute and walkable. The staff was so kind, helpful and welcoming. Would come back to Playa just to stay here again :)

This was the last stop on a 3 city tour of the Yucatan and it did not disappoint! This enormous house was so beautifully decorated, situated a block from the beach. They have everything you could need; bikes, beach chairs, water shoes, toys for the kids, umbrellas, games, a pool, darts, TV, ping pong and it goes on and on. There were 5 families with children and everyone felt comfortable, had big rooms with comfortable beds and hammocks to relax in. Our host was kind, responsive and gave great recommendations . Highly recommend you stay here if you find yourself in playa del Carmen. Hope to visit again one day!

A truly special Airbnb. Fantastic home, great rooms with special features. Lupe made amazing breakfasts every morning. No doubt one of our favorite spots.

Large and roomy home with character and traditional Mexican style. Lots of beach gear provided. Very short walk to the beach so you can go back and forth frequently. Close to resorts like Reef Resort if you want to purchase a day pass at an all-inclusive resort.

had the best time at marc’s place! we had 12 girls and plenty of space. every room had their own bathroom, which was so convenient with a large group of girls. lupe was wonderful and cooked us eggs every morning. laurice was so responsive and helpful, as was marc. the house was amazing and in a very private community. the beach is so close and easily walkable. we used the beach chairs and packed the cooler every day!!!

Marc was a great communicator, responding quickly to all questions and requests.  The house is beautiful, clean and well appointed.  Laurice greeted us with a complete orientation to the house and lots of helpful tips for the neighborhood restaurants.  Her recommendation for a masseuse was perfect.   Chef Stephane, also recommended by Laurice, prepared a fantastic New Year’s Eve Dinner.  Lupe, the housekeeper is wonderful, She made delicious breakfasts for us each day and kept  the house clean.  This was a great  house for our family of 17 to gather .

One of our best Airbnb experiences ever, and a highlight of our vacation. - The house is exceptional. It looks amazing in the photos, but it's even better in person. So spacious and lovingly decorated with beautiful textiles, antiques, books, and art. Our group of 11 had plenty of space for family and solo time. - Great location. The beach is just steps away down a quiet street. I didn't even bother putting on shoes to go back and forth. You're also walking distance from downtown Playa del Carmen with shops and restaurants. - The house is stocked with everything you need for a fun vacation -- beach chairs, water shoes and snorkels, bikes, tennis racquets to use at the neighborhood courts, and even sunblock. - Lupe (the housekeeper) making breakfast every morning was amazing. - Finally, I can't say enough for Laurice, our contact for the house. She went above and beyond, even helping us with a medical issue and giving my nephew a French lesson! Thank you, Villa Tambuuco!

We had a wonderful time at Villa Tambuuco for a Thanksgiving holiday with 3 generations and 13 people ages 9-75. It was a wonderful place to land and feel like home together for a week instead of doing the resort thing. The neighborhood is a gated community that feels very safe and peaceful with access to a small and quiet beach right nearby. The nearest touristy mall area is about a 20 minute walk through the neighborhood or you can take bikes or taxis quite easily. Major highlight was Lupe, who made delicious breakfasts for us most mornings and cleaned up, which majorly simplified the chaos of 13 people trying to get in and out of the kitchen. She was a delightful, gracious, and generous presence each day. Also Stephane of Tasty Nomads was so helpful and patient with coordinating activities and setting up our private dinner at the house. We were wowed beyond expectation by the meal they prepared. Totally worth it, delicious and so kind! Feeling very grateful!

Loved Villa Tambuuco! The property was beautiful along with the neighborhood it was in. The owner Laurice was there to great us when we arrived and showed us the property. She was very responsive and would check in with us during our stay. We were there for my wedding, it was perfect for myself and my guests

Villa Tambucco was absolutely incredible!! The property is definitely located off the beaten path, but felt very safe and secure. From beginning to end, Marc and Laurice were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and assisted us with finding local restaurants as well as connecting us with transpiration and catering options for a catered dinner. Lupe was fantastic, and was present on property daily to make breakfast and clean. All of the staff and amenities were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and can't wait to return in the future!

My family and I stayed at Marc’s house to celebrate my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party. Marc helped me with EVERYTHING — securing cribs for my nieces, recommending chefs and local activities, preparing the house and pool for our visit, receiving the first guests who arrived to show them the house, answering my non-stop questions, and much more. The house itself is gorgeous — large enough for a big family gathering with lots of common areas, a fantastic pool area, and just steps from the beach. The house also comes staffed with Lupe, who can help make breakfast for your group and keeps things clean and organized each day. She was lovely. We had a great time and have so many great memories from the weekend. We would definitely recommend it and would come back!

The place is super spacious and beautiful, just like in the photos. The kitchen is fully equipped, each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the common areas are great for big groups. The neighborhood is lovely, safe, and very central. My family and I loved staying at this house. The only bad thing was the sargassum. It’s really intense this time of year, and it makes it almost impossible to enjoy the beach. But it’s a general problem across the entire Riviera Maya, not just this area.

Our stay at Villa Tambucco was amazing! Marc and his team were super helpful, proactive with their communication, had great recommendations, and were great to work with. A special shout out to Lupe the house manager, who cooked delicious breakfast each day and made sure our family had everything we needed.

We loved staying here for our friends bachelorette! We felt very safe and the host was incredibly responsive and ensured we had an easy time checking in. Would recommend this for any family or large group! 2 m walk to a gorgeous beach (just make sure to check the forecast for the sargassum). And breakfast was great! So handy to have Lupe tidying and making breakfast, she was very nice. Lastly, I would absolutely recommend Tasty Nomads for the private dinner. It was so worth it and the best dinner we had in the area and perhaps ever!

This villa was absolutely beautiful! We loved the traditional aesthetic throughout the house and enjoyed all the amenities! Perfect place for a large group. Marc's team was exceptional - super helpful, responsive, and respectful. We would definitely recommend!

Marc was so accommodating and flexible with check in. Super friendly host and the space was beautiful. 8 people fit very comfortably. It gets warm in the hotter months but bedrooms have excellent AC. The area was amazing. Quiet and right near the water. Within less than 10 mins walk you’re on 5th Ave near all the lively attractions. The staff, Laurice and Guadalupe, were also wonderful. Would stay here again without a doubt!!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Tambuuco! The house was perfect for our large multi-generational group - all six bedrooms are incredibly spacious, each with its own en-suite bathroom, which made it easy for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own space. The design and decor throughout the villa are beautiful, with thoughtful touches that made it feel both stylish and comfortable. A huge thank you to Laurice for being so helpful throughout our stay and to Lupe for the wonderful daily housekeeping - it made a big difference. Abraham was also incredibly kind and kept everything in great shape for us. The pool is on the smaller side, but it was just right for the kids in our group, who spent hours splashing around and having fun. We also really appreciated having bikes on hand for quick rides into town. All in all, a wonderful stay in Playa del Carmen. We’d happily return!

My friends and I stayed here for my bachelorette trip and we couldn’t have been anymore pleased. The place is absolutely beautiful. Marc was extremely responsive to my questions prior to my arrival. Laurice, the property manager, was just as friendly and responsive whenever it was time to check in. The neighborhood is peaceful and we felt safe the entire time. I hope to stay here again. 10/10 recommend staying here if you are wishing to visit Playa del Carmen.

Thanks to Marc and his team, our vacation was a complete success. The house is spacious and beautiful. Laurice, Stephan, and Lupe run the house like a resort, you always feel taken care of. Beach is just a 5 minute walk and 5th Ave. is a bike ride away or a quick taxi ride. Would definitely stay at Casa Tambuuco again. Oh, and if you’re looking to hire a chef to cook for you, make sure you go with Nomads, great service and delicious food.

Villa tambucco is a true treasure. We went with 12 friends for a high school best friend’s bachelorette. The staff was beyond responsive and easy to coordinate with. They are soo organized! From helping us book shuttle service from airport to the house, to setting up a bartending service and chef dinner. Lupe came every day and cleaned / did laundry, she is the best. Laurice was always a text away if you needed anything. Stephane was soo patient with us and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at the house. They even let us organize a beach bartender for a couple of hours. Not to mention one minute walk to the beach. I can’t even understate how gorgeous this house is!! The rooms were so unique and spacious. The bathrooms were also huge and clean. It was luxury! The roof is gorgeous and overlooks the beach. It truly was a fairytale stay. We will be back!! Thank you Marc and the enter team for having us!

Marc’s home is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed at. As we arrived we were greeted by a beautiful gated community with security that made us feel very safe. When we arrived at the house, Laurice greeted us and was extremely friendly, while also giving us a bottle of tequila which was lovely. The home itself was absolutely magnificent, the location was amazing, and the communication with the host was amazing. We had a small maintenance issue and Laurice instantly sent someone out in minutes to get it fixed. The house came everything you could ask for, with 6 bikes, tennis rackets, table tennis table, beautiful pool. The rooms were very spacious and came with en suites. The house came with a maid who made a delicious Mexican breakfast as well who washed our clothes each morning. If you are a big group of people and want somewhere to stay in playa del carmen, this is your home !

We had an amazing stay at Villa Tambuuco! We stayed at the villa with a large group of friends to celebrate my birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The staff was so amazing and responsive, both leading up to the trip and in attending to all of our needs during our stay. Thank you!!! The pictures of the villa in the listing do not do it justice — it is so spacious and charming with incredible views of the ocean. It’s 2 blocks from the beach, and they provide everything needed to enjoy a day at the beach (chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc.). You do need to taxi for the most part to get around Playa, which we expected, but it was so worth it for the amazing location and peaceful atmosphere around the villa. During our stay, we booked at private dinner through Tasty Nomads, which was such a highlight and SO worth it. I also booked a private massage at the villa. The service and amenities all around were amazing, we really cannot recommend staying here enough!

Really great place to stay! Everything was as described, super clean, cozy and close to the beach. There was lots of room for everyone and each room had its own unique touches. Was also located in a private, secure area. Would stay again!

Great place and stay.  Our group was 15 extended family members, 12 adults and three children.  There was plenty of room for all.  Spacious bedroom rooms, extremely large living area and enough outdoor space by pool.  Daily housecleaning a real plus.

Marc’s listing was amazing and Marc and team were awesome.  Great communication and very accommodating.  House was exactly what our large group of 20 needed.  Plenty of rooms, restrooms, amenities and space to satisfy any vacation get away.  Being super close to the beach and being the tallest building in the area was a gave great views and even better photo opportunities :).  I would recommend.

An amazing location within walking distance from the beach and private secure location. We felt very safe and the amenities and service here is what really makes this place standout

We had a magical stay at Villa Tambuuco! The whole experience was fantastic! everyone we worked with from booking to an item we left after our depart was so kind, capable, helpful and trustworthy. We were a multi-generational group of 8 adults and 8 kids: from 12-81 years of age. We were greeted at the home by Laurice, the rental manager who was incredibly intelligent, warm and helpful. She gave us a tour of the property, important phone numbers and recommendations for her favorite grocer! We reached out to her a few times and she was always responsive and delightful! The house staff, Lupe, was a godsend- a great cook, and so patient and helpful with all of our questions. The house was always "magically" clean and ready for us to enjoy! The Security gate of the property provided us not only security but they called taxis, tour drivers for us and each person they sent was awesome- especially Victor! The beach is a 4 minute, beautiful walk and was spectacular: we loved every minute!

Place had plenty of rooms for our large group. Lupe was great, she will make breakfast, clean the rooms and can do laundry. The house was rustic, kept clean. Two fridges, plenty of of rooms to store food. Overall our stay was good. We would return to the same place in the future.

We had a great time at Villa Tambuuco.  The house is exactly as pictured - beautiful design and architecture and each bedroom has it's own unique charm. A beautiful beach is just meters away and town is a short walk. The shared space on the mainfloor is a great size for a big group and the kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning soon!

The location was great with an easy 2-block walk to a great beach.  Very good location for families with young children.  Easy access to downtown Playa del Carmen amenities.

Beautiful large home in lovely neighborhood.  Plenty of room for 11 friends to spread out.  Lupe made us wonderful breakfast daily.  They facilitated in home massages and private chef.  Both were fantastic.  We can’t wait to return!

We booked Villa Tambuuco to bring our five kids, two daughters-in-law, and three grandkids under one roof for our wedding weekend. I (John) am writing this review because my wife (Molly) can not talk about Villa Tambuuco without crying over the joyful weekend we experienced! Marc ensured all our questions were answered long before we arrived. Marc led us through the check-in process and was a quick text away at any moment. We loved every aspect of the home. Every room has a unique personality, so each adult and child felt special as they lived in their private ensuite! Marc provided recommendations and information to alleviate any concerns we might have. His best recommendation was Tasty Nomads, private chefs who provided all our meals. From the welcome dinner to our post-wedding celebration to our final breakfast, Stephane, Gian, and their excellent team elevated a tremendous stay to another level! Our entire family gives Villa Tambuuco an overwhelming 5-star recommendation!

Excellent place, very friendly. 100% recommended.

Excelente lugar, muy amables. 100% recomendado.

We had an amazing experience! The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided anything we can think of. The location of the villa is also magnificent, a beautiful home with amazing views in every room. Inches away from the beach and an easy walk to town. If you’re looking for a five star experience in the center of a holiday beach town, this is the place to stay!  We will be back!

The house was amazing and perfect for our needs. We came to town to go deep-sea fishing. Unfortunately, a tropical storm closed the ports the entire time we were there. However Village Tambuuco became the highlight of our stay, and it did not disappoint!

The house is great one short walk from the beach. Close to the ferry Air conditioning in all rooms. Great Alberca. They have bikes to use Everything is perfect Tasty Nomads (Stephan) spectacular chef. The food and first-class service. Amelia and Abraham are pending. Nothing is missing in the house Thank you

La casa está excelente a una cuadra de la playa. Cerca del ferry Aire acondicionado en todas las habitaciones. Alberca genial. Tienen bicicletas para usar Todo perfecto Tasty Nomads (Stephan) chef espectacular. La comida y el servicio de primera. Amelia y Abraham están pendientes. De que nada falte en la casa Gracias

beautiful home! I will definitely be coming back! everyone in the team was amazing

Everything was wonderful about this place. Host was very responsive and courteous. Location and house were beautiful. Maid was amazing and super friendly. Host also helped us organize a private chef. Would recommend for your stay in Playa del Carmen!!

Marc's place was great, we  had a good time. Lupita was great,  she is the best making breakfast  and taking care of the house. Nice location, the only thing is that for elderly people it's  hard to get to the second  and third floor because  of the stairs. There is a room in the first floor outside in case that you go with seniors. overall the place it's  great, clean, big,and the service  is excellent.

Great house and great service. Would definitely come back

We had a great experience at Villa Tambuuco. Me and my family traveled from three different countries to meet there and were a group of 13 people including my 6 months old baby and 3 kids. The house is amazing , lots of space, beautiful surroundings… Guadalupe was there the whole time and helped us with breakfast and  cleaning. Because we traveled with kids I prioritized that the place had a washer and dryer but they didn’t let us use it by ourselves and even though we got our laundry perfectly done it was a bit restricted. They also have an awful host; she was texting me with lots of concerns and even sent me some wrong messages for another person; even though they know we were with kids she asked me to pick up the ornaments so they don’t touch them and at the end she made a really big deal about a ashtray that broke.

Marc, Laurice, Lupe, Stefane, and the whole team who helped run Villa Tambuco gave my group and me an incredible experience that far exceeded our high expectations going into this trip and making a reservation. Communication was proactive, always timely, and responsive to help us with our lodging, coordinate logistics with pickup from the airport in Cancun, and plan excursions and activities in the local area. Staying at Villa Tambuco or any of Marc's properties will blow you away from the level of kindness, sincerity, and accommodation they provide. The home is lovely and much bigger than the photos give you an impression of. Everything was spotless and clean when we arrived, and the home was cleaned daily. This is exponentially better than any Airbnb experience I've had, and I would take this 10/10 over another listing, hotel, or all-inclusive resort experience.

Our family of 10 (3 generations) loved our stay at Villa Tambuuco.  The house was just as advertised.  5 huge bedrooms (the sixth room wasn't even needed by our group!), each with their private baths.  The huge rooms with tall ceilings and solid construction were quite private and quiet.  Hammocks in every room.  Beautiful roof top patio with a great view of the sea.  A private beach was a two-block stroll and the house had plenty of beach toys, chairs and umbrellas.  Laurice and all the rest were so responsive... helped us arrange trips, connecting us with drivers with vans large enough to hold us all.  Lupe came every day and cleaned and was so friendly and kind, particularly with the children.  We loved that the house was provided with a water system that was safe to drink, so we didn't have to buy any bottled water!  The piano was greatly appreciated by the musicians in the family, too.  We hope to get back there soon.  Thanks for a great stay!

Stunning house and location! Just steps away from the beach and a short walk away everything else. Our group loved our time here, Marc and his on-site team made us feel right at home and were so helpful and responsive. Great service and suggestions all around. Hope to visit again someday!

Wonderful house for our group of 10 and great location - easy beach access. Thanks for everything!

What a magnificent stay! The house was so comfortable. We had 9 adults and 3 children, and there was plenty of room for everyone. Stephane, the property manager, was beyond helpful. He got us taxi’s, and his catering company even prepared the most glorious meal one night of our stay. Lupe, the housekeeper, was lovely. One of the showers wasn’t working, so we just had them use one of the other ones in the house. That was the only minor issue. We were a short walk to the beach, dinning, and shopping. It was a magical stay and we couldn’t be happier.

We were 11 members of a family and we all enjoyed our stay very much. Lupe the helper came everyday to clean and do the laundry which was something we all appreciated. The kitchen was generally well equipped but a few more pots would have facilitated our cooking.

Beautiful villa and very responsive host. On-site and offsite staff were all very kind and helpful in making our stay comfortable.

Super specious house, the rooms are very large and really great to accommodate an extended family. The beach is only a short walk away, truly beautiful sand and water. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here!

It was great. The only complaint I would have is there's no AC in the main areas so you need to prepare for that and the location is a little removed from where the taxis wait at the gate. In hindsight, I probably would have rented a car to make it easier.

Fabulous and private location. Beach is literally in your backyard. Marco is a super host! My family of 18 fit perfectly. There is a full size bathroom in each bedroom. 4 floors of beautiful rooms and an outside private room affixed to the house. Each bedroom has a king size bed with either a full or twin in it. Just a wonderful and beautiful home. We loved it. And Lupe the lady who is there to clean and cook breakfast everyday is so nice in addition to Abraham who is available to run errands. I can’t say enough great things about Villa Tambucco.

The home is beautiful and perfect for large groups. We were supposed to have about 14 people, but ended up with 9. The home would have very easily accommodated 14-16 people. Marco, Stephane, Lupe and everyone we interacted with at the house were great. We arranged a grocery trip ahead of time and had food and drinks upon arrival. Lupe made us delicious breakfasts and kept the house spotless. Stephane went out of his way to help us with additional groceries throughout the week. The living spaces can get a little warm, but the wading pool and beach so close by made for easy ways to cool off. All of the rooms have their own restroom and coffee makers - and they are air conditioned! We would visit any home that Marco and team owned.

The staff at Villa Tambuco was very friendly and helpful.  Laurice responded quickly to questions and our needs.  Lupe and Amelia prepared fabulous breakfasts and Stephane was helpful in suggestions of places to go.  Our party of 14 had a wonderful time.

Marc was a great host and the place was lovely. I recommend booking the catering company tasty nomads if you want a good meal at the home by chefs. It’s has a lot of immensities and the location was perfect. Would stay again

Marc, Laurice, Lupe, and Stephane make an incredible team.  Marc connected us to Stephane who, prior to arrival, made a grocery run for a small fee and helped set up reservations at some restaurants and beach clubs in town.  Laurice made check in easy and ran through details of the house.   The kitchen is fully equipped, and Lupe made breakfast upon request.  Incredible chilaquiles and omelettes.  The house is grande, with most rooms the size of a small studio apartment. We took advantage of the bikes, wading pool, and ping pong table, and relaxed on the roof deck in the mornings.   There are local taxi services that can take you back and forth into town, or it’s is an approximately 20min walk to one end of the Avenida Norte.    Overall, the 9 of us had an incredible stay.  Be sure to touch base with Stephane to get tips on the local scene.

The house is beautiful and my large group enjoyed our stay. It is right near the beach and there are beach supplies to make it easy to enjoy. Our group had 6 adults and 8 children and there was plenty of space. The kids enjoyed the ease of playing in the pool multiple times a day. One thing to be aware of is there are a lot of stairs and because of the gorgeous high ceilings, it can be quite a hike to get to the rooms on the above floors. The ACs in the bedrooms work great, but there is not any in the main living spaces, so it can be rather warm. It was nice having Lupe to clean the house while we were there and Stephane was helpful in arranging shuttles and making suggestions for local activities. He is also a great chef!

How lucky was I to spend a big birthday with the best of friends in the beautiful Villa Tambuuco?!?!   The house is better than the pictures.   The staff - wonderful Lupe and Abrahm - treated us like family and were incredibly responsive.   The neighborhood is quiet, safe and just lovely.   Our host was filled with ideas for restaurants and fun things to do.   We even had a private chef cook for us a couple of nights.   Truly awesome experience!

Great host and staff. The house staff, Lupe and Abran, are great people with whom we became friends. They took great care of us. We had an even better experience than we expected. Location is wonderful, short walk to the beach yet still close enough to walk to restaurants and Playa del Carmen attractions if you want. We plan to return to this location.

Great stay at Villa Tambucco! We had a large group and this was the perfect accommodation for us - walking distance to beach and <15 min walk from 5th avenue. Villa team also helped us coordinate logistics such as airport shuttles and dinner reservations. Highly recommend!

Where do I even begin…we loved everything about Villa Tambuuco for my friend’s bachelorette weekend! Marc was so communicative, friendly and helpful when I inquired about the house/area. The owner, Laurice, was so sweet and helpful at check-in and made sure we felt comfortable with everything. This beautiful villa is in a private area that has security at the entrance and we, 11 girls, felt so safe the entire stay! Once you walk past security to town, you are literally off the strip to the mall/main street Quinta Avenida so it was so easy to walk/bike around and explore! Stephane, Marc’s amazing business partner, went out of his way for us and helped us with taxis, groceries, private chef dinner and more! And finally, Lupe, the best and sweetest housekeeper, made the most delicious breakfast for us and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. I can’t recommend this incredible place enough and we will definitely be coming back! We love the Villa and the people behind it!😀❤️

Love love loved staying here! I went with a group of friends and this was the perfect setup. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. Each room has its own bathroom which makes cleaning up more timely/easy after a day at the beach. Be sure to confirm with them in advance that the boilers are turned on to get hot water for the shower. You can literally see the beach shore from the outside of the house! For check in/out flexibility and excursions, I cannot say enough good things. Marc and Stephane are so kind and extremely responsive and helpful. Whether it’s scheduling excursions, taxis, or planning for the best breakfasts from Lupe and Amelia. Everyone involved was so hospitable. Special shout out for Amelia. One of our guests cut her foot at the beach and didn’t let the language barrier get in the way. She went straight to the garden, cut fresh aloe, and helped bandage it up Was so sad to leave and cannot wait to come back!!

Mark and his mother were very helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed having Guadalupe the housekeeper. Place is lovely and a great location. Our family enjoyed it very much!

What a wonderful Christmas we got to spend at Marc’s place with our family. He was communicative the whole way and answered many of our questions prior to arrival. It’s a huge plus to have a housekeeper, who was the most incredible women. Also, Marc introduced us to a chef who helped with making sure our stay was supported with whatever other services were required. I would be very interested in coming back here again in the future

Nothing short of amazing. Marco and team provided me and my group the foundation for a magnificent experience! We were there for a 12 person bachelor party and the space was more than enough room for a big group. The pictures really do not give it its proper justice for how elegant truly Tambucco is. The home had everything we needed/wanted and then some. Stephane provided awesome coordination for shuttles, local recommendations, and nightlife events. Lupe concocted amazing breakfast meals and was always attentive and kept the home spotless! We’ll definitely be back.

Good afternoon. The villa is nice , everything is great , a little overloaded with energy saving, and there is no air conditioning in the living room . In general, these shortcomings do not interfere with a good rest! 2 min. to the sea , PlayaCar is a great neighborhood . Thanks Marka 🙌🏼

Добрый день. Вилла хорошая , все замечательно , немного перебарщивают с экономией энергии , и нет кондиционера в гостиной . В целом эти недостатки не мешают хорошему отдыху! 2 минуты до моря , ПлаяКар- отличный район . Спасибо Марку 🙌🏼

Amazing there is not other word to describe our stay. The house is even better that the pictures. Clean, lots of amenities and Mrs Guadalupe is amazing. Marc answer all my questions in few minutes. We will definitely staying there again.

Beautiful, huge -yet cozy place. We were greeted by the owner, Loris. Which to us was a very personal and amazing experience, since you don’t get to see the owners that frequently. She gave us a very detailed tour of the house, and took her time to make sure we were ready for our stay. The communication is TOP NOTCH with Alejandro, he replies right away with any question or concern you may have. The house is very clean, very spacious- Lupe the cleaner is very sweet and is always making sure you have clean sheets and the rooms are flipped right away. The house is constantly clean, you don’t even see when she’s cleaning, she’s that good. Also, if you have dirty clothes, give it to her in the early morning and right away she puts it to wash, folds and gives it to you. The area is near a mall and you have many stores just at the entrance of Playacar. ** there’s a Starbucks in the mall, just FYI** I am definitely coming back with the whole family! This has been one of the best places I’ve stayed and best host I had.

Villa Tambuuco was really fantastic!! We had a great time in this incredible house with very inviting and relaxing spaces. Very spacious common areas for all the group to be together and nicely decorated and ample rooms. Marc, Horacio and Lupe were phenomenal hosts! very communicative and attentive beyond their duties, it made our stay very pleasant. We highly recommend this place!!

Our stay at casa Tambuuco was phenomenal. This was the home of the architect who designed the property and his family for 25 years. Hence, you will not be staying at a generic Airbnb when you book this place. It is a home the promotes communication and reflection. Books, exposed materials, high ceilings, and cross ventilation will stimulate your imagination at the same time it will invite you to rest. There was a bad storm the day before our arrival to the property, which affected the wifi (a few of us were working full time during the work week). Nonetheless, Marco was very active and sent a technician as soon as it was possible, which was much appreciated. After that, the wifi worked beautifully. The house is a short walk to the beach and to 5a Avenida. This is a good place to stay if you want to avoid taxis or renting a car. If you sleep with the windows open (which is possible due to cross ventilation), you will be able to listen to the ocean, which is great if you happen to sleep with someone who snores. Finally, if you need the room to be pitch black to sleep, you might want to bring an eye mask. I strongly recommend Casa Tambuuco.

Villa Tambuuco is such a lovely home.. The welcoming high ceilings, the vintage decorations and plenty of breeze flowing trough the house. Each room has its own essence and soul, the views from the roof top are beyond than amazing. Marc was really helpful and always happy to help. He gave me really good information about the local fauna and told me about really nice places to take amazing photos. The villa, the area and the host were beyond amazing. Would definitely recommend!

A group of 12 adults stayed at Marc's place and we loved it. The house is so spacious and has so much character. Several commons spaces to hang out and minutes walk to the beach. Town is also very close, especially if you walk the beach. Marc helped us with airport transfer. Lupe was by each day to keep the place tidy. The house is well stocked with everything you need. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house is just beautiful. Would highly recommend!

The house is really beautiful with lots of charm and plenty of space. Very stylish decoration and overall good comfort. The house was clearly big enough to accommodate our party of 8 adults and 6 small kids. The location is great, inside a very safe residence and 3 minutes walk from Playacar beach which is quite and beautiful. The help from housekeeping lady was great (do ask for her delicious Mexican recipes). A few items in the kitchen merits to be replaced but we were able to cook all we wanted. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we recommend it for family gatherings.

Wow. The house, the location, Lupe and Marco were amazing!  The house was massive and had amazing views of the ocean. Lupes breakfast and friendliness made this stay feel like a home. Marco was friendly and super responsive to any requests.  Highly recommended!

Wow, I had such an amazing time at Marc’s place. This house is so authentic and if you’re looking for a place to stay in Playa del Carmen then this is it. Marc is an very communicative and always making are stay was good. Thank you again Marc!  5/5 😄

World class location and amazing, palatial "Hacienda a la Playa". Vaulted ceilings, private rooms, scenic balconies, beautiful beach, friendly security...Wow! We can'twait to come back. Marc is a responsive and thoughtful host...Lupe an excellent cook and cleaner. We truly can't say enough good things about this special Air B n B!
